Setting up an HCL Commerce development environment
This section describes how to set up an HCL Commerce development environment. The HCL Commerce development environment is a flexible collection of software, collectively known as HCL Commerce Developer, for developers or system administrators to develop and test stores and HCL Commerce application code.
Developer Legacy environment
In previous iterations of HCL Commerce, all site features were developed within a single development environment. This environment was built with the HCL Commerce Developer software package. With HCL Commerce Version 9.1, this environment has been renamed to the HCL Commerce Developer Legacy environment to more reflect its usage within the product. Use the HCL Commerce Developer Legacy environment to continue the development of migrated IBM Websphere Commerce Version 7 or IBM Websphere Commerce Version 8 Solr-based search and Aurora-based store solutions. You can also use the HCL Commerce Developer Legacy environment to make customizations to your Transaction server or Customization server logic, and to build your site customizations for deployment.
Enabling Marketplace
Marketplace is a new store feature introduced in HCL Commerce 9.1.10.0. Due to the fact that this feature is still early in development, and not ready for a full production setting, the early implementation of Marketplace is not enabled in HCL Commerce Developer by default. Enable Marketplace to preview its usage within your HCL Commerce Developer Legacy environment.

Procedure

If running, stop the HCL Commerce Developer Transaction server.
Create a backup of the Rest-Transaction.war file.
The file is located in the WCDE_installdir\workspace\WC\ directory.
For example, create a copy of the file and name it Rest-Transaction.war.original.
Update your Rest-Transaction.war file to enable Marketplace.
1. Extract the contents of the Rest-Transaction.war archive file.
2. Within the extracted files, navigate into the WEB-INF\config\admin\v2\ directory.
3. Copy marketplace-preview-features.properties to preview-features.properties.
4. Re-create the Rest-Transaction.war archive.
  Use zip, 7zip, or another archive utility.
  Important: Ensure that you do not accidentally create a new top level directory within the archive when re-archiving the contents. The directory structure of your created archive must match the original archive.
Start the HCL Commerce Developer Transaction server.

Results

Marketplace can now be previewed in your HCL Commerce Developer Legacy environment.
