All Operating Systems

The following properties have been enabled in the TRA file used to start the agent, but the agent was not started with the parameter --propVar jmx_port=[JMX_PORT].

java.property.be.engine.jmx.connector.port=%jmx_port%
java.property.be.engine.jmx.connector.authenticate=false

In this case, the CDD property (be.engine.jmx.connector.port) to define the JMX port is ignored and the default port (5555) has been selected. On startup of the second agent, port 5555 is in use already. To fix the issue, comment out or delete the TRA properties to use the JMX port settings from the CDD file.

A second TIBCO BusinessEvents agent cannot start. It reports an error that the JMX port 5555 is already in use, but in the CDD file a different port than 5555 has been configured for the ProcessUnit (CDD property: be.engine.jmx.connector.port).
