[+/-]Making ePages ready for IPv6 [Technical requirement] [EPG-9408]

Quoting Wikipedia: "Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the next-generation Internet Layer protocol for packet-switched internetworks and the Internet. IPv4 is currently the dominant Internet Protocol version, and was the first to receive widespread use. In December 1998, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) designated IPv6 as the successor to version 4 by the publication of a Standards Track specification, RFC 2460.
[...]
During the first decade of operation of the TCP/IP-based Internet, by the late 1980s, it became apparent that methods had to be developed to conserve address space. In the early 1990s, even after the introduction of classless network redesign, it became clear that this would not suffice to prevent IPv4 address exhaustion and that further changes to the Internet infrastructure were needed." See IPv6 for the full article.

As of now all ePages components fully support IPv6. For a detailed description of ePages 6 and IPv6 consult the technical documentation:

in the Partnerweb,

Open IIS >> Application Pools >> ePagesApplicationPool >> Properties >> Performance:
Set "Shutdown worker processes after being idle for (time in minutes)" to "60":

Price lists can be defined for customers and for customer groups. Now the price list for customer groups can be used as a kind of fallback for the customer price list if a customer is assigned to both lists. The basic principles are:

If prices for a product are defined in the customer's price list these prices will be applied to the customer, independent of the entries in the customer group price list.
The prices of the customer group price list will be applied to that customer if no prices for the product are defined in the customer price list but in the customer group price list.
If a shopping basket discount is defined in the customer price list, it will be applied otherwise the discount of the customer group price list is used in the basket.

In that way, the customer price list can be used to define special prices in general for a customer group the customer is assigned to. Just the exceptions for some products needs to be defined in the customer price list. Location:MBO >> Products >> Price lists
