acugload utility
The acugload utility loads the XML files containing the user (access) group definitions into the appropriate databases.
Notes:
- The acugload utility only requires the input_filename parameter.
- The test server should be stopped before running the utility.
- If you create customized XML files, you need to copy them into the WC_installdir/xml/policies/xml directory to have them loaded into the databases.
- There is a setting in the loading scripts that specifies the following parameter setting while resolving ID's and loading the data to the database: -maxerror 100000. This means that if there up to 100000 foreign key violations while loading the data, they will be ignored, instead of aborting. This value can be increased or decreased as needed. For example, if you want to stop after one such error, you would change the value to 1.
- To load the access groups and access control policies, you need to run the following related
utilities in this sequence:
- acugload (loads the user access group definitions)
- acpload (loads the main access control policy)
- acpnlsload (loads the display names and descriptions)
- If you create customized XML files, you must use the full path to the DTD in your file. The access control policies DTDs are located in the WC_installdir/xml/policies/dtd directory.
- To run the utility, you must login using the non-root WebSphere Commerce user ID. The user ID must have the following permissions:
- Read/write/execute authority to the directories, subdirectories, and files of WC_installdir/xml/policies and WC_installdir/logs.
- Read/execute authority to the WC_installdir/bin
directory and its files.
If the user does not have the required authority, you need to grant this authority using the chmod command.
You must login with a profile which has the following permissions:- Read/write/execute authority to files under WC_installdir/xml/policies, WC_userdir /instances and WC_userdir /instances/ instance_name/logs.
- Read/execute authority to the WC_installdir/bin
directory and its files.
For example, define the profile with USRCLS *SECOFR.
- Check for errors in the log files. Note that errors might not appear on the command line.
- Check the acugload.log and messages.txt files in the following directory: WC_installdir/logs
-
- WC_userdir/instances/acugload.log
- WC_userdir/instances/instance_name/logs/messages.txt
- Any error files generated in WC_installdir/xml/policies/xml directory.
Parameter values
- database
- Required: Name of the database in which to load the policy.Note: For DB2 UDB databases, the DB2 Type 4 JDBC driver is used, where the Type 4 database name is prefixed with the database server and port. For example, db_server:db_port/db_name.
- database_user
- Required: Name of the database user who can connect to the database.
- database_user_password
- Required: The associated password for the database user.
- input_filename
- Required: The input policy XML file that specifies what user (access) group definitions data to load into the database.
- schema_name
- The name of target database schema. This name is normally the same as
database_user. This parameter is required if there are multiple schemas in the
database, for example if workspaces are enabled.
Important: schema_name is required for Oracle.

directory, run:

- ./acugload.sh localhost:50000/mall dbuser dbusrpwd ACUserGroups_en_US.xml
