WebSphere Commerce Developer

Taking your first steps after migrating WebSphere Commerce Developer

After you complete your migration of WebSphere Commerce Developer, do the following steps.

Procedure

  1. After migration, your Updating the WebSphere Commerce configuration file is a default WebSphere Commerce version 7 configuration file. Manually merge any customizations to your Updating the WebSphere Commerce configuration file in previous releases into your version 7 file.
  2. After migration, your WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, Administration Console, and Organization Administration Console tools are version 7 default tools. Manually merge any customizations you may have made to your WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, Administration Console, or Organization Administration Console tools in previous releases into your version 7 environment.
  3. After migration, your Stores project web.xml file is a default WebSphere Commerce version 7 file. Manually merge any customizations you may have made to this file in previous releases into your version 7 file.
  4. After migration, your workspace_dir\WC\xml\member\MemberRegistrationAttributes.xml is a default WebSphere Commerce Version 7 file. If you customized this file in a previous release, manually merge your customizations.
    In WebSphere Commerce version 6, this file was in the following directory: workspace_dir\XML\member\MemberRegistrationAttributes.xml

    If you customized this file in a previous release, you must manually merge the customizations to ensure MemberRegistrationAttributes.xml has the correct role to organization mappings before you publish stores. If you do not manually merge them, users who register do not have the correct role to organization mapping in the MBRROLE database table and are not able to log in.

  5. To use the e-Marketing Spot JSP snippet for WebSphere Commerce Accelerator on the store pages instead of the e-Marketing Spot JSP snippet for Management Center, set your marketing version to classic. See Configuring the site to use WebSphere Commerce Accelerator Marketing instead of the Management Center Marketing tool.

What to do next

Continue with the post-migration steps:
  • After migration, your WebSphere Commerce test server is a default WebSphere Commerce Version 7 test server. Reapply customization, for example:
    • Global security settings
    • Adding or changing the virtual host
    • Changing the heap size
    • JDBC Connection Pool Settings
  • Upgrade the tiles-defs.xml file to the 1.1 level:
    1. Open the Stores/WebContent/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml file.
    2. Find the line 
      <!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration//EN" 
        "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/tiles-config.dtd">
    3. Replace with this line:
      <!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 1.1//EN"
        "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd">
    4. Save and close the file.
    5. Restart the test server.
