ATG’s Configuration and Installation Manager (CIM) helps to simplify ATG product configuration by walking you through the required steps. This ensures that all necessary steps are completed and are done in the correct order. You can use CIM to get a basic, working installation running quickly and easily.
CIM handles the following configuration steps:
Creates database tables and imports initial data as described in this chapter, including those for the ACI data ware house.
Creates data sources according to the database connection information you supply (as described in the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide), including those needed for the ACI data warehouse.
Creates and configures ATG servers, including a lock manager (as described in the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide and the ATG Programming Guide) and a data warehouse loader server.
Assembles your application EAR files for each ATG server (as described in the ATG Programming Guide).
Deploys EAR files to your application server.
See the CIM help and the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for additional information on CIM.
