JR60672: Default configurations stored in project reserved for custom code (search-config-ext).

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Search-config-ext is a project for storing extension/overriding
  configurations in files like x-schema.xml, depending on how you
  want to modify the default configurations.
  
  However, we also keep some default configurations inside these
  files in search-config-ext project, which means that we have
  dependencies that could be lost if user isn't tracking changes
  that are being made. In general, we should avoid including any
  default configurations inside of these extension files so that
  only customizations are included and version controlled for
  extension projects like this.
  

Local fix

• Put search-config-ext into source repository and inject the
  content into CI/CD pipeline to build the customized docker
  container.
  

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce V9 customization developers
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  Default configurations stored in project reserved for custom
  code (search-config-ext).
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Customization developers who didn't put search-config-ext
  project into source repository might not be able start search
  server properly.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• Copy those config into fallback section of the corresponding XML
   in search-config.jar.
  

Temporary fix
