B2C WebDAV Skill

Use the b2c CLI plugin to perform WebDAV file operations on Salesforce B2C Commerce instances. This includes listing files, uploading, downloading, and managing files across different WebDAV roots.

WebDAV Roots

The --root flag specifies the WebDAV directory:

• impex (default) - Import/Export directory
• temp - Temporary files
• cartridges - Code cartridges
• realmdata - Realm data
• catalogs - Product catalogs
• libraries - Content libraries
• static - Static resources
• logs - Application logs
• securitylogs - Security logs

Examples

List Files

# list files in the default IMPEX root
b2c webdav ls

# list files in a specific path
b2c webdav ls src/instance

# list files in the cartridges root
b2c webdav ls --root=cartridges

# list files with JSON output
b2c webdav ls --root=impex --json

Reading Log Files

Use the logs root to access instance log files:

# list all log files
b2c webdav ls --root=logs

# list log files with JSON output for parsing
b2c webdav ls --root=logs --json

# download a specific log file (e.g., customerror log)
b2c webdav get customerror-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log --root=logs

# download a log file to a specific local path
b2c webdav get error-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log --root=logs -o ./downloads/error.log

# output log file content to stdout (for piping to grep, etc.)
b2c webdav get customerror-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log --root=logs -o -

# pipe log content to grep to search for errors
b2c webdav get customerror-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log --root=logs -o - | grep "OrderNo"

# download security logs
b2c webdav ls --root=securitylogs
b2c webdav get security-blade0-1-20240115.log --root=securitylogs

# list archived logs (compressed after 3 days)
b2c webdav ls log_archive --root=logs

Log File Reference

Log File Naming Pattern

Log files follow this naming pattern:

<type>-<hostname>-appserver-<date>.log

Example: customerror-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log

Custom Log File Types

Files generated by script logging (dw.system.Logger):

Log Type	Generated By	Default State
customdebug	Logger.debug() / log.debug()	Disabled
custominfo	Logger.info() / log.info()	Disabled
customwarn	Logger.warn() / log.warn()	Always enabled
customerror	Logger.error() / log.error()	Always enabled
customfatal	log.fatal()	Always enabled

Custom Named Log Files

Created with Logger.getLogger(prefix, category):

custom-<prefix>-<hostname>-appserver-<date>.log

Example: custom-orderexport-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log

# list custom named log files
b2c webdav ls --root=logs | grep "custom-orderexport"

# download a custom named log
b2c webdav get custom-orderexport-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log --root=logs

System Log File Types

Log Type	Description
error	System errors in scripts, templates, platform
warn	Lock status, slot warnings, servlet warnings
info	System information
debug	Debug information (when enabled)
fatal	Critical system failures
api	API problems and violations
deprecation	Usage of deprecated APIs
jobs	Job status information
staging	Replication process information
quota	Quota warnings and limit violations
sql	SQL and replication issues
syslog	API processing, staging, import/export
sysevent	Appserver registration, cartridge logs

Log Retention and Archives

Location	Retention
/Logs/	Current logs (< 3 days old)
/Logs/log_archive/	Compressed logs (3-30 days)
Production/Staging	30 days
Security logs	90 days

# list current logs
b2c webdav ls --root=logs

# list archived (gzipped) logs
b2c webdav ls log_archive --root=logs

# download archived log
b2c webdav get log_archive/customerror-blade0-1-appserver-20240112.log.gz --root=logs

Security Logs

Security logs track authentication events:

# list security logs
b2c webdav ls --root=securitylogs

# download security log
b2c webdav get security-blade0-1-20240115.log --root=securitylogs -o - | grep "LOGIN"

Import/Export Logs

Located in IMPEX root under /log/:

# list import/export logs
b2c webdav ls log --root=impex

# download catalog import log
b2c webdav get log/Catalog-Import-20240115.log --root=impex

Common Log Queries

# find recent error logs
b2c webdav ls --root=logs | grep customerror

# search for specific order in error log
b2c webdav get customerror-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log --root=logs -o - | grep "ORD12345"

# search for payment errors
b2c webdav get customerror-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log --root=logs -o - | grep -i "payment"

# check job failures
b2c webdav get jobs-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log --root=logs -o - | grep -i "failed"

# check quota warnings
b2c webdav get quota-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log --root=logs -o - | grep "exceeded"

# check deprecated API usage
b2c webdav get deprecation-blade0-1-appserver-20240115.log --root=logs

Download Files

# download a file from IMPEX (default root)
b2c webdav get src/instance/export.zip

# download to a specific local path
b2c webdav get src/instance/export.zip -o ./downloads/export.zip

# download from a specific root
b2c webdav get customerror.log --root=logs

# output file content to stdout
b2c webdav get src/instance/data.xml -o -

Upload Files

# upload a file to IMPEX
b2c webdav put ./local-file.zip src/instance/

# upload to a specific root
b2c webdav put ./my-cartridge.zip --root=cartridges

Create Directories

# create a directory in IMPEX
b2c webdav mkdir src/instance/my-folder

# create a directory in a specific root
b2c webdav mkdir my-folder --root=temp

Delete Files

# delete a file
b2c webdav rm src/instance/old-export.zip

# delete from a specific root
b2c webdav rm old-file.txt --root=temp

Zip/Unzip Remote Files

# create a zip archive of a remote directory
b2c webdav zip src/instance/my-folder

# extract a remote zip archive
b2c webdav unzip src/instance/archive.zip
