How to Configure a Global Resource

After you install a global resource, you can change the properties and the database connection strings used by the global resource at any time.

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.
After you make the necessary changes in the Data Link Properties dialog box, click OK.

The global resource you selected is now configured.
After you change a property in Commerce Server Manager, you must restart all services that use those values. For instructions, see How to Restart IIS and How to Restart Commerce Server Services.
