Continuous timeout messages may occur while upgrading TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM. This happens when starting child application process flow (PE) components. It is a post-upgrade task which TCT (TIBCO Configuration Tool) executes.

Symptoms:

TCT log will display continuously the timeout message - "Timed out waiting for components to be ((?!STOPPED).)*".

WARN - Timed out waiting for components to be ((?!STOPPED).)*

Cause:

BPM upgrade sends start commands for each of the child app ProcessFlow* components that are in the Stopped state. If this ProcessFlow component has been deleted in a later version, admin does not issue the start command to node runtime. This causes the timeout to continuously occur.
