How to Download a Prefilled Connector Installer Through a Link

Purpose:

The purpose of this wiki is to show how to download a connector installer files through a link.

Overview:

The connector installer can be left empty or prefilled with configured settings. There are two ways to prefill the installer; login as reporting account or connector account.

Note:

In general, before you access any resource from a saas server, like /web or /peconfig or /connectorinstall or anything else, LOGIN TO WHITEBOARD FIRST and then access any other resource you want, so you have a valid session.

How to Download an Empty Connector Installer:

Go to <server that user belongs to>.shoplogix.com/web/connectorinstall after logging in as any account, and it will give you the latest connector installer.

ex. qa.shoplogix.com/web/connectorinstall

Configuration BEFORE Downloading a Prefilled Connector Installer

There are two ways to receive a prefilled connector installer. Each way will need to be configured beforehand to prefill the installer.

  1. Logging in as reporting account

  • The connector config file needs to be set up with password and proper version number

ex.

<Configuration Account="CN_IAColdfort" Password="NeedsToBeConfigured">

    <ServerUrl>https://saas56.shoplogix.com/web/bupload.axd</ServerUrl>

    <Frequency>300</Frequency>

    <Version>4.0.0.1008</Version>

    <VersionUrl>https://saas56.shoplogix.com/shared/PN360.all_4.0.0.1008.dt4</VersionUrl>

    <FileHandling>Overwrite</FileHandling>

    <SendLogs>2</SendLogs>

    <UseRealtimeUpload>0</UseRealtimeUpload>

    <MaxAgeFileDays>60</MaxAgeFileDays>

    <IgnoreCertificateValidation>1</IgnoreCertificateValidation>

</Configuration>

 

  • If you are logged in as a reporting account, there MUST be a machine configured that belongs to the desired connector account that the reporting account 

  • aka. configure the machines on the server and the access rules.

  1. Logging in as connector account

  • This method is a bit easier to setup as it only requires to setup the connector config. It does not require there to be a machine configured on the server.

How to Download a Prefilled Connector Installer

Once the server is setup correctly, Go to /web/connectorinstall/<connector account> to download.

ex. qa.shoplogix.com/web/connectorinstall/CN_Simulator

This installer now should have the prefilled information, unless there was a previously installed version. Then it will grab the previously used settings.
