Error description

• The Data Cache does not cache results from the
  CatalogEntryAccessBean.getCatalogEntriesByMAssocTypeAndStore
  method. Allowing caching of this method can be used to improve
  performance.  This method can be found on
  CatalogEntryAccessBean, ProductAccessBean and ItemAccessBean.
  All these Access beans use the
   RelatedCatalogEntryAccessBean to get the merchandizing
  associations.

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
   WebSphere Commerce v7.0 users needing to increase performance
  when using the getCatalogEntriesByMAssocTypeAndStore method
  
   PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
   The Data Cache does not cache results from the
  getCatalogEntriesByMAssocTypeAndStore method
  
   BUSINESS IMPACT:
   Production issue, necessary for peak.
  
   RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• A new logical data cache named
  com.ibm.commerce.catalog.beansrc.RelatedCatalogEntryCache is
  defined and by default uses the object cache with JNDI name
  services/cache/WCCatalogEntryDistributedMapCache.
  
   Custom code that uses RelatedCatalogEntryAccessBean objects
  should be changed to use the
  WCDataCache.newRelatedCatalogEntryAccessBean method to obtain
  access beans that take advantage of the new logical data cache.
  
   The getCatalogEntriesByMAssocTypeAndStore method of
  CatalogEntryAccessBean objects obtained from the
  WCDataCache.newCatalogEntryAccessBean method now returns
  RelatedCatalogEntryAccessBean beans that take advantage of the
  new logical data cache.
