Task flow: Redirecting legacy URLs to SEO-friendly URLs

You can customize the web application layer in HCL Commerce to automatically redirect legacy URLs to SEO-friendly URLs, while you preserve the search engine rankings. A 301 redirect occurs when a shopper tries to access a product by using the old URL. When a search engine tries to reindex an old URL, the 301 status alerts the search engine to index the new URL instead.

After you complete this task flow, the system will automatically forward URLs, such as:
/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10501&storeId=11201&productId=14203&langId=-1&top_category=10529&parent_category_rn=10530
or
/Product2_11201_10501_14203_-1_10529_10530_10530_ProductDisplayErrorView 
to be SEO-friendly URLs, such as:
/en/madisons/polkadotshirt
