GlobalConfig Object

Use this object to accomplish the following:

• Create or delete resource configuration information

• Save any updated global configuration information to the Administration database

• Add a site

Depending on how you add your own custom resource, you should be able to use this object to access configuration settings from the Administration database.

Note

In Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, objects are created in the configured application pool for the site, and you can configure each application pool to run as a different user. In order for Commerce Server Config objects to work with IIS 6.0, you must add the application pool user name to COM+. By default, the default application pool runs as "Network Service", with the local user account name being SERVICE.
