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. PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Advanced IBM BPM Standard IBM BPM Express

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.
