APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Data load utility fails to generate an alternate URL keyword for
  a category that uses an existing (duplicate) category name.
  

Local fix

• Manually specify a URL keyword for the category using WebSphere
  Commerce Management Center.
  

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce users using the SEO feature.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  Data load utility fails to generate an alternate URL keyword for
   a category when it encounters a duplicate category name.
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  The URL keyword for duplicated categories needs to be created
  manually.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified the CatalogGroupMediator class to handle duplicates.
  The data load utility will now alway use the <category name> as
  the default URL keyword. This may not always be a unique value
  as the same category name may appear in multiple branches of the
   catalog.
  
  If this URL keyword is already in use, it will attempt to use
  the <category name><category identifier> as the default keyword
  to ensure uniqueness. If the value is still not unique, it will
  use <category name><category identifier><language ID> as the
  default URL keyword.
  

Temporary fix
