This object is usually created once and initialized in the Global.asa file, for performance reasons. An instance of it is stored in the Application object and used on ASP pages as necessary.
The following example illustrates these steps:
Dim oAppConfig
Set oAppConfig = Server.CreateObject("Commerce.AppConfig")
Set Application("MSCSAppCfg") = oAppConfig
