You can learn more about how actors are used in Assisted Selling by examining the registry which configures and enables all of the actors used by the apps.

Assisted Selling actors are registered here:

/atg/rest/registry/ActorChainRestRegistry

There is a properties file for this in Store.Mobile.DCS-CSR for the Assisted Selling app and one in Store.Mobile.REST module for CRS-IUA.

A wealth of information about actors in your environment is available through the Dynamo Server Admin browser view. Start by viewing the filtering configuration, which determines which properties output for each component or repository item by using this URL, modified for your domain and configuration:
