Deployment Guide

 

Welcome to Campaign Manager for WebLogic, WebLogic Commerce Server, and WebLogic Personalization Server Deployment Guide! Part I of this document describes the default configuration of the server and its sample enterprise application. Then it guides you through customizing the configuration and activating (deploying) your organization's enterprise application in development and production environments. Part II of this document describes setting up databases for the server's data repository and migrating the repository from one environment to the next (for example, from a development environment to a staging environment).
