APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
If a catalog is deleted in API Manager shortly after it is created, the next time API Connect Gateway Service is restarted (in a scenario where dynamic re-registration and reconfiguration is not triggered), it might fail to initialize (repeatedly, as it will automatically attempt to restart when it is down). When this happens, you will see error messages in the DataPower default log similar to the following: 20210810T160221.364Z [0x88e000a0][apic-gw-service][error] apic-gw-service(default): tid(400): Unable to initialize gateway environment: datapower 20210810T160221.365Z [0x88e00001][apic-gw-service][error] apic-gw-service(default): tid(400): Unexpected error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined 20210810T160221.365Z [0x88e00127][apic-gw-service][error] apic-gw-service(default): tid(400): Stack trace for previous error: at refreshArtifacts (/root/gateway-director/lib/gateway-cont roller/datapower/DataPowerController.js:1835:33) at async DataPowerController.init (/root/gateway-director/li b/gateway-controller/datapower/DataPowerController.js:429:7) at async Object.module.exports.init (/root/gateway-director/lib/queueProcessor.js:218:5) at async connectBackend (/root/gateway-director/app.js:437:7) at async Server.serversStarted (/root/gateway-director/app.js:430:5) (In the first message illustrated above, "datapower" (for a gateway service of type "DataPower Gateway (v5 compatible)") or "apigateway" (for a gateway service of type "DataPower API Gateway") will be included.)
