IJ47735: IN OFFERING, WHERE ACCESSING MBOSET IN ADDTOCARTSCRIPT TO CHECK SOME THINGS, IF THE ACCESSED MBOSET HAS AN OBJECT-INIT SCRIPT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM:  In offering, where  accessing  MboSet in
  ADDTOCARTSCRIPT to check some things, If the accessed MboSet has
  an Object-Init Script, the error from my ADDTOCARTSCRIPT is not
  shown.
  
  
  PERFORMANCE ISSUE:  No
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1. Create a new Script (no launchpoint) CXADDTOCART2. Put this
  as content:----
  from psdi.server import MXServer
  mxServer = MXServer.getMXServer()
  srSet = mxServer.getMboSet("SR",mxServer.getSystemUserInfo())
  sr = srSet.getMbo(0)
  if sr:
     pass
  srSet.close()
  print "0"
  print "Any Error"
  ----
  3. Create a new offering CXADDTOCARTTEST, assign a
  classification, add it to a catalog you can access and select
  CXADDTOCART as Add To Cart Script. Activate the offering
  4. Go to Self-Service-Center, open the offering and send it. It
  shows (absolutely correct) "Any Error". This is the expected
  behaviour.
  5. Create a new Script CXSRINIT with object launchpoint on SR
  init. This should have this content:
  ----
  pass
  ----
  (yes, just pass, this script does nothing)
  6. Go to Self-Service-Center, open the offering and send it. No
  error message is shown and the offering can be used normally.
  This should not happen as the script should still throw an
  error.
  
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT: After replicating the issue, when we
  go to Self-Service-Center, open the offering and send it. No
  error message is shown and the offering can be used normally.
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:  No error message is shown while submitting
  the orrering. This should not happen as the script should still
  throw an error.
  ADDITIONAL INFO:  N/A, Issue wa recreated in LAB VM
