Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

This typically indicates that there is a communication issue or Kafka configuration problem. The error occurs when Devtest tries to connect to Kafka but cannot read the Topic response before the timeout period.

Resolution

The below steps resolved the issue:

  • Review the network connection or firewalls or IP/DNS resolution to ensure that DevTest can communicate properly with Kafka.  May also need to check the Kafka configuration to make sure the Topic specified is properly configured.
  • Start the Coordinator and Simulator as server components specifying the Coordinator and Simulator names on the command line as well as the Registry. 
For example:
C:\CA\DevTest\bin\Coordinator.exe -n ssl://<IP address>:2011/Coordinator -m ssl://<IP address>:2010/Registry
C:\CA\DevTest\\bin\Simulator.exe -n ssl://<IP address>:2014/Simulator -m ssl://<IP address>:2010/Registry

 

Able to successfully stage the Kafka test case
