PK72350: ADD OPTION TO REMOVE DUPLICATE RESULTS FROM MENUS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Menu results may contain several results that represent the same
  piece of content. For example, several content links to the same
  content may appear in the results for a single menu. It may be
  desirable to filter these duplicate results, to leave only one.
  This fix introduces a new request parameter,
  allowDuplicateResults, which can be used to define whether the
  menu will display duplicate results.

Problem summary

• Summary: Menu results are not unique
  Menu results may include multiple results representing the same
  piece of content as the results can include any number of
  content and content links.
  

Problem conclusion

• This fix introduces a new configuration property to define
  whether menus should allow duplicate results. If the property is
  set to false, duplicates will be filtered from the menu results
  prior to rendering.
  The property can be set either at a global level or a
  per-request level:
   - To configure the global setting (for all menus), set the
  following in WCMConfigService.properties:
         menu.allowDuplicateResults=false
     Valid values are true or false.
   - To override the global setting, add a request parameter to
  the request that renders the menu:
         allowDuplicateResults=false
     Valid values are true or false.
  
  Limitation - Duplicate results will only be filtered when the
  menu cache is active. If duplicate results appear in menus even
  though the allowDuplicateResults property has been set to false,
  increase the value of the menu.cache.max.items property in
  WCMConfigService.properties to ensure the menu cached it being
  utilized.
