Symptom
Trying to enable an ICM port (service) in SMICM transaction, it returns an error, because ICMBND cannot bind the service.
WebDispatcher/ICM trace (dev_webdisp/dev_icm) shows:
*** ERROR => IcmStartIcmBnd: "/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/icmbnd" failed with rc: <RC> - inspect "dev_icmbnd" [icxxextbnd_m 1116]
*** WARNING => Could not start service (rc=-1)
On dev_icmbnd, following error occurs:
