LI80576: SUBSCRIPTION LIST MISSING SUBSCRIBED PRODUCT AFTER THE "REPLACE WITH" OPERATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The list of subscriptions in the Developer Portal is missing
  subscribed product after the "Replace with" operation was
  issued.
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Published the Product A & Product B to a catalog where the
  developer portal is enabled.
  2. Create 1 application App1 from the developer portal
  3. Subscribe to Product A & Product B to App1 (plan does not
  matter in this case) to the same application
  5. Check the application in the API Manager
  Result: We can see there are 2 subscriptions
  6. Replace Product A with Product B from the API Manager
  7. Check the application App1 in the manager
  Result: We can see only one subscription left ... the one of
  the replacement product Product B
  8. Check the application App1 in the developer portal
  Result: All the previous subscriptions have disappeared
  Expect Result: We see that same information as in the API
  Manager (i.e. the subscription to Product B).
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The product 'replace', 'migrate subscription', or 'execute
  migration target' actions prevent an application subscribing to
  the same product twice.  In the rare case that an application is
  already subscribed to both the source and target products prior
  to a 'replace', 'migrate subscription', or 'execute migration
  target' operation, the subscription on the source product is
  deleted rather than migrated, and the subscription on the target
  product remains unchanged.
  
  The problem addressed by this APAR is that after the operation
  is performed, apps that were initially subscribed to both the
  source and target product no longer appear subscribed to the
  target product in the Developer Portal.  Neither the gateways or
  API Manager are affected by this issue.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is targeted for release 2018.4.3
