Using Commerce Server Configuration Wizard

The Commerce Server Configuration Wizard configures three Commerce Server components:

  • The Commerce Server administration database

  • Commerce Server Staging (CSS)

  • Direct Mailer

The Configuration Wizard also lets you import and export configurations through an XML file.

The Configuration Wizard performs the following actions during configuration:

  • Creates the Commerce Server administration database (MSCS_Admin).on the SQL Server that you designate. Sets up the authentication credentials to use to access the MSCS_Admin database.

  • Creates the Commerce Server catalog scratch database (MSCS_CatalogScratch) on the SQL Server that you designated for the MSCS_Admin database.

  • Creates and sets up the following COM+ applications:

    • Commerce Server Config (for the Administration API).

    • Commerce Server List Manager (for handling marketing lists).

    • Commerce Server Catalog Import Host (for handling catalog import and export).

    • Commerce Server Orders (for running the Commerce Server pipelines and orders transactions).

    • Commerce Server Promocode Generator (for generating promotion codes).

  • Sets up Commerce Server performance counters.

  • Sets up the Widgets virtual directory (for the Commerce Server Profiles System schema administration).

  • (Optional) Sets up and configures the CSS Windows service. Specifically, the Configuration Wizard performs the following actions:

    • Creates the CSS service account and CSS_SG Windows group that has all the necessary permissions to run the staging service. Adds the CSS service account to the CSS_SG user group.

    • Creates the "CSS Administrators" and "CSS Operators" Windows user groups for staging.

    • Configures the Internet Information Services (IIS) virtual directory for the CSS reporting service.

  • (Optional) Creates the Direct Mailer database on the SQL Server that you designate. Sets up the authentication credentials to use to access the Direct Mailer database. Creates the Windows account to run the Direct Mailer service.

  • (Optional) Creates and saves an XML configuration file that is named CSConfig.xml in the Commerce Server 2009 installation path.
