Setting up the Extended Sites environment

You can then schedule site-level jobs, configure e-Mail notifications, load your Extended Site catalog data, and modify your Extended Site and asset store archive flows to share and deploy the assets for your Extended Sites.

Enabling inventory tracking for Extended Sites

Reseller stores, supplier stores, and extended sites are created with the Availability To Promise (ATP) feature enabled but with inventory tracking disabled by default.

About this task

To enable inventory tracking for all Extended Sites that will be created using the Store Creation wizard:

Open the following file in a text editor: WC_installdir/xml/trading/xml/TemplateHostingContract.xml
Locate the FulfillmentCenter element.
Change the value of its inventoryopflags attribute from 14 to 0.
Save the file.

To enable inventory tracking for a supplier store, reseller store, or extended site store that will be imported using an XML file from the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator:

Open the XML file that defines the store in a text editor.
Locate the FulfillmentCenter element.
Change the value of its inventoryopflags attribute from 14 to 0.
Save the file.

Note: If the XML file does not contain a FulfillmentCenter element, no changes are necessary.

To enable inventory tracking for an supplier store, reseller store, or extended site store that has already been created:

Execute the following SQL statement:


UPDATE ffmcenter SET inventoryopflags='0' WHERE name ='
name_of_store_fulfillment_center'

Repeat step 1 for all the fulfillment centers of the store.
