        Hello @ and Team,

        We are trying to connect AEM with SAP hybris e-commerce using CIF.
        In this process, we have followed the official documentation and reference guide and have adopted Diconium suggested Adobe IO reference implementation.

        However, we are facing few issues -

         

        1) While resolving the response from Hybris and converting them into GraphQL schema (as all the Core components are tightly coupled with Magento schema). Do we have any detailed guide apart from reference documents to tackle it and any suggested approach recommended by Adobe that we can follow?
        Any reference implementation for CIF Core components with Hybris and details will also be highly appreciated.

         

        2) Root category: It seems the author UI as well as CIF core components  expect the commerce catalog to have a single, "root category". Our catalog currently has multiple "top level" categories, not a single root one. Is there a way around this without having to adjust our commerce catalog structure (i.e. providing a single, root category at the top of our catalog)?

         

        3) Category ID: According to GraphQL query documentation , the queries expect an Integer as a category ID value. However in our commerce solution we have alphanumeric as category IDs. Has anyone else faced this issue and if yes, what would be an efficient workaround? We understand for the above issues, a way to tackle them would be to customize both Author UI and Core components sightly as well as Java code, but obviously this is something we'd like to avoid.

         

        Any guidance around these issues would be really helpful.

         

        Thanks,
        Manpreet

        Hi @manpreetk908 

         

        1) Yes , CIF core components are tied to Magento Schema , but it also provide extension hooks to retrieve the response for any new attributes returned from AIO .So we can extend the core cif component and customize as per the need . Please refer

        [0] https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/commerce/storefront/developing/customize-cif-components.html?lang=en

        2) Yes there should be Single Root Category . Please check if all top level categories are mapped to some default category on the Commerce side .

        3) Could you please confirm the exact core components that fires this queries . Mostly Categories query will be fired with UID parameter . Here UID is alphanumeric . Please check whether you are using latest Magento Schema. 

        In the reference url that you have mentioned ,its mentioned as below as well

        The category query has been deprecated. Use the categories query instead.
