Configuring the WebSphere Commerce messaging system

In this lesson, you create a message type for this tutorial and configure the new message type to point to the sample web service.

    1. INSERT INTO MSGTYPES (MSGTYPE_ID, MSGTDIR, NAME, VIEWNAME, DESCRIPTION) VALUES (1999, 1, 'com.mycompany.commerce.member', '', 'Member PushUser Customization');
  2. Start or restart the WebSphere Commerce Test Server.
  3. Activate the web services over HTTP transport.
    1. Open the WebSphere Commerce Admin Console and logon to the site.
    2. Select Configuration > Transports.
    3. Select Web services over HTTP.

      7. Click Finish.
  5. Add the component invocation file to the WebSphere Commerce Development server:
    1. Create the directory WC_eardir\xml\config\com.mycompany.commerce.member-ext
    2. In the com.mycompany.commerce.member-ext directory, right-click and select New > File. Name the file SDO.properties
    3. Open the file for editing. Add the following code to the file:
