JR55608: Cannot change a catalog entry's master category relationship using the Data Load utility

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you try to add a new parent master category to a catalog
  entry that has an existing parent master category, the following
   validation exception is thrown:
  Exception message: The Catalog entry <CATENTRY_NAME> - Catalog
  group <NEW_CATGROUP_NAME> relationship cannot be created,
  because the catalog entry already belongs to a catalog group
  <CURRENT_CATGROUP_NAME> in the master catalog. Remove the
  existing relationship before creating a new catalog group
  relationship for the catalog entry.
  

Local fix

• Delete existing parent master category before you load the new
  data with the Data Load utility.
  

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce Version 7 and Version 8.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  Cannot change a catalog entry's master category relationship
  using the Data Load utility
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Users cannot change a catalog entry's parent master category
  without deleting existing parent master category first.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• Added a new property "replaceParentMasterCategory" for
  com.ibm.commerce.catalog.dataload.mediator.CatalogEntryMediator
  and
  com.ibm.commerce.catalog.dataload.mediator.CatalogEntryParentCat
  alogGroupMediator.
  
  If you want to allow the Data Load utility to overwrite the
  existing parent master category of a catalog entry without
  throwing a validation error, set the property value to "true" in
   the following files:
  
  - wc-loader-catalog-entry-parent-catalog-group.xml
  - wc-loader-catalog-entry.xml
