[1/4/09 12:04:57:047 IST] 0000000a AdminTool A ADMU0509I: The server "bcgexpress" cannot be reached. It appears to be stopped.

These errors can be safely ignored, as they do not affect the functionality of stopping the WebSphere Partner Gateway Express server.

WebSphere Partner Gateway Express when installed as a Windows service will not observe this error.
