APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The core issue revolves around how the exclusion product set ID is automatically generated to 34 characters long using the following rules: "PE_<hexadecimal value of (current time as long - random number)>_TC_<hexadecimal value of (terms-and-conditions-id for the contract)>". When this value is trimmed down to 32 characters, the maximum length of PRODUCTSET.NAME, it is possible for two entries to have the same ID if their time stamp is the same and their terms-and-conditions-id is the same up to the last 2 characters.

Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce users on v7.0 who use catalog filtering. PROBLEM ABSTRACT: Duplicate exclusion product set IDs generated through CatalogImport utility. BUSINESS IMPACT: Low RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
Update com.ibm.commerce.productset.commands.DeployProductSetFilterTCCmd Impl, expose the method makeUpCatEntryProductSetXML(Vector catEntryIds, boolean isExclusion) and makeUpCatGroupProductSetXML(Long anCatalogId, Long catGroupId) so that custom can do customization here to make their own product set name. With this APAR the client can implement the following steps to resolve their issue: 1) Apply the APAR then perform the following customizations for the command. 2) Write a command class MyDeployProductSetFilterTCCmdImpl which extends DeployProductSetFilterTCCmdImpl. 3) Override the method makeUpCatEntryProductSetXML (can override makeUpCatGroupProductSetXML if needed). 4) Write some specific logic here to reduce the random number duplication (you can also use your own approach to do so). See PMR 70869,499,000 for sample code. 5) Update command registry table and execute below SQL to register the new customized command. insert into cmdreg values (0,'com.ibm.commerce.productset.commands.DeployProductSetFilterT CCmd',null,'com.ibm.commerce.productset.commands.MyDeployProduct SetFilterTCCmdImpl',null,null,'Local',null); 6) Update the record if there is already an existing one. 7) Restart server or update Registry in Administration Console. ------------------------------------------------------------- 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
