If the Oracle Commerce Platform and Oracle Commerce Guided Search with Experience Manager are installed on different machines, you must create a directory that is shared between the two machines. This directory is used to store a ZIP file that contains content that is created by Experience Manager and then accessed by the Assembler.
Note that Guided Search with Experience Manager does not support the AIX operating system; therefore, if you are installing the Oracle Commerce Platform on AIX, you must install Guided Search with Experience Manager on a separate Linux, Windows, or Solaris machine and set up the shared directory.
As you progress through this guide, you will be notified when you need to point to this shared directory during configuration process. Be careful to use the shared directory’s path instead of the default path that is provided.
To create the shared archive directory:
On the machine where Guided Search with Experience Manager is installed, create a directory, for example,
/usr/local/application_export_archiveorC:\application_export_archive, and share it.On the machine where the Oracle Commerce Platform is installed, mount the shared
application_export_archivedirectory.
