Propagating Rule-based discount data from a staging server to the
production server
- You must configure the staging server so that it stages rule-based discount
data. Refer to the "Configuring the staging server for customized
tables" section of the WebSphere Commerce
Administration Guide. Follow the steps explaining how to stage
merchant data, using the information below, which is specific to rule-based
discount data. You must configure the following tables on your staging server
for rule-based discounts:
- CALCODE
- This table contains the ID and basic information about the rule-based
promotion object.
- RLDISCOUNT
- The table contains information about the details of the rule-based
promotion object.
- CALCODEDSC
- The table contains translated customer viewable descriptions for the
rule-based promotion object.
- CALCODEMGP
- The table contains relationship definitions between rule-based promotion
objects and customer profiles.
- CATENCALCD
- The table contains relationship definitions between rule-based promotion
objects and products.
- SHPMODCLCD
- The table contains relationship definitions between rule-based promotion
objects and shipping methods.
- After this propagation, the instance running on the production server must
be restarted.
- A business user must activate the rule-based discounts once again, using
the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator associated with the production machine. Once
the discounts are active on the production server, the rule project will be
regenerated for the current store.
