OIM KB Update — Run 2026-04-27 (13)

Goal

• Clarify what ITShopInfo='SC' means (seen in shipped triggers/procedures but not observed in live subtree rows).
• Verify whether service categories (AccProductGroup) are required for requestable product nodes in the live sandbox.

What I did

• Live sandbox DB (SELECT-only):
• Counted BaseTree IT Shop subtree nodes by ITShopInfo.
• Extracted snippets from shipped QER procedures/triggers referencing ITShopInfo='SC'.
• Counted how many ITShopInfo='PR' product nodes have AccProduct.UID_AccProductGroup set.
• Sandbox host (WinRM read-only):
• Located shipped SQL/XML references to ITShopInfo='SC' and “shopping center template”.

Findings (new/confirmed)

• ITShopInfo='SC' is “shopping center” (procedure error message + structure checks), even though this sandbox currently has no SC nodes in QER-V-ITShopOrg.
• The sandbox’s live IT Shop subtree is rooted at SH directly (no SC layer). Shipped code still supports an “SC → SH → BO” variant.
• Service categories are not mandatory for product nodes here: 7/16 PR nodes have no AccProductGroup assigned.

Evidence

• Live DB: projects/identity-management/oim-kb-update/sandbox-db/2026-04-27-itshopinfo-sc-shopping-center-db-evidence.md
• Host artifacts: projects/identity-management/oim-kb-update/sandbox-host/2026-04-27-itshop-file-hints.md

Open questions / next experiment ideas

• In this environment, under which supported UI/API operations are SC (“shopping center”) nodes created, if ever?
• Do shopping centers matter only for multi-shop setups (grouping shops), or are they also used for decision-maker derivation in typical deployments?
• Which official docs describe SC (“shopping center”) and how it relates to shop/shelf/product/customer nodes?
