6320ch_before_migration.fm Draft Document for Review July 28, 2004 7:33 pm
194 Keeping Commerce Applications Updated WebSphere Commerce 5.1 to 5.6 Migration Guide
introduced in WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.4. The master catalog rule is
enforced and therefore will need to be added during the migration. The Product
Management Tool only work with the master catalog.
The structural restrictions for a master catalog are:
The master catalog must be a proper tree with no cycles
e.g The parent category A has a subcategory B. Subcategory B and any of
B’s subcategories must not have A as their child.
A product cannot belong to more than one category
All items under a product must belong to same category as the product
belongs to
If the restrictions are not suitable for your catalog then sales catalog(s) can be
created for navigational purposes. Sales catalogs have no structural restrictions.
Figure 10-1 Example of a master catalog
If your store has more than one catalog you must choose one of the following:
Set one of the existing catalogs as the master catalog, assuring that the
restrictions mentioned above are applied.
Create a new master catalog following the restrictions defined above.
