How to bring Informatica Node up when there's a port conflict

The issue can be due to one of the previous Informatica server startup was not completely killed on OS
or  some other application has already occupied the port.
Shut down the node again using "$PMRootDir/server/tomcat/bin/infaservice.sh shutdown".
If that didn’t resolve the issue still, issue “lsof –i :<port_number>” command to get which process occupied the port and kill it using it’s PID

sathish@linux-term01:/opt/informatica/powercenter861/server/tomcat/bin> lsof -i :9005
COMMAND    PID     USER   FD   TYPE   DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
java      5678 sathish   5u  IPv6    15047       TCP *:9005 (LISTEN)


lsof – “list of open files” is a useful command to know what are the files/connections/ports being used on the OS at the point.

Now kill PID 5678 using "kill -9 5678"
Port conflict will now be resolved and will be able to bring up Informatica Server without problem.
