Hello,

I've developed some custom pipeline components in C# for use in a
Commerce Server 2002 deployment. Unfortunately, it's rather awkward
releasing them to our test and production servers because of the
registration process:

1. Register the library (either by compiling with Visual Studio .NET or
using regasm.exe)

2. Register the pipeline components using pipereg.exe

3. Modify the pipelines using the pipeline editor - remove the broken
components and add them again.

I suspect the underlying problem is that the class ID for each
component changes when the library is rebuilt, and so requiring
re-registration.

Is it possible to automate the registration, or to avoid re-registering
the components?

Cheers,

Phil Mellor

Hi Phil,

I don't think you need to do step 3 => If the component is registered
correctly, the pipelines can be executed directly without editing them.

Also - for step 2, you can export out the registry keys to be modified and
simply run the *.reg file on the server, instead of running the whole
pipereg.exe tool through the UI.

Step 1 cannot obviously be avoided, but the rest should be fairly
automatable if you wish to do so (running the reg file that is).

Thanks,
