Accessing the Pipeline Editor

  • Article

The Pipeline Editor is an application used for creating and editing Commerce Server pipelines. You can use it to edit a pipeline on your local computer or on a computer connected to a local area network (LAN).

Pipelines are described in pipeline configuration (.pcf) files. You create and configure .pcf files with the Pipeline Editor.

The Pipeline Editor displays a pipeline as a pipe, showing the stages of the pipeline as pipe segments. The components used in a stage appear as valves.

Certain components have an "affinity" with certain stages. This means that the component was designed for use within that stage. Commerce Server does not enforce this stage and component association. You can include any component in any stage.

To access the Pipeline Editor

  • On the Project menu, point to Commerce Server Project, and then click Pipeline Editor.
