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.

Pre-Installation Considerations

The ShopSite TX screen pack should be installed on a working Transact system running version 4.2.1. The screen pack will work with Transact versions as early as 4.0.1.11, but 4.2.1 is highly recommended because of its support for localization and Y2K compliance. You must have Transact version 4.2.1 (or greater) and ShopSite version 4.2.1 (or greater) to support non-English stores.

Important Notes on Installation and Operation

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.

Download and Unpack the Install Files

1. If you have not already done so, download the zip file for your server platform to the directory on the Transact 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. If you are going to install a language pack, also download the zip file for that language.

2. Unzip the install.tar.gz file.

   > gzip -df install.tar.gz

3. Unzip the language zip file (only if installing a language pack).

   > gzip -df tx-italiano.zip

4. Untar the install.tar file.

   > tar -xvf install.tar

Install 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

Install Language Packs

This step is only required if you are planning on hosting non-English stores with ShopSite TX.

1. Log in as the Transact administrator.

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

3. Copy the language tar file, such as screen_pack_tms-ts-italiano.tar, from the install directory to the tms-ts directory on the Transact server.

4. Untar the language screen pack file:

   > tar xvf screen_pack_tms-ts-italiano.tar

Copy Install Files to the Content Server

You have completed installing the ShopSite TX screen pack. You must now copy the ShopSite content server install files to the content server. From the directory in which you unzipped the original file, copy or move these files to the content server:

Now install the content server software by following the ShopSite TX Content Server Installation Instructions.
