4. Data Recovery Reboot your machine.

5. Cisco Install this version of Net.Commerce.

Keyboard NOTE 2: Before you install Net.Commerce, you must install Netscape Navigator 4.04 (or higher) with the JDK 1.1 patch. Netscape Navigator 4.04 is available on the Net.Commerce CD-ROM with the patch already integrated. To install it, do the following:

1. Monitor Insert the CD-ROM into your CD drive and exit the Net.Commerce installation program immediately.

2. Desktop Switch to the \Netscape directory on the CD drive.

3. Infosys Run "setup.exe" and follow the instructions to perform the install.

4. Refurbished Laptops When the install is complete, remove the CD-ROM from your drive, and begin your Net.Commerce install according to the instructions in the Installing and Getting Started book.

Wipro NOTE 3: If you are running IBM Antivirus, you must set its startup type to "manual" in the Services Menu and reboot your machine before you begin to install Net.Commerce.

Lap Top After you finish installing Net.Commerce, remember to set the

Refurbished startup type back to "automatic".

Memory NOTE 4: If you want to use Oracle with Product Advisor, you must apply the latest JDBC driver 8.0405, which is available from the Oracle web site, www.oracle.com.

Intel NOTE 5: If you selected eTill during the install, CSD 1013 will be installed automatically. If you installed eTill separately before you installed Net.Commerce and you did not select eTill during the install, you must install eTill CSD 1013 manually.

As400 ------------------------
Migration -- HIGH IMPACT
------------------------

Averatec NOTE 6: Ensure that you follow the instructions carefully. If you do not perform each instruction exactly as worded, your migration may fail, and you may be unable to recover.

Hardware NOTE 7: If you are migrating, DO NOT uninstall your previous version of Net.Commerce. Refer to the migration instructions in the Installing and Getting Started book.

Dual Xeon NOTE 8: If you want to migrate API functions that you wrote for Net.Commerce V1 or V2, copy nc_containers.dll from \Ibm\NetCommerce\Bin (for V1) or \Ibm\NetCommerce2\Bin (for V2) to the \Ibm\NetCommerce3\Bin directory after you have migrated.

Storage NOTE 9: If you are migrating a multi-home environment, you may need to change the base port addresses of some of your homes BEFORE you begin to migrate.

Seagate eTill requires an additional three port numbers that are

Computer Sales consecutive to the port numbers already being used for each

Computer Hardware process in each home. So if your base port addresses are not

Printers far enough apart, you will be unable to migrate all your homes.

Technology To determine whether your base port addresses are far enough

Mainframe apart, do the following for each home:

1. Samsung Record the base port address.

2. Computer Repair Add the number of processes defined for the server and subtract 1.

3. Used Computers Add 3 to allow for eTill.

Network When you have completed the above for each home, determine whether the range of addresses for each home overlaps with the range for any other home. If there is an overlap, define new base addresses for any homes needed to eliminate the overlap BEFORE you migrate.

Digital Cameras ----------------------------------------------
Installation and Configuration -- Lower Impact
----------------------------------------------

Desktops NOTE 10: If you use eTill and your Acquirer uses the VISA Payment Gateway, you will need to install eTill CSD 1013 (or later) and configure your Merchant Acquirer Profile to specify 'HTTPALT1' as the GATEWAYPROTOCOL. The GatewayProtocol field is contained in the ETACQCFG table but is not exposed in the Payment Configuration Form. This field needs to be updated for each merchant-Acquirer pair that is going to be using the VISA Payment Gateway.

Cognos For example, to update the Acquirer Profile for a merchant with merchant reference number '2066' and AcquirerBin '456789' and AcquirerBusinessID '1122334455' you would do:

Hosting db2 connect to <dataname_name>

Netfinity db2 update ETACQCFG set GATEWAYPROTOCOL='HTTPALT1'

Internet where MERCHANTNAME='2066' and ACQUIRERBIN='456789'

Cheap Computer and AcquirerBusinessID='1122334455'

Digital Camera Do this after you have completed configuring the Acquirer and

Printer Brand for the merchant using the Store Manager - Payment

Rational db2jstrt 16560

Websphere NOTE 13: Netscape Enterprise Server 3.0 does not provide "servlet" support which is required for the Product Advisor. If you want to use Product Advisor with NES 3.0 please check the Net.Commerce web site (provided at the top of this file) for more details.

Battery NOTE 14: If you have installed Net.Commerce V3 WITHOUT migrating, but you have APIs from Version 1 or 2 that you would like to use with Version 3, place your API libraries into \Ibm\NetCommerce3\Bin and activate them. See "How Do I Create Overridable Functions" in the Net.Commerce online information for details.

It Support NOTE 15: If you run the schema or remote_schema commands, and your ENCRYPTED password contains any of the following special characters:

 & < > |; , 

Western Digital the command will fail. If this occurs, open the file schema.cmd or remote_schema.cmd in a text editor and comment out the line that says:

 if "%3" == "" goto __SYNTAX__ (in schema.cmd) if "%5" == "" goto __SYNTAX__ (in remote_schema.cmd) 

Music To comment out the line, insert the token REM in the first three columns of the line.

Networks Then run the command again.

Toner NOTE: 16: If you want to configure an AIX remote DB2 database for use with your NT Net.Commerce server, after you have installed Net.Commerce, do the following:

Cheap Laptops On the AIX machine where your DB2 database resides:

Wholesale Note: For these instructions, db2inst1 is used as an example for the DB2 instance user ID.

