JR53928: Store functions API does not return value set by business user

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Parts of the store that depend on store functions might lead to
  an unexpected page.
  
  The following exception is seen in the trace:
  CWXFD3134E: Execution of get request failed. CWXFS0010E: Failed
  to execute search request because the current store does not
  have a valid search configuration.

  With foundation tracing enabled, you might see that
  isSearchEnabled() set to false before the error, even though
  search feature is enabled:

Local fix

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce V7 customers using store functions
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  Store functions API does not return value set by business user
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Shoppers encounter unexpected store behavior such as being
  redirected to error pages.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• The store function (flex flow) API now explicitly passes the
  store context to the Marketing API to find out whether a
  particular store function is enabled or disabled.
  
  This way there will never be NULL store context.
  

Temporary fix
