Author One of my friend faced this issue (“Failed in catalog – error ) and forward to us for help. He received this error after creating commerce server site using CS 09 tool “SharePoint Commerce Services Configuration Wizard” and when he tried to open the web page. Unfortunately there is no help available on this error in internet.
We have make sure that it error is not due to configuration issue and cross verified following configuration settings.
- IIS Security
- Adman – privileges provided to the windows account in all authorization stores.
- SQL Server permissions.
- Profile connection strings (even though the error message shows catalog but the error description shows profile).
- checked web.comfit file if all settings are fine.
All settings are fine as expected but when we checked profile schema, we found that it was not properly imported by the tool. If you observe below image, you can observe the profile catalog is missing.
The resolution is to import the profile schema again (right click on yellow icon –> import –> select XML to import) and refresh to see the changes on the screen.

To Developer: Check whether installation tool has logged any error. To Microsoft: To make the error more precise – instead of just catalog, they should have mentioned profile catalog in the error. |
