Symptoms

Several error messages are being displayed when importing a Configuration Package from the Stage environment to the Production environment. Each of the errors (as noted below) suggest that a Data Element has been removed from the published version.  Some of the Data Elements being referenced as missing may never have been in the published version; others referenced as missing are still a part of the published version design.

Data element [Data Element 1] is removed from the published version.
Data element [Data Element 2] is removed from the published version.
(etc.)

 The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Log into the Unifier Stage environment.
2. Go to Company Workspace > Admin Mode > Configuration Packages.
3. Create a new configuration package to include the Business Process design that is being moved from Stage to Production.
4. Log into the Production environment.
5. Go to Company Workspace > Admin Mode > Configuration Packages.
6. Import the configuration package created in Step 3 above into the Production environment.
7. Import fails with the reported error(s).
8. When viewing these Elements in the Usage page, they do not show up in this Business Process.
