The goal of this roadmap is to install and configure an Oracle ATG Web Commerce Search installation that does not integrate with any other applications, but allows you to run Search Administration and index content for evaluation purposes.
Before you begin:
Make sure you have your database information at hand, and that any necessary drivers are installed.
Select a Search Deployment Share directory. See Configuring the DeployShare Directory in this guide. In a self-contained installation, this can be any local directory with enough room for your index.
To set up a search environment for evaluation:
Install your application server. See the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for information on configuring your application server.
Download and install Oracle ATG Web Commerce products:
Oracle ATG Web Commerce platform; select all components when installing. See the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.
Oracle ATG Web Commerce Search; select the Full Search Install option. See Installing Oracle ATG Web Commerce Search.
Optional HTML and PDF indexing components. See Installing HTMLFilter and Installing PDF Extract.
Create the database tables. See Configuring Search with CIM, or see Creating the Oracle ATG Web Commerce Search Database Tables in this guide for manual table creation steps.
Assemble and deploy an Oracle ATG Web Commerce application EAR file. See Configuring Search with CIM. If using a manual assembly process, include the
SearchAdmin.AdminUImodule in the EAR. See the Assembling Applications section of the Developing and Assembling Nucleus-Based Applications chapter in the ATG Platform Programming Guide for details on application assembly.Start your Oracle ATG Web Commerce application, log in, and navigate to Search Administration. See Accessing Search Administration in this chapter.
You can now create a search project, index content, and create customization data as described in the ATG Search Administration Guide. Note that without a client application, you will not be able to search your index.
