Initial Setup for Accelerators and Boosters

 

Before you can use Accelerators and Boosters, some initial setup must be done from the CIC Studio.

  1. Create the required connector Projects in your workspace. Use naming conventions shown here.
    Note: this must be done prior to running the wizard setup steps.

    Connector Type Project Name
    Amazon Market Place (AMP) com.cleo.cic.connector.amp
    Shopify com.cleo.cic.connector.shopify
    NetSuite com.cleo.cic.connector.netsuite


  2. Download (Checkout) the template.wizard Project from the Plan.io repository (https://cleo.plan.io/svn/template-wizard) into your workbench. Once checked out, the Project should appear in your CIC Studio’s Project Explorer.

  3. Expand the resources package and open the wizard-input.properties file, shown here. Several properties must be defined and are described below. Properties will be different for Application and Network (X12) Accelerator types, as well as for Boosters.

Booster/Cloud Application properties

  • product_type= (enter either accelerator or booster)
  • external_entity_type (Indicates the type of Accelerator being used. Choices are app or X12.)
  • customer_name  
  • backend_entity  (Indicates the backend system being used in the Accelerator.)
  • external_entity = (Indicates the external system being used in the Accelerator. For example, in the NetSuite to Amazon Seller Central Accelerator, amazon would be the external system.)
  • booster_entity= (enter the type of booster. Example: amp)

X12 Properties (in addition to the above)

  • inbound.doctypes = (enter supported EDI doc types. For example: 850, 810, etc.)
  • outbound.doctypes = (enter supported EDI doc types.)

    5. Open the src Package and run WizardSetupLauncher.java (Right-click and select Run As Java App). This automatically checks out required Accelerator-related Projects.

    Notes: This process may fail during the first attempt.  In case this happens, simply re-run the java program. This does not affect any Projects that already have been successfully downloaded.  If the failure persists, contact Cleo Support.

    You can check the status of the downloaded Projects in the logs folder using log or report files. The report.html files provide helpful information on the Projects. A partial example is shown here.

    You can also open the most recent time-stamped log file to see the download status for all Projects.  

    Note:     If you're not seeing content in the folder, refresh the Project.

    6. Finally, the Accelerator Projects must be individually imported from your Workspace into CIC Studio in order for them to display in the Project Explorer. To do so, select File>Open Project in File System from the Studio menu.

    This must be done for each Project. When complete, all Projects should display in your Project Explorer.
