E-Commerce Catalog error and log configurator probelm?

Question

Hello,
I am trying to browse a B2B shop (http://server:port/b2b/b2b/init.do) in CRM 5.0 and getting following error message:
The catalog that you have selected is currently unavailable; try again later
I am using CRM 5.0 System (IDES Client) and basically trying to setup a E-Commerce development environment.
Following are the steps i have done so far for E-Commerce configuration:
1. Configured ISADMIN (http://server:port/isauseradm/admin/xcm/init.do).
1.1 Changed following params for Start->General Application Settings->Customer->isauseradm->isauseradmconfig:
>> SSLEnabled: false
>> appinfo: true
>> show start.jsp: true
>> AddUserToPartner: true
>> AcceptExistingUser: true
1.2 Created a new JCo connection under Start->Components->Customer->jco and entered my back end CRM System details and saved it as CRM_800_JCO. I also did Run Test which was successful.
1.3 Created a new JCo connection under Start->Application Configurations->Customer and entered following params and saved it with name CRM_800_ISAUSERADMSTD:
>> Base configuration: isauseradmStandard
>> default configuration: X
>> active configuration: X
>> jcodata: CRM_800_JCO
>> backendtype: crmdefault
>> usertype: CRM_Standalone
>> uidata: default
2. Configured B2B (http://server:port/b2b/admin/xcm/init.do).
2.1 Changed following params for Start->General Application Settings->Customer->b2b->b2bconfig:
>> SSLEnabled: false
>> appinfo: true
>> show start.jsp: true
2.2 Created a new JCo connection under Start->Components->Customer->jco and entered my backend CRM System details and saved it as CRM_800_JCO. I also did Run Test which was successful.
2.3 Created a new JCo connection under Start->Application Configurations->Customer and entered following params and saved it with name CRM_800_B2BCRMSTD:
>> Base configuration: b2bcrmstandard
>> default configuration: X
>> active configuration: X
>> jcodata: CRM_800_JCO
>> usertype: CRM_Standalone
3. I was really not sure if ShopAdmin config is required or not but i did it. Configured SHOPADMIN (http://server:port/shopadmin/admin/xcm/init.do).
3.1 Changed following params for Start->General Application Settings->Customer->shopadmin->shopadminconfig:
>> SSLEnabled: false
>> appinfo: true
>> show start.jsp: true
3.2 Created a new JCo connection under Start->Components->Customer->jco and entered my backend CRM System details and saved it as CRM_800_JCO. I also did Run Test which was successful.
3.3 Created a new JCo connection under Start->Application Configurations->Customer and entered following params and saved it with name CRM_800_CRMSHOP:
>> Base configuration: crmshop
>> default configuration: X
>> active configuration: X
>> jcodata: CRM_800_JCO
4. Restarted CRM J2EE.
5. Setup TREX 7.0.
5.1 From TREX Administration, created a new connection (Type A, i.e., using System Number and Application Server Host) for CRM System and also RFC Dest. (sm59) in CRM System.
5.2 Restarted TREX and connected this connection.
5.3 Following are the visible column values for this connection in TREX Administration:
>> Connection Status: <connected>
>> Configuration Satus: Green
>> SAP System: CRM
>> RFC Destination: TREX_DEFAULT
>> Gateway: local
>> RfcServer Instances: 1 (no automatic changes)
>> TREXRfcServer Processes: 1
>> Workprocesses: 6 (4 DIA, 2BGD)
5.4 Did a RFC Connection test in CRM System using SM59 which was successful as well.
5.5 Using Transaction SRMO (Retrieval : Search Server Relation Monitor) in CRM System changed the RFC Destination for Search server ID DRFUZZY (for both I and S type RFC Server destination action) to TREX_DEFAULT. Did a connection test for this and it was successful.
6. Initiated Replication using transaction COMM_PCAT_IMS_INIT with following params:
>> Product Catalog: PCSHOP
>> Variant: VAR_EN
>> Search Server Relation:  DRFUZZY
>> Publishing Computer ID:
>> Allows Parallel Processing:
>> Publish Documents via HTTP:
>> Transfer Document Content: X
>> Package Size of Indexing: 5,000
>> Processing Existing Indexes: Overwrite Index Only When OK
>> Behavior when Error Messages Occur: Cancel Variant Replication
7. Logged into ISADMIN User Config (http://server:port/isauseradm/useradmin/init.do) and created a new user using the option New User and New Contact Person with an existing company of type Sold-To Party and which belongs to the sales area that is linked with PCSHOP Product Catalog (from IDES data).
Now, when i log into B2B Page (http://server:port/b2b/b2b/init.do) using the newly created user and click on the shop PC4BIZ_EN i get following error message:
The catalog that you have selected is currently unavailable; try again later
I also created a new Product Catalog and did the Initial Replication still getting the same above error message.
Can anyone please tell me what am i missing or what mistake i have done?
I even restarted CRM System, but the result is still the same.
Also, how do i check the log files for B2B? I checked the E-Commerce Admin Console (http://server:port/b2b/admin/index.jsp) and clicked on the logging link, but i get the following message:
Logging is now configured centrally in the J2EE Engine Visual Administrator (server service: Log Configurator)
How exactly do i configure and what is the right path for B2B Logging in J2EE Visual Administrator? And where will the log files for B2B be stored on the server?
I would really appreciate (and of course award points) for your help on this.
thanks and regards,
Vasu

Answer 1

Thanks for the Note reference. I will go through it now and try to check the log files.
And regarding the error message i don't think it could be because of The Catalog variant is not set right in the Shopadmin application as all the values in Shopadmin seem to be correct. Anyhow following are the current values selected for the custom Product Catalog I created:
Shop Id: ZTEST

Regarding the reason "The Catalog was not replicated properly and is hence unavailable on TREX", is there any way to verify this? When i ran Initial Replication (transaction COMM_PCAT_IMS_INIT with the values i said in my first post) everything was green.
Also, how do i clear the Catalog Cache? Is it the same as clearing the Catalog Cache Statistics in E-Commerce Administration Console (http://server:port/b2b/admin/index.jsp)?
Thanks and Regards,
