Problem conclusion

• This iFix made changes on Management Center OpenLaszlo files
  (both restricted and unrestricted), and on Java classes.
  Applying the iFix includes some manual steps which are
  documented in the README for both toolkit and runtime
  environments.
  
  The overall steps are:
  1. Apply the iFix on Developer environment(toolkit): be aware of
  the manual steps in the README.
  2. Deploy the updated web module LOBTools from Developer
  environment to product enviroment.
  3. Apply the iFix on Product environment: be aware of the manual
  steps in the README.
  
  To enable the ability of Management Center in handling offers,
  some minor behavior changes are inevitably introduced. So
  customers who are not ready to accept these changes should not
  install this interim fix.
  
  The changes are:
  1. A new property named "Maximum Quantity" is exposed in Offer
  Price grid, so the user can specify a value for it when creating
  or updating an offer; The property can also be left blank, which
  equates to an infinite amount.
  2. In the catalog tool of Management Center, validation that
  enforce the uniqueness of minimum quantity of all the offers of
  the same product has been removed, so customer can create
  multiple offers with the same minimum quantity.
  3. In the catalog tool of Management Center, validation of
  checking minimum quantity had been removed.
  4. In the catalog tool of Management Center, add start date and
  end date exposed to customer and provide the date format
  validation in the UI.
  This iFix has a co-requisite fix JR42122.
