Member services

Member services

Member services allow an external system, such as WebSphere Portal, to create, update and search for Members (Organizations, Users, and Member Groups) in WebSphere Commerce. The member component provides a client library and a component facade. The member services logical model is defined with customization in mind. All the major elements have a standard extension point to add additional name-value pairs.
There are two top-level nouns defined in the logical model:
Person and
Organization.
Member services use the following verbs: Get, Process, and Change. The standard extension point is _wcf:UserData.

Service Description

GetPerson This service finds a person by Unique ID or by distinguished name. This service also finds the person running the request.
ProcessPerson This service registers the person with the store.
ChangePerson This service updates the person's information, adds address information, updates address information, or deletes address information.
GetOrganization This service searches for an organization by unique ID, or by distinguished name.

The code assets are in the following locations:

Member-Client for the client code
Member-Server for the server code
