In general, the modules you use for your development environment, which is the environment in which ATG Merchandising runs are nearly identical to those used in production. If the production environment uses the B2BCommerce
module, the development environment uses the B2BCommerce.Versioned
module, indicating the Business Commerce with support for versioning (Content Administration).
When you build your application, the ATG Commerce module you use indicates the type of Commerce product (Consumer Commerce or Business Commerce) or the type of catalogs (standard or custom) your site implements as well as other optional Commerce features. Web applications that use custom catalogs must specify the DCS.DynamicCustomCatalogs.Versioned
module when running ATG Merchandising. Note that non-dynamic custom catalogs are not supported in ATG Merchandising. When you use B2Bcommerce.Versioned
, you use the dynamic custom catalogs automatically.
