Steps to follow while extending a catalog (specifically for product catalog)?

I want to add some new properties to the products, to determine there type based on that i want to display different options on the product details page.
Can you please tell me how to extend the product catalog and what are the steps involved in it?

Adding to Ricky,
Since u have not specified ATG version.
Go to ProductCatalog Repository in dyn/admin and see the definition file.ProductCatalog.xml is used for standard catalog and CustomCatalog.xml is used for custom catalog.
Extend that xml using configuration layering.
Thanks,
Nitin.

  • "list / grid view" and "sort by" for product catalogs

    Hi Everyone,
    Is there any progress to either have more layouts in our BC system for Catalogs, etc...
    or the Liquid Layout is being developed and I should use that on a real site?
    Customers keep asking for these basic E-commerce functions:
    - toggle between list view / grid view when viewing product catalogs;
    - sort by function for product catalogs;
    How should I achieve this???
    thanks for any insights,

    Hey Liam,
    Is this found is suitable for what we are discussing here earlier? Namely, to change stylesheets with a link ... I try to do a list/grid view option here ...

  • Steps to follow while creating new report...

    HI friends,
    Can any one please help me with the things to keep in mind and the process to follow while going for creating new reports in BI 7.0. We are about to create some new reports ., also the things to keep in mind while getting the requirement gathering...from the core users,  firstly  the basics to keep in mind and then the finer details technically to logically attempt will greatly help me to accelerate things further,
    very many thanks in advance....

    Hi,
    Get the report layouts from the business.
    Try to limit the data set to a minimum in the report. Decide with the business what chars they would like to have in the variable screen.
    Discuss and decide with your users what they want by default to appear in the report output. The rest of the chars could be put in Free chars and could be drilled down.
    Check if users have to be restricted to some characteristic values. You would need to create authorization objects and attach these to users. Get the list of users and what chars and values they need authorizations for.
    1. Try to avoid Exclusions in RKFs/selections as these degrade performance. Try to include char values instead.
    2. Check if query read mode is set to H - read while navigating and expanding hier (RSRT --> properties). This way the entire dataset is not read from the database at once.
    3. A lot of navigational attributes also affect performance. See if you can add it as char in the backend and read master data while loading.

  • Image Publishing to ISA for Product catalog

    Hi Guys,
    I have to attach an image to each product and publish it to ISA using TREX.
    I have created products and product catalog, I have published all products to ISA application also, But i dont know how to do the same with image.
    Can someone tell me the required steps that needs to follow up.
    Thanks.
    Greetings.
    Regards,
    Manoj Tiwari

    Hello Manoj Tiwari,
    Regarding the distribution of the product catalog, there are 2 parts :
    - The product catalog (structure, texts, ...) is replicated to the index server. The settings for replication are done via SRMO.
    - The catalog may also contain multimedia objects such as images, sound files... Those data are replicated to a specific folder of the web server. To replicate and publish these datas, you must define HTTP and FTP settings.
    following transactions are used for replication / publication :
    - initial replication : comm_pcat_ims_init
    - update replication : comm_pcat_ims_upda
       report com_pcat_imsd_cp_show gives you all changes taken into account in update replication
    - single replication : comm_pcat_ims_single
    replication logs are found in transaction SLG1.
    Pay attention to the fact that the documents are language dependant.
    Regards,
    Frédéric

  • A custom pricing procedure to be used for product catalog via IPC

    Hi all,
       I am new to IPC and E-commerce concepts.I need all your valuable help to work on the below scenario
    I have an existing custom pricing procedure zcustom on the order document in ECC system which needs to be used on the catalog pricing. In simple words customer specific pricing  is to be viewed by dealers in the Product Catalog.
    I have also gone through the PricingUserExit Manual and have understanding on the basics.Please give me steps that I can follow to get a solution for this scenario.
    Thanks and Regards
    Deepika

    Hi Deepika,
    Please check this note [1126537|https://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=1126537&nlang=E] .
    The attached document 'Pricing_in_SAP_ECO.pdf' describes how pricing is done in your case. I think chapter 1.1.1.2 refers to the situation you describe, it tells how the pricing procedure is found and which attributes are available. Other attributes have to be added via customer exits.
    Best regards,

  • Is there any RFC for product catalog

    Hi all,
    With out using ISA, if we have to place product catalog on internet. Is there any RFC we can use.
    Priya

    Hello,
    There is no single RFC that can help you reproduce the Web Channel catalog features. The catalog module works in tandem with TREX for search and display of catalog items with attributes and mime objects. Lot of thought and resources have been input to get the catalog as it is now.
    So, I would suggest you start calling your requirement to Display Product List instead of calling catalog. The reason is simple.The moment you have that list, you will start getting requests / requirements to add more features - such as, nice display with tree structure, search capability, ability to integrate with cart, product details, etc, etc. -  quickly leading to a situation where the catalog in its current form is the solution.
    Anyway, try the function modules in the following function groups.
    CRM_ISALES_PRDCAT - is you want to read the catalog structure as maintained in the CRM system (no product details in catalog). You have to go to product master to get the product / attribute details. No search capabilities. No tree (area / sub area) hierarchies in display.
    SRAD, SRA1 - If you want to mess around reading the TREX indexes and get the information. No tree (area / sub area) hierarchies in display.
    By the way, you can still use the catalog only in the ISA - by just modifying the B2C application -flow_ and removing all the cart related features. Easier said than done. but still, I think that this exercise will be lot easier than developing a new catalog with no features
    If the purpose is to export the catalog to an external display entity, you can try the transaction COMM_PCAT_EXPORT.

