Local fix

Problem summary

• While cleaning up a snapshot, IBM BPM must repair an incorrect
  foreign key relationship between the LSW_CLASS and
  BPM_SHARED_OBJECT tables. While running for the system toolkit,
  this repair performed incorrect logic.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.5.0 that corrects the repair
  logic to work during an upgrade of the system toolkit as well.
