Hi,
I have just installed Kartis via Web Platform Installer and all works ok.
But I am at a loss trying to find where this DataTool Desktop is?
I do not see it installed with Kartris.exe.

Try here:

http://www.kartris.com/t-LegacyDownloads.aspx

The legacy downloads section - but I don't know if this version of the data tool will produce the correct data for the latest version of Kartris. I think they produced new versions of the data tool as versions changed - but can't remember for sure.

We're still working on the data tool for v2.0... we're completely redesigning it. There is a legacy one for Kartris 1.4 on the site, but this won't work correctly with v2.

There are workarounds - to install the older 1.4 database, use the 1.4 data tool and then use the SQL upgrade scripts in the Uploads/Resources/ folder to take the database up to 2.0 format.

But we hope to have the data tool available at least in beta form next week... things got held up by staff vacations and arrival of a new baby (congratulations Medz!).Smile

Tahnksj for the replies.

Is it possible to DIY data import?

I can look at all the tables that are effected when I add products and categories but do I have to worry about anything in the code?

If I only have to worry about referential integrity then can you supply me with a list of tables that are effected when adding products and categories?

I installed Kartris Legacy (1.4) but get the following error:

Parser Error

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: The resource object with key 'AdminBar_ViewBackend' was not found.

After reading other knowledgebase article it seems the resource entries are missing from the language table(s)?
I have tried to reinstall a few times but with no luck.
Please help.

This suggests that it's not connected to the database ok. It can happen if the web.config is not properly written to with the correct connection string during the install, or if the database doesn't have the correct permissions.

The error shows up because the language strings aren't retrieved from the database, and these are the first things needed when a page runs (normally they're cached when things fire up the first time, but if they cannot be read, nothing is cached)
