In this post, we will look at how to remove the sample projects from the Sitecore Experience Commerce 9.0.2 (Sitecore.Commerce.Engine.SDK.2.2.72).

Unlike previous versions, the SDK for 9 update 2 has been cleaned up a little bit. I want to remove Plugin.Sample.AdventureWorks, Plugin.Sample.Customers.CsMigration, Plugin.Sample.Customers.Upgrade, Plugin.Sample.Habitat and Plugin.Sample.Upgrade. For now, I want to keep Plugin.Sample.Payments.Braintree.

I posted some useful links at the bottom of this blog post. First extract Sitecore.Commerce.Engine.SDK.2.2.72.zip and make a copy of the extracted source.

Rename your solution and build to make sure the solution builds. Add the following NuGet packages to the Commerce Engine project: Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Coupons Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Journaling Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.SQL Sitecore.Commerce.Plugin.Tax

Next, go through all your configs and find where the sample projects were used and remove the config elements.

Your authoring configuration changes (PlugIn.Habitat.CommerceAuthoring-1.0.0.json):

1. 
   
   1. //{
   2. // "$type": "Plugin.Sample.Customers.CsMigration.ProfilesSqlPolicy, Plugin.Sample.Customers.CsMigration",

Global.json file changes:

   64. //},

Remove projects from the solution and remove the project references from the Commerce Engine solution.

Rebuild and deploy your commerce engine. Once that is done, Bootstrap and Initialize.
