Issue
All AFX transactions are failing yet the AFX Server and AFX Connectors show as Running.

Additional Symptoms are:

  • The AFX Server is Running and the AFX connectors initially show as Running but any change request using AFX eventually stalls.
  • A test of any connector times out.
  • Editing any connector and saving the changes (even  if no changes were made), causes the connector to go into a Not Deployed state and remain in the Not Deployed state.
  • The $AFX_HOME/esb/logs/esb.AFX-INIT.log has the following error:

  • The $AFX_HOME/activemq/data/activemq.log has the following error:
2020-02-28 12:33:13,382 | ERROR | Failed to start ActiveMQ JMS Message Broker. Reason:
java.io.IOException: Invalid location: 1:582176, : java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException | org.apache.activemq.broker.BrokerService | main
java.io.IOException: Invalid location: 1:582176, : java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException

 
Cause
The key error here is: 
Could not connect to broker URL: tcp://localhost:61616. 
Reason: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection refused)

The connection error indicates that port 61616 is already in use by another application or not available for AFX. Port 61616 is the ActiveMQ JMS port and AFX requires exclusive access to this port.
 
Resolution
Identify what other application or process is using port 61616 and permanently free it up for use with AFX. 

Please refer to the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle Installation Guide for your RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle version to see the ports required by AFX.
