To delete a category:
- Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
From the Merchandise menu, click Catalog Management.
From the Products menu, click Catalog Management.
A category tree for the master catalog displays. If you do not see this menu, then your logon ID does not have the appropriate authority to perform this task. Contact your Site Administrator.- Highlight the category that you want to delete and click Delete Category.
- The category is removed from the catalog.
Restriction: In a hosting scenario, if manufacturers attempt to delete a category which contains reseller subcategories or products, then the category cannot be deleted since it still contains catalog assets. As reseller subcategories and products are only visible to the reseller, manufacturers may not realize that the category to be deleted is not empty. As a resolution, manufacturers should broadcast a message to all resellers, informing them of the upcoming category deletion and requesting that any catalog assets be moved out of this category.
Notes:
- The category must belong to the store that you have accessed.
- You cannot delete a category if there are any associated catalog entries.
- If the changes to the catalog data do not display, the Site Administrator may need to remove the currently cached JSP pages.
