Administering
Overview of administering a WebSphere Commerce site
In WebSphere Commerce the person who performs administrative tasks is called a Site Administrator. The Site Administrator installs, configures, and maintains WebSphere Commerce and the associated software and hardware. The administrator responds to system warnings, alerts, and errors, and diagnoses and resolves system problems. Typically, this person controls access and authorization (creating and assigning members to the appropriate role), manages the Web site, monitors performance, and manages load balancing tasks. The Site Administrator might be responsible for establishing and maintaining several server configurations for different stages of development such as testing, staging, and production. The Site Administrator also handles critical system backups and resolves performance problems.

Configuration Manager

To configure a WebSphere Commerce or a WebSphere Commerce Payments instance, use the Configuration Manager. The Configuration Manager interface shows mandatory fields and provides help.

You use Configuration Manager to enable and configure various components of WebSphere Commerce and WebSphere Commerce Payments. Whenever possible, components should be enabled through the Configuration Manager rather than by modifying the WebSphere Commerce configuration file.

Important: If WebSphere Commerce remote management utilities are installed on a separate node from the WebSphere Commerce Server, both must have the same fix pack installed. Otherwise, you will be unable to use the Configuration Manager client.

WebSphere Commerce Developer Configuration Manager is not available in the WebSphere Commerce development environment.
