Changing the Connection String for a Site Resource

You can change the connection strings for any of the site resources.

To change the connection string for a site resource

1. In Commerce Server Manager, expand Commerce Server Manager, expand Commerce Sites, and then expand the site you want to administer.
2. Expand Site Resources, right-click the site resource to be configured, and then click Properties.
3. In the Properties dialog box, on the Connection Strings tab, select a connection string, and then click Modify. The Data Link Properties dialog box appears.
4. After making the necessary changes in the Data Link Properties dialog box, click OK.

Notes

• It is possible to add connection strings that are not associated with a database, and thus, do not work. If this occurs, Microsoft Data Link does not display an error message.
• After you change a connection string, you must restart IIS. For instructions, see Restarting IIS and Commerce Server Services.
