If I understand you correctly, you're missing the
point of putting a category in the role of
PCCT_PURCH_ALLW to a catalog.
Your PCCT_PURCH_ALLW category should not be a category
that your customers would see the members of. It is a
seperate, external category.
For instance with the demo catalog you have the
following category structure
CATALOG1 is Browse Root for DemoCatalog
CATALOG1 is parent to PC-100, GC-100, 200, and 100
If you wanted to utilize the PCT_PURCH_ALLW
ProductCatalogCategoryType, you would create a
category "RESTRICTED" that is not a child (and most
likely not rolled up to any category)
to CATALOG1 and put all of your products in
RESTRICTED.
For instance product GZ-1000 (Tiny Gizmo) is a member
of the product category 100 (Gizmos). To utilize this
restricted functionality, you would make GZ-1000 a
member of your new RESTRICTED category as well. Now
GZ-1000 is a member of 2 categories (technically 5
categories as the demo data sets this product up in
category 100, category 101, CATALOG1_SEARCH, and
TSTCSL)
