Error description
If a customer segment is used in a promotion, the promotion logic will get all segment information of the shopper and check against the defined segment in the promotion rule. This results in an evaluation for all segments instead of evaluating only the specific customer segment defined in the promotion.

Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce users on v7.0 who use promotions with customer segment PROBLEM ABSTRACT: Performance issue when evaluating promotion with customer segment conditions BUSINESS IMPACT: Performance impact of a checkout flow when promotion with customer segment is used. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
The fix delivered by this APAR is to enhance promotion evaluation performance by changing customer segment validation logic. Previously, if a customer segment is used in a promotion, the promotion logic retrieves all segment information for the shopper and checks against the segment specified in promotion rule. This resulted in more segments being checked than was necessary. The updated logic will only check the segments that are defined in the promotion rule. ------------------------------------------------------------- The latest available maintenance information can be obtained from the Recommended Fixes for WebSphere Commerce technote: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3046&uid=swg21261296
