Author Sharing global resources between Commerce sites using un-PuP INIs in automated deploy

We have several Commerce Server 2002 sites, deployed from the same PuP
but with different INI files to control how the various resources and
applications are deployed. This works fine for 99% of the deployment.



However, every site we deploy creates a new global resource - even
though they point to the same underlying database.



At present, this is what is in our INI files:



[Biz Data Service]

UseData = 1

GlobalResourceName = (Add new global resource)



Obviously, this creates a new global resource for each site. Therefore
we changed it to this:



[Biz Data Service]

UseData = 1

GlobalResourceName = OurWebsite_Profiles



However, this complained that the resource "OurWebsite_Profiles" could
not be found. (We were hoping that PuP.exe would create it if it
couldn't find it)



Is there any way to create the global resource for the first site that
is unpacked, and then re-use the same resource in subsequent unpacks?
Just to clarify, the sites are deployed all in one go, and the process
is fully automated.



Thanks for your time,





Adam Creeger
