HCL Commerce V 9.1.3 has been release !!!
Statutory warning :Setting up workspace may take more time initially !!
Few points to remember
- React Store front is recommend instead of Aurora legacy store
- Use Elasticsearch instead of SOLR - It comes with NLP search - You cannot miss for next generation eCommerce experience
- Elasticsearch is an open source tool you can setup independelly in any windows machine - But never try that for HCL Commerce. Use docker image of the elasticsearch for workspace setup
- Test all links from the NIFI - will be good for quick check
- V9.1.3 is more distributed in nature compared to V9.
- Xc Server, Legacy Server, Search Server - Too many servers - But yes that is very important to to build the more distributed architecture - May be the Way to Pure Microservice Architecture . Yes HCL commerce need more and more changes to become fully microservice architecture
- Publish Emerald store for B2C customers. Don;t forget to experiment the NLP cool feature provided by default with Emerald + Elasticsearch . (Eg : I am looking for blue Sofa) - Yes you will get blue sofa .
- As of today Dec 1 - 2020 - Emerald store yet to get all features of the full-fledged ecommerce store features
- By default Emerald disable the Order history page - You need to enable it manually
- Publish Sapphire store for B2B customer
- 9.1.3 comes with Composer as a CMS engine . But this will not work for Emerald - You may have to use only for Aurora store
- As per my knowledge HCL may release brand new dedicated - sophisticated enterprise grade content management system for HCL Commerce in Dec 2020 - or Early Jan 2021- Waiting ...
- to be continue ...
