SYMPTOMS
When you create a project by using the New Project Wizard in the Commerce Server Staging (CSS) console, the wizard cannot create a metabase project on a computer that is running Microsoft Commerce Server 2007.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Change the project configuration after you create a new project by using the New Project Wizard

 * 1) Open the CSS console.
 * 2) Right-click the name of the project that the New Project Wizard created, and then click Properties.
 * 3) Click Metabase Deployment, and then click Advanced.
 * 4) Type the Web site name, and then click OK.
 * 5) Click Add, and then type the destination computer name in the box under End point server.
 * 6) Click OK two times to finish the wizard.
 * 7) On the destination computer, repeat steps 1 through 6.

Method 2: Use the command-line interface (CLI) to create a metabase project
Type the following commands at a command prompt:

css addproj   /metabase

css addproj  /server  /metabase

Note The  placeholder represents the destination computer name.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
