Upgrading Liferay Commerce¶
To enhance the quality of your experience with Liferay Commerce, Liferay provides periodic product upgrades with bug fixes and new features. Users should consider regularly updating to the latest release.
Upgrading to Commerce 4.0¶
Starting with Liferay Commerce 3.0, Commerce is now bundled with Liferay DXP. To upgrade to Commerce 4.0, you must first upgrade your base Liferay DXP installation to DXP 7.4 and perform a search re-index.
Warning
After upgrading to 7.4, do not deploy the Commerce LPKG again. The Commerce 4.0 modules are bundled with 7.4. Deploying the LPKG causes conflicts.
To learn more about the DXP upgrade process, see Upgrade Basics. Once DXP is upgraded to 7.4, execute a re-index.
Prerequisite for Upgrading to Liferay Commerce 4.0¶
The CommerceCountry table is deprecated in Liferay Commerce 4.0 and is being replaced by the Country table. While the CommerceCountry table only required the name of the country, the Country table requires the name and the Alpha-2 (a2) and Alpha-3 (a3) code for each country.
The CommerceCountry table may be populated if you are using the Minium Accelerator or if you are using your own values. If you are not using the Minium Accelerator, the table can be empty. As a prerequisite before upgrading to Liferay DXP 7.4, you must ensure that each country in the CommerceCountry table has its ISO code pre-populated. See Country Codes (ISO) for more information.
Executing a Post-Upgrade Reindex¶
After upgrading to DXP 7.4, execute a full search re-index.
Open the Global Menu, and go to Control Panel → Search.
Under the Index Actions tab, click Execute for Reindex all search indexes.
Once the reindex has finished, verify it was successful by going to Commerce → Products in the Global Menu and confirming that all products are displayed.
Upgrading to Commerce 3.0 from 2.1 and Below¶
To upgrade to Commerce 3.0, you must first upgrade your base Liferay DXP installation to DXP 7.3 and then execute a search re-index.
Warning
After upgrading to 7.3, do not deploy the Commerce LPKG again. The Commerce 3.0 modules are bundled with 7.3. Deploying the LPKG causes conflicts.
Executing a Post-Upgrade Reindex¶
After upgrading to DXP 7.3, execute a full search re-index.
Open the Global Menu and go to Control Panel → Search.
Under the Index Actions tab, click on Execute for Reindex all search indexes.
Once the reindex has finished, verify it was successful by going to Commerce → Products in the Global Menu and confirming that all products are displayed.
Upgrading to Commerce 2.1.x¶
Liferay Commerce provides a seamless upgrade process to Commerce 2.1.x, whether from version 1.1.x or 2.0.x.
Note
Upgrading from 1.1.x to 2.1.x does not require an incremental upgrade to 2.0.x.
Before upgrading to Commerce 2.1.x, you must first be running the latest fix pack of Liferay DXP 7.2. For example, if upgrading to Liferay Commerce Enterprise 2.0.6 - upgrading Liferay DXP to Fix Pack 14 is required. To learn about upgrading to DXP 7.2, see Upgrade Basics.
Apply the Latest Fix Pack¶
Subscription Required
Liferay provides the latest fix pack releases for download at the Help Center. Once downloaded, you can apply the fix pack using the Liferay Patching Tool. See Installing Patches for more information.
If Liferay DXP was installed manually (for example, on WebLogic), see Installing Patches on the Liferay DXP 7.1 WAR.
Then, follow these step to verify the fix pack was successfully installed:
Navigate to the
${liferay.home}/patching-toolfolder.Verify that the fix pack has been applied by executing the following:
Linux/Unix:
./patching-tool.sh infoWindows:
patching-tool info
Detailed patch list: [ -] dxp-12-7110 :: Currently not installed; Won't be installed: dxp-14 contains the fixes included in this one :: Built for LIFERAY [*I] dxp-14-7110 :: Installed; Will be installed. :: Built for LIFERAY
Fix Packs are cumulative in nature and include all previously release fix packs. After patching, remove Liferay DXP’s cache of deployed code by deleting the contents of the ${liferay.home}/work folder. See the next section on how to remove other stale data.
