  When accessing the server-status page of a web server with the
  Intelligent Management enabled WebSphere plug-in, some servers
  that are in STOPPED state might show applications in STARTED
  state. This problem occurs when routing to application servers
  in a Liberty profile collective.
  

Problem conclusion

• When a Liberty profile collective member server loses
  communication with the Liberty collective controller server, the
  stored state of the applications on the Liberty profile member
  server may remain as STARTED, while the state of the Liberty
  profile member server itself will change to STOPPED. The code
  was changed to ensure that when a Liberty profile member server
  changes to STOPPED state, all of the applications on the Liberty
  profile member server will also be changed to STOPPED state.
