Error description
If the customer source has the customer jar in lib/ext, post migration some customer will copy the BPMInternalProvider.jar like other customer jar, this will introduce class not found or verify error issue. The apar is used to detect and auto-remove the BPMInternalProvider.jar
Local fix
If the BPMInternalProvider.jar was copied to <install_root>/lib/ext as part of migrating from IBM BPM V8.5 or earlier to BPM V8.5.x, remove this file before running any IBM BPM upgrade commands, like bootsrapProcessServerData or BPMUpdateSystemApp, in the new version environment.
Problem summary
As part of the migration procedure, custom .jar files from the <install_root>/lib/ext directoriy in the migration source environment are copied to the migration target environment. This directory includes the BPMInternalProvider.jar file, which was removed in IBM BPM V8.5. If you copy not only your JAR files, but also the BPMInternalProvider.jar file from the previous version of IBM BPM, the BPMInternalProvider.jar file might cause strange symptoms in the migration target environment, as shown in the exceptions.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
