The ATG Configuration and Installation Manager (CIM) simplifies ATG product configuration by providing the steps that perform the configuration. This ensures that all necessary steps are completed and are performed in the correct order. Use CIM to get your installation running quickly; however, additional configuration on your installation may be necessary.
CIM handles the following configuration steps:
Creates data sources according to the database connection information you supplied, including those needed for the ACI data warehouse and Search. Note: CIM will not configure switching data sources. You must manually set up the switching data sources for Service as outlined in the Configuring Databases for ATG Service chapter. If you are installing ATG Commerce, the switching data sources will be created for ATG Commerce only
Creates database tables and imports initial data
Creates and configures ATG servers, including a lock manager and a required loader servers
Assembles your application EAR files for each ATG server
Deploys EAR files to your application server
Note: Do not use CIM to install ATG Service if you are adding a new ATG Service installation to an existing ATG product. The CIM configuration process will overwrite your existing ATG product configurations. Use CIM if you are installing all ATG products for the first time.
See Appendix E, Service CIM Details for a full listing of the database scripts and configuration files CIM uses. Refer to the CIM script help and the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for additional information on CIM.
