JR58705: Duplicate SEOURLKEYWORD in Management Center are inconsistent with seourlkeywordgen

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The SEOURLKEYWORDs that are generated by Management Center do
  not use the same format as the seourlkeywordgen utility when
  duplicates are encountered.
  
  For example, category.xml has the following configuration by
  default:
      <parameter    generatorId="paramCatGroupKeyword"
  subClass="EnvParameterGenerator"    default="NAME"    />
      <parameter    generatorId="paramCatGroupKwd2"
  subClass="EnvParameterGenerator"
  default="NAME+CATGROUP_ID+LANGUAGE_ID" />
  
  With this configuration, if a duplicate is encountered, the
  keyword will be NAME+CATGROUP_ID+LANGUAGE_ID e.g.
  apparel-10001-1 when you run seourlkeywordgen.
  
  However, if the duplicate is created through Management Center,
  the keyword generated for the duplicate would look like
  apparel--1 instead of apparel-10001-1
  
  
  The Management Center tooling logic uses the pattern
  "name-languageId" to generate the backup keyword for duplicate
  categories. This pattern can only handle 2 duplications. If
  there were 3 or more categories with the same name, the other
  categories cannot generate SEOURL keywords successfully because
  "name-languageId" are still duplicated.
