WebSphere Catalog Architect Content Management
Catalog Architect (CA) Content Management is more powerful in creating and managing
catalogs. Client-Server Database Support enables centralized data with data sharing and
access. CA can have the client and server running separate machines as well as supporting
local databases. Features include:
• Enhanced Extensible Markup Language (XML) to support adding, modifying, deleting
catalog objects, or creating and updating in batch mode. CA supports a superset of the
common Commerce Suite XML DTD.
• Merchandising Support includes aggregation of items in kits, bundles, sets, and
packages, and product or item associations with cross-sells, up-sells, or substitutions.
• Field Values SQL Access simplifies data entry and increases validity of data.
• Users can create a drop-down list of pick values for populating CA. They have the
ability to disable or enable show or hide fields that are not to be managed by CA. This
enables certain fields that are sourced from inventory, availability, or other back-end
