Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: Any customer who is trying to preview future promotion using preview functionality PROBLEM ABSTRACT: When previewing promotion set for future date, the preview still displays the current promotion. BUSINESS IMPACT: Unable to preview future promotion RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
This problem is caused by a defect in the default implementation of PreviewContext on how it handles the static flag (this flag controls whether the preview time should elapse). Due to this defect, a preview URL generated when the preview time is set to not elapsing will not be able to set the preview time correctly. This fix will make sure that this particular scenario is handled properly. ------------------------------------------------------------- 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
