Error description
Starting with IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) V8.5.7, you can create multiple independent saved search definitions that have the same name as long as you do not have access to the other saved search. Using the deprecated REST API 'Task Instance Query Entity List' to run the saved search by name might incorrectly cause a saved search defined by another user to run. PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express
Local fix
If the system was upgraded to IBM BPM 8.5.7 from a previous IBM BPM version and client applications use the deprecated REST API 'Task Instance Query Entity List', you can circumvent this problem by reinstalling the Saved Search process application from the previous version of IBM BPM and continue to use the Saved Search editor in the Process Admin Console instead of the Saved Search editor in Process Portal to manage your saved searches. For new V8.5.7 systems, use the new Saved Search REST APIs only.
Problem summary
The Saved Search editor in Responsive Process Portal and corresponding Saved Search REST APIs support defining and running saved searches that were created by different users but have the same name. The deprecated REST API used by Heritage Process Portal to run saved searches does not differentiate between users and always uses the last one saved.
Problem conclusion
A fix will be included in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2017.03 that ensures that the deprecated Saved Search REST APIs runs only saved searches that the respective user has access to as well.
Temporary fix
