It is a single, unified platform which offers the ability to do business directly with consumers ( B2C), with businesses ( B2B), indirectly through channel partners ( indirect business models), or all of these simultaneously. WebSphere Commerce is a customizable, scalable and high availability solution built on the Java- Java EEplatform using open standards, such as XML, and Web services. Versions It all started back in 1996, [ 1 ]with a product calledNet.Commerce(V1.0, V2.0, V3.1, and V3.2). In 2001 Net.Commerce was renamed toWebSphere Commerce Suite, releasing versions V4.1 and V5.1. In 2002WebSphere CommerceV5.4 was released, followed by V5.5 in 2003, V5.6 in 2004 and V5.6.1 in 2005. The latest major release versions are: *.In 2006Version 6.0 [ 2 ] *.In 2009Version 7.0 [ 3 ] There are three editions of WebSphere Commerce software. Each edition provides an increasing set of functionality in comparison: [ 4 ] *.Express [ 5 ] *.Professional [ 6 ] *.Enterprise [ 7 ](note: previously known as Business Edition) Since WebSphere Commerce is a highly customizable solution, IBMprovides an integrated development environment which is used to build and test customizations, extend business logic, change the look and feel of the store and tools, and create a new logic to meet business requirements. The developer platform used for developing and customizing the solution is called IBM WebSphere Commerce Developer. So there are also 3 editions of the developer environment, matching their runtime environments (e.g. WebSphere Commerce Developer Express, WebSphere Commerce Developer Professional, and WebSphere Commerce Developer Enterprise). [ 8 ] As with other IBM products that are also customizable, WebSphere Commerce Developer toolkit runs within IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software (RAD)as the foundation of Java IDE, and RAD extends Eclipseenvironment with visual and other development features. [ 9 ] A specific WebSphere Commerce version uses a specific version of RAD, for example: *.WebSphere Commerce Developer V6 is based on RAD V6. *.WebSphere Commerce Developer V7 is based on either IBM Rational Software Architect(RSA) or RAD V7.5. Migration Migrating to a new version of WebSphere Commerce is done by WebSphere Commerce Migration Wizard, an interactive wizard that guides the user through each phase of the migration process, performing various tasks. [ 10 ] Primary components of the solution As with most Web applications, WebSphere Commerce has 3 main components: *.A database *.An application server (Java EE) *.A web server Databases which are supported with WebSphere Commerce V7 are: [ 11 ] *.

In addition to the features that are already provided within WebSphere Commerce base product, some additional new features are provided regularly by WebSphere Commerce Enhancements or so called Feature Packs. These enhancements are delivered as installable packages, some sample reference applications or documented solutions. WebSphere Commerce Feature Packs include new features (so called enhancements). These enhancements add some new functionality or features to the base product. Feature Pack differs from a fix pack, which is a set of correction fixes to the base code. Fix Packs and Feature Packs within a certain release are cumulative. [ 14 ] Feature Pack contains multiple features that are installed as one package, and can be enabled individually. A feature provides a functional extension to the existing base product functionality.
