Displaying SKUs in the Edit Catalog Entries user interface

By default, when you select a category in the sales catalog design tool and use the Edit Catalog Entries function, the SKUs are filtered out.

Procedure

  1. Go to the following directory WC_profiledir/xml/tools/common
  2. Make a copy of resources.xml in a separate directory.
  3. Make a copy of the CommerceAccelerator.xml file from the directory relevant to the business model you are using, in a separate directory.
    Note: Do not modify the original copy. For more information, see XML configuration directory.
  4. Open the temporary copy of the CommerceAccelerator.xml file in a text editor.
  5. Locate the following section: 
    
<node name="CatalogDesign"
component="CatalogDesign" 
url="/webapp/wcs/tools/servlet/NavCatCatalogListDialog?displayNumberOfProducts=true
        &amp;extendedFunction=(categoryTemplate=false,
masterCatalog=false, sku=false)" 
users="catMgr makMgr podMgr seller"/>

    Edit the code as shown in the following example.

    
<node name="CatalogDesign"
component="CatalogDesign" 
url="/webapp/wcs/tools/servlet/NavCatCatalogListDialog?displayNumberOfProducts=true
        &amp;extendedFunction=(categoryTemplate=false,
masterCatalog=true, sku=true)" 
users="catMgr makMgr podMgr seller"/>
  6. Save your changes.
  7. Update the copy of resources.xml to point to your customized copy of the CommerceAccelerator.xml file.
  8. Update WebSphere Commerce with the updated files. For more information, see the Updating enterprise application files topic. Ensure that you follow the instructions for updating as a partial application.
    You need the following information:
    • Enterprise application name

    • Relative path to file

      xml/tools/common/ original_file_name

  9. Restart the WebSphere Commerce Server.
