Using a promising server in a side-by-side integration

Using a Promising server for inventory in a HCL Commerce and IBM Sterling Order Management integration requires these general steps:

1. Create all inventory-related setup for the HCL Commerce storefront enterprise on the Promising server. This process includes adjustInventory, Real-time Availability Monitor setup, Global Inventory Visibility rules, monitor rules, and so on.
2. Access the HCL Commerce and point the inventory system URL to http://Inventory_server:port/smcfs/servlets/scwcsoapservlet.
3. Enable the
   • REALTIME_AVAILABILITY_CHANGE event
   • REALTIME_AVAILABILITY_CHANGE_LIST event
   on the Promising server. Enabling this event requires two actions:
   • On the Promising server, manually enable the
     • REALTIME_AVAILABILITY_CHANGE event
     • REALTIME_AVAILABILITY_CHANGE_LIST event
     and add the event handler definition.
   • On the order server, manually deactivate the
     • REALTIME_AVAILABILITY_CHANGE event.
     • (and later) REALTIME_AVAILABILITY_CHANGE_LIST event.
   Note: This is required to call the SCWC_SDF_syncInventoryChanges service on the Promising server. The activation script, which calls the SCWC_SDF_syncInventoryChanges service, is run on the order server.
