Importing a distributor service agreement (Enterprise)
Importing a distributor service agreement uploads a distributor service agreement in XML format from your local client to the WebSphere Commerce Server and deploys the service agreement in WebSphere Commerce. Note that if you import a contract through XML, and want to have that contract appear in the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, then have a contract description. To import a distributor service agreement:
- Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
- From the Channel menu, click Distributors.
The Distributors page 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.- Click New. The import dialog displays.
- In the XML File field, type the full path to the distributor service agreement XML file. You can also click Browse to find the XML file using the Choose file dialog.
- Click Import to import the distributor service agreement from your local client machine.
- If you have more than one XML file to import (for example, you can have XML files containing language-specific information), then repeats the preceding steps to import each XML file separately.
When the XML file uploads successfully, a distributor relationship will be created that respects the terms and conditions defined in the distributor service agreement. In addition, a confirmation message will be displayed once the setup process is complete and the list of distributors will be refreshed showing the newly created distributor.
If the status of the distributor service agreement is Deployment Failed when the list of distributors is refreshed, you can attempt to redeploy the distributor service agreement.
