FIX: The virtual catalog is not refreshed if impersonation is being used for the catalog Web service in Commerce Server 2002 Feature Pack 1

When you use Microsoft Commerce Server 2002 Feature Pack 1 (FP1) Catalog Manager to refresh a virtual catalog, the virtual catalog is not refreshed. Additionally, you may notice that the Status column in the Catalog Editor for the virtual catalog does not change to Up-to-date. Instead the status of the virtual catalog remains at Requires rebuilding.

This problem may occur if impersonation is being used for the catalog Web service.

Note This hotfix changes the catalog assembly so that the catalog Web service correctly uses the impersonated identity for catalog refreshes.
