Error description
There are two separate issues that occur because the EXPRESSION table is not populated or not populated correctly: 1. Loading catalog filter data with the Data Load utility succeeds but the related table "EXPRESSION" is not populated if you create a catalog filter with Management Center. 2. Re-generating the EXPRESSION table causes errors and prevents users from successfully migrating from Feature Pack 1-6 to Feature Pack 8.
Local fix
Problem summary
CatalogFilterMediator Does not populate related table EXPRESSION
Problem conclusion
Here is the final official solution which apply to the three customer of yours: 1. We will ship APAR to contain three parts: The fix to the database update exception when generating catalog filter expression The fix to correct the behavior, now before re-generating the expression, we will first delete all existing ones The enhancement to make the task could be run independently and multiple times whenever customer have the needs to regenerate expression, so to dataload, or to migration, the steps are identical, no customization is needed. 2. We will publish the steps to KC regarding when and how to leverage setupSearchIndex framework to resolve such kind of issue. A new action "configWCScheduleforCatalogFilter" is created to do pre-compilation of catalog filter expression to database, this expression record will be used by search server to do entitlement. When customer who used catalog filter feature are migrating from FEP6 to FEP7+, or when customer are dataloading catalog filter, they need do the following step to regenerate catalog filter expression: Run setupSearchIndex with the new action configWCScheduleforCatalogFilter following the guide: https://knowledgecenters.hursley.ibm.com/ecd-internal/#!/SSZLC2_ 7.0.0/com.ibm.commerce.admin.doc/refs/rsdsearchindexsetup.htm Sample: setupSearchIndex -instance demo -dbtype xxx -dbuser xxx -dbuserpwd xxxxx -masterCatalogId xxxxx -action configWCScheduleforCatalogFilter
