Importing a distributor service agreement uploads a distributor
service agreement in XML format from your local client to the WebSphere
Commerce Server and deploys the service agreement in WebSphere Commerce.
Note that if you import a contract by using XML, and want to have
that contract appear in the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, then you
must have a contract description.
Procedure
- Open the
WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
- Click .
The Distributors page 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.
- Click New. The import dialog displays.
- In the XML File field, type the
full path to the distributor service agreement XML file. You can also
click Browse to find the XML file using the
Choose file dialog.
- Click Import to import the distributor
service agreement from your local client machine.
- If you have more than one XML file to import (for example,
you can have XML files containing language-specific information),
then repeats the preceding steps to import each XML file separately.
Results
When the XML file uploads successfully, a distributor relationship
will be created that respects the terms and conditions defined in
the distributor service agreement. In addition, a confirmation message
will be displayed once the setup process is complete and the list
of distributors will be refreshed showing the newly created distributor. If
the status of the distributor service agreement is Deployment Failed
when the list of distributors is refreshed, you can attempt to redeploy
the distributor service agreement.
