Trying to connect Kafka(IBM Eventstreams) via IBM APP Connect 12

    Hi All,

    I am trying to connect Kafka(IBM Eventstreams) via ACE(local test server)toolkit , I am getting below error.

    BIP4362E: Java node error: [BIPmsgs:3891]BIP3891E: The Kafka input connector was unable to subscribe to topic 'test-log' on Kafka server at address 'eventstreams-kafka-bootstrap-eventstreams.ted-de-rhp-91d398e86d37abcd-i000.eu-de.containers.domain.cloud:443'. Explanation 'Timeout expired while fetching topic metadata'.

     The Kafka input connector attempted to subscribe to the topic 'test-log' but no response was received within the timeout period. Possible reasons for this are:
    1) The Kafka server is not running at the server address.
    2) The security credentials supplied are invalid.
    The Kafka input connector will retry the operation.

    If the problem persists, investigate and rectify the cause of the failure using the information in the message explanation and retry the operation. Further information on the cause of the failure may be available by enabling more detailed logging from the Kafka client by modifying the log4j properties file. : writeSystemLogError.

    Note:  Added truststore certificates and kafka policy (configured everything for connecting kafka). 

    Kindly help to to resolve this issue.  Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Aswini, 

    I saw that you also asked this question in the IBM Event Streams and IBM Event Automation community - I provided an answer there with a link and it seems like it helped. 

    I just wanted to link to that thread here in cause anyone else is looking for the same answer. Here is the link.
