FIX: An unexpected error occurs when you use the ExprFltrQueryBldr.ConvertExprToSqlFltrStr method in Commerce Server 2002 FP1

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Commerce Server 2002 Feature Pack 1 (FP1), when you use the ExprFltrQueryBldr.ConvertExprToSqlFltrStr method to convert an expression that is in XML form to a Microsoft SQL Server filter query string, an unexpected error occurs for some XML expressions.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because of a bug in the Exprfltrbldr.dll file.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
  1. Open the Commerce Server 2002 installation folder. By default, this folder is the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Commerce Server 2002
  2. Locate the Exprfltrbldr.dll file, and then rename the file Exprfltrbldr.old.
  3. Copy the Exprfltrbldr.dll file from the \\ebizrel\qfe\cs2002fp1\1493 folder to the Commerce Server 2002 installation folder.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

The ExprFltrQueryBldr.ConvertExprToSqlFltrStr method is used to convert an expression from XML to a SQL Server filter query string. For more information, see the Commerce Server 2002 documentation.

When you replace the Exprfltrbldr.dll file, the following parsing issues are corrected:
  • The not-equal operator does not work for the string data type.

    For example, the following code example does not work.
    <CLAUSE OPER="not-equal">
    	<Property ID="UserObject.GeneralInfo.logon_name" TYPE="STRING"/>
    	<IMMED-VAL TYPE="string"><![CDATA[john]]></IMMED-VAL>
    </CLAUSE>
  • The not-begins-with operator does not work for the string data type.

    For example, the following code example does not work.
    <CLAUSE OPER="not-begins-with">
    	<Property ID="UserObject.GeneralInfo.logon_name" TYPE="STRING"/>
    	<IMMED-VAL TYPE="string"><![CDATA[s]]></IMMED-VAL>
    </CLAUSE>
  • The not-contains operator does not work for the string data type.

    For example, the following code example does not work.
    <CLAUSE OPER="not-contains">
    	<Property ID="UserObject.GeneralInfo.email_address" TYPE="STRING"/>
    	<IMMED-VAL TYPE="string"><![CDATA[ka]]></IMMED-VAL>
    </CLAUSE>
  • The not-in operator does not work for the string data type.

    For example, the following code example does not work.
    <CLAUSE OPER="not-in">
    	<Property ID="UserObject.GeneralInfo.logon_name" TYPE="STRING"/>
    	<IMMED-VAL TYPE="string" MULTIVAL="True">
    		<VALUE><![CDATA['qq','33']]></VALUE>
    	</IMMED-VAL>
    </CLAUSE>
