Overview: Deleting previously published WebSphere Commerce content using Web Content Management

This topic provides a high level overview of the steps involved in deleting published WebSphere Commerce content using Web Content Management.Prerequisite:

Before you can delete WebSphere Commerce content using Web Content Management, have completed the following prerequisite tasks:

• Prepare IBM Workplace Web Content Management to create WebSphere Commerce content

• Modify your WebSphere Commerce JSP files to display Web Content Management content

• Create WebSphere Commerce content using Web Content Management

To delete published WebSphere Commerce content using IBM Workplace Web Content Management:

1. In WebSphere Commerce, the Workspace Administrator does the following tasks:

   1. Creates a new workspace, task groups, and tasks.

   2. Activates the new task group.

      When you activate the task group, email notification is sent to the content contributors. The notification indicates which task they have to work on, and workspace and task group details.

2. In WebSphere Commerce, the Content Contributor Selects the new content task as the workspace task to work on.

3. In IBM Workplace Web Content Management, the Content Contributor does the following tasks:

   1. Edits the content which is in published state.

   2. Updates the Workspace ID, Taskgroup ID and Task ID fields of the content with the new values.

   3. Sets the expired date to a past date and time in the workflow section for the Content.

   4. Saves the changes and moves the content to the next stage (Expired stage).

4. In WebSphere Commerce, the Content Contributor does the following tasks:

   1. Optional: Previews the store page and ensures that it will not display the Web Content Management content which is expired.

   2. Marks the workspace task as complete.

5. In WebSphere Commerce, the Workspace Task Group Approver does the following tasks:

   1. Optional: Previews the store page and ensures that it will not display the Web Content Management content which is expired.

   2. Approves or rejects the task group.

6. Once the task group is approved, the expired content will not be available in the WebSphere Commerce store.

   If the task group is rejected, Content Contributors are sent an email notification, and the content on the Web Content Management system would still be in the expired state. If the task group is cancelled, the Content Contributor must move it manually back to the published stage.
