The Configuration and Installation Manger (CIM) reduces the complexity of configuring Oracle ATG Web Commerce applications. A series of text-based wizards guide you through configuration procedures, ensuring that necessary steps are completed, and that steps are performed in the correct order. Menus are dynamically generated based on your selections to provide choices appropriate for your installation.
The installation guides for individual products contain specific information on what CIM accomplishes for those products, but in general, CIM handles the following configuration areas:
Oracle ATG Web Commerce product selection
Data source configuration
Database table creation and data import
Oracle ATG Web Commerce server instance creation and configuration
Application assembly and deployment
The result is a functional installation that can be used as a starting point for further configuration. CIM does not perform configuration steps while the Oracle ATG Web Commerce application is running.
Note: CIM does not configure a scenario or process editor server. See the ATG Multiple Application Integration Guide for information on scenario editor servers.
