Running AFX Connectors start to fail, edited connectors remain in a Not Deployed state and 'Could not connect to broker URL: tcp://localhost:61616 (Connection refused)' error in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle
Originally Published: 2019-10-17
Article Number
Applies To
RSA Version/Condition: 7.0.x, 7.1.x
Issue
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
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
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
Please refer to the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle Installation Guide for your RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle version to see the ports required by AFX.
