Sample store archives (Business Edition)

WebSphere Commerce provides several sample store archives that you can use either as the basis for your own stores, or as a tool to familiarize yourself with the features and capabilities of WebSphere Commerce.

The sample store archives are divided by business model. WebSphere Commerce provides samples for the following business models:

For more information on each business model, see Business models supported by WebSphere Commerce.

WebSphere Commerce provides sample composite store archives for each business model. These composite store archives are composed of the following components:

Publishing the composite store archives (ConsumerDirect.sar, B2BDirect.sar, Hosting.sar, DemandChain.sar, SupplyChain.sar) creates the proper environment, as well as a working store or site. These store archives are available from the Default view in the Publish utility in the Administration Console.

WebSphere Commerce also provides component sample store archives for each part of the composite store archive. These component store archives are available by Business model view in the Publish utility in the Administration Console.

The following chart lists the sample store archives available with WebSphere Commerce:
