A catalog may be used by multiple stores, but a store is not required to sell every item or display every group in the catalog. Neither are stores required to display each item identically. These relationships allow store developers to customize how a catalog is used by a store without changing the catalog assets and, therefore, without affecting other stores that use the same catalog.
The following tables includes on catalog assets and store assets:
- Store catalog (STORECAT)
- Store catalog group (STORECGRP)
- Store catalog entry (STOREENT)
- Display catalog group relation (DISPCGPREL)
- Display catalog entry relation (DISPENTREL)
Store catalog (STORECAT)
A store catalog object is used to link catalog objects to a store. Collectively, the set of all objects that contain the same storeent_id value are used to find the catalogs supported by the store.
Remember, a single store may use more than one catalog. For example, in addition to a master catalog, there
may be sales catalogs that organize the products differently, each optimized for a different type of shopper. The storeent_id is used to find the appropriate set of catalogs to display. For each object found, the catalog_id is used to find the appropriate catalog object. sales catalog proceeds as shoppers choose the catalog they would like to view.

Store catalog group (STORECGRP)
A store catalog group object is used to link catalog group objects to a store. Collectively, the set of all objects that contain the same storeent_id value are used to find the catalog groups supported by the store.
Store catalog entry (STOREENT)
A store catalog entry object is used to link catalog entry objects to a store. Collectively, the set of all objects that contain the same storeent_id value are used to find the catalog entries supported by the store.
The storeent_id is used to find the set of supported catalog entries. Given a list of catalog entries in the
catalog, the catalog entry is displayed only if it is also in the set of supported catalog entries.
catalog, the catalog entry is displayed only if it is also in the set of supported catalog entries.
Display catalog group relation (DISPCGPREL)
The display catalog group relation object is used to link a JSP name to a catalog group. Usually, a default page is provided for an entire site and, when necessary, an override is provided when the default page is inadequate. Overrides can be selected based on store, member group, device type, catalog group, language or any combination of these properties. A weighted best-fit technique is used when more than one relation satisfies the selection criteria.
Display catalog entry relation (DISPENTREL)
The display catalog entry relation object is used to link a JSP name to a catalog entry. Usually, a default page is provided for an entire site and, when necessary, an override is provided when the default page is inadequate. Overrides can be selected based on store, member group, device type, catalog entry type, catalog entry, language or any combination of these properties. A weighted best-fit technique is used when more than one relation satisfies the selection criteria.
