Hello,

On my webMethods cloud environment I had API Gateway, Developer Portal, MFT and Integration Server.
All of a sudden I can use only Integration Server and Developer Portal, but API Gateway and MFT throws 502 Bad Gateway Error.

IBM support does not help with Free Forever environment, so I am just checking if anyone has such an issue and how to fix it?

Kind regards,

Mirjana

Hi Mirjana,
the API GW as well as PORTAL have an automatic check if daily used, else, in order to lower runtime costs in FFE Environments they are going down.

You might also have already noticed the new headlines in your instances that inform the existing FFE users that with the adoption of IBM License model there will be no more Free Forever in the future.
