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

These short videos will walk you through the whole CompuTec AppEngine and CompuTec WebUp installation process.

Step 1: Install the CompuTec WebUp App

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

Step 2: 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 3: Install browser extensions

To use CompuTec WebUp, install the following browser extensions:

• CompuTec WebUp Manager – a browser extension used to create, edit, and test CompuTec WebUp configurations.
• CompuTec WebUp Client – a browser extension that extends the SAP Business One Web Client where the standard extensibility framework is limited.

Note

On SAP Business One Web Client 2602 and later, CompuTec WebUp extensions use the Web Client's authentication to communicate with CompuTec AppEngine. For these requests, you don't need the CompuTec WebUp Client browser extension. The extension is still required for other scenarios.

To install CompuTec WebUp browser extensions, follow these steps:

info

The extensions are available in the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons store under the CompuTec S.A. publisher. This is the recommended method for Firefox, Google Chrome and Chromium-based browsers, such as Microsoft Edge.

CompuTec WebUp Manager is not available for Mozilla Firefox. For consultant or key-user functionality, use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Manual installation using CompuTec installation packages is still available when required. For instructions, see Manual Browser Extension Installation.

• All configuration profiles and assignments are preserved during updates.
• Browser extensions installed from the Chrome Web Store or the Firefox Add-ons store are updated through the store. If you installed the extensions manually, you are prompted to update them when a new version is available.
• Maintain your CompuTec AppEngine and CompuTec WebUp versions up to date to ensure compatibility.
