The ATG Control Center is the point-and-click user interface that gives you access to all features of the ATG platform. Business users carry out all their ATG platform tasks within the ATG Control Center.
One copy of the ATG Control Center is installed automatically with the ATG platform. However, you can install and run as many copies of the ATG Control Center as you require – for example, if your company has three business managers who perform ATG-related tasks, they can each install the ATG Control Center on their own machines and connect to the same ATG server. For more information on installing additional copies of the ATG Control Center, please see the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.
Important: If your ATG product environment uses ATG Content Administration, you use the browser-based Oracle ATG Web Commerce Business Control Center, rather than the ATG Control Center, to perform many of the tasks described in this guide, including setting up content targeting and managing user profiles, organizations, and roles.
The table below shows the recommended interface for working with each of the items listed if your ATG environment uses ATG Content Administration.
Item | Manage in ATG Control Center (ACC)? | Manage in Business Control Center (BCC)? |
|---|---|---|
User profiles, roles, and organizations | Possible | Recommended |
Profile groups | Possible | Recommended (in the BCC, user segments have superseded profile groups) |
Content items | Possible | Possible using the ATG Content Administration interface. Refer to the ATG Content Administration Guide for Business Users for information. |
Content targeters | Possible | Recommended |
Content groups | Possible | Recommended |
Scenarios and slots | Required – scenarios exist only in the ACC | Not possible |
Workflows | Required – workflows exist only in the ACC | Not possible |
Important: If you have a multisite ATG environment, where your ATG products are being used to support more than one customer-facing Web site, you are required to use the Business Control Center to manage all items shown above except scenarios, slots, and workflows. In a multisite configuration, these items have additional features that are available only in the BCC.
The Business Control Center is described in the ATG Business Control Center Administration and Development Guide and the ATG Business Control Center User's Guide.
