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 types
WebSphere Commerce predefines several message types and sets them as active. You can change the parameters for message types.
Enabling order status notification
This message is sent to the administrator with "Recipient" listed under this Administration Console configuration. It will not send to the customer of the order. This message assumes that only the Site Administrator is interested in the order status update. WebSphere Commerce site or store developers can customize the OrderStatusNotifySendCmd command by providing another implementation to send e-mails to either the administrator, or the customer, or both.

Procedure

Open a database command window on your WebSphere Commerce machine.

Register the order status notification command by typing the following SQL statement:

update cmdreg set classname='com.ibm.commerce.messaging.commands.OrderStatusNotifySendCmdImpl'

Where:

interfacename='com.ibm.commerce.messaging.commands.OrderStatusNotifySendCmd'

Stop and start the WebSphere Commerce Server.
If necessary, add transports methods to your site or store.
