Installation on Centric PXM™ OnPrem Systems via SVN

To install SAWSConnectors, start by connecting to your server via SSH. Navigate to the “modules” directory within your Centric PXM project folder. The default location is typically:

/var/www/CONTENTSERV/{{Your_Project_Name}}/modules/

Important: Before installing any specific connector, you must install the base connector called sawsconnector. This serves as the shared foundation for all other connectors.

svn checkout https://svn.saws.de/development/tags/sc/1.21/sawsconnector/stable sawsconnector/

Once the base connector is installed, you can proceed with installing your desired connectors. Below are the commands for the most common connectors:

Available Connectors

• OXID Connector: svn checkout https://svn.saws.de/development/tags/sc/1.21/oxidconnector/stable oxidconnector/
• GenericJSON Connector: svn checkout https://svn.saws.de/development/tags/sc/1.21/sawsgenericjson/stable sawsgenericjson/
• GenericXML Connector: svn checkout https://svn.saws.de/development/tags/sc/1.21/sawsgenericxml/stable sawsgenericxml/
• Intershop Connector: svn checkout https://svn.saws.de/development/tags/sc/1.21/sawsintershop/stable sawsintershop/

Version Note: The version number 1.21 represents the major/feature version of the installation. For the latest features and improvements, always check the Releases section on the SAWS website and use the newest released version.

Post-Installation Steps

After installing the connectors, ensure proper permissions by running the following command in the modules directory:

chown www-data:www-data ./ -R

This assigns the modules to the Centric group, ensuring smooth operation.

Updating Connectors

To update a connector, navigate to its folder and run:

svn update sawsconnector/

Since the connectors are checked out from the stable branch, running this command will always fetch the latest patch version.

Finalizing the Installation

After installation or updates, perform the following steps in your Centric system:

1. Run a data model update.
2. Deactivate and reactivate the plugin cache in the settings.

SAWS Service IP Configuration

Service Endpoints and IP Addresses

To ensure proper connectivity to SAWS services, configure your firewall or network settings to allow traffic to the following three proxy IP addresses. These IPs are used for all SAWS services via DNS load balancing:

---

Important Notes

1. All three IPs must be whitelisted in your network/firewall configuration. DNS resolution may direct traffic to any of these IPs based on availability.
2. The previous IP address for Blackbird (46.254.138.251) is no longer in use and should be removed from any configurations.
3. If connectivity issues arise, verify that all three IPs are accessible and not blocked by security policies.
