You should start with an existing storefront asset store.
This reduces the potential for problems and ensures that you have
everything that you need to make your own working asset store.
Procedure
- Navigate to the following directory:
- WC_installdir/starterstores/ExtendedSites
WCDE_installdir/starterstores/ExtendedSites
- Select an existing asset store.
The available
asset stores for Extended Sites are:
- B2BDirectStorefrontAssetStore.sar
- ConsumerDirectStorefrontAssetStore.sar
These stores are used as a basis for the creation of customized
stores for individual WebSphere Commerce clients.
- Copy the selected asset store, for example, ConsumerDirectStorefrontAssetStore.sar,
into a working directory.
- Extract the contents of the copied asset store archive
into the working directory.
Note: Looking into the
sar file, there are five directories:
- META-INF
- SAR-INF
- StoreAssetsDir
- tools
- WEB-INF
The contents of the META-INF directory need not be touched in
the customization process. SAR-INF contains information about the
sar file itself, such as (what the organization of the file looks
like and how it is to be unpacked. The contents of this directory
normally should not be affected by customization efforts.
