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.

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

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, Mozilla and Microsoft.

Step 4: Verify the integration

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

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

2. Navigate to the SAP Web Client page.

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

   

Note

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

Updates

• Updates are delivered automatically via the CompuTec 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.
