Enabling auctions

Before you can run auctions on your store or run the auctions reference application, you must first enable auctions with WebSphere Commerce.

To enable auctions:

  1. Open the Configuration Manager.
  2. From the left navigation within Configuration Manager, expand WebSphere Commerce > hostname > Instance List > Components > Auctions.
  3. From the right window within Configuration Manager, in the SMTP Server field, type the name of your SMTP server.
  4. In the Reply Email field, enter the e-mail address of the person who will be sending auction notification messages and receiving responses to them. Typically, this person will be a Site Administrator.
  5. Select Enable Component to auctions.
  6. Click Apply. A message displays to indicate that the system has successfully configured this component.
  7. Close Configuration Manager.
  8. Restart WebSphere Commerce.
