Administrators
Administrators with register type S or A (Site administrator or Administrators,
respectively) that also belongs to an access group must have their profile type
set to B (Business user).
This is because all future administrators created in Organization Administration
Console will have profile type B. This can be done with the following SQL:
update users set profiletype='B'
where registertype in ('A','S')
and users_id in (select users_id from accmbrgrp)
Role changes
Some of the roles in WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 are no longer available in
WebSphere Commerce V5.6. Table 6-5 lists the WebSphere Commerce Suite
V5.1 and the roles that should be used in WebSphere Commerce V5.6.
Table 6-5 Roles that are not included in WebSphere Commerce V5.6
Refer to Migration Guide for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 - migrating from
WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 for more information on the details regarding
role migration.
The recommended approach to the roles, that are not included in WebSphere
Commerce V5.6, is to replace them with roles which have the same function.
If a role is found by the migration script, and not found in WebSphere Commerce
V5.6, it is migrated as a user-defined role.
Our application had two users with the following roles which needed to be
changed:
1. Order Clerk
2. Merchandising Manager
WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1
role
WebSphere Commerce V5.6 role
Order clerk (-5) Customer Service Supervisor (-14)
Store Developer (-7) Site Administrator (-1)
