Issue/Introduction

BusinessEvents TEA Agent Machine status remains "Unreachable".

Environment

Product: TIBCO BusinessEvents Version: 5.3.x OS: Linux

Resolution

This is caused by the network firewall. The InetAddress.getByName("").isReachable BE code is trying to establish a TCP connection on port 7 (Echo) of the destination host and this port (7) is often closed by the network firewall.


Resolution

= = = = = =

Allow TCP port no 7 in the firewall configuration.
