APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Variable substitution for the data load configuration XML files
  only works for the attribute values; the value in the text area
  cannot be variable substituted. For the ContextData element, the
  value is in the text area, not in the attribute so cannot be
  substituted.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce v7.0 data load users who want to have
  variable substitution for the ContextData.

  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was enhanced to provide for variable substitution for
  the values within elements.
  
  For example, in the following configuration, the variable
  memberId can be substituted from the command line by passing,
  for example,
  -DmemberId=12345
  
  <_config:BusinessContext catalogIdentifier="Aurora" >
    <_config:ContextData
  name="memberId">${memberId}</_config:ContextData>
  </_config:BusinessContext>
