JR53382: An error occurs when promotion details are displayed by default in the Aurora starter store discount details page.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After a promotion code is applied, attempting to view the
  promotion details might result in an error, such as:
  
  Error: The URL of the Marketing Ad Copy has no code specified,
  or has the wrong code.
  
  The DiscountDetailsDisplay.jsp file in the Aurora starter store
  contains a call to the AssociatedPromotionHandler by default to
  look up the promotion code by its name. The value of the
  qIncludePromotionCode parameter was incorrectly set to false.
  The correct value for this scenario is true.
  

Local fix

• Customers can modify the DiscountDetailsDisplay.jsp file in the
  Aurora starter store so that the qIncludePromotionCode value is
  set to true, instead of false.
  
  1) Open the
  <STORE_DIR>/ShoppingArea/DiscountSection/DiscountDetailsDisplay.
  jsp file for editing.
  2) Locate the following code snippet in the JSP file:
  
  <wcf:rest var="calculationCodeList"
  url="/store/{storeId}/associated_promotion">
   <wcf:var name="storeId" value="${WCParam.storeId}"
  encode="true"/>
   <wcf:param name="profileName"
  value="IBM_catalogEntryDetailed"/>
   <wcf:param name="q" value="byName"/>
   <wcf:param name="qCalculationUsageId" value="-1"/>
   <wcf:param name="qCode" value="${WCParam.code}"/>
   <wcf:param name="qIncludePromotionCode" value="false"/>
  </wcf:rest>
  
  3) Update the value of the qIncludePromotionCode parameter to
  true:
  
  <wcf:rest var="calculationCodeList"
  url="/store/{storeId}/associated_promotion">
   <wcf:var name="storeId" value="${WCParam.storeId}"
  encode="true"/>
   <wcf:param name="profileName"
  value="IBM_catalogEntryDetailed"/>
   <wcf:param name="q" value="byName"/>
   <wcf:param name="qCalculationUsageId" value="-1"/>
   <wcf:param name="qCode" value="${WCParam.code}"/>
   <wcf:param name="qIncludePromotionCode" value="true"/>
  </wcf:rest>
  
  4) Save your changes and close the file.
  5) Open the
  <STORE_DIR>/mobile30/ShoppingArea/DiscountSection/DiscountDetail
  sDisplay.jsp file.
  6) Locate the following code snippet in the JSP file:
  
  <wcf:rest var="calculationCodeList"
  url="/store/{storeId}/associated_promotion">
   <wcf:var name="storeId" value="${WCParam.storeId}"
  encode="true"/>
   <wcf:param name="profileName"
  value="IBM_catalogEntryPromotionDetailed"/>
   <wcf:param name="q" value="byName"/>
   <wcf:param name="qCalculationUsageId" value="-1"/>
   <wcf:param name="qCode" value="${WCParam.code}"/>
   <wcf:param name="qIncludePromotionCode" value="false"/>
  </wcf:rest>
  
  7) Update the value of the qIncludePromotionCode parameter to
  true:
  
  <wcf:rest var="calculationCodeList"
  url="/store/{storeId}/associated_promotion">
   <wcf:var name="storeId" value="${WCParam.storeId}"
  encode="true"/>
   <wcf:param name="profileName"
  value="IBM_catalogEntryPromotionDetailed"/>
   <wcf:param name="q" value="byName"/>
   <wcf:param name="qCalculationUsageId" value="-1"/>
   <wcf:param name="qCode" value="${WCParam.code}"/>
   <wcf:param name="qIncludePromotionCode" value="true"/>
  </wcf:rest>
  
  8) Save your changes and close the file.
