Bootstrap the Commerce Engine

Bootstrapping is the process of loading a set of changed configurations into the commerce system, changing the data models or functionality.

Whenever you make changes to any environment configuration files, you must run the Bootstrap operation on the Commerce Engine to ensure that your changes are propagated to the global database.

The following instructions assume that you have installed the Postman application, imported the sample collections from the Sitecore Commerce Engine SDK, configured your environment, and retrieved a bearer token to access the Commerce Engine API, as described here.

To bootstrap the Commerce Engine:

1. In the Postman Collections pane, expand the SitecoreCommerce_DevOps collection. 
2. Open the 1 Environment Bootstrap folder and execute the Bootstrap Sitecore Commerce request.
