How to create catalog aware ItemType in Hybris?

Scenario

Create an Item type which can have two versions(stage/online) like the product type. In simple word, it should be catalog aware.

Solution

We can declare any Item type as catalog aware using in *-items.xml
<itemtype code="MyConfiguratorSetting"  extends="GenericItem" autocreate="true" generate="true">
       <deployment table="ConfiguratorSettings" typecode="1301" />
       <custom-properties>
           <property name="catalogItemType"><value>java.lang.Boolean.TRUE</value></property>
           <property name="catalogVersionAttributeQualifier"><value>"catalogVersion"</value></property>
           <property name="uniqueKeyAttributeQualifier"><value>"code"</value></property>
       </custom-properties>
       <attributes>
           <attribute qualifier="code" type="java.lang.String">
               <description>Identifier</description>
               <persistence type="property"/>
               <modifiers read="true" write="true" search="true" optional="false" unique="true"/>
           </attribute>
           <attribute qualifier="catalogVersion" type="CatalogVersion">
               <description>Catalog Version</description>
               <modifiers optional="false" write="false" initial="true"/>
               <persistence type="property"/>
           </attribute>
           <attribute qualifier="configValue" type="java.lang.String">
               <description>configValue</description>
               <persistence type="property"/>
               <modifiers optional="false" write="false" initial="true" />
           </attribute>
       </attributes>
</itemtype>

Use of <custom-properties>

catalogItemType - To declare current itemType is catalogItemType
catalogVersionAttributeQualifier - An attribute from our itemType, which will qualify the catalog. In our case it's catalogVersion. 
uniqueKeyAttributeQualifier - An attribute from our itemType, which can define each record/instance as unique. In our case it's "code". But it also can be a combination of multiple fields.
