    About this task

    In the Washington DC release, the Code field was added for the main product catalog entities. If the Code field values for these catalog entities are empty after upgrading to the Washington DC release, run both a fix script and an on-demand scheduled job to add the Code field values for the main product catalog entities.

    The fix script adds the Code field values for characteristic options. The scheduled job adds the Code field values for product offerings, product offering catalog, and product, service, and resource specifications.

    Procedure

    1. On the source instance, navigate to All > System Definition > Fix Scripts.
    2. Select the Populate Code Field and select Run Fix Script.
      The system runs the script, which adds the Code field value to characteristic options.
    3. Navigate to All > System Definition > Scheduled Jobs.
    4. Select the Schedule job to populate code field on master entities job.
    5. Verify that the Run field is set to On Demand and select Execute now.
      The system runs the job, which adds the Code field value for product offerings, product offering catalog, product offering categories, and product, service, and resource specifications.
    6. Select the Schedule Job with upgrade script to populate code job.
    7. Verify that the Run field is set to On Demand and select Execute now.
      The system runs the job, which adds the Code field value to the Product Catalog Management Core.
    8. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 on the target instance.

    Your product catalog admin can export product catalog entities from the source instance and import them to the target instance.
