  Business Process Manager implements a custom defaulter which
  extends com.ibm.wsspi.profile.defaulters.GenericDefaulter
  which by default, logs all generated values.
  

Problem conclusion

• To prevent the logging of required defaulter generated values,
  the GenericDefaulter class was enhanced to hide logged values
  associated with keynames that can be specified on the
  wasprofiles.properties WS_WSPROFILE_MASKABLE_ACTION_ARGUMENTS
  property. This hiding feature was previously reserved for
  validated values processed by the Profiles validation
  framework. Business Process Manager will be using this
  property as required.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.6 and 8.5.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended
