Installation and Activation

This guide walks you through installing and activating the CompuTec WebUp extension within the CompuTec AppEngine Framework.

Overview

The CompuTec WebUp solution is made up of three key components:

• CompuTec WebUp App: Handles customization ana automation logic, and it stores configuration settings.
• CompuTec WebUp Manager: Provides a user interface for creating, editing, and testing configurations.
• CompuTec WebUp Client: Extends the SAP Business One Web Client where the standard extensibility framework is limited.

Before you start

Before installing CompuTec WebUp, make sure the following prerequisites are met:

• Check if CompuTec AppEngine is installed and configured. Follow the AppEngine installation guide and AppEngine configuration guide for detailed instructions.
• Make sure that the company is active in AppEngine, and the SAP Web Client is configured. For full instructions, see the configuration guide..

Step 1: Install the WebUp App

To install the WebUp App directly from the AppEngine Store, follow the app installation instructions.
The installation process is fully automated and managed within AppEngine.

Step 2: Configure CORS in the SAP Web Client

When activating your company in AppEngine, set up CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) for the Web Client:

1. In the AppEngine Administration Panel, go to Configuration > Advanced Configuration.

   

2. In the CORS Allowed Origins field, enter your SAP Web Client address.

   

3. Restart AppEngine to apply changes.

Step 3: Set up Content Security Policy

Make sure that the Content Security Policy (CSP) configuration in the SAP Web Client includes all required entries. It’s pre-filled with basic data, and you’ll have to add your own CSP entries:

1. In the AppEngine Administration Panel, navigate to System > System Details.

   

2. Click on the Required CSP Entries for Web Client link.

   

3. Here, you can find all the required entries for SAP Web Client Content Security Policy.

   

4. Copy the entries and close the window.

5. Open SAP Business One Web Client and click on your profile icon in the upper right corner of the interface.

   

6. Navigate to Settings > General Settings.

   

7. Paste the copied entries to the Content Security Policy field.

   

8. Refresh the SAP Business One Web Client page to apply the changes.

Step 4: Enable Developer Mode

If you plan to customize the user interface using CompuTec WebUp Manager, you must enable Developer Mode in the SAP Web Client.

1. Click on your profile icon in the upper right corner of the SAP Web Client interface and choose Settings.

   

2. Go to Extensibility.

   

3. Turn on the Developer Mode toggle.

   

4. Click Save.

Step 5: Install browser extensions

You’ll need to install two extensions:

• CompuTec WebUp Client – for end users
• CompuTec WebUp Manager – for consultants and key users

note

These extensions are currently not available in public stores. Install them manually using the provided installation package and this guide until they are validated by Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge.

Step 6: Verify the integration

After installation, confirm that both the AppEngine plugin and the browser extension are active and communicating.

1. Pin the WebUp extension to your browser toolbar for easy access.

2. Navigate to the SAP Web Client page.

3. Click the WebUp extension icon to activate the integration.

   

Note

If you were already on the SAP Web Client page before installing the WebUp browser extension, refresh the page before activating the extension.

Updates

• Updates are delivered automatically via the AppEngine Store.
• All configuration profiles and assignments are preserved during updates.
• If a new version of the browser extension is available, you’ll be prompted to update it after installation.
• Maintain your AppEngine and WebUp versions up to date to ensure compatibility.
