Propagating promotion data from a staging server to the production server

  1. You must configure the staging server so that it stages promotion data. Refer to the "Configuring the staging server for customized tables". Follow the steps explaining how to stage merchant data, using the information below, which is specific to promotion data. You must configure the following tables on your staging server for promotions:
    CALCODE
    This table contains the ID and basic information about the promotion object.
    RLDISCOUNT
    The table contains information about the details of the promotion object.
    CALCODEDSC
    The table contains translated customer viewable descriptions for the promotion object.
    CALCODEMGP
    The table contains relationship definitions between promotion objects and customer segments.
    CATENCALCD
    The table contains relationship definitions between promotion objects and products.
    SHPMODCLCD
    The table contains relationship definitions between promotion objects and shipping methods.
  2. After this propagation, the instance running on the production server must be restarted.
  3. A business user must activate the promotions once again, using the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator associated with the production machine.
