JR60132: Unable to Save page layout with CatalogEntryRecommendation widget when created using Dataload

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using Websphere Commerce v9.0.0.2, created a category page
  layout with CatalogEntryRecommendation widget using dataload
  utility. After dataload, able to see the new layout page in CMC.
   Now opened the layout, went to Design layout tab, and
  associated a list of catalog entries to the
  CatalogEntryRecommendation widget. Then tried to save the layout
   change and got the following error - "The e-Marketing Spot
  cannot be found in the database".
  
  Can bypass this error by including the emsId in the
  widgetnvp.csv table, but it is not friendly to ask customer to
  query the emsId one by one for each E-MarketingSpot. We need to
  find a way to enhance this flow.
