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 reindex.

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 reindex.

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.

The CommerceCountry table has more fields than the Country table.

Executing a Post-Upgrade Reindex

After upgrading to DXP 7.4, execute a full search reindex.

Open the Global Menu, and go to Control Panel → Search.
Under the Index Actions tab, click Reindex for 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 reindex.

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 reindex.

Open the Global Menu and go to Control Panel → Search.
Under the Index Actions tab, click on Execute for Reindex all search indexes.

For instance, if upgrading to Liferay Commerce 2.0.7 - upgrade Liferay DXP 7.1 to fix pack 16 or above. If you are using Liferay DXP 7.2, you must apply fix pack 2 or 3. To learn about upgrading DXP, see Upgrade Basics. See the table below to understand the upgrade paths.

Liferay Commerce 2.1.3	Liferay DXP 7.1 FP 24+
Liferay Commerce 2.2.0	Liferay DXP 7.2 FP 13
Liferay Commerce 2.2.1	Liferay DXP 7.2 FP 15

When upgrading from Commerce 2.0.7 to 2.1.3, 2.2.0 or 2.2.1, you must first upgrade to Commerce 2.1.0. Commerce versions 2.1.3+ only support Liferay DXP 7.1.x and Commerce versions 2.2.0+ only support Liferay DXP 7.2.x.

Applying the Appropriate Fix Pack

Subscription

The appropriate fix packs for Liferay are available to 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 steps to verify the fix pack was successfully installed:

Navigate to the [Liferay Home]/patching-tool folder.

Verify that the fix pack has been applied by executing the following:

Linux/Unix: ./patching-tool.sh info
Windows: 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 the fix packs previously released. After patching, remove Liferay DXP’s cache of deployed code by deleting the contents of the [Liferay Home]/work folder. See below for how to remove other stale data.
