Error description

  • When viewing the attachment details for a product in the
    WebSphere Commerce storefront, the descriptions are not always
    displayed.  This happens if the Versioning feature is enabled
    and an attachment's description is modified after its initial
    entry.  The attachment is available but the description is not.

Problem summary

  • USERS AFFECTED:
    
    WebSphere Commerce users on V7 FEP3 who are using the
    attachments functionality in management center along with the
    versioning feature and displaying attachment descriptions in
    their store.
    
    PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
    Attachment descriptions are not always displayed in the
    storefront's product details attachments tab.
    
    BUSINESS IMPACT:
    The attachment is displayed correctly but the description of the
    attachment is missing.  If the name of the attachment is not
    intuitive, then the shopper does not know what the attachment
    represents.  They will need to open it to find out.
    
    RECOMMENDATION:
    

Problem conclusion

  • The catalog entry attachment reference relation was not being
    persisted in atchreldsc table after the initial version was
    created.  Updates to the description were not being saved
    properly, so did not appear in the storefront.
    
    Management Center code was modified to correctly update the
    atchreldsc table.
