SE50648: CMVC 217436 - PREVENT SALES CATALOG FROM CHANGING TO MASTER CATALOG AFTER PROMOTION REFRESH IN CATEGORY EXCLUSION TAB

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During promotion creation in the CMC UI, when a category from
  the sales catalog is targeted in the category exclusion list,
  after promotion refresh, the editor shows a master catalog
  category instead of the sales catalog category.
  
  The promotion is stored correctly in the database; only the
  promotion editor view is affected.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  All users who use sales catalog categories in a category
  exclusion list and refresh the promotion.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  When sales catalog categories are specified in the category
  exclusion list during promotion creation in the CMC UI, after
  promotion refresh, the editor shows the sales catalog category
  was replaced with a master catalog category.
  
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  This issue confuses business users when they create promotions
  which target a sales catalog category since on refresh they
  appear to be excluding a master catalog category.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• The GetCategoriesById.jsp which returns the client side category
  object was using a wrong condition to identify the catalog type
  of the category.  As a result the jsp was updated to invoke the
  correct function to  return the correct category catalog type.
