MORE INFORMATION

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
All CSS configuration information is contained in the following Microsoft Windows NT registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CSS

Some of this information is available, such as the TransactionMethod registry entry. The value of this registry entry can be set to YES or to NO.

The following information shows how to set and to verify the Flags value on a computer that is running Commerce Server 2007.

Set a flag from the command line

To set a Flags value, run one of the following commands at a command prompt:
  • CSS AddProj ProjectNameDirectory [Dest1] Flags=VALUE

    Note ProjectName is a placeholder for the name of the project. VALUE is a placeholder for a numeric value that is always checked for validity. However, the token "Flags" will not be checked. If you mistakenly enter the word "Flag," a new value will be created.
  • CSS EditProj ProjectName FLAGS=VALUE

    For example, to add the Force flag to an existing project that is named Test1, run the following command:

    CSS EditProj Test1 FLAGS=Force

    To turn off all the flags of an existing project that is named Test1, run the following command:

    CSS EditProj Test1 FLAGS=0

Verify flags by using Registry Editor

The content replication system project information is located in the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CSS\Projects\<ProjectName>

The Flags value shows how the customer has configured CSS. To determine the configuration, use the following table.
