• Verifies access control of the user on whose behalf the command will be run; only a person with a role of Merchant or merchandising manager can invoke this command.
• Accepts a list of products as input. This list is generated by the preceding applications, and represents all of the products that were updated during the application's processing.
• For each supplied product ID, the command determines all of the parent categories by querying the CATGPENREL table. The command executes the following logic for each parent category.
• For each parent category, the command determines if a search space exists using the ICROOTCAT table.
• For each existing search space, the command deletes each row corresponding to a supplied product ID, and re-inserts it if the publish flag has been set.
