Package custom database assets

There is no standard packaging format for database assets. If we make database changes and move the assets from one system to another during the overall deployment process, use an archiving utility that is supported by your operating system such as TAR, ZIP, or JAR archiving utility.

Task info

The assets required for database changes can include:

• SQL files

• Loader utility XML files

• Access control XML files

• Command scripts

The recommended directory structure to build for this package would be:

Type of file	Directory structure
Access control policy files	WC_installdir/xml/policies/xml
SQL files	WC_installdir/sql for SQL files
Loader utility files	WC_installdir/xml for Loader utility files

Do not replace any WebSphere Commerce-provided files within these directories.
