JR58887: B2B store contract id does not transform from generic user to guest user

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In a B2B store, a generic user will get a contract_id(as A).
  When the same user transforms into a guest user, a new
  contract_id will be assigned so the same user gets different
  contract_id due to the role changes.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce Version 7 and Version 8.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  B2B store contract id does not transform from generic user to
  guest user
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Broken shopping experience.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• Provide a configurable flag (KeepCurrentContractIdForGuestUser).
   When enabled, the current contract setting is continued after
  switching from generic user to guest user.
  
  After you install the fix for JR58887,
  to make the fix take effect, add the new flag in the following
  file:
  <WC_ear_dir>/xml/config/com.ibm.commerce.contract-ext/wc-admin-c
  omponent.xml (if the directory or the file does not exist,
  create them).
  For example,
  
  
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
  
  <_config:DeploymentConfiguration
  
  xmlns:_config="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/commerce/foundation
  /config"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/commerce/found
  ation/config ../xsd/wc-admin-component.xsd">
      <_config:extendedconfiguration>
          <_config:configgrouping
              name="KeepCurrentContractIdForGuestUser">
              <_config:property name="enable" value="true"/>
          </_config:configgrouping>
      </_config:extendedconfiguration>
  </_config:DeploymentConfiguration>
