The Site Resources node contains site-specific resources and pointers to global resources for the site. A site resource is an entity that provides functionality to the applications for a specific Commerce Server 2009 site. Commerce Server 2009 installs site resources when you unpack a site. The default site resources contained in Commerce Server 2009 are:
Inventory. Manages the connection to the Inventory System database that Commerce Server 2009 uses to store Inventory schema and Inventory SKU data.
Marketing. Manages the connection to the Marketing System and the Mailing List Management database that Commerce Server 2009 uses to store data about campaigns, ads, discounts, direct mail, and user lists.
Product Catalog. Manages the connection to the Catalog System database that Commerce Server 2009 uses to store catalog schema and product data.
Transactions. Manages the connection to the Orders System Transactions database that Commerce Server 2009 uses to store data such as order numbers, order groups, and baskets.
Transaction Config. Manages the connection to the Orders System Transactions Configuration database that Commerce Server 2009 uses to store data such as region codes, tax rates, order status codes, and shipping methods.
