When you use Business Commerce or Consumer Commerce with custom catalogs, you must configure one agent server on your target site cluster to run the Catalog Maintenance Service. There are two ways to do this:
Specify the
DCS.PublishingAgentmodule when you create the application that corresponds with the agent server that will run the Catalog Maintenance Service. For all other servers in the cluster, specify thePublishingAgentmodule instead.Specify the
DCS.PublishingAgentmodule when you create all clustered servers using . On all servers not running the Catalog Maintenance Service, set theactiveproperty tofalsein the/atg/epub/CatalogMaintenanceHelpercomponent.
Regardless of which method you choose, the agent server running the Catalog Maintenance Service must use the /atg/commerce/catalog/custom/CatalogCompletionService component, so make sure the enabled property remains set to true. This component is responsible for recalculating asset properties automatically when the properties they depend on change in value. For more information on custom catalogs, see Using Standard or Custom Catalogs.
