Predefine the default store address and alias within the Management Center
A developer can predefine a store address and a store alias as options in the Management Center Store Preview dialog. This way, a business user does not have to know the address or the name of the store.
Procedure
- Open WebSphere Commerce Developer and switch to the Enterprise Explorer view.
- Expand LOBTools > WebContent > xml and locate the StorePreviewAliases.xml file.
- Within the StorePreviewAliases.xml file, add the URL for the store address and the short name alias for the store. For example:
<storeAlias name="Example Alias"> http://localhost/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ReLogonFormView?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&langId=-1 </storeAlias>
What to do next
After you complete the work:
- Test the changes by viewing them in the Management Center, using this URL: https://hostname:8000/lobtools.
- Deploy your changes to the production environment.
