Error description
An e-Marketing Spot can be configured to specify an exact number of recommendations to return. This is not occurring for content recommendations when the DM_ActivityOrder flag is set to true to cause the marketing runtime to return the recommendations in the exact order specified in the activities (do not group product, category, or content recommendations together). The following steps illustrate how to reproduce the problem: 1. Create a web activity to return two content recommendations 2. In the e-Marketing Spot JSP, have the following configuration: <wcf:param name="DM_ActivityOrder" value="true" /> 3. In the page including the e-Marketing Spot, set it to return only one recommendation <c:param name="numberContentToDisplay" value="1"/> 4. Activate the activity, and view the e-Marketing Spot on the storefront. Observed results: The e-Marketing Spot will display both content recommendations. Expected results: Only the first content recommendation should display in the e-Marketing Spot.
