The ATG Configuration and Installation Manager (CIM) is a wizard-based tool that 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 working installation running quickly and easily, but keep in mind that you will most likely end up doing further configuration on your installation as your project evolves.
Important: If you have already configured other ATG products, and you are now adding ATG Campaign Optimizer, it is recommended that you not use CIM. If you do choose to set up ATG Campaign Optimizer with CIM on top of an existing ATG installation, be aware that CIM will reconfigure the existing products. In most cases, as long as you specify the existing installation’s parameters, the changes are harmless, but some parts of the process require CIM to recreate database tables and reimport initial data into them, which will cause errors to occur.
CIM handles the following configuration steps:
Creates data sources according to the database connection information you supply.
Creates database schemas and imports initial data.
Creates and configures ATG servers, including a lock manager server.
Assembles and deploys the application EAR files for each server.
See the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for additional information on CIM.
To configure ATG Campaign Optimizer using CIM:
Install the ATG platform, ATG Campaign Optimizer as described at the beginning of this chapter. Also install ATG Commerce if your environment uses it.
Start CIM. To do so, switch to
<ATG9dir>\home\binat a command line prompt and type:Cim.{sh|bat}Follow the prompts. Type h at any prompt for more information. See also the tips in the next section, CIM Selections for ATG Campaign Optimizer.
CIM Selections for ATG Campaign Optimizer
At the CIM Main Menu, type p and press Enter to go to the Production Selection screen. Then make one of the following choices:
To install ATG Campaign Optimizer without ATG Commerce add-on features, select ATG Campaign Optimizer (ABTest).
To install ATG Campaign Optimizer so that ATG Commerce add-on features are enabled, select ATG Campaign Optimizer with Commerce (DCS-ABTest).
At the next screen, Choose Add-Ons, select the ATG Campaign Optimizer options that are applicable to the environment you are setting up. Some of the add-ons shown for ATG Campaign Optimizer (for example, Dedicated Lock Servers) are part of the platform configuration. There are two add-on choices specific to ATG Campaign Optimizer:
To install the Preview feature on a separate server or on the Management server.
To install reporting on a separate server or on the Management server. The ATG Campaign Optimizer reporting feature is separate from the ATG Customer Intelligence (ACI) feature. You might configure ACI if you also installed another ATG application that uses it, such as ATG Search.
Note that you need to complete all the steps in the Main Menu (including Select Application Server and Database Configuration) except Custom CIM Plugin Launcher.
