Hybirs - Category management - OOTB - sap-commerce-cloud

I am looking for a Hybris OOTB extension that gives users manage categories at ease.
Category creation or update
Expand and lookup for super and subcategories and its products (Basic tree view in BackOffice is extremely slow and not friendly)
Basic export functionality
Is there any cockpit or BackOffice extensions you recommend that I should take a look at.

In the newer Hybris version you only have the backoffice. There aro no other cockpits anymore.
When you login in the backoffice you can choose a 'mask' at the top of the backoffice (for example the Product-Cockpit). But the masks are still in the backoffice.
You could implement your own Category-Cockpit mask where you can handle your use-cases.
Keep in mind that for the backoffice there is a own Solr Config for Backoffice index which is created to handle the belonging data in the backoffice fast. So maybe in your case it makes sense to add the categories here as well for faster access.

Try adding the platformbackoffice and pcmbackoffice extensions. The Products view and Assortment view should be useful.

What is the difference between Backoffice and Cockpit frameworks?

Recently i've started learning hybris and come across these two terms.I feel both are same because they both are related to User Interface.
somebody please help me understand how backoffice and cockpit are different.
Since Hybris 6, Backoffice is the new more generic UI for managing your Hybris Store. This is the successor of HMC. (Hybris Management Console) Cockpits will become deprecated in a few versions. Using them, you have to handle several different extensions (Product Cockpit, Customer Service Cockpit, CMS Cockpit etc..), which use different frameworks and styles.
The main idea of having different cockpits is to separate different dedicated teams and concerns. Also they have some customizations, which are much more usable, than HMC. With Backoffice, you can create the same functionality with different modules.
In general, if you start a new shop, i would recommend using the Backoffice. This is the new way to administrate you shop.
backoffice is a new framework which is a replacement for old cockpits.
backoffice advantages:
the new architecture allows developer to focus and spend more time on important things (application logic) instead of all secondary tasks (e.g. security - authentication and authorization, notifications etc.)
it offers a lot of standard reusable components so you can create new applications faster (from ready blocks):
actions: create, delete, search etc.
editors: decimal editor, text editor, reference editor etc.
widgets: collection browser, border layout, explorer tree etc.
your applications will be more consistent and intuitive, because they use the same components
it groups applications in one place, so the client does not need to know many URLs (he can open one application and everything will be in one place)

eCommerce : Product configurator under Hybris platform

I have to implement product configurator in hybris platform that allowing users customization front office interface (product details).
Like changing color of product, size, make text and managing prices.
I'm looking actually for open source product desinger.
Anyone has an experience with any integrated framework or any other recommendations ?
Kind regards,

If you are not using SAP CPQ which is integrated with Hybris out of the box, you can have a look at openCPQ
Managing the sizes, prices etc of products is performed via the productcockpit. Changes you make here will be reflected in the Accelerator storefront. This is also extensible and customisable.

Limit the list of views in a Document library in WSS 3.0

Is there a way in WSS 3.0, Windows Server 2003 to restrict in a document library the list of Views a given user or group is allowed to select/use?
We have defined document libraries and Views that show only the documents a user or group is allowed to see. The problem we have is that any user could select a View that is meant for a different group.
And upgrading to MOSS Enterprise is not an option for now.
In your question you say you have views that "show only the documents a user or group is allowed to see." And the problem is other users can see these views, and therefore see documents they should not. It sounds like the bigger issue you have is using views for security.
There are any number of ways a user can see a document that isn't presented to them in a view. If your intention is to prevent users from seeing certain documents your best options are to use separate document libraries and set permissions accordingly (which inherently gets around your view problem) or put your documents in folders and set item level security on the folders.
As far as your question, I think the answer is no, you cannot prevent a user with permission to a document library from seeing its public views. If a user has permission to a library they have permission to the views as well.
If you're really not worried about security you could always create a custom page to view documents through, and on that page limit the views that are presented in the UI. How you'd approach that depends on your skill set and what tools you have. These types of solutions are messy though, since it relies on your users going through your custom interface, and there are many ways SharePoint will take your users to the OOB pages instead.

Which Magento Domain Objects Use Layout XML Updates?

Is there a canonical list (public or private-that-you're-willing-to-share) of Magento objects (and their database persistance tables) that allow you add Layout XML Updates to the system? I realize there's an almost infinite number with third party modules, but I'm specifically interested in what ships with CE, Professional, and Enterprise Edition.
In case that's not clear, consider Magento's CMS pages. In the CMS admin there's a textarea for
Layout Update XML
in the Design tab.
This XML is persisted to the database with the CMS Page object, and these updates are added to the Layout object when that page is loaded.
There's multiple places in the Magento admin where this happens. I'm looking for a list of all of them.
I had trouble filtering by a specific branch with Google's search operators, but this is a decent start: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22custom_layout_update%22+site%3Asvn.magentocommerce.com
Not many that I can see,
Mage/Catalog/Model/Category.php
Mage/GoogleBase/Model/Attribute.php
And the CMS module as mentioned above.
