Error description

• Customer defined a saved search in BPM 8.0 using Process
  Designer and
  mapped a list variable inside a business object to a value. The
  list
  type with all its fields used to show up in Process Designer
  such that
  the customer could go to the variable inside the list and then
  create
  the saved search. In 8.0.1 , the customer is trying to unmap the
  saved
  search they created in 8.0 , but they cannot seem to find the
  correct
  location of the mapping of the list variable.
  Example warning in the logs
  W CWLLG0328W: A variable marked as searchable has been deleted.
  To eliminate this warning, re-create this variable and deselect
  "Available in Search" in the authoring environment:
  tw.local.MyVariable
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• If a Saved Search was created on a field in a BPD, it was not
  possible to remove this Saved Search.
  
  USER AFFECTED:
  Business Process Manager Process Designer
  

Problem conclusion

• This fix will remove all Saved Searches in a variable when a
  variable is removed.
  
  USAGE:
  1. Open BPD that has problem, where search alias cannot be
  removed. Verify the BPD has problem, that it has the search
  alias that cannot be removed by,
   a. Add a private variable "temp" of type string.
   b. Select this variable in the tree.
   c. Select "Available in Search" checkbox
   d. Type the same search alias name, that cannot be removed, in
  the search alias text field.
   e. Notice red error icon with hover "There are multiple
  variable with name...", this is because search alias
  "supplierName" is already in use and cannot be removed.
  
  2. Use the fix to clean up the search alias.
   a. Apply this interim fix to Process Center (See section 2 and
  3)
   b. Download and install process designer (See section 6.1)
   c. Open  BPD that has problem, where search alias cannot be
  removed.
   d. Select variable with search alias in the tree on the
  variable tab.
   e. Click "Remove".
   f. This will remove the variable from the tree and will clean
  up all search aliases for (visible/invisible/expandable/not
  expanadable/deleted) elements of this variable.
   g. Re-add private variable, ie.
    i. Click "Add private"
    ii. For name, type the previously deleted variable's name
    iii. For type, select the same type as previously deleted
  variable's type
  
  3. Verify problem is not reproduced anymore
   a. Open BPD that has problem, where search alias cannot be
  removed.
   b. Add a private variable "temp" of type string.
   c. Select this variable in the tree.
   d. Select "Available in Search" checkbox
   e. Type the same search alias name, that cannot be removed, in
  the search alias text field.
   f. Notice no red error icon, concluding that search alias is
  not conflicting, and does not exist for any other variable.
