WebSphere Commerce Enterprise

Adding a term to a contract or account

Adding a term to a contract in draft state is straightforward. The term types that are defined in the TCConfigurationExt.xml file and the TCSUBTYPE table. The term types are loaded to TCMappingRegistry. You can open the contract and enter the values for the term properties. After the values are validated according to the data type of the TERMCOND table column to which they are mapped, the values are saved to the TERMCOND table. The number of properties for a term is limited by the columns of the TERMCOND table. If more properties are required, you must either change the table schema to add more columns (not recommended), or create an extra term to contain the properties.
