Named Search in SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0

109 Views

Dear Experts

I have a requirement of linking a named search (searches for catalog items whose product ID is not NULL) with a catalog. I'm on version MDM 7.1 SP08 (MDM components) and SRM MDM Catalog 3.0 is also on MDM 7.1 SP08.

I found the following strange behavior with catalog UI when i try to create PR-

Case 1: "User 1" is mapped to standard "catalog user" role. Added the parameter "namedsearch" in webservice call structure and entered the name of the named search i created in data manager.

Result: No filtering - catalog shows all records

Case 2: User 1 is mapped to "Catalog User 1" role (its a duplicate of the standard "Catalog User" role, where I've added the named search as constraints in the role definition). removed the named search parameter from webservice call structure.

Result: records are filtered correctly.

Now my question is - Why isnt the configuration in case 1 working? the problem with case 2 is that I have to create multiple roles for each user!

Am i missing any step?

please advice.

Thanks in advance.
