What Are the Web.config Files for the Catalog System?
The Catalog System has elements in two Web.config files. These files are used by the Catalog Web service and your application.
Note
You may need to adjust the executionTimeout and maxRequestLength parameters in your Web.config file to accommodate larger catalogs, the recommended values for the Default site are:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10240" executionTimeout="36000"/>
Web.config File for the Catalog Web Service
If you are using a Web service, you may need to edit the Web.config file for the Catalog Web service. This file is located in the directory drive:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CatalogWebService.
The catalogWebService element contains the information needed to configure the Catalog Web service. For information about this element and the values used for its attributes see catalogWebService Element.
Web.config File for Your Application
Your application uses the Web.Config file located in the directory drive:\Inetpub\wwwroot\<application name>.

Web.config File for Inventory Integration
The Catalog System uses the Web.config file for the Catalog Web service to enable or disable Inventory integration. To do this, use the enableInventorySystem attribute of the catalogWebService element. For more information about this element, see catalogWebService Element.
The enableInventorySystem attribute is the only Inventory-specific attribute in the Web.config file.
