Local fix

Problem summary

• In a Process Center environment, you have more than one snapshot
  of a process application and use a nested business object. If
  the newer snapshot removes properties in the nested business
  object (the parent business object is unchanged) and you attempt
  to run the older snapshot, business objects from the newer
  snapshot might be used.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.6.0 that ensures that the
  selected snapshot is used for all nested business objects.
