used along with custom XPath functions.

AMBW- For Group mode, if the AppNodes are unresponsive for more than 31 seconds
44450 then the process starter activity is disabled for the AppNodes which results in
AppNodes are marked as inactive by the reco..///very system.

43501 to a REST resource. In TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 5.x, the service
processing logic is delegated to a subprocess as per operation. Normally the
subprocess is migrated. To supplement this, a call process is created to invoke
that subprocess in the REST resource.

You may need to fix the mapping for the newly created call process manually.
This could fix the mapping itself, or the input and output schemas for the called
subprocess.

Note: The REST Service descriptor supports both internal and external WADL
references. However, we do not support multiple resources pointing to the
same resource path and having the same HTTP method.

AMBW- After migration, the Mapper activity is migrated as an empty activity.

Workaround: In TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 5.x the transition condition

$Map-Data/ConditionType[last()] is treated as boolean but not in ActiveMatrix
BusinessWorks™ 6.x as ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 6.x has strict validations.

In order to resolve this, please update the condition as follows:

Workaround: Migrate that project in a different workspace, because the issue is

intermittent.

AMBW- Summary: Post migration, a schema cannot refer the .WSDL file in it and if you

36077 client binding that uses SOAP RPC Encoded arrays, the following WSDL validation
error occurs:

WSDL In-line schema SOAP encoded array type error. In-line schema in WSDL file
contains SOAP encoded array type which requires a fix pattern.

Workaround: Download the SOAP Encoding schema from

'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/', and put it into the ActiveMatrix
