5.3.1 Sales catalog

We are going to take advantage of the shared catalog feature of the Extended Sites. We would like to use sales catalogs within the stores but sales catalogs do not work well with the catalog filter tool, which shows only the master catalog view. Also, the product set exclusion is made based on the master catalog view.
Sales catalog does work in an Extended Site environment. A sales catalog can be created in the catalog asset store and shared across stores' Extended Sites; however, sales catalog tooling is not enabled out-of-the-box in Extended Sites.
To enable sales catalog tooling in WebSphere Commerce Accelerator for Extended Site, if the above limitations are not an issue:

1. Verify the WebSphere Commerce and Payments servers are stopped.

2. Open each of these files in a text editor:

WC_INSTALL/xml/tools/common/CommerceAcceleratorCPS.xml
WC_INSTALL/xml/tools/common/CommerceAcceleratorBMH.xml
WC_INSTALL/xml/tools/common/CommerceAcceleratorMHS.xml

3. Search for "CatalogDesign." For example:



4. Uncomment the node for "CatalogDesign." For example:

<node name="CatalogDesign"
component="CatalogDesign "
url="/webapp/wcs/tools/servlet/NavCatCatalogListDialog?displayNumberOfProducts=true&extendedFunction=(categoryTemplate=false, masterCatalog=false, sku=false) "
users="catMgr"/>

5. Save the changes and close the files.

6. Restart the servers.
