This section provides basic instructions for installing Oracle ATG Web Commerce. Use these instructions to configure evaluation or development Oracle ATG Web Commerce applications or as an overview of the steps required to install and deploy production Oracle ATG Web Commerce applications.
Following the installation procedure in this section will result in a functional server configuration but the procedure does not contain all the information you will need to meet the more sophisticated requirements of live, production use. If you are installing Oracle ATG Web Commerce for production use, make sure to read the more detailed configuration information in the other chapters of this guide. This section will refer to those chapters where they are needed.
To install Oracle ATG Web Commerce software:
Install and configure the Java Development Kit (JDK) on your host machine. You will need the path to your JDK installation directory later in this installation procedure.
To find the required JDK version and the required versions of other supporting software, refer to the Oracle ATG Commerce Supported Environments Matrix document in the My Oracle Support knowledge base (https://support.oracle.com/).
Install and configure the Java application server you will use. See Preparing Java Application Servers.
Run the Oracle ATG Web Commerce platform installer. Follow its prompts. See Running the Platform Installer.
Run the installer programs for any other Oracle ATG Web Commerce products that you will use. See Installing Other Oracle ATG Web Commerce Products.
Install and configure the database application you will use. Create database accounts for the schemas required by your Oracle ATG Web Commerce application. Start the database application. See Basic Database Configuration.
Place the Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) driver for your database software on your host machine.
If you have installed Oracle ATG Web Commerce on Microsoft Windows, you can find the JDBC driver for MySQL at
<ATG10dir>\MySQL\mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar. You can leave the driver there and use it from that path.Run the Oracle ATG Web Commerce Configuration and Installation Manager (CIM) utility to configure your application, create database schemas, create data sources, and deploy them to your application server. See Configuration and Installation Manager (CIM).
Start your Oracle ATG Web Commerce application by invoking the start functionality of your Java application server. You can use the script that CIM creates in the
<ATG10dir>/home/servers/server-namedirectory. For example:home\servers\atg_production_lockserver\startServerOnWeblogic.bat
Note: CIM will not create a start script for the IBM WebSphere application server. Use that server’s starting scripts or administration application to start your Oracle ATG Web Commerce application. See the IBM WebSphere documentation for instructions.
