APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • If you customized the maximum facet value in WebSphere Commerce
    Version 7.0, the max_display value is reset to 20 when you
    migrate the database from WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0 to
    WebSphere Commerce Version 8.0.
    

Local fix

  • Connect to the database, and then update max_display value in
    facet table to the customized value.
    

Problem summary

  • USERS AFFECTED:
    WebSphere Commerce Version 8.0 users who migrated from WebSphere
     Commerce Version 7.0 and customized the maximum facet value.
    
    PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
    Maximum facet value reset after migrating database from
    WebSphere Commerce Version 7 to WebSphere Commerce Version 8.
    
    BUSINESS IMPACT:
    Shoppers who browse the storefront will not experience the
    customized facet values.
    
    RECOMMENDATION:
    

Problem conclusion

  • Removed the values from wcs.features_bootstrap.xml file, and
    added an insert action in wcs.data.sql file.
    
    The action will not do anything if the facet_id with max_display
      exists in the FACET table. The action only inserts an entry if
     the default facet_id is absent from the FACET table. Thus, any
    customized maximum facet value will not be reset when loading
    bootstrap data during database migration.
