Document last saved:

Introduction

This document describes the procedure for upgrading EPiServer Commerce from version 1.0 SP1 to 1 R2 SP1 (for EPiServer CMS 6 R2). NOTE that this procedure only supports upgrade from EPiServer Commerce 1.0 SP1, meaning that if you have version 1.0 of EPiServer Commerce, you must first install version 1.0 SP1.

Prerequisites

Check the following requirements and considerations before you start the upgrade:

  • The database server must have full text search service enabled.
  • After installing EPiServer Commerce 1.0 SP1, you need to open Commerce Manager from your browser and log in. When logging in to Commerce Manager the first time, the system will do some setup changes and generate new database tables. This step is necessary, otherwise the further upgrade process will fail.
  • If you use DisplayTemplate on Commerce Manager 1.0 SP1, you need to update the template file path to the correct path in the new version. Refer to the EPiServer Commerce 1 R2 installation documentation for more information on display templates.
  • If your site has Quartz Service installed, make sure to stop the service before upgrading.
  • If your site has custom business foundation objects, refer to the section  "Import and Export Business Foundation Objects" below.
  • If your order system has existing orders before the upgrade, refer to the section "Managing Existing Orders After the Upgrade" below.
