Your AppServer Broker is definitely dying or crashing. The port numbers you are asking about are created by the broker at random when it starts agents (this is sometimes called an ephemeral port). Each agent has its own port number to communicate with the broker. The error message in the server log says the agent has lost its connection (via the ephemeral port). In this case the agent shuts its self down, since there is no controlling broker. Forget about the port numbers they are not important to the problem. Your job is to find out why the broker is crashing or dying. 1) The first thing to do is increase logging for the broker. 2) Next check all the log files in the working directly, there may be more information in another log (like the admserv.log) or there may be other files that are created when the broker crashes. 3) Also you can use JAVA startup commands to monitor memory usage and dump a thread stack if the broker process crashes (search kbase for "java dump") 4) next when your AppServer crashes, have you checked to see if the process still exists? Maybe it is just unresponsive? If that is the case, getting a stack dump of the process is your next step. 5) lastly monitor the broker java process from the operating system. does the memory grow continually? does the CPU go runaway? Whatever you choose above the idea is to find out why the broker is no longer available to the agents. Let me know what you find. Regards, Roy Ellis
