2 Initial System Configuration of the Merchandising Cloud Service Solutions

Initial System Configuration is a one-time activity performed in Merchandising environments which involves defining a group of system critical settings which are required at a minimum to initiate a given environment. This particular set of system options are required before the system becomes available for use, because they drive how other options are defaulted and how some seed data is loaded into the solution.

Initial system configuration needs to be performed and activated for each distinct environment; therefore, careful attention must be paid to ensure your various environments are configured with the same setting selections. Differences in setting values could lead to issues during data migration activities.

When Initial System Configuration has not been performed and activated in Merchandising, various solutions and services within the ecosystem will display a default message requesting you to navigate to the Merchandising solution to complete, or check the status of, initial system configuration.

For more details on the Initial System Configuration process see the Merchandising Implementation Guide.
