PM95197: [wi 93202]RAMAssetQueryBuilder API not working when sub-category is repeated

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Headline:
  When using RAMAssetQueryBuilder API and if category name is
  repeated under different category trees in the same category
  schema assets are not found.
  
  Abstract:
  Attempts to use RAMAssetQueryBuilder API to search for asset
  belonging to the same category schema, but in different branches
  were some nodes have the same name returns zero results.
  
  Error Description:
  For example you have the following categories
  
  category
      branch1
          samebranch
      branch2
          samebranch
  
  If you search for assets categorized by 'branch1/samebranch' you
  will not get any results.  If you remove 'branch2/samebranch'
  and re-run your search you will get results.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  The workaround is to build your query using a subcategory id.
  
  String subcategoryid =
  myCategory.getSubCategory('branch1/samebranch').getId();
  queryBuilder.addSearchFilter(myCategory, subcategoryid);
