Workaround for 404 Not Found errors
When APPC is logging 404 errors when trying to communicate with DMaaP and A&AI check that the /etc/hosts file contains entries mapping the hostnames used in properties files to the IP addresses of the servers that you want to access.
e.g. aaiclient.properties file contains
org.onap.ccsdk.sli.adaptors.aai.uri=https://aai.onap:8443
may require an entry e.g.
10.12.5.114 aai.onap
In the /etc/hosts file in order for communication to work.
