  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM BPM Express, Standard and Advanced      *

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Executing saved search queries using    *
  *                      REST API with filter 'NOT LIKE' does    *
  *                      not take effect.                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Users can execute saved searches using REST API Tester(Search
  API  ¢â€ â€™ Execute Query) or by invoking the following URL :
  http://localhost:9080/rest/bpm/wle/v1/tasks/query/<saved_search>
  ?queryFilter=<filter_expression>
  A filter can be used to exclude unnecessary values that are
  not required by the user.  The following filters are available
  for filtering: CONTAINS, STARTS WITH, ENDS WITH, LIKE , NOT
  LIKE .  A problem occurs when using the filter 'NOT LIKE' as
  it will return all values that will contain the value
  specified in the filter.  Meaning, the query will filter the
  response as if it was using the filter 'LIKE'.  Therefore, the
  results of the query are incorrect.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix has been developed to properly filter the results
  according to the 'NOT LIKE' expression and will return results
  that do not contain the specified value.
  An interim fix for 8.5.0.0 is available. On Fix Central
