This manual assumes you are using a CAS-based deployment template for your EAC applications, as described in the Oracle Commerce Guided Search Administrator’s Guide. If you are creating new EAC applications, it is highly recommended that you use this type of deployment template.
If you have EAC applications created in an earlier release, they may be using an older Forge-based deployment template such as the one described in the Oracle Endeca Commerce Deployment Template Module for Product Catalog Integration Usage Guide in the Oracle Endeca Commerce Tools and Frameworks 11.0 documentation.

If you choose the latter option, you will need to reconfigure several Oracle Commerce Platform components, because the default configuration of these components now assumes the use of a CAS-based template.
This appendix describes the configuration changes needed for Oracle Commerce Platform components to work with EAC applications that use an older Forge-based Oracle Commerce Guided Search deployment template. It discusses the following topics:
