About this task

Perform the following steps to update the wc-server.xml file:

Procedure

Open the file wc-server.xml in a text editor. Refer to Updating the WebSphere Commerce configuration file for more information on this file.

Locate the following text:

<component compClassName="com.ibm.commerce.event.impl.ECEventEnableComponent"
enable="true" name="OrderSubmit Event">
	<property display="false">
		<event name="OrderSubmit"/>
	</property>
</component>

Save and close the file.
