How to Customize the Site Packager .ini Files
You can use .ini files as templates for creating custom .ini files for your own packages. You can use site packager .ini files to control how a PuP file is deployed when you silently unpack a site. For more information about silently unpacking a site, see What Is the Format of the BizData.ini File?
You can use the same .ini file for both packaging and unpacking. During the packaging or unpacking process, the sections that are irrelevant to the task are ignored.
You run .ini files from the command line. For instructions and a sample command, see How to Run Site Packager from the Command Line.
Note the following:
When packaging a site, the list of resources in the .ini file is not read. Instead the entire site is packaged.
An application name must match the name of the packaged application. For example, if the package was created with the application name DefaultSite, the application name must be DefaultSite. If you change the name of the application, you must also change the VRoot.
Example
The entries in this section are from the Site.ini file for a sample Commerce Server 2009 site named CSharpSite.
[General]
SiteName= is the only required property.
The SiteName property is localized. Therefore, it must match the Web site name in Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in of Internet Information Services (IIS). If the property does not match, Site Packager cannot locate it.
SiteName=CSharpSite
Description=Silent CSharpSite Install with Windows Authentication
The following entries list the resources that Site Packager can install. If you do not want to install a given resource, delete the resource line from the .ini file, and then renumber the resources. All of the resources are unpacked before any applications are unpacked:
NumOfResources= 7
NumOfApplications= 5
Resource0=Product Catalog
Resource1=Transactions
Resource2=Transaction Config
Resource3=Biz Data Service
Resource4=Site CS Authentication
Resource5=Marketing
Resource6=Inventory
Application0=CatalogWebService
Application1=CSharpSite
Application2=MarketingWebService
Application3=OrdersWebService
Application4=ProfilesWebService
NumOfConnStrs= 7
[ConnStrs]
We recommend that you use Windows integrated security. To use integrated security, in the connection string value (ConnStrValue) for each resource replace the parameter User ID=;Password=; with Integrated Security=SSPI.
The following are the connection strings for each resource. The connection strings take the following parameters:
ConnStrResourceName
The name of the resource.
ConnStrValue
The connection string value.
ConnStrPropertyName
The property name for the connection string.
The following is a sample of the [ConnStrs] section:
ConnStrResourceName0=Product Catalog
ConnStrPropertyName0=connstr_db_Catalog
ConnStrFriendlyResourceName0=Product Catalog
ConnStrFriendlyPropertyName0=connstr_db_Catalog