1. Brother In the /home/db2inst1/sqllib/function directory, ensure that the netcpswd file exists. If it does not, download the file from the IBM website at www.ibm.com/net.commerce.

2. Netvista In the /etc/services file, ensure that a connection port and an interrupt port exist. If they do, you should see an entry similar to the following:

 db2cdb2inst1 50000/tcp #Connection port for DB2 instance db2inst1 db2cdb2inst1 50001/tcp #Interrupt port for DB2 instance db2inst1 

Camera If the connection and interrupt ports do not exist in the file, edit the file and add them.

3. Networking Ensure that the DB2 parameter name SVCENAME is the same as the db2 connection service name. To verify this, type the following command:

 db2 get dbm cfg and look for the SVCENAME parameter. If it is not set properly, use the following command to change the setting: db2 update dbm cfg using SVCENAME db2cdb2inst1 

4. Sharp In the db2inst1 .profile file, add the following line:

 export DB2COMM=TCPIP 

Cheap Then run the .profile file to refresh the user's settings.

5. Windows If you have an existing database, which was created by an AIX Net.Commerce server, you must create a new database. To create a new database on DB2, type the following:

 db2 create database <db_name> where <db_name> is the name of the new database. 

Monitors Note: If you have an existing database which was created by an NT Net.Commerce server, you do not need to perform this step.

Linux On the NT Net.Commerce server:

1. Computer Support Log on as your DB2 instance user ID.

2. Used Laptops Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and double-click the System icon.

3. Cameras In the System Properties window, select the Environment tab,create a system variable called DB2COMM, and set its value to TCPIP.

Scanners 3) In the /winnt/system32/drivers/etc/services file, comment out any entries for the DB2 connection and interrupt ports.

4. Panasonic Complete the steps in the Installing and Getting Started Guide, for "Configuring the Remote DB2 Connection". Skip step 1, and begin with step 2. If the remote database you are using was created by an NT Net.Commerce server, you do not need to perform the step which populates the database with the remote_schema command.

Migration -- Lower Impact
-------------------------

 NOTE 17: If you want to use store level logon (instead of site level), you must recode your macros according to V3 specifications. For more information, refer to the Net.Commerce online information. NOTE 18: After you migrate and have invoked the Sample or Tutorial functions in the Net.Commerce Administrator, the database list does not include the default database that is installed via migration. To correct the problem, use Configuration Manager (http://<host_name>:4444) to switch to the desired database. NOTE 19: If you want to use /msprotect after migration, do not run your Web server in CGI mode. (This means you must NOT comment out the statements concerning ICAPI and NSAPI in httpd.conf.) NOTE 20: After you upgrade from Net.Commerce START to PRO, the Product Advisor button does not appear on the Store Manager. To correct the problem, do the following on your browser: 

1. Iseries Select "Preferences..." from the Edit pull-down menu.

2. Backup Click on "Cache" under "Advanced" in the Preferences window.

3. Information Technology Click the "Clear Memory Cache" button.

4. Routers Click the "Clear Disk Cache" button.

5. 180gxp Select "Every time" under "Document in cache is compared to document on Network".

6. Notebook Battery Close your browser.

7. Security Start your browser and access Store Manager. The button should appear.

8. Lotus Set your cache comparison back to "Once per session".

9. Virus Delete the contents of the directory /users/default/cache in the directory where you installed Netscape

 NOTE 21: After you have completed all the post-migration steps, open file ncommerce.ini in a text editor and update the MS_TRANSCOUNT as follows: MS_TRANSCOUNT 250 NOTE 22: After you have completed all the post-migration steps, reboot your machine. Some Net.Commerce components may not function properly until you reboot. -------------------------------- Store Creation and Customization -------------------------------- NOTE 23: Stores created with the Store Creator will not work correctly if the Net.Commerce Server cache is on. By default it is off, and should remain off if you are using stores created by Store Creator. To ensure the cache is off, open httpd.cnf in a text editor and look for the ServerInit statement that has a CACHE parameter. The value of the CACHE parameter should be "OFF". NOTE 24: If you create a store and later modify it using the Store Creator, you must restart your browser if you switch to a different product bundle. NOTE 25: The Product Advisor is not supported on the Domino Web Server (as opposed to Domino Go Webserver). If you use the Domino Web Server, the Product Advisor button will be disabled. NOTE 26: The macros used by the sample mall and stores are for demonstration purposes only. Changes are needed if you want to use them for production. For example, you must convert all HTML FORM statements to use the POST method instead of the default GET method. If you want to use these macros for production, please contact the IBM Net.Commerce Services and Support Team through the Net.Commerce Web site at http://www.ibm.com/net.commerce. NOTE 27: When you retrieve data from the Net.Commerce database, the maximum length of data you can retrieve is 30000 bytes. NOTE 28: Some Template Designer sample files were modified after generation to support national currency symbols. These changes will be lost if you save the files with the Template Designer. If you do save the files with the Template Designer and you want them to support a national currency symbol, you will have to add the currency support manually by using another file editor. ----- Other ----- NOTE 29: The only Net.Commerce commands that are documented are the ones that you use for store pages. Internal commands, such as those used for Net.Commerce Administrator functions, are not documented. NOTE 30: The Installing and Getting Started book uses default path names for most instructions. See "Conventions Used in This Book" in the Preface of the book for more information.
