Name restrictions for IIS applications as created by Pup.exe

  • Article

There are name restrictions on Internet Information Services (IIS) applications if you use the custom path in Site Packager to unpack the site. You cannot use a name that matches the programmatic reference name of any known resources, or any other resources found in the package.

Solution

Below is the list of known resources that are blocked:

  • App Default Config
  • Transactions
  • Transaction Config
  • Campaigns
  • Product Catalog
  • Direct Mail
  • Predictor
  • Site Data Warehouse
  • Global Data Warehouse
  • BDSecurity
  • Biz Data Service
  • Site CS Authentication

In addition to these resources, which are hard-coded in the product, any other resources that are contained in the package the user is attempting to unpack will also be blocked, including some third-party names. Unfortunately there is no way to know ahead of time what these names are.
