Publishing a store archive

Publishing a store archive to a WebSphere Commerce Server allows you to create a running store. You have two options for publishing a store archive: Publishing a store archive using the Publish wizard, Publishing a store archive using the publishstore utility.

Important:

Do not publish a store archive and load catalog data at the same time. Before publishing a store archive, ensure that no catalog-upload job is running.
In a clustered environment, make sure that commerce instances on all nodes are running.
You should publish your starter store after you install the new feature pack level and enable the store-enhancements feature. This ensures you get the latest starter store code base that utilizes all the new APIs that have been added in the feature packs.
If your previous environment used Websphere Commerce Solr search, and you want to publish a new store model after enabling features, you must migrate the Websphere Commerce search server before you can publish the new store.
