Install

This solution library has been tested to support a broad range of platform technologies and application topologies, far beyond the scope of this documentation to cover comprehensively. In general, you can assume that the library supports all major release of the ATG Commerce Platform deployed to both DAS and JBoss application servers on both Linux/Unix and Windows servers. Additionally, a number of common database servers (e.g. Oracle, MsSQL and Solid) are supported.

In order to document the journey to a working solution from a "standing start", the following assumptions are made:

• The goal is to deploy the Pioneer Cycling demonstration sample application to a single box.
• Pioneer Cycling is to be built and deployed to the JBoss application server running on a Linux system.
• Catalog and other data will be stored in the Solid database system distributed with the ATG Commerce Platform.

Specifically, then, for this demonstration of the solution library the following software versions are required:

• ATG Commerce Platform 2006.3
• JBoss 4.0.3sp1
• JDK 1.5.0
• Ant 1.7.0
• CentOS release 4.5 (Final), or Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 update 2 or better

In addition, the availability of the following tools in your general environment is assumed:

• Subversion 1.1.4, or later
• Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.17, or later (installed as "/usr/bin/cvs")

This library assumes you have installed the latest stable release of the ControlTier platform software on a a designated server host and one or more client hosts. Refer to the general installation procedures for more info.

You will need to know the URL to the Workbench and JobCenter applications.

Binary distributions of the solution library can be found in the "File Releases" section of the ModuleForge Download page on Sourceforge. The package is called "Atg Module Library" and will be named something like: atg-x.y-seed.jar where "x.y" denotes the version.

It is always suggested to download the latest release.

All work is done within the context of a "project". You may already have a project in mind, or you may wish to create a new one just for the use of this library.

1. Navigate to the Admin page. (eg., go to the URL: http://localhost:8080/itnav/do/menu/Admin
2. Press the "Create Project" button. (eg., go to the URL: http://localhost:8080/itnav/do/projects/Input
   Note

   If you are following this documentation verbatim in order to configure the Pioneer Cycling demonstration, create a project called "PioneerCycling".
3. Fill out the form and press "Create" button. It takes a few minutes for the new project to be created.

Once you have chosen the desired project, you can load the library into that project.

Be sure you have already logged into Workbench and selected the desired project where you want the library loaded. If you just created a new project, you are all ready.

1. Navigate to the Admin page. (eg., go to the URL: http://localhost:8080/itnav/do/menu/Admin
2. Press the "Import Seed" button. (eg., go to the URL: http://localhost:8080/itnav/do/projects/ImportSeedInput
3. Locate and select the content-seed-x.y.jar file in the file chooser. This is the same file you downloaded in step #2.
4. Press the "Import" button.
