Participant and organization modeling structure

Before using the sample data to test the WebSphere Commerce integration with Sterling Order Management, review the preconfigured participant and organization modeling structure to determine whether the structure meets your particular business needs.

If the provided modeling structure meets your business needs, use the sample configuration to test your integration. However, if the modeling structure does not meet your business needs exactly, customize the sample data before you test your integration.

The sample data provides two preconfigured enterprises, Aurora-Corp and Aurora. These enterprises control and enforce business rules and document flow of all subsidiaries, which include 4 warehouses and 10 stores. Aurora is a seller organization and a pricing organization. It maintains its own inventory and is the inventory organization for Aurora-Corp. Aurora defines seller attributes, payment rules, and pricing rules for the sample Aurora stores.

Aurora-Corp is the catalog organization of Aurora. Both Aurora-Corp and Aurora map to the WebSphere Commerce sample extended site store, such as AuroraESite.

Mappings between the sample data and the WebSphere Commerce sample extended site store are defined in <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/AuroraValueMaps.xml.sample. Warehouses map to the WebSphere Commerce sample FFMCENTERS. Stores map to the WebSphere Commerce sample stores. Table 1 shows the warehouse mappings and Table 2 shows the store mappings.

Note: We can map to existing FFMCENTERS or use WebSphere Commerce Accelerator to manually create our own ffmcenter, such as Aurora Warehouse - West.

Table 1. Warehouse to ffmcenter mappings

Warehouse	ffmcenter
Aurora_WH1	AuroraESite
Aurora_WH2	Aurora Warehouse - West
Aurora_WH3	Jacksonville Warehouse
Aurora_WH4	Miami Warehouse

Table 2. Store mappings

Organization Code in Sterling Order Management	Store in WebSphere Commerce
Auro_Store_1	Aurora - Boston
Auro_Store_2	Aurora - Burlington
Auro_Store_3	Aurora - San Francisco
Auro_Store_4	Jacksonville Mall
Auro_Store_5	Jacksonville Center
Auro_Store_6	Jacksonville Square
Auro_Store_7	Jacksonville Outlet
Auro_Store_8	Miami Mall
Auro_Store_9	Miami Center
Auro_Store_10	Miami Square

Mappings of the Aurora stores and warehouses are provided in the AuroraValueMaps.xml.sample file as part of sample data, as shown:

<mm:Entry key="AuroraESite">Aurora_WH1</mm:Entry> 
		<mm:Entry key="Jacksonville Mall">Auro_Store_4</mm:Entry> 
		<mm:Entry key="Jacksonville Center">Auro_Store_5</mm:Entry> 
		<mm:Entry key="Jacksonville Square">Auro_Store_6</mm:Entry> 
		<mm:Entry key="Jacksonville Outlet">Auro_Store_7</mm:Entry> 
		<mm:Entry key="Miami Mall">Auro_Store_8</mm:Entry> 
		<mm:Entry key="Miami Center">Auro_Store_9</mm:Entry> 
		<mm:Entry key="Miami Square">Auro_Store_10</mm:Entry>
