Symptoms

In Oracle Retail Back Office (ORBO), while importing an Item Export file, UPC Delete does not remove data from the AS_ITM_META_TAG table.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Import an ItemExport file similar to the below example into Back Office through data import (DIMP).

<Item
ChangeType="UPS"
ID="000009912"
Type="Stock"
ItemCost="19.65"
Taxable="true"
POSDepartmentID="100"
Size=""
Color=""
RegistryEligible="true"
SizeRequired="false"
AuthorizedForSale="true"
SerializedItem="false"
Discountable="true"
DamageDiscountable="true"
UOMCode="UN"
Classification10="null"
Classification9="12.7 FZ">

<LongDescription>Long Description
</LongDescription>
<MerchandiseHierarchy>5:010017001701</MerchandiseHierarchy>
<RetailStoreItem

</RetailStoreItem>
</Item>


2. Import ItemExport that contains UPC Delete, similar to the below:

<Item
ChangeType="UPS"
ID="000009912"
Type="Stock"
ItemCost="19.65"
Taxable="true"
POSDepartmentID="100"
Size=""
Color=""
RegistryEligible="true"
SizeRequired="false"
AuthorizedForSale="true"
SerializedItem="false"
Discountable="true"
DamageDiscountable="true"
UOMCode="UN"
Classification10="null"
Classification9="12.7 FZ">
<ShortName>Short Name</ShortName>
<LongDescription>Long Description
</LongDescription>
<MerchandiseHierarchy>5:010017001701</MerchandiseHierarchy>
<RetailStoreItem
ChangeType="UPD">
<RetailStoreID>04241</RetailStoreID>
<POSIdentity ChangeType="DEL" POSItemID="0812066020547"/>
</RetailStoreItem>
</Item>


3. Check AS_ITM_META_TAG and ID_IDN_PS tables.

4. Note that ID_IDN_PS has 0 rows, but AS_ITM_META_TAG still contains all 8 rows for item 000009912.

The UPC for Item 000009912 (0812066020547) is not removed from AS_ITM_META_TAG after processing UPC Delete extract.
