The Configuration and Installation Manager (CIM) is a utility that simplifies Oracle ATG Web Commerce product configuration. It ensures that all configuration steps are completed in the correct order. Use CIM to configure Oracle ATG Web Commerce products after you have installed them. See more information about installing Oracle ATG Web Commerce and the CIM utility in the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.
Before configuring Oracle ATG Web Commerce Business Intelligence using CIM, do the following in addition to the standard installation prerequisites:
Create a database user account for the data warehouse schema. Make sure you have the connection information for the database server.
Create a database user account for the data warehouse loader server schema. Make sure you have the connection information for the database server.
Identify a directory for log files. Both your Oracle ATG Web Commerce operational servers and the data warehouse loader server must have access to this directory. See Log Files.
To configure Oracle ATG Web Commerce Business Intelligence with CIM, choose the Reporting add-on during the Product Selection step. This option is available from the Choose Addons menu.
-------CHOOSE ADDONS :--------------------------------------------------- enter [h]elp, [m]ain menu, [q]uit to exit Choose AddOns : [1] Reporting [2] Staging Server [3] Preview Server [4] Dedicated Lock Servers [5] Abandoned Order Services [D] Done Select zero or more > 1
When you choose the Reporting add on, CIM performs several additional steps during the configuration process. These include:
Creating a data warehouse database schema during the Database Configuration step
Creating a database schema for the data warehouse loader server during the Database Configuration step
Installing a data warehouse loader server during the Server Instance Configuration step
Choosing a log file directory during the Server Instance Configuration step. See Log Files.
Note: You will need the user account and connection information for the data warehouse schema again when you configure Oracle Business Intelligence. See Configuring Oracle Business Intelligence.
