The section lists the modules you’re most likely to use with ATG Merchandising. For a complete list of modules, see the ATG Modules appendix in the ATG Programming Guide.

In general, the modules you use for your management server, where ATG Merchandising runs, are nearly identical to those used in production. If the production server uses the B2BCommerce module, the management server uses the B2BCommerce.Versioned module, indicating the Business Commerce with support for versioning (ATG Content Administration).

Contains submodules that contain HTML UIs for ATG Commerce applications running on ATG Content Administration. Specifying this module causes DCS-UI.management to run.

This module makes ATG Merchandising and ATG Content Administration available to a single instance.

Contains an HTML UI used by Search Merchandising and Faceted Search, which are ATG Search add-on features of ATG Merchandising. This module accesses the core Commerce parts of the ATG Search integration framework (DCS.Search), ATG Merchandising (DCS-UI.management) as well as additions to the UI framework in support of these Search add-on features (AssetUI.Search).
