Create promotion assets
The primary method of creating promotions in a store created with WebSphere Commerce is using the Promotion wizard in the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
Promotions can also be created by using an XML file and then loaded by the Loading utilities. However, custom promotions created in this manner as well as promotions imported during migration from previous versions, will function correctly but may not display properly in the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator Promotion notebook. That is, the promotions will display in the Promotions list, and we will be able to Activate, Deactivate, and Delete them, but they may not be accessible using the Change or Duplicate action buttons.
Finally, the store may inherit promotions from an associated asset store. These promotions display in the promotions list. You can create a duplicate of an inherited promotion, but you cannot activate, deactivate, delete, modify, or view a summary of an inherited promotion.
