You can definitely deploy stores from the development environment using ant or other scripting language. You would likely want to set the reload interval to allow the pages to be reloaded periodically but that is not going to help you if you are trying to make immediate changes. Likely anything that you want to allow to change dynamically should be in the dynamic properties file. Do you have deployment windows and a standard build process? Not to be critical but it sounds like you are just adhoc changing pages on your server during business hours without a standardized build window, etc. To get around what you mention normally you would ripple start your cluster, if you are only a single server that does not help you much. <roger.michel@clavisit.com> wrote in message news:1601397396.1164815297375.JavaMail.wassrvr@ltsgwas010.sby.ibm.com... > We are using WebSphere Commerce 5.6.1 Business Edition and have one B2C > direct Shop and one extended sites B2C shop on a productive system. > The next steps are to deploy a B2B Store and to migrate the B2C direct to > the extended site model. > > My problem is the update process of the given shops and the actuality of > the development environment. > > > The update process is my biggest problem.
