Hello Everyone,

The AbleCommerce DataPort utility is a tool used to move or upload large amounts of data into an AbleCommerce 7 store. AbleCommerce provides this utility for free to our customers. Support for DataPort is provided on a limited basis through this forum only.

With the DataPort, you can:

• Transfer shipment data between UPS WorldShip and AbleCommerce 7
• Download your entire store as an XML package.
• Upload your entire store as an XML package.
• Download Products, Categories, Users and Order in CSV or XML format.
• Upload Products, Categories, Users and Orders in CSV or XML format.
• Create templates to map CSV data from other sources to the AbleCommerce fields and save the template for later.
• Upload AbleCommerce 5.5 XML data to AbleCommerce 7

WARNING: BACKUP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE USING THIS TOOL!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNIVERSAL UTILITY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 7.7.251 release is compatible with all released versions of AbleCommerce, from 7.0.0 through 7.0.7. This means it can connect to any store running any version of AbleCommerce 7.x. The only requirement is that each store you connect to must have the most recent client API installed. The client API remains version specific.

This will be a benefit to merchants or development partners who must connect to a number of different stores. Prior to the universal release, it was necessary to have an installation of DataPort for each version of store you wanted to connect to.

Before reporting a bug, search in the forums to see if your issue has already been answered. If not, open a new topic in this forum, 7.0 DataPort.

** Bugs must be reproducible by our developers.
** Bugs are fixed in the current version only. We cannot make any guarantees when an issue will be corrected.

DOWNLOADS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The DataPort desktop application can connect to any version of AbleCommerce. However, the AbleCommerce website must have the latest client API installed. Installation of the Client API is simple and only involves the update of three files. To find the version of your AbleCommerce store, check the Help > About page from your merchant menu.

An update was made to the DataPort utility to correct an issue when exporting orders with the Custom XML option.

This is the error that is now fixed in version 7.7.254:

Object of type 'System.Boolean' cannot be converted to type 'System.Byte'.

Update:

We tried using the 7.7.254 dataport with version 7.0.5 and received a mismatch error. This is likely only applicable to older versions of AbleCommerce 7.0.5. To use the Data Port with an older version, try downloading and installing ftp://ftp.ablecommerce.com/DataPort/Dat ... .7.251.zip instead.
