Behavior

• Called by the massload utility after products have been removed from the WebSphere Commerce catalog.
• Verifies access control of the user on whose behalf the command will be run; only a person with a role of Merchant can invoke this command.
• Accepts a category ID and a list of products as input. These parameters are generated by the preceding applications, and represent all of the products that were removed from the specified category during the application's processing.
• Determines whether a search space has been defined for the specified category. To determine this, the ICROOTCAT table is queried. If there is a row corresponding to the category, then the command continues. If there is not a row for the category, then the command completes processing without performing any further actions. This condition is not considered an error.
• For each supplied product ID that is included in a search space, the command deletes the row from the search space.

Exception conditions
