Commerce server feature channel configuration "ChannelConfigurationFeature" creates the "Channel Configuration" list with content type named "ChannelStringContentType" once activated on sharepoint site.
It is important to note that if that content type or that list already exists, the activation process will first delete them and then recreate them. The list will have empty values.
In this list we configure the channel and default catalog name of commerce server which is used in application to get commerce server data from specific catalog.
Once you update the default catalog name and channel with required data, event receiver attached to the list add the entry in sharepoint property bag in key-Value pair format. And commerce server searches the sharepoint property bag for getting default catalog and channel value
Sharepoint property bag stores the default catalog name and channel value in key-value pair format as -
microsoft.commerce.settings.Channel - channel set to "Default" and it is case sensitive
microsoft.commerce.settings.DefaultCatalog - Name of the catalog
Problem
I have created one feature to update the channel configuration list programmatically by creating one feature receiver to avoid manual configuration. But application gives an error as mention below
Code under Feature Activated event is as follows-
using (SPWeb web = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb)
{
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPList ConfigurationList = web.Lists["Channel Configuration"];
if (ConfigurationList != null)
{
SPListItem item = ConfigurationList.GetItemById(1);
if (item["Value"] == null)
{
item["Value"] = properties.Feature.Properties["DefaultValue"].Value;
item.Update();
}
SPListItem item2 = ConfigurationList.GetItemById(2);
if (item2["Value"] == null)
{
item2["Value"] = properties.Feature.Properties["CatalogValue"].Value;
item2.Update();
}
ConfigurationList.Update()
}
DefaultValue and CatalogValue are the properties in feature.xml file
Error I got is as
Server Error in '/' Application.

Solution
Reason is, it doesn't update the configured values in sharepoint property bag.
So programmatically we can add the key-values in sharepoint property bag as on Feature Activated event
// Remove default channel string from sharepoint property bag
if (web.AllProperties.ContainsKey("microsoft.commerce.settings.Channel"))
{
web.AllProperties.Remove("microsoft.commerce.settings.Channel");
web.Properties["microsoft.commerce.settings.Channel"] = null;
web.Update();
web.Properties.Update();
}
// Add default Channel key-value into Property bag
web.Properties["microsoft.commerce.settings.Channel"] = properties.Feature.Properties["DefaultValue"].Value;
web.AllProperties["microsoft.commerce.settings.Channel"] = properties.Feature.Properties["DefaultValue"].Value;
// Remove default catalog key-value from sharepoint Property bag if alredy exist
If
(web.AllProperties.ContainsKey("microsoft.commerce.settings.DefaultCatalog"))
{
web.AllProperties.Remove("microsoft.commerce.settings.DefaultCatalog");
web.Properties["microsoft.commerce.settings.DefaultCatalog"] = null;
web.Update();
web.Properties.Update();
}
// Add default catalog key-value into sharepoint property bag
web.Properties["microsoft.commerce.settings.DefaultCatalog"] = properties.Feature.Properties["CatalogValue"].Value;
web.AllProperties["microsoft.commerce.settings.DefaultCatalog"] = properties.Feature.Properties["CatalogValue"].Value;
Here we are adding property key-value in web.Properties and in web.AllProperties because Web.properties - add the key-value in sharepoint property bag but all in small case and channel value id case sensitive.
Web.AllProperties - add the key-value in sharepoint property bag as the case specified in value
