Connector for SAP Commerce Cloud Manual / Version 2406.1
Table Of ContentsThe CoreMedia Fragment Connector is the central component in the commerce-led integration scenario (see Chapter 5, Commerce-led Integration Scenario).
The CoreMedia Fragment Connector is the component that connects with CoreMedia CAE to load
CoreMedia content fragments into store pages. Configure the connector in the configuration file
$HYBRIS_HOME/bin/custom/cmlivecontext/project.properties, as described
below:
Configure at least the parameter
com.coremedia.fragmentConnector.liveCaeHost with the host URL of your
Content Application Engine. If you use a single SAP Hybris Commerce Server that should be able to connect to
both, preview and production CAE, you also need to set
com.coremedia.fragmentConnector.previewCaeHost with the host URL of the
preview CAE. In case you have a dedicated staging server with separate production system, you
only need to configure one CAE host, for each.
Find the meaning of all parameters in the configuration file in Table 3.1, “CoreMedia Connector Properties”.
com.coremedia.fragmentConnector.liveCaeHost
| |
| Description |
The liveCaeHost identifies the Live CAE, to be precise, the Varnish, Apache
or any other proxy in front of the Live CAE. Each request made by the fragment connector
will be prefixed with the urlPrefix.
|
| Default | http://preview-apparel.192.168.252.100.xip.io/ |
com.coremedia.fragmentConnector.previewCaeHost
| |
| Description |
The previewCaeHost identifies the Preview CAE, to be precise, the Varnish,
Apache or any other proxy in front of the Preview CAE. Each request made by the fragment
connector will be prefixed with the urlPrefix. The
previewCaeHost is only required if you want a single Commerce instance
being able to access the preview CAE in case of Commerce preview against the stage
catalog and the live CAE in all other cases. Additionally, the preview mode can be
invoked through an HTTP header. If you have a dedicated Commerce instances for staging
and separate production Commerce systems, you do not need to set this property. If this
parameter is not set, the parameter liveCaeHost will be used instead.
|

com.coremedia.fragmentConnector.urlPrefix

This prefix identifies the web application, the servlet context and the fragment handler

| Description |
Every fragment request needs to contain the tuple (storeId, locale) because
it is needed to map a request to the correct site. Using defaultLocale you
can set a default that is used for every request that does not contain a custom locale.
You will see how it is used later, when you see the IncludeTag in action.

| Default | en-US |
com.coremedia.fragmentConnector.contextProvidersCSV

| Description |
Every fragment request can be enriched with shop context specific data. It will be most
likely user session related info, that is available in the commerce system and can be

The fragment connector will return error messages that occur in the CAE while rendering
a fragment if the isDevelopment parameter is set to true. For production
environments you should set this option to false. Errors are logged than
but do not appear on the commerce page so that the end user will not recognize the
errors.
|
| Default | true |
com.coremedia.fragmentConnector.disabled
