Administering
Overview of administering a WebSphere Commerce site
In WebSphere Commerce the person who performs administrative tasks is called a Site Administrator. The Site Administrator installs, configures, and maintains WebSphere Commerce and the associated software and hardware. The administrator responds to system warnings, alerts, and errors, and diagnoses and resolves system problems. Typically, this person controls access and authorization (creating and assigning members to the appropriate role), manages the Web site, monitors performance, and manages load balancing tasks. The Site Administrator might be responsible for establishing and maintaining several server configurations for different stages of development such as testing, staging, and production. The Site Administrator also handles critical system backups and resolves performance problems.
Administration Console
Site Administrators use the Administration Console to control a site or store by completing administrative operations and configuration tasks such as publishing stores, refreshing the registry, and scheduling jobs. You can access the Administration Console at a site-level, or for a particular store.
Message resend
Site Administrators can use the resend function in WebSphere Commerce to resend messages that are stored in the WebSphere Commerce system.

Message resend

Site Administrators can use the resend function in WebSphere Commerce to resend messages that are stored in the WebSphere Commerce system.

There are two conditions in which messages can be resent:

WebSphere Commerce fails to deliver a message and the message remains in the messaging system. The message may have failed to be resent for a number of reasons. Typically these failures occur when a remote server is down for extended periods of time, or configuration has been setup incorrectly. At the time of resending the message, the Site Administrator can modify configuration parameters for the specified message.
WebSphere Commerce can optionally archive messages after they are successfully sent. These messages are also candidates for being resent. Messages are archived based how the message type is configured. For each message type, the Site Administrator can choose to whether to archive the sent message.
