What's in this README

This README file contains information about known problems with the product. Updates to this README file will be posted to the WebSphere Commerce Library page. You can also check the Technotes database on WebSphere Commerce Support page for reported problems and other product support information.

Documentation

The WebSphere Commerce Library page contains any updates that have been made to the online help and installation guide. Also available is additional product information not shipped on the CD.

Installation

The trace.txt file and message.txt files, generated during instance creation, are encoded using UTF-8 by default. The encoding of these files, as well as all other Loader output messages, can be customized. To change the default coding, the configuration file must be changed by doing the following:
  1. Open the WCALoggerConfig.xml residing in Commerce_Install/xml/loader
  2. For each loader component, replace <handler type="file"> with <handler type="file" encoding=""> where the encoding attribute value depends on the locale setting.

Additional software prerequisites

In addition to the software prerequisites listed in the installation documentation, ensure that you have a Netscape Web browser installed on any node where you will run the WebSphere Commerce installation wizard.

A Netscape Web Browser is required to view the additional information available through the Installation Complete panel of the WebSphere Commerce installation wizard.
