               <cache
                   name="Advertising"
                   type="Advertising"
                   refreshInterval="900"
                   retryInterval="30" />
   
               <cache
                   name="Discounts"
                   type="Discounts"
                   refreshInterval="0"
                   retryInterval="30" />
   
               <cache
                   name="QueryCatalogInfoCache"
                   type="QCI"
                   loaderProgId="Commerce.LRUCacheFlush"
                   refreshInterval="0"
                   retryInterval="300"
                   maxSize="10000">
                       <config key="TableName" value="CatalogCache_Virtual_Directory" />
               </cache>

2. Add the following tags under the Pipelines tag that appears under the CommerceServer tag.
   
   Note For the pipelines that this code defines, you must have the corresponding pipeline configuration files in the Pipelines folder.

               <pipeline
                   name="advertising"
                   path="pipelines\advertising.pcf"
                   transacted="false"
                   type="CSFPipeline" />
   
               <pipeline
                   name="discounts"
                   path="pipelines\discounts.pcf"
                   transacted="false"
                   type="CSFPipeline" />
           
           				<pipeline
                   name="basket"
                   path="pipelines\basket.pcf"
                   transacted="false"
                   type="OrderPipeline"
                   loggingEnabled="true" />
   
               <pipeline
                   name="checkout"
                   path="pipelines\checkout.pcf"
                   transacted="true"
                   type="OrderPipeline"
                   loggingEnabled="true" />
   
               <pipeline
                   name="total"
                   path="pipelines\total.pcf"
                   transacted="false"
                   type="OrderPipeline"
                   loggingEnabled="true" />
   
               <pipeline
                   name="recordevent"
                   path="pipelines\recordevent.pcf"
                   transacted="false"
                   type="CSFPipeline" />

3. Add the following tags under the CommerceServer tag:

   		<contentSelection>
   			<add name="advertising" cacheName="advertising" selectionPipeline="advertising" eventPipeline="recordEvent" redirectUrl="./redir.aspx"/>
   			<add name="discounts" cacheName="discounts" selectionPipeline="discounts" eventPipeline="recordEvent" redirectUrl="./redir.aspx"/>
   		</contentSelection>

4. Modify the BDRefresh.aspx.cs file as follows.
   
   Note In the following sample code, namespace is NorthWindTraders. You must replace "NorthWindTraders" with your site name.

   using System;
   using System.Collections;
   using System.ComponentModel;
   using System.Data;
   using System.Drawing;
   using System.Web;
   using System.Web.SessionState;
   using System.Web.UI;
   using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
   using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
   
   using Microsoft.CommerceServer.Runtime;
   using Microsoft.CommerceServer.Runtime.Caching;
   
   namespace NorthWindTraders
   {

   }
   

5. Modify the BDRefresh.asp file as follows:
