ShopSite TX 4.1
Screen Pack Installation Instructions

These instructions provide steps for installing and configuring the ShopSite TX screen pack on a Transact system. The screen pack allows ShopSite TX mall administrators to remotely manage the screens for ShopSite TX stores. The Transact system cannot process ShopSite TX stores until the screen pack is installed.

Instructions for installing the ShopSite TX software on a content server are contained in the ShopSite TX Content Server Installation Instructions. Once the software has been installed on both systems, the content server will be ready to offer sellers fast and powerful Web store creation coupled with industry-leading transaction processing and order tracking.

Installing the Screen Pack

  1. Pre-Installation Considerations

    2. The ShopSite TX screen pack must be installed on a working Transact system running version 4.0.1.2 through version 4.2.1. The screen pack will not work with earlier Transact versions.

  2. Important Notes on Installation and Operation

    3. All the scripts are designed to run under a KornShell (ksh). If you do not have the KornShell  installed on your system, you may need to edit the scripts to get them to run correctly.

    The screen pack makes edits to the Transact registry. Make a backup of the Transact registry (located in /tms-ts/conf/registry.asc) before you install the ShopSite TX screen pack. Also, make sure that no one else is making administrative changes to the registry directly or through the administration GUI screens.

  3. Download and Unpack the Install Files

    1. If you have not already done so, download the compressed installation file to the directory on the content server from which you will run the install. This must be a directory where CGI programs can execute and write. If you use FTP to retrieve the files, be sure to use a binary mode transfer.

    2. Unzip the install.tar.gz file.

      > gzip -df install.tar.gz

    3. Untar the install.tar file.

      > tar -xvf install.tar

  4. Installing the Screen Pack

    1. Log in as the Transact administrator.

    2. Go to the tms-ts subdirectory of the Transact installation.

    3. Copy the screen_pack_tms-ts.tar file from the install directory to the tms-ts directory on the Transact server.

    4. Untar the screen pack file:

      > tar xvf screen_pack_tms-ts.tar

    5. Source the transact.cshrc file in the tms-ts/conf directory.

      > source ./conf/transact.cshrc

    6. From the tms-ts directory, install the kit:

      > ./screen_pack/install.screen_pack

    7. Restart the Web server. You should see the message:

      OK: Screen_Pack installed in the registry
