Start with an existing asset store

You should start with an existing storefront asset store. This reduces the potential for problems and ensures that you have everything that make the own working asset store.

Procedure

1. Navigate to the following directory:

   • WC_INSTALL/starterstores/ExtendedSites

   • WCDE_INSTALL/starterstores/ExtendedSites

2. Select an existing asset store.

   The available asset stores for Extended Sites are:

   • B2BDirectStorefrontAssetStore.sar

   • ConsumerDirectStorefrontAssetStore.sar

   These stores are used as a basis for the creation of customized stores for individual WebSphere Commerce clients.

3. Copy the selected asset store, for example, ConsumerDirectStorefrontAssetStore.sar, into a working directory.

4. Extract the contents of the copied asset store archive into the working directory.

   Looking into the sar file, there are five directories:

   • META-INF

   • SAR-INF

   • StoreAssetsDir

   • tools

   • WEB-INF

   The contents of the META-INF directory need not be touched in the customization process. SAR-INF contains information about the sar file itself, such as (what the organization of the file looks like and how it is to be unpacked. The contents of this directory normally should not be affected by customization efforts.
