Error description
For new WebSphere Commerce V8 environments (that were not migrated from V7), you might encounter propagation errors when you run the stagingprop utility. In V8, WebSphere Commerce's instance creation splits the keys for the access control policy tables based on the type of instance: -For staging instances, the generated keys are in the middle and upper range -For production instances, the generated keys are in the lower range This key splitting causes the same bootstrap access control policy data to have different primary keys in the staging instance and in the production instance. During store publish, new access control policy data is created but the store's access control policies have references to the bootstrap access control policies from instance creation. When the stagingprop utility is run, it fails in propagating the store's access control policy data because it is a direct copy of data. However, the store's access control policies are pointing to the parent bootstrap access control policies which have different primary keys in production than in staging.
Local fix
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Commerce Version 8 environments that are not migrated from Version 7, and have instances that were created on 8.0.0.8 or earlier. PROBLEM ABSTRACT: Stagingprop utility fails to propagate the access control policy data of a newly published store into production database BUSINESS IMPACT: Cannot deploy a published store successfully from a staging environment to the production environment. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
Updated code to ensure that instance creation does not split the keys for access control policy tables. The propagation exception errors will not occur for new instances that are created after you apply 8.0.0.9 or later, or 8.0.1.1 or later. For users who created staging instances on Fix Pack 8 and earlier, you need to replace the access control policy data that is on your production instance.
