Install Sana Commerce SDK

Connect to a Single Database

 NOTE

This is an optional step

When several developers are connected to a single SQL database while customizing the Sana Commerce project, their development workstations are registered as separate servers and only one of them is able to run any scheduled task from Sana Admin. In this case developers need to switch active task server in Sana Admin to run scheduled tasks.

It is possible to specify a custom server name in the 'Web.config' file of the Sana Commerce Startersite.
In the 'Web.config' file of the Sana Commerce Startersite add the following line to the <appSettings> section:

<add key="ServerName" value="[DevServer]" />

Enter the name of the developer workstation. You can enter anything you want. The name of the server should be the same on all developer workstations. If you enter the same name of the server on all developers workstations, all of them will be registered as a single server while connecting to a single SQL database. This allows developers to work with the single SQL database while customizing the Sana Commerce project and run any scheduled task from Sana Admin regardless of other developers.
