This lesson provides valuable hands-on experience during the learning journey. Note that while it's not mandatory to book a learning system to complete the learning journey, it is highly recommended.
A hands-on exercise is available for most of the units (Security, Orders, CronJobs, workflows, Validation, and Web Content Management System (WCMS)). All the exercise materials are accessible in the preconfigured exercise environment on the SAP Practice System server. The blog post Hands-on Practice Systems: Your Path to Mastering SAP Commerce Cloud contains the information you’ll need to find/book a learning system.
Remember to search for C4H340 to find the Practice System entry for this course. After booking the learning system, follow the instructions in the related system setup guide (the SSG, available in the resource list of each Practice System entry) to log in to the exercise environment server.
Locate the folder c4h340_2211jdk21 in your home directory. Within this folder, you’ll find these four subfolders.
The Exercises folder contains a PDF file for each exercise, which can be done as you finish the corresponding unit in your learning journey.
The Handouts folder contains the training presentation slides.
The eclipse-bundle folder contains a preconfigured Eclipse IDE for development.
The workspace folder contains the SAP Commerce Cloud system resources.
Before you begin the exercises, watch the following video that offers a basic understanding of the exercise setup.
Note that the ZIP file mentioned in the video is not publicly accessible. Its contents have been unzipped and are readily available in our Practice System training environment where all the necessary components for your development are prearranged.
Once you've grasped the basics of performing the exercises, open the file C4H340_Exercises.pdf in the Exercises folder and complete the Class Setup Exercise.
Follow the instructions step by step.
If you encounter a problem along the way, you can watch the following video demo of the setup exercise. Note that while the video mentions a folder called c4h34be_2211, you'll be using the folder c4h340_2211jdk21 for this learning journey. This minor difference is insignificant and can be ignored, as all other resources remain identical.
Remember to follow the exercise instructions in the Class Setup Exercise step by step. The demo video highlights the main steps, serving as a good guide. However, make sure to perform actions like running the "archive" ant target to back up your completed installation, as per the setup exercise.
