JR54177: Promotions modified in the Promotion Tool main list cannot be activated if they have public codes.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After applying APAR JR48519, editing and saving a promotion in
  list view without opening the promotion will remove all the
  associated promotion codes for that promotion.
  
  When trying to activate the promotion, the business user might
  encounter the following error message if the promotion uses
  public promotion codes:
  
  ERROR: Specify a promotion code in the Promotion codes table and
   then save the promotion.
  

Local fix

• The business user can open the promotion from the promotion list
   view, edit the promotion, and click save.  The promotion can
  now be activated from within the editor view or the main list
  view.
  

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce V7 FEP5 or later users who edit and save
  promotions with public codes from within the main list view in
  the Commerce Management Center Promotion Tool and have APAR
  JR48519 installed.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  Promotions modified in the Promotion Tool main list cannot be
  activated if they have public codes.
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Business users will not be able to activate promotions with
  public codes if the promotions were edited within the promotion
  list view.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• The APAR JR48519 was introduced to eliminate the loading of
  public promotion codes when they are not needed, such as for the
   main promotion list view.  However, in order to save modified
  promotions with public codes, the codes must first be retrieved.
  
  The logic was modified to first retrieve the public codes for
  those promotions that have been modified from within the main
  list view, prior to saving those promotions.
