Walkthrough: Deploying a SharePoint 2010 Commerce Solution in a Three-Tier Topology
This walkthrough provides guidance to help an information technology professional deploy a Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Web application in a three-tier Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 R2 configuration. It is based on the sequence of tasks required to deploy the SharePoint 2010 Solution Storefront using sample deployment scripts and application packages. For more information about sample deployments scripts and packages, see Commerce Server Deployment Tools.
Each commerce deployment is unique based on the e-commerce solution requirements and specific deployment environments. As a result, all tasks and procedures referenced in this walkthrough are provided as guidance only. Use this guidance to modify the prepackaged scripts and code samples to meet the specific deployment and configuration needs of your custom commerce solution.
Prerequisites
Deployment planning is complete. See Planning a Commerce Deployment.
You are familiar with and have identified security requirements specific to your network and deployment environment.
You have considered firewall port requirements for your deployment. See Securing Your Network with Firewalls and Ports.
For a secure deployment, Active Directory and domain controllers are configured. See Domain Trusts in Multiforest Commerce Deployment.
User accounts and groups required for your deployment environment are configured. See What Are the Required Accounts and Groups?
This documentation assumes that a supported release of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 is deployed on servers in the presentation tier.
SQL Server databases are setup and configured in the data tier. See Configuring the Database Servers. For a secure deployment, it is recommended that commerce data transmitted between the Commerce Server 2009 R2 site and the Commerce Server 2009 R2 databases are encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
You have a Commerce Server Site package (<mysite>.pup) ready to deploy on the application tier server. Examples provided in this documentation assume you are deploying the prepackaged MicrosoftCommerceDefaultSiteWithSampleData.pup file.
SharePoint 2010 solution or content files to deploy are available locally on the target servers.
