As part of an overall project creation process, the project creation wizard creates the Commerce Server Core Systems marketing infrastructure:

  • Marketing databases. Marketing data is stored in two databases per commerce site: marketing and marketing_lists. Marketing databases are prefixed by a commerce site name, for example StarterSite_marketing and StarterSite_marketing_lists.

  • MarketingWebService. Web service directory, Web.config file, and Web service reference assembly.

  • Default Marketing Web.config settings.
