SMS: Advertisements Are Received by Clients Outside of Targeted Collection (249331)

SYMPTOMS

Advertisements targeted at Secondary Site Client Collections are not modified to reflect the deltas in the target collection. Therefore, advertisements may still be available to clients that you have removed from the intended target collection.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because Secondary Site Collection Evaluator does not correctly handle a collection member delta. This prevents Offer Manager on the Secondary Site from finding out a collection member has been removed from a collection.
