An optional task to install the Web-based Business Tools.

At your browser:

Install the Commerce Merchandiser Manager package.
  1. Browse to http://<your Sitecore site>/sitecore/admin/UpdateInstallationWizard.aspx

    Note: You may receive warnings and errors such as collisions – these are benign and can be safely ignored.
The Sitecore Media Library is used by default when Sitecore is used as your CMS. If you choose to override this, or are using Commerce Server 11.1 without using Sitecore as your CMS, a base URL to your media assets must be specified.
  1. Log in to the Sitecore Content Editor with user credentials with the appropriate permissions to edit the core database.
  1. Navigate to sitecore/Client/Sitecore/Applications/MerchandisingManager/Common/CommerceImages-Parameters.
  2. Set the baseURL field to the absolute root URL of your media assets. For example, "http://www.myserver.com/media/images/".
  3. Save your changes.

The Commerce Merchandising Manager is now available. Choose the Launch Pad > Commerce Merchandising Manager options when logging into Sitecore to use the web-based business tool.
