Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a computer that is running Microsoft Commerce Server 2007 or Commerce Server 2009.
-
You perform an incremental catalog import to update the price of a catalog item in Catalog Manager. Note When the OriginalPrice field differs from the cy_list_price field, the cy_list_price field is reset to the OriginalPrice field without notification if the primary parent category of the product is changed. .
In this scenario, the value of the OriginalPrice field is not updated. Therefore, the value of the cy_list_price field does not match the value of the OriginalPrice field. For example, consider the following scenario:
-
You create a product catalog in Commerce Server site A.
-
You add a product, and then you set the price of the product to 10. The values of the cy_list_price and OriginalPrice fields are automatically set to 10.
-
You export the catalog from site A, and then you import the catalog into Commerce Server site B.
-
You change the listed price for the product to 8 in Commerce Server site A, and then you export the catalog again.
-
You perform an incremental catalog import into Commerce Server site B.
In this scenario, the value of the cy_list_price field is 8 and the value of the OriginalPrice field is 10 in site B.
Cause
This issue occurs because of an error in the Microsoft.catalogserver.dll file.
