latter approach is recommended, as validation of the user ID should happen in the update command.

Important: UserRegistrationUpdateCmd, UserRegistrationAddCmd and

UserRegistrationDeleteCmd must be invoked as URL commands.

If these commands are invoked from a JSP called directly through a view, or from a generic controller command (a command that returns true from the isGeneric method), the commands may update or delete the generic user (the user with ID -1002). This can have adverse effects on the behavior of the entire site.

8.2.4 Logon command

The behavior of the logon command is different in WebSphere Commerce V5.6, compared to WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1. The following restrictions have been added to users attempting to log on to a store in WebSphere Commerce V5.6:

The user must have a role in the store’s organization hierarchy.

The user’s registration has to be approved. If the user is pending approval, he or she will not be able to log on.

If any of the organizations in the user’s ancestral organization hierarchy is locked, the user will not be allowed to log on.

While these changes do not necessarily prompt any code changes in custom code, they may affect the default behavior of your store.

8.2.5 Calculation usage framework

If you have made customization in the calculation framework, these should be migrated to the new structure in WebSphere Commerce V5.6.

Note: It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the information about the calculation framework, found in the WebSphere Commerce V5.6 infoCenter at the following address:
