What should a Digital Developer verify to ensure uploaded cartridges execute as expected?

To ensure that uploaded cartridges execute as expected in Salesforce B2C Commerce, verifying that the Active Server setting is enabled for the server connection is crucial. The Active Server setting indicates whether a specific server instance is currently active and can process requests. If this setting is disabled, the server will not respond to any incoming requests, which means that even if the cartridge is uploaded successfully, it won't execute.

Having the Active Server setting enabled allows the system to recognize the cartridge and integrate it into the running application. This is particularly important because development and testing often occur on one server, and any changes made, such as uploading new cartridges, need to be conducted on an active environment where their effects can be observed.

Other aspects, such as server connection credentials or the cartridge compatibility with the current version, while important in their own right, do not directly ensure execution as reliably as the Active Server setting does. If the server is inactive, no amount of correct credentials or cartridge compatibility would allow for the cartridge to function correctly.