  • Best approach to creating a TOC for product catalog using data merge

    What is the best approach for creating a TOC for a product catalog (over 1,000 items) using Data Merge?
    The TOC would contain the product Categories. 
    So for example, Category A items could go from pages 1 - 3, and Category B items would start at pg 4, but if new items were added to Category A, then Category B may start from pg 6. 
    From the Data Source, there are 5 Data Fields I've chosen to be displayed.  If this were a regular digital print document, I could use the Paragraph Style method for creating a TOC, but if I make any one of the Data Fields a certain Paragraph Style and use that for the TOC, it'll populate the TOC with that Data Field for all the items. 
    Any suggestions?

    Peter Spier wrote:
    TOC is not interactive in the ID file, though it can be in a PDF that you export (there's a checkbox to create PDF bookmarks). You might want to think about using Cross-references (rather than hyperlinks, I think) to build the TOC. You have to do it manually, but once done it should maintain itself, whereas a TOC is built automatically, but must be regenerated after you edit the doc.
    One caveat witih TOCs created from cross-references: Although changing the text of an x-ref source paragraph (for example from "Patatas and tamatas" to "Tomatoes and Potatoes,"and/or when the source paragraph flows to the next or previous page) update automatically or when invoking "Update cross-references," MOVING a cross-reference source paragraph to a location before or after another source paragraph, does not change their sequence in the pseudo-TOC. You'll need to manually move the reference in the pseudo-TOC to the correct position in the sequence of cross-refs. So, put the task of checking the order of x-refs in the pseudo-TOC on your before hand-off check list.

  • B2B. Limitation for product catalog area

    Hi,
    Does product catalog has limitations?
    Can i use any number levels for catalog area ?
    Denis

    I haven't seen an explicit limit. But I am guessing that it goes something like this:
    The total sum of all the categories and sub-categories in all levels is not greater than 10,000.
    Say if we have only two main categories, then we can go 5000 level deep in each main category (no more than one sub category at each level). Or if we have 5000 main categories, then we can go just one more level deeper at each category). In both the cases, the total categories + sub-categories is 10,000.
    So, in theory we can have as many combination as you can imagine with in these limits.
    More often, the limiting factor is the usability rather than the number of sub-categories.

  • What are the steps we follow while customizing the Deltas in Bw side

    Hi All,
    I had a query regarding the customization of deltas in BW side after replicating from R/3.
    thanks and regards
    kabir

    Hi,
    In order to customize the deltas for the different DS are depends upon the type of the DS you are using for ex. if it is from LO cockpit then you need to take care of
    the delta setups but you can do the setting for Jobs.
    In case if you have any generic DS you can customize the delta at RSO2 transaction by selecting the one of the delta feild from the DS..
    Hope this helps..
    assign points if useful.

  • External catalog specifications for SAP E-commerce 5.0

    Hi Experts,
    We want to integrate external catalog ( which is custom deveponed by our client.). Using OCI interface we want to use this custom based catalog, in place of SAP ISA TREX based catalog.  In ISA settings I just see that I need to define the url for the external catalog. BUT this external catalog should confirm to certain rules, Please can someone guide me, what are these set of rules?
    Please help, as this is a very critical bottle neck for our project.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dipender Singh

    Hi Dipender,
    The catalog must be OCI compliant in order o use it in conjunction with the SRM Server, compliance in a nutshell means that it will transmit it's return data in the format expected by SRM, the HOOK_URL will contain all the necessary parameters to transmit the HTML data into an expected an readable format for ICI INterface.
    For more details please read the attached OCI Config doc.

  • PPR(Partner Product Range) Type for Product Catalog Views

    Hi all,
    I need to prevent showing some products in E-commerce Catalog depending on the PPR settings. Does the PPR type for Catalog Views help me? can any one explain me what is significance of drop-down "Application" in the PPR type configuration.
    thanks in advance
    Regards, DD

    Hi Mohanthy,
    We are using PPR ( CRM Listings in Filtering products from ISA ). There is no standard way to make the products not displayed in catalog based on listing. We call a Z function module to after the user login to the Ecommerce Application and get the allowed products list and then use that to filter-out the products from the catalog page. ( This might not be a gr8 approach but .. this is exactly your requirement,  and also we don't have a huge catalog so listing data in session is small for us.)
    Hope this gives you a idea.
