JR48490: CMVC 232164 - Unable to display catalog filter when the filter contains a large list of exclusions/inclusions

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If customer has a large list of exclusions or inclusions defined
  for catalog filter, when the filter is viewed in CMC, it fails
  to render the list
   of exclusions or inclusions.  The call to getChildern
  eventually times out.
  

Local fix

   LOBToolsWebContentjspcommercecatalogfilterrestrictedGetCatalogF
  ilt
   erChildren.jsp:
  
   Find this part:
  
     <c:forEach var="productSetAssociation"
   items="${catalogFilter.productSetSelection}">
           <c:forEach var="catalogEntry"
   items="${productSetAssociation.productSet.catalogEntryIdentifie
  r}">
            <c:set var="uniqueIDs"
  value="${catalogEntry.uniqueID}"/>
            <jsp:directive.include file="GetProductsById.jsp" />
            </c:forEach>
      </c:forEach>
  
   Replace it with:
  
     <c:forEach var="productSetAssociation"
   items="${catalogFilter.productSetSelection}">
       <c:set var="uniqueIDs" value=""/>
           <c:forEach var="catalogEntry"
   items="${productSetAssociation.productSet.catalogEntryIdentifie
  r}">
             <c:if test="${empty uniqueIDs}">
                <c:set var="uniqueIDs"
  value="${catalogEntry.uniqueID}"/>
              </c:if>
             <c:if test="${!empty uniqueIDs}">
                <c:set var="uniqueIDs"
   value="${uniqueIDs},${catalogEntry.uniqueID}"/>
             </c:if>
            </c:forEach>
           <jsp:directive.include file="GetProductsById.jsp" />
