JR40484: CMVC 212469 - Prevent removal of configuration files after running resetstores.bat (feature pack part of JR40600)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• WebSphere Commerce FEP3 stores do no work correctly in the
  WebSphere Commmerce V7 Development Enviornment (toolkit) after
  running resetStores.bat and republising the store archive.
  Errors such as the following are observed in the SystemOut.log
  after publishing the store:
  
  [8/22/11 14:00:31:298 EDT] 000001b0 logging       E
  /GenericJSPPageError.jsp - No expression builder has been
  configured with the name:
  "findSEOPageDefintionByPageNameAndStoreID".
                                   javax.servlet.jsp.JspException:
  No expression builder has been configured with the name:
  "findSEOPageDefintionByPageNameAndStoreID".
  
  Example steps to reproduce the error are:
  - Install FP3 and FEP3 on WebSphere Commerce V7 Developer
  - Enable the foundation feature (or any feature that depends on
  foundation)
  - Run resetstores.bat
  
  The resetStores script removes files from the Stores.war that
  are required by the FEP3 Stores.  Trying to re-enable the
  feature/features does not resolve the issue; the feature is
  still registered as being already enabled so the
  enableFeature.bat command does not enable it again.
  

Local fix

• There are two options:
  1) Manually copying the files from
  <WC>\components\foundation\wc.ear\Stores.war\WEB-INF to
  <WC>\workspace\Stores\WebContent\WEB-INF\config will fix this
  issue
  2) Disable any features that depend on the foundation feature,
  then disable the foundation feature then re-enable the features
  that you need.
  

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  All WebSphere Commerce v7 FEP3 users who run resetstores after
  enabling one or more feature
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  Errors like "No expression builder" occur after resetStores.bat
  and republish store archives
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Cannot launch the store after store publish
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• A new action is registered in the install action registry that
  copies required files from the
  <WC_InstallDir>/components/<featureName> directories to the
  <WC_InstallDir>/workspace/Stores/WebContent directory for
  any/all features that have been previously enabled.  The
  resetstores.bat has been updated so that this new action is
  executed after it restores the base Stores project.  The result
  is that resetstores.bat now takes into account new files in the
  Stores project that were added in feature packs.
  
  The fix for this issue has two components.
  - Customers using fix pack 3 (7.0.0.3) with feature pack 3
  (FEP3) need to apply fixes for two APARs:  JR40484 and JR40600
  - Customers using fix pack 4 (7.0.0.4) and higher with feature
  pack 3 (FEP3) will need to apply the fix for one APAR:  JR40484
  - Customer using higher feature pack versions beyond FEP3 will
  not need to take any action.
