How to Register Pipeline Components
For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.
To register your pipeline components, use the Pipeline Component Registration Wizard. For more information about how to use this wizard, see Pipeline Component Registration Wizard.
To register a new pipeline component
Click Start, click Programs, click Microsoft Commerce Server 2007 , click Tools, and then click Commerce Server Tools Command Prompt. The Commerce Server Tools Command Prompt window opens.
Type "pipereg" and then press ENTER. The Pipeline Component Registration Wizard opens.
On the Pipeline Component Registration Wizard [Step 1 of 3] page, select Select component Type Library and then locate the .tlb file that was generated for your pipeline component by Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008 and was put in your project's bin\debug folder. Click Next.
On the Pipeline Component Registration Wizard [Step 2 of 3] page, use the arrow buttons to populate the Selected Categories list that has your stage affinity choices from the Available Categories list. When the Selected Categories list contains the pipeline stages for which your new pipeline component has an affinity, click Next.
Note
One of the choices in the Available Categories list is All Stages. This provides an easier way to declare your new pipeline component as having an affinity for all pipeline stages.
On the Pipeline Component Registration Wizard [Registration] page, choose whether to register your component as a pipeline component on the local computer immediately, to generate a script to perform registration later, on another computer, or both. If you are generating a script, you can specify a path and file name for script generation. When ready, click Next.
On the Pipeline Component Registration Wizard [Finished] page, review your pipeline component registration choices and results, and then click Close.
