Type System Localization
Localizing data and type systems enables storefronts to be displayed in multiple languages for customers. It also allows backend users to work with user interfaces (for example, Backoffice) in their preferred language.

Now that you understand the basics of the SAP Commerce Type System and how to use items.xml to configure and customize data types, the next step is to deploy custom data types to the SAP Commerce Cloud system
Since we have learned about the SAP Commerce Type System and the items.xml file, it’s useful to extend your understanding of two generic types: collection and relations. They can be used to support multivalue attributes.
You have learned about Backoffice and the Backoffice Framework. I am sure you can’t wait to get some hands-on experience for validating and practicing your understanding.
Perform the Backoffice Exercise.
To access the exercise material and the preconfigured exercise environment, you must have a SAP Learning Hub subscription. This subscription further grants you access to LSA for SAP Commerce Cloud.
The blog post: LSA (Learning System Access): Yet Another Way to Learn SAP Commerce Cloudcontains the information that you must find and book the learning system. Just remember to search for “C4H34B” to find the “Practice” system entry for this course.
Only after you manage to book the learning system and log into it (following the related system set up guide), you will be able to access the exercise.
As you learned in the previous concept, the behavior of widgets displayed inside Backoffice can be modified by editing XML configuration files.
It’s time for some practical examples.
You might be curious about how a custom Backoffice extension is different from other commerce extensions after learning how to create one.
Custom Backoffice extensions, created using the yBackoffice template, come with unique Backoffice-related files. These files are designed specifically to configure, extend, or customize the Backoffice according to your needs. Let’s look at an example (below) of a custom Backoffice extension named demoBackoffice, and understand how these special files are organized within this extension.
The Backoffice application is based on the Cockpit NG Framework and can be extensively customized.
It is implemented in the Backoffice extension, so let’s look at some essentials and the use of the yBackoffice template to manage your own Backoffice extensions.
Backoffice extension contains all OOTB functionalities of Backoffice, which includes Backoffice framework and Administration Cockpit with standard widgets. It’s a single web application that serves as a container for all Backoffice modules. It contains the Application Orchestrator (F4) to design your own custom mashup. By default, the application is accessible at this link: (https://localhost:9002/backoffice)
yBackoffice extension template helps you customize your Backoffice. The template can be used to generate a custom extension where you can implement your own Backoffice module, widgets, or UI configuration. Each extension based on yBackoffice contributes to the main Backoffice application. However, it’s important to note that these extensions cannot be used to create another Backoffice application with a different access URL.
The Application Orchestrator allows admin users to modify and customize the Backoffice, either by altering graphical elements, or loading modified xml configuration files from disk.
All modifications take effect live (no system restart required).
The Backoffice is a user-centric, extensible, backend interface enabling business users to easily manage any kind of data within SAP Commerce Cloud.
