What to do next

Store data:

Or, if you indicated withSample=sampleData when you loaded the HCL Commerce Developer database schema, you can use the Aurora starter store sample data as a development base.

Cache invalidation:

After publishing your store, if cache invalidation function is enabled, the new published store can be browsed directly without restarting server by completing the following flow: After the remoteStoreDataload scheduler is completed, wait for the predefined DynaCacheInvalidation schedule to be completed. Then, update the registry from the Administration Console.
