Change a defining attribute value

To change the value of your defining attribute:

  1. Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.

  2. Select Merchandise >Find Catalog Entries.

    Select Products > Find Catalog Entries.
    The Catalog Entry Search 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.

  3. Use one of the following methods to change the attribute value:

    1. Change SKU notebook

      1. Find the product containing the SKU you want to change.

      2. Select a field in the product row containing the SKU you want to change, and from the Actions menu, click Show SKUs.

      3. Select a field in the SKU row that you want to change, and from the Actions menu, click Change SKU. The Change SKU notebook opens.

      4. From the left navigation frame, click Attributes. The Attributes page displays.

      5. To change the SKU attributes, use the list for each attribute type to select a new value.

      6. Click OK to save the changes and close the notebook.

        If the changes to the catalog data do not display in the store, the Site Administrator may need to disable caching or remove the currently cached JSP pages.

    2. Product Management dynamic table:

      1. Find the product.

      2. Select a field in the product row, and from the Actions menu, click Defining Attributes. A list of available defining attributes for the product displays.

      3. Create a new defining attribute or select an existing one by selecting the check box to the left of the attribute you want to work with and click Change.

      4. In the lower half of the New or Change Attribute page, click Change Value. Change the following information, if applicable:

        • In the Value field, type a value which corresponds to your attribute value name. For example, if the name of your attribute value is color, then type the name of a color, such as yellow or red.

        • In the Image (pathname), type the full image path to the attribute value image.

      5. Click Change.

      6. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each attribute value you want to change.

      7. The New or Change Attribute page displays the updated table containing the attribute value's Reference Value in your store's default language, the Value in your selected language, the Image (pathname), and the Sequence number for each attribute value. Click OK to save the changes to the attribute value.
