APAR status

  • Closed as new function.

Error description

  • Dataload utility fails to load a product with assigned attribute
    values when the product associated with those values had
    previously been deleted. The assigned value attributes from the
    product were not deleted from attrval and attrvaldesc tables
    when the product was deleted, hence are referred to as orphan
    attributes.
    

Local fix

  • Manually remove the attrval entries, and re-load them into the
    database.
    

Problem summary

  • USERS AFFECTED:
     Anyone who uses the dataload utility to add/remove assigned
    attribute dictionary attributes and products
    
     PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
     Dataload utility fails to load products when processing
    previously orphaned attribute values.
    
     BUSINESS IMPACT:
     Cannot load a product which is previously deleted without IT
    intervention.
    
     RECOMMENDATION:
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code is added for checking if the assigned attribute value is
    orphaned.  If the value is orphaned  (no parent relationships
    found) the attribute and value loading will be permitted.
