Starter store archives
A starter store archive provides a fully functional sample online store. Starter stores are samples designed to be used as a base from which a customized online store can be created. Starter stores are translated into several languages and are accessible. WebSphere Commerce provides sample composite store archives that can be published for each business model.
These composite store archives are composed of the following components:
- A sample organization structure
- Sample predefined user roles
- Sample necessary access control policies
- A sample storefront
- Sample assets
Publishing the composite store archives creates the proper environment, as well as a working store or site. These store archives are available in the default view of the Publish wizard:
- B2BDirect.sar
- Madisons.sar
- Elite.sar
- AdvancedB2BDirect.sar
- ExtendedSites.sar
- DemandChain.sar
- SupplyChain.sar
WebSphere Commerce also provides component starter store archives for each part of the composite store archive. These component store archives are available in the respective store type's view of the Publish wizard.
