Dynamic Services consists of two components that enable the catalog properties to be dynamically updated as the catalog structure is modified by an ACC user or a program using the Repository API.
CatalogChangesListener
Component: /atg/commerce/catalog/custom/CatalogChangesListener
This component registers itself at deployment as a property changed listener for the product catalog. It is notified for each repository change made to a category or catalog item in the product catalog. As each change is made, it calls the CatalogCompletionService to make dynamic updates to the appropriate catalog item property values.
CatalogCompletionService
Component: /atg/commerce/catalog/custom/CatalogCompletionService
This component updates catalog item property values in real time based on changes made to the product catalog repository. It is called by the CatalogChangesListener when changes are made to the product catalog repository.
Refer to the CatalogUpdateService for a list of properties that are maintained by this service.

Running the Dynamic Services
The dynamic service components are started automatically when Dynamo is running with the DCS.CustomCatalogs module. You can disable the CatalogCompletionService by setting the service’s enabled property to false. If you set the enabled property to false, the components still starts up with ATG Commerce, they just don’t do anything when they’re called.
