Configuring a Global Resource
After a global resource is installed, you can change the properties and the database connection strings used by the global resource at any time.
Note
- When you change the properties or the database connection string for a global resource using Commerce Server Manager, changes may not be reflected immediately in Commerce Server Business Desk or in the Web pages of the applications using the global resource. To refresh these changes, restart all services that use those values. For instructions, see Restarting IIS and Commerce Server Services.
To configure a global resource
Expand Commerce Server Manager, and then expand Global Resources.
Right-click the global resource to be configured, and then click Properties.
In the <global resource> Properties dialog box, on the Properties tab, configure the properties for the global resource. For each property you want to configure, select the property, and then type the value in the Selected Property Value box.
On the Connection Strings tab, configure the connection strings for the global resource, and then click Modify.
The Data Link Properties dialog box appears.
Note
- For information about how to complete the Data Link Properties dialog box, click Help in the Data Link Properties dialog box to open the Microsoft Data Link Help file.
After making the necessary changes in the Data Link Properties dialog box, click OK.
The global resource you selected is now configured.
Note
- After you change a property in Commerce Server Manager, you must restart all services that use those values. For instructions, see Restarting IIS and Commerce Server Services.
