I created a new Product or Category in Products/Categories/Dispositions in Oracle B2C Service, why does it not appear in Authoring?
Environment:
Oracle B2C Service Knowledge Advanced
Issue:
An Administrator made a change to the Products/Categories/Dispositions hierarchy but it does not reflect in the Authoring.
Resolution:
The new product or category should be displayed in Authoring immediately. If it does not appear, a backup process runs every night to ensure any uncaught changes are accurately reflected in Authoring.
Cause:
Products and Categories synchronize in two ways:
1. Immediate: Handled by a Server Process Model (SPM) process that is kicked off when a change to a product or category is saved.
2. Daily: Batch job that runs overnight and synchronizes Products and Categories. This ensures nothing gets missed in the event there is a problem with the SPM process.
Notes:
For clarification regarding Product and Category visibility in Knowledge Advanced, please refer to Answer ID 10468: Product, Category and Disposition visibility settings are not respected by Knowledge Advanced
