To create a project on the source staging server to stage the IIS metabase

  1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 , and then click Commerce Server Staging.

  2. In the Commerce Server Staging console, in the left pane, expand Commerce Server Staging, expand <server name>, right-click Projects, point to New, and then click Project.

  3. In the New Project dialog box, type a name for the staging project, and then click OK.

  4. In the Project Type dialog box, click Deploy content from a local directory, and then click Next.

  5. In the Commerce Server Staging<computer name><project name>Properties dialog box, on the Project tab, select Metabase deployment, and then click Advanced.

  6. In the IIS Metabase Deployment dialog box, from the drop-down list, select the Web site that is associated with the settings that you want to stage, and then click OK.

  7. In the Commerce Server Staging<computer name><project name>Properties dialog box, configure the other project settings and then click OK. Note the following:

    • For the source staging server, add as many Destinations as you have endpoints in the staging topology. For information about how to add a destination, see How to Add a Destination to an IIS Metabase Project

    • For the endpoint server, do not add any Destinations.

    • Ignore the properties provided in the Filter, Advanced, and IIS tabs. These properties do not apply to staging the IIS metabase.
