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.
