Upgrading from SAP Web tools 6 SP1 Patch 4 to zed E-Commerce 7.0.2 requires knowledge of the Web tools product and should be completed by a person that performed the implementation or is familiar with it.

Customizations made to the Web tools distributed source code files will need to be reapplied to the zed E-Commerce files, therefore some programming knowledge will also be necessary if this was done.

Upgrade to zed E-Commerce 7.0.2

After downloading the zip file, extract the contents to the desktop of the web server and to the desktop of the Business One server, or wherever the Synch Manager is located and run setup.exe

 

Install the zed E-Commerce Installer

 

If a message asking if you would like to upgrade appears, click no and ensure that neither the Installer or Synch Manager are installed

If no message appears continue with the installation of the Installer using the setup program.

You can install the installer on the web server and the synch manager on the B1 server, just as you would a normal installation of SAP Web tools.

Continue the installation...

After the setup program is finished you should see the icons for the programs you chose to install on the desktop.

Next copy the instances.xml file from C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One Web tools\Installer to C:\Program Files\zedIT Solutions\zed Ecommerce and WebCRM\Installer. This file contains all the configuration data for the instance, including web files location, database connection info, and private key. We do this so that the zed E-Commerce Installer knows where the locations of these assets are, so it can upgrade them.

Return to website and enter response key and the site should now display.

 

Theme Slot Update

You may encounter an error when attempting to login to the new theme. This is due to the addition of a new content placeholder in the commonlogin master page used to show the Express Checkout login field. If the instance upgraded included a theme created in Web tools patch 4 and was set as the default theme, or if you directed the browser to this theme you would see an error indicating the commonlogin master page does not contain this content placeholder.

To correct this issue, follow the steps below.

1) Open the theme details and go to the masters tab, and click on the link for commonlogin.master page

2) The next window is the contents of the file, click the edit icon to edit
 

3) By default, the main slot content contains the new user and login user slots highlighted below

 

4) To update the theme's commonlogin master page to include the new content placeholder, copy the code below and replace the highlighted code above with it. Make a backup of the highlighted code if you had changed it, and integrate the new slot where desired

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="mainslot" ID="mainslotcontent" runat="server">
     <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
         <tr>
              <td width="100%" valign="top" colspan="2">
                   <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="messageslot" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
              </td>
         </tr>
         <tr>
              <td width="50%" valign="top">
                   <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="newuserslot" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
              </td>
              <td width="50%" valign="top">
                   <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="loginslot" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
              </td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
              <td width="100%" valign="top" colspan="2">
                    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="expressslot" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
              </td>
          </tr>
    </table>
</asp:Content>

5)When finished click save and click the Home icon in the Administration Toolbar to view the theme

6) Logout from the theme and return to /common/accounts/login.aspx the page should load successfully.

Uninstall Web tools Synch Manager

Ensure the Synchronization Service is stopped before continuing. If it is running, let it complete and then stop it.
