This section provides basic instructions for installing the Oracle Commerce Platform. Use these instructions to configure evaluation or development applications or as an overview of the steps required to install and deploy production Oracle Commerce Platform applications.
Following the installation procedure in this section results in a functional server configuration but the procedure does not contain all the information you need to meet the more sophisticated requirements of live, production use. If you are installing the Oracle Commerce Platform for production use, make sure to read the more detailed configuration information in the other chapters of this guide. This section refers to those chapters where they are needed.
To install the Oracle Commerce Platform:
Install and configure the Java Development Kit (JDK) on your host machine. You need to know the path to your JDK installation directory later in this installation procedure.
To find the required JDK version and the required versions of other supporting software, refer to the Oracle Commerce Supported Environments document in the My Oracle Support knowledge base.
Install and configure the Java application server to use. See Preparing Java Application Servers.
Run the Oracle Commerce Platform installer. Follow its prompts. See Running the Platform Installer.
Run the installer programs for any other Oracle Commerce products that you want to use. See Installing Other Oracle Commerce Platform Products.
Install and configure the database application you use. Ensure that you have the latest hot fixes, fix patches or other updates needed for your database. Create database accounts for the schemas required by your Oracle Commerce Platform application. Start the database application. See Basic Database Configuration.
Place the Java Data Base Connectivity (JDBC) driver for your database software on your host machine.
If you have installed the Oracle Commerce Platform on Microsoft Windows, you can find the JDBC driver for MySQL at
<ATG11dir>\MySQL\mysql-connector-java-version_number-bin.jar. You can leave the driver there and use it from that path.Run the Configuration and Installation Manager (CIM) utility to configure your application, create database schemas, create data sources, and deploy them to your application server. See Configuration and Installation Manager (CIM).
Start your Oracle Commerce Platform application by invoking the start functionality of your Java application server. You can use the script that CIM creates in the
<ATG11dir>/home/servers/server-namedirectory. For example:home\servers\atg_production_lockserver\startServerOnWeblogic.bat
Note: CIM does not create a start script for the IBM WebSphere application server. Use that server’s starting scripts or administration application to start your Oracle Commerce Platform application. See the IBM WebSphere documentation for instructions.
