Deleting a category

To delete a category, do the following:

  1. Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
  2. Business to consumer From the Merchandise menu, click Categories.
    Business to business From the Products menu, click Categories.
    A category tree for the catalog displays. If you do not see this menu, then your logon ID does not have the appropriate authority to perform this task. Contact your Site Administrator.
  3. Highlight the category that you want to delete and click Delete.
  4. The category is removed from the catalog.

Restriction: In a hosting scenario, if manufacturers attempt to delete a category which contains reseller subcategories or products, then the category cannot be deleted since it still contains catalog assets. As reseller subcategories and products are only visible to the reseller, manufacturers may not realize that the category to be deleted is not empty. As a resolution, manufacturers should broadcast a message to all resellers, informing them of the upcoming category deletion and requesting that any catalog assets be moved out of this category.
