IBM Gift Center for Madisons: Publishing the sample add-on store archive

The GiftCenterMadisons.sar file is the store archive that adds the Gift Center sample pages to the Madisons starter store. Use the Publish wizard in the Administration Console to publish this store archive on top of the Madisons starter store.


Before you begin

You must publish the Madisons.sar store archive after you install WebSphere Commerce v7.0 fix pack 1 or later. When you install the fix pack, a new version of the Madisons.sar store archive installs on the machine. This store archive contains the latest Madisons fixes plus necessary extension points for the GiftCenterMadisons.sar store archive. The GiftCenterMadisons.sar store archive will not work properly with earlier versions of the Madisons starter store. For instructions about publishing a store archive, see Publish a store archive using the Publish wizard.
