This section describes how to install and configure the ATG Outreach Production/Staging module. As noted in the ATG Outreach System Components chapter, you install this module on all staging, production and e-mail rendering servers. Before you begin, make sure you have the following components installed on your system:

For a detailed list of system requirements and supported configurations for ATG Outreach, including a list of the specific versions of application servers you can use, refer to the Oracle ATG Commerce Supported Environments Matrix document in the My Oracle Support knowledge base at https://support.oracle.com/.

Important: You can install the ATG Outreach Production/Staging module directly onto the servers where you plan to run it, or you can install it on the same machine as your ATG Outreach server and then use CIM to create the appropriate application EAR files and deploy them to the destination servers. The effect is the same; however, CIM requires the latter, so if you want to use CIM, you must install the ATG Outreach Production/Staging module on the same machine as your ATG Outreach server. For more information, see Performing Post-Installation Setup with CIM. Note also that if you choose to use CIM, you are not required to install the ATG platform on the production, staging, or e-mail rendering servers. CIM includes all necessary platform files for running the ATG Outreach Production/Staging Module in the EAR files it assembles. You can still install the full ATG distribution on these servers if you choose to do so; however, you assemble and deploy your EAR files differently in this case. For more information, refer to the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.

Follow these steps to install the ATG Outreach Production/Staging module:

The setup program adds a new <ATG10dir>/ACO10.1 directory to your ATG 10.1 installation. It also installs the required Common Application Framework (CAF) in the <ATG10dir>/CAFversion directory.
