Ant targets: Creating and configuring targets
You can create and configure, the database, the application server, the Web server, WebSphere Commerce, and workspaces using Ant targets.
- Generate the createInstance.properties file
The createInstance.properties file contains mrequired parameters for the ANT targets used to create and configure instances, and must be available when these ANT targets are run. IBM recommends that you use the Configuration Manager to generate the file, and then make any adjustments that are necessary before running the ANT targets.
- ANT target: CreateInstance
CreateInstance runs all instance creation actions such as database configuration, WebSphere Application Server configuration, Web server configuration, Content Management configuration, generating WCS instance specific files and file permission settings.
- ANT target: ReconfigureCell
ReconfigureCell reconfigures the WCS instance into a new cell. ReconfigureCell regenerates the virtual hosts, WAR module bindings, Web server definition and the Web server plugin configuration file.
- ANT target: UpdateEAR
The UpdateEAR target uses a partial application (.zip) or instance configuration file (xml) to update the deployed WebSphere Commerce enterprise application.
