Miva Production Release 7

Overview

Miva Merchant is scheduled to release Production Release 7 shortly to provide PA-DSS Compliance of their payment processing system. If the user chooses to install the new release of the Miva shopping cart software, they will also need to obtain and install Export Module Release 3.500 (or greater) for the Order Manager to obtain payment information from Miva. The latest Export Module can be obtained from the download gateway, with a current support contract. Be aware that the 3.500 (or greater) PR7 Export Module is not downward compatible with previous versions of Miva Merchant. The user may choose to decline the upgrade and continue to operate with the current version of Miva and Order Manager Export Module.

Upgrading to Miva Production Release 7

What should I do when prompted to upgrade to Production Release 7?
Electing to Install the PR7 Upgrade

 

  1. Suspend all activity between the Order Manager and the Miva Merchant shopping cart for the duration of the upgrade.

  2. Before upgrading to PR7, visit the Stone Edge Technologies download gateway to obtain the latest (3.500 or greater) release of the Export Module for Miva Merchant PR7 and install the module into the shopping cart. Be aware that the 3.500 or greater release of the Miva Export Module is not downward compatible with earlier versions of Miva, so the module should not be installed until you are ready to upgrade the shopping cart.

  3. If the upgrade process begins before the new module is installed, the following warning message will be issued by the Miva upgrade process:

You have a version of the Stone Edge Order Manager’s Export Module installed that is not compatible with Miva Merchant PR7. Please stop and upgrade to version 3.500 or higher  of the Order Manager’s Export Module then rerun the PR7 Upgrade Process. Go to the Stone Edge Technologies, Inc. download site (www.stoneedge.net/dlgateway/) to get the latest release of the Export Module. A current support contract is required to access the download page. If your support contract is not current, you must contact the sales department at Stone Edge Technologies, Inc. at 610-994-3699 or sales@stoneedge.com to renew your contract.

  1. At this point, stop the upgrade process and install the correct Export Module (3.500, or greater). VERIFY the installation of the correct version of the Export module from both the Order Manager and Miva Merchant, and then return to the PR7 upgrade process.
