Commerce Reference Store has two catalog items in the Catalog repository, masterCatalog
and homeStoreCatalog
. ATG Store US and ATG Store Germany both use masterCatalog
as their default catalog. ATG Home uses homeStoreCatalog
as its default catalog.
masterCatalog
contains two categories:
Neither the rootNavigationCategory
nor the NonNavigableProducts
category is visible to a Web site visitor. The following figure illustrates the masterCatalog
structure:
Similarly, homeStoreCatalog
has two root categories, homeStoreRootCategory
and homeStoreNonNavigableProducts
, that perform the same functions for homeStoreCatalog
that rootCategory
and NonNavigableProducts
do for masterCatalog
.
masterCatalog
and homeStoreCatalog
share the Home Accents category and all of its constituent products and SKUs. Therefore, changes made to the Home Accents category will affect both catalogs.
