Error description

• When you migrate process instances that contain unwired
  subprocesses or linked processes that are not ad hoc activity
  implementations, you might receive either one of the following
  inaccurate warning messages in the SystemOut.log file:
  
  wle_migration W
  com.lombardisoftware.bpd.runtime.engine.cases.MigrateBPDAdhocAct
  ivityInstances.addAdhocActivitiesFromDiagram Detected a
  Flowobjects Loop of length=1020.
  or
  
  [2/23/15 12:05:52:478 CST] 00018147 wle_migration W
  com.lombardisoftware.bpd.runtime.
  engine.cases.MigrateBPDAdhocActivityInstances
  addAdhocActivitiesFromDiagram Detected a Flowobjects Loop of
  length=1. FlowObject Id's in this Loop
  are=[BPDObjectIdImpl(...)] .   Current FlowObject is =...,
  id=BPDObjectIdImpl(...) . Stopping the precondition cache
  computation for this loop.
  
  The last warning is emitted when processes are self-referential
  or recursive, meaning that a linked process points to the
  current process definition or for processes containing several
  linked processes, a linked process refers to the same process.
  You might also notice that the performance of the instance
  migration is significantly affected.
