APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • After you install the interim fix JR47818, duplicated aliases
    names appear in Saved Search authoring because there are
    multiple BPD instances from multiple snapshots. This situation
    is invalid because the alias should be the same across
    snapshots. Duplicated alias names could also be caused by
    having the same alias name associated with different types. In
    this situation, the duplicated names are valid because they
    refer to different aliases.
