Commerce Server Blog

In this post, I am trying to explain what are the steps involved in extending commerce server 2009 sub-systems. The process for extension is the same as CS2007 but some additional steps are added.

1.    Adding Fields in LineItem Table ( Database )
2.    Create Extended Line Item Class
3.    Configure the assembly information in Web config.
4.    Configure the Fields information in Order Mapping.
5.    Configure the Fields information in Order Pipeline.
6.    Execute Ordermapping.exe tool and execute output sql statements in transaction database.
7.    Create new Extended Translator Class to translate entities to CS2007 objects or vise versa.
8.    Configure the assembly  information in Channel Configuration.
9.    Configure the Property Mapping in Mapping Configuration.
10.    Modifying XSLT of the web part so that the updated field is shown.

Note: Green means existing process Blue means new process.

In next posts, I will be going in details explaining the steps involved creating custom translator (in detail).
