JR47295 - WebSphere Commerce Search cumulative Interim Fix in V7.0 Fix Pack 6
WebSphere Commerce Interim Fix 2497-Fix the problem to merge an order to another existing pending order during shopper sign in

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Function list:
  1. One order item can reserve inventory from multiple
  fulfillment centers, sterling supports this feature, in FEP5, we
  do not implement it in WebSphere Commerce side. In this APAR,
  WebSphere Commerce will support it.
   2. As the front end system, when the shopper shops as a guest
  shopper, submits payment, completes order, then registers and
  logs on in the same session, WebSphere Commerce would merge the
  order to the registered shopper. And now, we need WebSphere
  Commerce to notify Sterling OMS the user of the order changed,
  so that the registered shopper can view the order info in
  history order section.  Without this APAR, after guest shopper
  log on, he/she will not be able to view his/her placed orders as
  guest.
  3. Improvement on Performance
  (1) To solve the deadlock issue:  As the solution developer, I
  need to sort the catalog entries of a shopping cart when we call
  multiAPI of monitorItemAvailability for inventory check of a
  shopping cart, and when call multiAPI for cancel inventory
  reservation. This is to reduce the possibility of deadlock.
  (2) To improve findInventory performance: When call Sterling
  findInventory API, now will call a findInventory API for each
  item. In this APAR, this is enhanced to include all of the items
  in one findInventory call.
  

Local fix

• Do not configure order item multiple fulfillment center support
  in sterling side
