Version 8.5.0 Fix Pack 1 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Process Portal is making two Exposed REST API calls which are
  requesting
  the same information. These two requests are made by two
  different
  widgets for the same data. This causes performance issues, if
  the REST
  calls takes a long time to respond.
  
  Example Exposed REST call:
  .../rest/bpm/wle/v1/exposed?federationMode=true&dojo.preventCach
  e=xxxxxx
  xxxxxxxx
