APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Requests to stop the Process Federation Server are not processed
  immediately. After 5 minutes, you see the following error
  messages in the messages.log file:

  Then the server finally stops.
  
  Also, when you update the elasticSearch configuration property
  in the server.xml file, the elasticSearch service starts to shut
  down and becomes unresponsive to subsequent queries.

Local fix

Problem summary

• Stopping the Process Federation Server takes so long because the
   Process Federation Server waits for another component to shut
  down, ultimately timing out after 5 minutes of waiting, and then
   shutting down.
  
  The elasticSearch service starts to shut down because the
  configuration was updated. It restarts with outdated component
  references.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix for IBM BPM V8.5.6.0 is available that fixes the component
   shutdown and restart logic. This fix is superseded by JR52828.
