Upgrade Notes

The Upgrade Guide provides general advice on upgrading Elastic Path projects. Specific upgrade considerations for Core Commerce 6.15.2 are covered below:

  • Projects upgrading from Core Commerce 6.15.0 or 6.15.1 may find it easier to apply patches rather than doing a full upgrade. The necessary patch files can be obtained by contacting Elastic Path customer support.
    • Projects upgrading from 6.15.1 will need to apply the patches in CUST-1117-EP-Commerce-6.15.2-patch.zip.
    • Projects upgrading upgrading from 6.15.0 will need to first apply the patches in CUST-1112-EP-Commerce-6.15.1-patch.zip followed by the patches in CUST-1117-EP-Commerce-6.15.2-patch.zip.
  • Projects upgrading from earlier versions should follow the upgrade instructions in What's New for Core Commerce 6.15.0

Known Issues

  • MS SQL Server validation query is missing from Grandparent pom.xml. This leads to an unexpanded variable placeholder in Cortex's Tomcat context.xml file when running against MS SQL Server. This prevents Cortex from starting up in a development environment. To work around this, add the bolded line below to your settings.xml file in your mssql-dev-db profile.
    Note: You will need to add the entire configuration if you are using the default values provided by Grandparent pom.xml.
    <profile>
    <id>mssql-dev-db</id>
    <properties>
    …
    <epdb.validation.query>SELECT 1</epdb.validation.query>
    </properties>
    </profile>
