The Configuration and Installation Manger (CIM) reduces the complexity of configuring Oracle Commerce Platform applications. A series of text-based wizards guide you through configuration procedures, ensuring that necessary steps are completed, and that steps are performed in the correct order. Menus are dynamically generated based on your selections to provide choices appropriate for your installation.
The installation guides for individual products contain specific information on what CIM accomplishes for those products, but in general, CIM handles the following configuration areas:
Oracle Commerce Platform product selection
Data source configuration
Database table creation and data import
Oracle Commerce Platform server instance creation and configuration
Application assembly and deployment
The result is a functional installation that can be used as a starting point for further configuration. CIM does not perform configuration steps while the Oracle Commerce Platform application is running.
Note: CIM does not configure a scenario or process editor server. See the Multiple Application Integration Guide for information on scenario editor servers.
