Error description

  • After connection failures between DataPower Gateway(s) and API
    Management servers, the recovery attempts made by the Gateway(s)
    may result in mismatched credentials between APIM and the
    Gateway and error such as:
    
    [apic-gw-service][error] apic-gw-service(default): tid(245):
    Unable to obtain access token from
    https://<apim-rest-platform-endpoint>/api/token
    [apic-gw-service][error]  apic-gw-service(default): tid(245):
    Unable to advertise policies to the API Manager. Error:
    StatusCodeError: 401 - {"status":401,"message":["Unauthorized"]}

    by restarting the gateway(s) manually.
