How to Configure CSS Reports

  • Article

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

When you install Commerce Server 2007 and use the Commerce Server Configuration Wizard, you can decide to configure Commerce Server Staging (CSS) reports. If you did not configure CSS reports during your Commerce Server 2007 installation, you can use the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard to set up reports later. This topic describes how to configure CSS reports by using the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard in the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. 

CSS reports display event information that is stored in the CSS events Access database. For more information, see What are the Staging Concepts? and Where is Staging Content Stored? The CSS reports feature requires IIS to configure reports. For instructions about how to install IIS, see How to Enable IIS on the Web Servers.
