Using Commerce Server Site Packager

This section provides instructions about how to use Commerce Server 2009 Site Packager. Site Packager is a deployment tool that you use to package your site, its applications, and its resources into a single file, and then move that file to another environment. You use Site Packager to package your Commerce Server 2009 site (including the IIS metabase settings), the file system, resources from the Administration database, and SQL Server databases into a single file. You also use Site Packager to unpack the Commerce Server 2009 site (or sections of it) onto other computers.

Site Packager provides quick and custom unpack methods. You can use the Quick unpack method to unpack a single Commerce Server 2009 site onto a new installation. If you are unpacking a second site package onto the same computer, you must use the Custom unpack method.

Site Packager performs the following operations when it unpacks the site package by using the Quick unpack method:

  • Creates the site databases for each site resource that is unpacked, and sets up predefined database security roles. Site Packager assigns the default site database names listed in What Are the Required Database Accounts and Database Role Mappings?

  • Extracts and configures the database connection strings for each site database. All applicable database logon information is run under the account provided.

  • Creates and installs the global resources.

  • Unpacks each IIS application into the IIS default Web site in a virtual directory that matches the application name, such as CatalogWebService. All Commerce Server 2009 applications run under the service accounts that you create. For more information, see What Are the Accounts and Groups to Create? The post-installation configuration process grants these accounts the necessary security permissions on the database server.

  • Creates a Unicode text log of all activities for diagnostic purposes. Every time that you use Site Packager, events are written to this log file. The file name of the log file is Pup.log. The file is located in the root folder of the drive where you installed Commerce Server 2009.
