Initialize Retail Commerce Scale Unit (Cloud)
In this blog, I am going to showcase how to initialize a Retail commerce scale unit.
If you’re using a Tier-2 sandbox or production environment that has application version 8.1.2.x or later, you must initialize a Commerce Scale Unit (cloud) before you can use retail channel functionality either for point of sale (POS) operations or for e-Commerce operations that use Retail Server in the cloud. Initialization will deploy a Commerce Scale Unit (cloud).
Prerequisites
Deploy a Tier-2 sandbox or production environment that has application version 8.1.2.x or later.
Initialize Commerce Scale Unit as part of a new environment deployment
Make sure the headquarters environment is available and not in Maintenance mode.
- In LCS, on the environment details page, Click on Manage.
