Error description

• While you migrate from IBM Business Process Manager (BPM)
  V7.5.1.2 to IBM BPM V8.5.7, you might use a feature in the
  V7.5.1.2 saved search definition to change the column name
  for business data (which is exposed for the search). This
  feature was available only in V7.5.1.2. Since IBM BPM
  V8.x, the column name has based on the alias definition
  for the business variable. Nevertheless, the customized
  column name (as it is saved within a product XML file)
  works in the runtime environment of IBM Process Portal and
  it is shown on the Heritage Process Portal. However, the
  customized column name is not displayed on the Process
  Portal in IBM BPM V8.5.7.

Problem summary

• No additional information is available.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7.0 cumulative fix
  2016.09 that uses the REST API that Heritage Process Portal used
  to get the missing data for Process Portal, shows the aliases
  defined in V7.5.1.2, and keeps the current behavior for saved
  search created on recent IBM BPM versions.
  
  With this fix applied, the aliases that you created for business
  data column on saved searches are displayed; however, you cannot
  create new saved searches with aliases for business data
  columns. Plus, if you modify a saved search with aliases for
  business data columns, those aliases are overwritten with the
  name of the column.
