Progress Controller was left in running state on startup

I got the message "Progress Controller was left in running state on startup" in progress worker table. The job behind was cancelled after 5 hours by the system. btw: the job takes 5-6 hours and runs mostly successful in the days before.

Does anybody know this message? What does it mean?

I will always try to give a meaningful and valid answer.

Thank you, please make helpful if you accept the solution.

No, didn't help. Has nothing to do with Progress Worker.

I just had the same issue, tho for mine there was a bug in my code and rerunning it fixed did work.  Looking forward to hearing an answer to this!

I am also getting this message attempting to run our ATF test suites which normally run without this message.  Was this still not resolved for you Guido?
