Mozilla FireFox - how to add security certificate exception urls

If you visit a web site with a secure connection(https) and if the website's security certificate has some problem like the security certificate presented by the website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority or the security certificate has expired or is not yet valid, you will get an error page ( like below in IE ) with an option to continue to this website. When this non secure page is loading, in Internet Explorer, you will get an option to specify whether you need to download the page content files like JS, CSS, Images,... But you will not get such an option in FireFox/Chrome and could see only the text data in this new non secure page. If you are doing some local development with FireFox/Chrome and have such a situation, you might want to override this security restriction. FireFox provides some exception url list in secure certificates menu. Go to Options - Advanced - Encryption - View Certificates and click the exception list and...

How can we use SOAP UI to test ATG search

The call from the ATG commerce instance ( Estore instance ) to the search engine is done using the SOAP protocol. Read more about this architecture @ http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2011/11/atg-search-architectural-flow-search.html . If you have a SOAP UI tool (get it from @ http://www.soapui.org/ ), you could test the request/response from the search engine. You could find the wsdl for this SOAP in the folder in which your ATG search engine is installed. Below screen shot has the deatils of the wsdl : To call the search engine you need to know the port in which the search engine is running. You could get it from the SearchEngineService component of the commerce instance @ /dyn/admin/nucleus/atg/search/routing/SearchEngineService/. Once you have these details, you could call the search engine with a sample request and a query string to get the response.

Search Facets - how to create a new search facets in ATG Search

A Facet is a search refinement element that corresponds to a property of a commerce item type. ATG supports the search result refinement using the Faceted Search concept. Read more about facted search @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_search . Facet can either be ranges or specific values. Each facet is stored in the RefinementRepository as a separate refineElement repository item. Facets are divided into Global and Local facets. Global facets apply to all the categories and local facets only to the category in which they are created. For example Price/Brand can be considered as the facets that are common for all skus and New Release/Coming Soon can be considered as the facets that are specific to Physical Media products like Vidoe/DVD/Blue-ray/Books. We can use the ATG BCC - Merchandising UI to create facets. The Faceting Property depends on the meta-properties defined in the \atg\commerce\search\product-catalog-output-config.xml ( the def...
