AFX server fails to start with a message: WARNING!! Timed out waiting for AFX applications to start. Please check AFX application log files for detailed status information.
User-added image
Cause
This issue occurs because the host name in the afx-config.properties does not match with the actual host name. 
 
Resolution
NOTE: Always take a backup before making any changes to a file.

Assuming that you have already tried the steps mentioned in KB-000029259 - RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle Access Fulfillment Express (AFX) Server fails to start with message: WARNING!! Timed out waiting for AFX applications to start  and still the AFX fails to start with the message:  WARNING!! Timed out waiting for AFX applications to start. Please check AFX application log files for detailed status information.

Check for the below information in the mule_ee.log while starting the AFX:

Compare the Initialization Request URL with the host name of the current machine. If there is a difference in the host name in the log file, we need to make the below changes in the afx-config.properties to start the AFX successfully. 

Till Version 7.0.0
  1. Open a SSH session and cd to the AFX directory/mule/lib/user.  
    cd /home/oracle/AFX/mule/lib/user/
  2. Do a listing in this location and open the "afx-config.properties".
  3. Look for the "afx.config.acm.host=" in the afx-config-properties file.

  4. Change the "afx.config.acm.host=" to the correct host name and save the changes.

  5. Start the AFX and it should start successfully.  

Post Version 7.0.1
From version 7.0.1 the mule directory is replaced with ESB.
  1. Open a SSH session and cd to the AFX directory/esb/lib/user. 
    cd /home/oracle/AFX/esb/lib/user/
  2. Follow the steps 2 to 4 mentioned above and it will start the AFX successfully.
