ZZ00196: PROBLEM WITH USER/DOMAIN

IBM SmartCloud Orchestrator Fix Pack 1 (2.3.0.1) for 2.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Got the following setup:
  domain: default, project: admin, user: admin
  domain: DomainA, project: ProjectA, user: UserA
  domain: DomainB, project: ProjectB, user: UserB
  
  As admin, I've set one offering visible to only ProjectA (not
  ProjectB).
  
  Logging in as UserA, shows the correct category & the offering
  therein,
  UserB does not see the category nor the offering - which is OK.
  
  On the other hand, looking at the "single instance operation" &
  "multiple instances operation" categories (from OOTB
  installation), and
  I've changed all the offerings therein to "ADMIN (owner)"
  
  And both UserA and UserB are getting the (empty!) categories in
  the
  self service view yet it does not open at all (clicking does not
  react).
  
  So indeed, the offerings are not coming through, but why are
  these
  categories still visible but empty.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of SmartCloud Orchestrator 2.3 self service categories
  and have different projects granted to the contained services
  
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Some categories still keep visible for a user even if no
  offerings associated with this category is granted.
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:
  Apply SmartCloud Orchestrator 2.3 Fixpack 1 when available.
  

Problem conclusion

• The category ID is used to sort out categories
  supposed to be invisible due to no services granted.
  If some category ID is 2 and an already removed category is 22
  the algorithm fails removing this category from view.
  So the algorithm depends on the IDs in use for the
  categories registered.
  This problem is resolved using a more accurate compare
  algorithm.
