Deploying the TaxwareLink package to your WebSphere Commerce environment

When integrating WebSphere Commerce with Taxware, you must extract the TaxwareLink package to your WebSphere Commerce environment.

Note: WebSphere Commerce Version 6 does not support TaxWare on IBM i.

Procedure

Extract the TaxwareLink package from the Taxware_Pack\TaxwareLink directory to the TaxwarePack_tempdir directory in either your WebSphere Commerce Server environment or WebSphere Commerce development environment.

The steps required to set up the files that you extracted as part of the TaxwareLink package are dependent on the WebSphere Commerce environment to which you extracted the TaxwareLink package.
