CIM simplifies product configuration by providing scripts that configure Commerce Service Center. The scripts allow you to identify the components used within your environment, as well as add-on applications. Using CIM ensures that all necessary steps are completed and are performed in the correct order.
Note: It is a best practice to install Commerce Service Center using CIM.
CIM handles the following configuration steps:
Creates data sources according to the database connection information you supplied, including those needed for Search, reporting and other add-ons
Creates database tables and imports initial data
Creates and configures ATG application servers, including a dedicated indexing server, a lock manager and required loader servers
Assembles your application EAR files for each ATG server, including modules for the Agent, Production and Data Warehouse load servers, as well as DCS-CSR and Fulfillment modules for Agents
Deploys EAR files to your application server and allows you to start up the agent-facing, customer-facing and load servers
Allows you to add custom modules
