Updating Site Content
When you initially deploy your Web site, you use Commerce Server Site Packager. To update the content of your site, you use a variety of tools depending on the component you are updating. The following table shows where Commerce Server components are located and how you can update them.
| To update this type of content | Do this |
| Web pages (ASP and HTML files) | Use Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Application Center 2000, the Content Deployment tool, or another Web-page publishing tool.
For more information, see the Visual Studio or Application Center 2000 documentation. |
| Component Object Model (COM) applications | Transfer the appropriate dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) to the Web server, and then register them using the command regsvr32 <dll-filename>. |
| User profile and catalog schemas | Create a script.
For a description of these schemas, see Profile Schema and Creating a Catalog Schema. |
| Catalog data, campaigns, advertisements, and discounts | Create and run a Data Transformation Services (DTS) task. When updating campaigns, advertisements, and discounts, move only tables containing these records. Do not overwrite the performance table.
For more information about DTS tasks, see Running the Data Warehouse. |
| Pipelines | Copy the appropriate pipeline (.pcf) files. |

Note
- Before you update any content on a server, make sure there are no users connected to that server. Otherwise, users may encounter non-functioning links in your Web site.
