Error description

  • The inheritance between base and custom wc-search.xml files when
    it comes to sort has changed with APARs JR50972/JR52512.
    
    If these two APARs are installed, you cannot use the custom
    wc-search.xml file to override or remove any fields that are
    defined in the base wc-search.xml file. The 'sort' configuration
     only supports merging. For example,
    
    If the base wc-search.xml file has sort fields
            <_config:sort>
                <_config:field name="1" value="mfName_ntk_cs asc"/>
                <_config:field name="2" value="name_ntk asc"/>
                <_config:field name="3" value="price_* asc"/>
                <_config:field name="4" value="price_* desc"/>
            </_config:sort>
    
    and the custom wc-search.xml file has sort fields
          <_config:sort>
                <_config:field name="1" value="name_ntk asc"/>
                <_config:field name="5" value="partNumber_ntk asc"/>
            <_config:field name="6" value="partNumber_ntk desc"/>
    
        </_config:sort>
    
    The final profile sort options contain field names 1 to 6, but
    field name="1" in the custom file does not override the entry in
     the base file.
    

Local fix

  • In the JSP file, code the sort options as desired (for example,
    code the sequence and the available options).
    

Problem summary

  • USERS AFFECTED:
    WebSphere Commerce V7 Feature Pack 7 or later with JR50972 and
    JR52512 installed.
    
    PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
    Cannot override sort properties in the wc-search.xml file after
    installing JR50972 and JR52512
    
    BUSINESS IMPACT:
    Developers cannot override search profile sorting properties in
    the wc-search.xml file.
    
    RECOMMENDATION:
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix provides support to override or remove a base profile
    sort config value.
    For example, in the custom wc-search.xml file,
    1. To override base profile sort config value of field 1
    <_config:sort>
     <_config:field name="1" value="score desc"/>
    <_config:sort>
    
    2. To remove base profile sort config field 2
    <_config:sort>
     <_config:field name="2">
    <_config:sort>
