Description Chris Pelland 2012-05-24 14:48:17 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #801861 +++

Description of problem:

While I understand that I caused this issue to myself, it seems that some potential checking would have save a bit of aggravation.

I had a mutli-instance Blueprint which one assembly returned two parameters to another instance.  Access to the parameters use a reference to the assembly 
name.  I mistyped a "-" instead of a "_", thus the expect parameters were not actually defined.   Then the instance that was waiting in the boot sequence for the parameters was waiting for config server to pass them to it, it wait since config server never had the 'correct' parameters.

Seems like this case could have been caught prior to launch by checking that names and reference existing in the Blueprint.
