This is a known issue in the following version:
- RSA Governance & Lifecycle 8.0.0
- RSA Governance & Lifecycle 8.0.0 P02
After starting AFX, some AFX Connectors fail to be deployed successfully due to Out of Memory errors.
This is most often seen after an RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle upgrade or after adding many new connectors to the existing configuration.
esb.AFX-MAIN.log contains the below error:
ERROR 2024-05-27 13:00:05,564 [connection-pool-delays-thread-pool(1)] [processor: PRIMARY_REQUEST/processors/5/route/2/processors/1; event: cf9e7a70-1c17-11ef-89bf-005056afd35a] org.mule.runtime.core.privileged.processor.chain.AbstractMessageProcessorChain: Unexpected state. Error handler should be invoked with either an Event instance or a MessagingException java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
1) Navigate to AFX/esb/conf folder

# Initial Java Heap Size (in MB) -Xms
wrapper.java.initmemory=4092
# Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB) -Xmx
wrapper.java.maxmemory=4092
