Symptoms

In Parallels Business Automation (PBA) 5.4.15 the PayPal Express plugin was implemented (#PBA-47253), but it is not possible to install it using the instructions from KB article #112529. The plugin is missing from the list.

Cause

PayPal Express requires a custom rpm to be installed for the plugin to appear in the wizard.

Resolution

This behavior was improved in PBA 5.5.5 (#PBA-53212 fixed), since that version the plugin is present in the installation wizard without any custom rpms. If it is required to install the plugin on earlier PBA version, please follow the steps below:

  1. Download and install the rpm http://download.pa.parallels.com/pba/csc/bm-customer-paypalexpress-1.0-0.noarch.rpm

    Please note that the rpm has an installation requirement:

    # rpm -q --requires bm-customer-paypalexpress-1.0-0
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1

    This means, if the system with PBA is on Centos 4.x with outdated rpm-libs, the package cannot be installed.

    In this case the correct way to resolve the issue would be a migration to Centos 6.

  2. Follow the instructions from article #112529
