FIX: The BAM Portal request view display may be incorrect in BizTalk Server 2006 or in BizTalk Server 2006 R2

Consider the following scenario:

• In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 or in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2, you click the Activity Search Request node of the Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) Portal request view display.
• You add an activity item as a DateTime type, and then you click the DateTime column under Column Chooser.
• Under Query, you select the Before the last operator. For example, you select a value of "2" and "Day".
• You set the alert, and you save the alert.

If you select Modify search condition(s), you notice that all values are still the same.

However, you select that activity under the Alert Management node of that view, you click the alert that you created, and then you select Modify search condition(s). Now, notice that the values that you previously set have changed. In particular, the Operator value is changed from "Before the last" to "In the last."

Note This problem randomly occurs with different values.
