Importing a contract (Enterprise)

Importing a contract or service agreement uploads a service agreement in XML format from your local client to the WebSphere Commerce Server and deploys the service agreement in WebSphere Commerce.

To import a contract:

  1. Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
  2. Select Sales > Accounts.
    The Accounts list displays. If you do not see this menu, then your logon ID does not have the appropriate authority to perform this task. Contact your Site Administrator.
  3. Select the check box to the left of the business account that you want to work with and click Contracts. A list of contracts for the account displays.
  4. Click Import. The Import Contracts dialog displays.
  5. In the XML File field, type the full path to the service agreement XML file. You can also click Browse to find the XML file using the Choose file dialog.
  6. Click Import to import the contract from your local client machine.

When the XML file uploads successfully, a business relationship will be created that respects the terms and conditions defined in the contract. In addition, a confirmation message will be displayed once the setup process is complete and the list of contracts will be refreshed showing the newly created contract.

If the status of the service agreement is Deployment Failed when the list of service agreements is refreshed, you can attempt to redeploy the contract.
