Local fix
Problem summary
When you use UTF8 characters in the alias name for business data variables, which need more than 1 byte, and use the SchemaGenerator, you might see an error like "ORA-00972 identifier is too long alias column name" if the bytes needed to represent the alias name as the column name in a table are too many.
