Hi,

the problem is one of the communication configuration that you have
in place for the IDS instance.
Unfortunately (as I've written sometime ago already), the error message
does not tell _which_ listener thread is having the problem (as you can
have several different ones configured).

If you've configured TCP/IP communication ("onsoctcp" or "ontlitcp" in
your sqlhosts file), then it is likely a problem of network resources,
e.g.
the port that you configured is already in use by some other process.
Check the port definition in your sqlhosts file and that it is correctly
(unambiguously) defined in /etc/services.
You may also want to use "netstat -an" to check for used ports ...

If you've SHM communiction configured ("onipcshm" in sqlhosts file),
then it can be a problem with the shared memory, maybe an old SHM
segment still being around from another instance. Also it can happen that
another instance has the same port definition in the sqlhosts. For SHM
these may need to be unambiguous also. This is because the port name
may be used to create a unique file name. It depends on the version of
IDS and perhaps on the platform you're on ...

For still other protocols ("onipcstr") there can be similar reasons why it
doesn't work (sqlhosts port name entry).

Last but not least - check your $ONCONFIG file. Especially check for
the NETTYPE parameter. If it is defined for a protocol that you haven't
configured in your sqlhosts with a proper server name, it may happen
that IDS tries to start a listener thread for this protocol - using some
rather unpredictable port number or filename (see above). Such
constellations can have quite strange effects. Best is to remove all
NETTYPE definitions from your $ONCONFIG unless you've properly
defined them yourself, for a correct servername with proper sqlhosts
entry.

Regards,
Martin
