JR55148: 'Tag' and 'ex' tags do not work if tagging fields in the extension indexes

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you add 'tag' or 'ex' tags to a fq/facet pair for a field in
  the inventory index, for example:
  
  http://hostname:port/solr/MC_<MC
  ID>_CatalogEntry_en_US/select?q=*:*&facet=true&facet.field={!ex=
  test}inv_strlocqty_10051_10238&fq={!tag=test}inv_strlocqty_10051
  _1028:50
  
  the tag/ex tags should ensure that the facet remains unaffected
  by the filter query. However, this behavior does not work for
  fields in the extension index.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce users on Version 7 Feature Pack 8.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  'Tag' and 'ex' tags do not work if tagging fields in the
  extension indexes
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Out of stock inventory could be returned.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• Tagging and exclusion is now handled in the Search extension
  runtime.
  
  Note: Tag/exclusion will not work in multiple cores. If a query
  has a tag/exclusion against a field in the inventory index, for
  example, it must not contain a tag/exclusion against a field in
  the CatalogEntry index.
