Oracle Commerce Platform applications require one or more relational database schemas. If you are installing a server for evaluation or development use, you may need only one database schema. The Configuration and Installation Manager (CIM) utility determines what schemas are required and configure them later in this procedure. Make sure your database software is running before you use CIM to configure your Oracle Commerce Platform application.
If you need detailed information about databases for a production installation, see Configuring Databases and Database Access.
