Change properties in the order component configuration file (wc-admin-component.xml)

To change any properties in the order component configuration file (wc-admin-component.xml), create a customized version of the file in a new folder. The customized version of the file must contain only the changed properties.

Procedure

1. Open WebSphere Commerce Developer and switch to the Enterprise Explorer view.

2. Create a folder for our customized order component configuration file.

   workspace_dir\WC\xml\config\com.ibm.commerce.order-ext

   If this folder exists and contains a customized version of the wc-admin-component.xml file, or if a customized version exists elsewhere, open the customized version and skip to the next step. If the folder does not exist or contain a customized version, complete these substeps:

   1. Copy the file workspace_dir\WC\xml\config\com.ibm.commerce.order\wc-admin-component.xml to workspace_dir\WC\xml\config\com.ibm.commerce.order-ext\.

   2. Open the copied wc-admin-component.xml in an editor. This copy becomes the customized version of the wc-admin-component.xml file.

3. Change properties.

   To change properties that are not currently in the customized file, copy those properties into our customized file from the default order component configuration file.

4. Remove any properties that are not set differently from the default order component configuration file. The customized file must contain only the differences.

5. Save and close the customized file.
