Helping Hand Questions for B2C-Commerce-Developer

For creating a new service instance in Salesforce B2C Commerce that calls a remote web service, the correct method to use is dw.svc.LocalServiceRegistry.createService(), as shown in Option A. This method allows developers to define a service configuration that specifies various aspects of the service call, such as the endpoint URL, request method, credentials, and other necessary parameters. By using LocalServiceRegistry.createService(), the developer can leverage the built-in service framework in B2C Commerce, which facilitates the management and execution of external service calls, including error handling and connection pooling.

To fulfill the requirement of saving SKUs of out-of-stock products and customer emails for notification purposes, the most effective solution is to create a new custom object type. This custom object type would include a set-of-string type custom attribute to store the SKUs of products a customer is interested in and a string type custom attribute for storing the email address of the customer. This approach allows for greater flexibility and organization, making it easier to manage and query the data as needed for notifying customers when products are back in stock.

To investigate and verify cache settings specifically for product tiles in Salesforce B2C Commerce, developers can use tools provided within the platform for real-time analysis and debugging. Option A, enabling cache information in the storefront toolkit, allows developers to see cache-related data directly on the storefront, providing insight into whether and how specific components are cached. Option D, using the template debugger, helps to confirm the cache settings applied to specific ISML templates, such as the one used for rendering product tiles. These tools are essential for diagnosing and resolving issues related to caching, ensuring that the content is stored and served effectively according to the configured cache durations.

In Salesforce Commerce Cloud, a shared library is used to manage content assets that can be accessed across multiple sites. This setup is particularly useful in multi-site configurations where certain content, like media files, branded content, or general information, needs to be consistent across different sites. The shared library allows for central management of these assets, reducing duplication and ensuring consistency. It does not, however, typically handle content slots or locale-specific content directly; those are usually managed at the site or locale level to cater to specific market or regional needs.
