getaddrinfo failed: EDC9501I The name does not resolve for the supplied parameters.

Problem

--getaddrinfo failed: EDC9501I The name does not resolve for the supplied parameters.
--Copilot server fails to start with that error
--CFT monitor is starting without an issue

Resolution


--because 'localhost' value can be used for the Copilot server (for internal tasks communication and/or general host address), the name needs to be defined in the /etc/hosts file on the USS and/or TCPIP.HOSTS.LOCAL file when the issue is related to the monitor.

Note: For IPV6 compatibility purpose, the TCP resolver used by CFT (and Copilot) is now GETADDRINFO (in place of the older GETHOSTBYNAME)
The new resolver does not resolve from its own the LOCALHOST value and refer to the local hosts file. If the entry is not found, we have the error.
 You can use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost or update the hosts file accordingly.

I.E:
   /etc/hosts
   ....
   127.0.0.1    localhost
