APAR status

• Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description

• When a process application fails to be uninstalled the
  application is left is a state where it can't be stopped,
  started or uninstalled. This is because the business-level
  application (BLA) and composition unit (CU) for the application
  are removed. These correspond to the BLAs and CUs folders
  under the config folder.
  -
  This is the scenario:
  1. You attempt to uninstall a process application.
  2. The BLA task runs before the WebSpere Process Server task.
  The BLA task removes the BLA and CU.
  3. The WebSpere Process Server task fails the uninstall
  expectly because the templates are active.
  CWWBF0025E: Process WFUUDemoFlowCarOrderingC40 of
  application WFUUDemoFlowCarOrderingC40App still has
  instances. Terminate and delete all process instances
  before updating or uninstalling a process application.
  4. You save the configuration.
  5. The application is still installed but without a BLA or CU
  for it.
  6. The application can not be stopped or started.
  7. The application can not be uninstalled.
