CAS relies on an instance configuration that you load into the Endeca Configuration Repository (ECR) before you run a crawl that produces MDEX-compatible output. In this release, the instance configuration is limited to dimensions, properties, and precedence rules.

For details about how to load the instance configuration, see the Configuration Import API Reference (Javadoc) that is installed with Tools and Frameworks (ToolsAndFrameworks\<version>\config_import_api\apidoc).

Once the instance configuration is loaded into the ECR, you can adjust, test, and make small modifications to the index configuration by using the Index Configuration Command-line Utility. For details about this utility, see "Modifying Index Configuration for an Application" in the Oracle Commerce Guided Search Administrator's Guide.
