Changing configuration properties for the Infrastructure component

To change configuration properties in the infrastructure component (wc-admin-component.xml) configuration file, you must create a customized version of the file in a new folder. The customized version of the file must contain the original file plus customizations.

Before you begin

To understand the properties that this file contains, see Configuration properties in the infrastructure component.

Procedure

  1. Create a com.ibm.commerce.infrastructure-ext\ folder for your customized infrastructure component configuration file at the following path:

    workspace_dir\WC\xml\config\com.ibm.commerce.infrastructure-ext\

    If this folder exists and contains a customized version of the wc-admin-component.xml file, or if a customized version exists elsewhere, open the customized version and skip to the next step. Otherwise, complete these substeps:

    1. Navigate to the default infrastructure component configuration file at the following path: workspace_dir\WC\xml\config\com.ibm.commerce.infrastructure\
    2. Copy the wc-admin-component.xml file to the new workspace_dir\WC\xml\config\com.ibm.commerce.infrastructure-ext\ folder.
    3. Open the copied wc-admin-component.xml in an editor. This copy becomes the customized version of the wc-admin-component.xml file.
  2. Change any properties as necessary for your site. Do not remove the unchanged properties from your customized file. The customized file must contain the changed and unchanged properties.
  3. Save and close the customized file.
  4. To update the changes in a development environment, start, or restart the test servers.
