Enabling DOM integration for orders

To integrate your store to use an external distributed order management System to process orders, you need to set configurations.

You can use the Administration Console to enable message transfers to and from the external order management system.
Note: The Administration Console works on Microsoft Internet Explorer 10, 11, and Microsoft Edge only when run in compatibility mode.

Procedure

  1. Open the Administration Console.
  2. On the Site/Store Selection page, select Site.
  3. Select Configuration > Message Types.
  4. Create a message type configuration to transfer orders to an external order management system.
    1. Click New.
    2. In the Message type menu, select Message for external order system.
    3. In the Transport menu, select WebServices over HTTP.
    4. In the Device format menu, select Webservices.
    5. Click Next.
    6. Submit the URL, User Name, and Password that is used to connect to the external order system.
      Enter the URL in the form, http://hostname:port/contextroot/servlets.
    7. Click Finish to save the configuration.
  5. Create a message type configuration to get orders from an external order management system.

    • To enable for all stores:
      update STORECONF set value='Y' where name='is_ext_order_system' and storeent_id=0;
    • To enable for a specific store:
      insert into STORECONF (STOREENT_ID, NAME, VALUE) values (storeId, 'is_ext_order_system','Y');
