Changing store flows

To configure a store to support certain features, do the following:

Important: Currently the following features are the only features available for configuration:

These features are only available for configuration in stores that are based on the consumer direct or B2B direct sample stores.

  1. (Optional) Create copies of the JSP files of the store that you are about to configure. The JSP files are located in the following directory:

    WAS_installdir/installedApps/WC_Enterprise_App_instance_name.ear/wcstores.war/ storedir

    Creating copies of your JSP files allows you to undo any changes in a store, that you may apply permanently in step 8.
  2. Open WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
  3. From the Stores menu, select Change Flow.
  4. From the left navigation frame, select the feature you want to configure.
  5. If you want to enable the feature in the store, select the appropriate field (for example, a check box or radio button). If you want to disable the feature in the store, ensure that the appropriate field is deselected.

    Note: In order to to use the Business Edition only Collaborative Workspaces and Customer Care features in your store, you must install QuickPlace (Business Edition only Collaborative Workspaces) and Sametime (Customer Care). For more information, see the WebSphere Commerce Additional Software Guide.

  6. Select Apply or Apply Permanently to apply the changes. Selecting Apply allows you to view the changes in the current store, but your choice can be reversed later. If you choose Apply Permanently you will not be able to reverse your choice. For more information on how changes are applied, see Configuring store flows using WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
  7. Click Launch Store to view the changes in your store. If you do not see the changes, refresh your browser.
  8. When you have finished configuring the store, enable caching. For more information, see the WebSphere Commerce Administration Guide, chapter " Dynamic caching."
