Local fix

Problem summary

• If a business object that was created from importing a language
  file such as Cobol, C, or PL/1, is refactored by performing an
  operation such as renaming, all the metadata information in the
  business object created by the language import is removed. As a
  result, the secondary artifacts cannot be generated.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for Integration Designed V8.5.6 for all the
  metadata in the business object to be preserved during
  refactoring.
