Local fix
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Commerce users who are on Feature Pack 3 or higher and uses Coremetrics web analytics PROBLEM ABSTRACT: Starting with v7 Feature Pack 3, Javascript variables are not resolved when passed into the extraParam attributes in Coremetrics tags. BUSINESS IMPACT: Customers wont be able to pass Javascript variables in the extraparam attribute of the Coremetrics tags. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
All the Coremetrics tags that supports the extraparam attribute have been updated to parse Javascript variables along with the server side variables. The string literal 'jsvar:' needs to be appended in front of the Javascript variable name so that the Coremetrics tag understands that the value passed is a Javascript variable and can process it accordingly. For example, the following shows the sample usage of a Coremetrics page view tag with a Javascript variable passed: <script type="text/JavaScript"> var epValue = "value1"; </script> <cm:pageview extraparm="jsvar:epValue" /> ------------------------------------------------------------- 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
