The following Oracle ATG Web Commerce applications run on the asset management cluster:
ATG Content Administration
Merchandising
Search Administration (necessary for ATG Search installations only. Search Administration is not required if you use Endeca products to perform catalog searches.)
Site Administration
These applications are available through the Business Control Center to internal users with the appropriate roles. With these applications, Internal users complete content creation and asset management tasks such as maintaining product catalogs, setting up promotions, and creating e-mail marketing campaigns. Administrators use the Business Control Center to manage internal and external users, organizations, roles, internal user segments, and deployments from the asset management cluster to the customer-facing cluster.
Search Administration runs on the asset management cluster and is installed as part of ATG Search.
Site Administration also runs on the asset management cluster. This utility is used to configure Web sites for use in a multisite ATG environment (one in which a single ATG installation supports more than one Web site, and data such as user profiles or a shopping cart is shared among the sites). For more information on this utility, refer to the ATG Multisite Administration Guide.
The asset management cluster uses the default internal scenario server. In addition, if you want this cluster to manage scenarios that are deployed to the customer-facing server, configure an external individual scenario server on this cluster.
If the ATG Content Administration asset preview feature is enabled, this cluster includes a repository of Preview users. An external Preview scenario server is required to preview external users.
For details about using the Preview feature, see the following documents:
