Virtual Directory Information (SQL Server Compact Edition)
The Virtual Directory Information page of the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard allows you to specify the name and the path for the virtual directory.
Options
Alias:
Specify the name for the virtual directory on the computer running IIS. It is recommended that you use the same naming conventions that you use for a folder.
The name of the server running Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and the virtual directory must be specified as part of the InternetURL property for connectivity. You may optionally specify the SQL Server Compact Edition Server Agent (Sqlcesa30.dll) for SQL Server Compact Edition or the SQL Server Replication Listener (replisapi.dll) for SQL Server in the URL. For example, the following URL accesses a SQL Server Compact Edition Server Agent for replication or remote data access (RDA): https://www.adventure-works.com/sqlce or https://www.adventure-works.com/sqlce/Sqlcesa30.dll
Path:
Specify the path to the content folder that contains the virtual directory. The path to the content folder should be specified as a local path (for example C:\Program Files), even if the computer running IIS is a remote computer. By default, the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard points to the location in which the SQL Server Compact Edition Server Agent is installed for SQL Server Compact Edition or to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot for SQL Server. You can also specify an alternate location on disk for better disk space management, although a copy of the SQL Server Compact Edition Server Agent or SQL Server Replication Listener must be located in that location. If you do specify an alternate location, the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard copies and registers the SQL Server Compact Edition Server Agent or the SQL Server Replication Listener to the new location. All temporary files for data transfer to and from the instance of Microsoft SQL Server will reside in this location for SQL Server Compact Edition.
