Use

You configure bookmark support for B2C E-Commerce to enable customers to add favorites to their Web browser. Adding favorites to the Web browser enables customers to use the favorite links to enter back in to the Web shop process flow where they left it.  The bookmark function works even after a session has expired and so is very useful to customers as they do not need to go through the long process of looking for the same product each time they leave and re-enter the Web shop. You can even use bookmarks to enable customers to enter non-standard entry points in the Web shop from outside Web browser, for example entry to the Store Locator from an external browser.

 

Procedure

You enable bookmark support in B2C E-Commerce in the Extended Configuration Management (XCM) application for your B2C Web shop:

Log on to ...

Log on to XCM at: http//<servername:port>/b2c/admin/xcm/init.do:

       1.      Choose Start ® General Settings ®Customer ® B2c ® b2cconfig.

Set the ReInvokeEnabled parameter to True.

This setting enables the bookmark support independently of session timeouts

       2.      Choose Start ® Components ®Customer ® shop ® <shop component configuration assigned to your application configuration>.

Enter a shop ID value for the defaultShopID parameter.

If you have more than one B2C Web shop and fail to maintain a value here, the entry point for any bookmark will be the shop selection screen. If you need bookmark support in more than one shop you must create an application configuration for each shop to support the bookmark functionality.

       3.      Choose Start ® General Settings ®Customer ® ui ® <ui component configuration assigned to your application configuration>.

Enter a language ID value for the language parameter.

This parameter sets the application language.

Result

A B2C Web shop customer can save any step in the application flow as a Web browser bookmark and use this bookmark hyperlink to re-enter the Web shop at this specific step.
