Hello,

I want to get some information about discounts without puting them into
a basket...
Here is my way to get all discounts for a specific product :

public static DiscountItemCollection GetDiscounts(string
catalogName, string productID)
{
DiscountItemCollection allDiscounts =
DiscountItemCollection.CreateFromCache("Discounts");

DiscountCriteriaFilter filter = new
DiscountCriteriaFilter();
filter.IncludeInactiveDiscounts = false;

return allDiscounts.ApplyProductFilter(filter, catalogName,
productID);
}

The DiscountItem objects returned contains an ID, a display name, ...
but neither an offer type, nor an offer amount.

- Is it possible to get a Microsoft.CommerceServer.Marketing.Discount
form these Microsoft.CommerceServer.Runtime.Marketing.DiscountItem ?
>From their ID maybe ?
- Is it possible to specify a pipeline to launch when the cache manager
loads discounts ?

Thanks in advance,

Antoine.

Hmmm, I forgot to say that I'm using Commerce Server 2007.

I was wrong... DiscountItem objects contain all information I need.

By adding the XML below in your web.config, a cache loader
(CSFLoadDiscounts) will be automatically called to load the Discounts :

<CommerceServer>
<caches>
<cache name=3D"Discounts" type=3D"Discounts"
loaderprogid=3D"Commerce.CSFLoadDiscounts" refreshInterval=3D"0"
retryInterval=3D"30" />
</caches>
</CommerceServer>

Specifying "Commerce.CSFLoadDiscounts" in the loaderprogid attribute is
not mandatory, because it's the default value.

Here is a table that lists all the property of DiscountItem AFTER the
cache loader job :

Hope this will help you as it helps me,

Antoine.
