If set to "true" only a loadable category is set on products.

Maximum number of connections used by the REST connector to access WCS REST services.

The connection request timeout in milliseconds used by the REST connector to access WCS REST services.

That is the time to wait for a response after a connection has been successfully established. A value of "-1" means the client will wait "forever".

The connection timeout in milliseconds used by the REST connector to access WCS REST services.

That is the time until the server accepts the request. A value of "0" means "infinite".

The default locale the REST connector is using if no locale is given.

Determines if dynamic pricing is enabled.

If set to "true" the PriceRepository tries to get personalized prices from the WCS, otherwise an empty price list is returned.

The time a network address will be cached from the WCS REST Connector.

A value of "-1" means network addresses will be cached "forever".

The service user password the REST connector uses to log in into WCS.

This is mandatory and must be set.

Configures the search engine type of the HCL Commerce System.

It is only used since HCL Commerce 9.1 and the search engine ES is used as the default.

For HCL Commerce 9.0 and older the prefix CoreMedia is used as the default search profile prefix. With HCL Commerce 9.1 the prefix should be set to HCL.

If a REST service does not need secure access this url prefix is used.

The secure WCS URL to access the search-based WCS REST services via https.

The socket timeout in milliseconds used by the REST connector to access WCS REST services.

That is the time to wait for a response after a request has been sent. A value of "0" means "infinite".

Determines if the REST connector accepts any certificates from the WCS.

Note, this value has to be set to "false" in production environments. For internal test systems it is ok bypassing the server authentication.

The general WCS URL to access the WCS REST services via http.

The service user the REST connector uses to log in into WCS.

This is mandatory and must be set.

The WCS version. Some WCS REST services are version specific.

The regular expression pattern for which the client should filter the relevant cookies. This should narrow down the cookies on the client side to a subset of cacheable cookies.

Cookie filter pattern for specific environment. The structure of the Map should be: key=environment, value=cookie pattern. The environment is the hardcoded name of the entity param which must be configured on the CM App client side e.g. `commerce.hub.data.customEntityParams.environment=PREVIEW|LIVE``

Examples:

wcs.link.filter-pattern-for.preview=WCP?_.+

wcs.link.filter-pattern-for.live=WC?_.+

The regular expression pattern for the WCS user session cookie. See description for WC_USERACTIVITY_ID in:

Asset URL prefix that is used to build asset links to shop images in the live system.

Typically, a proxy url is set including protocol and possibly a context path prefix.

Should only be set if the adapter does not need to distinguish environments. In this case no environment metadata.custom-entity-param-names parameter is required.

Examles:

https://shop-hcl.coremedia.vm

https://shop-preview-hcl.coremedia.vm

This and the further wcs.link properties are not needed when only connecting to HCL Commerce 9.1+ React stores.

Asset URL prefixes which are used to build asset links to shop images for different environments.

Typically, a proxy url is set including protocol and possibly a context path prefix. The structure of the Map should be: {key=environment, value=url}. The environment is the hardcoded name of the entity param which must be configured in the CMS app, e.g. commerce.hub.data.custom-entity-params.environment=preview|live. IMPORTANT: The keys used here must match those used in the CMS app via commerce.hub.data.customEntityParams.environment={environment}.

Examples:

wcs.link.asset-url-for.preview=https://shop-preview-hcl.coremedia.vm

wcs.link.asset-url-for.live=https://shop-hcl.coremedia.vm

For configuration options see also documentation of wcs.link.storefront-url-for.

This and the further wcs.link properties are not needed when only connecting to HCL Commerce 9.1+ React stores.

Map of StorefrontRef. Used to build shop urls for the Studio Preview and Content-Led integration scenarios.

Known default lookup keys are defined in StorefrontRefKeysCommerceLed and StorefrontRefKeysContentLed. Only lookup keys in lowercase and without "_" are valid.

These patterns can include tokens which will be replaced. These tokens must be well known. The following tokens are predefined:

This and the further wcs.link properties are not needed when only connecting to HCL Commerce 9.1+ React stores.

Storefront URL prefix that is used to build storefront links to shop pages and resources in the live system.

Typically, a proxy url is set, including protocol and possibly a context path prefix.

Should only be set if the adapter does not need to distinguish environments In this case no environment metadata.custom-entity-param-names parameter is required.

Examples:

https://shop-hcl.coremedia.vm/webapp/wcs/shop

https://shop-preview-hcl.coremedia.vm/webapp/remote/preview/servlet

This and the further wcs.link properties are not needed when only connecting to HCL Commerce 9.1+ React stores.

Storefront URLs which are used to build storefront links to shop pages and resources for different environments. The structure of the Map should be: {key=environment, value=url}.

The multi-environment support needs to be activated via metadata.custom-entity-param-names=environment.

Examples:

wcs.link.storefront-url-for.preview=https://shop-preview-hcl.coremedia.vm/webapp/remote/preview/servlet

wcs.link.storefront-url-for.live=https://shop-hcl.coremedia.vm/webapp/wcs/shop

The environment name for the custom entity param must be configured on the client side (CAE, Studio, etc.). Global configuration example: commerce.hub.data.customEntityParams.environment=preview|live

You may also configure multiple storefront URLs for different sites/environments via the commerce settings struct: commerce (Struct) customEntityParams (Struct) environment=siteus (String) Keep the lookup keys simple. Use lowercase with no special characters.

Be aware that you need to configure the environment values on the client site first, otherwise lookups can't work and will fail. There is no default fallback as this could lead to even more confusion.

This and the further wcs.link properties are not needed when only connecting to HCL Commerce 9.1+ React stores.

Number of cache entries per cache class until cache eviction takes place. The keys must match the cache classes as defined by the cache keys. Please refer to javadoc of com.coremedia.cache.CacheKey.

TTL in seconds until certain cache entries are invalidated.

The number of request/response pairs to cache persistently. The keys must be valid cache classes as configured for the data lookup service, e.g., catalog, catalogs, category, categories, etc.

Format of the custom attribute values.

The keys are always plain strings.

Used to identify the deserialization format on the CMS side.

List of parameter names, which values need to be transmitted with every entity request from the CMS side.

Map of key value pairs.

Used as replacement map for example for link building in the generic client on the CMS side.

Name of the vendor.

Used to identify the connected vendor on the CMS side.
