Ant targets
A WebSphere Commerce instance can be created from the command line. The command-line utility uses Apache Ant to create the objects required. The targets are divided into several high-level groups that correspond to the environment that is to be configured.
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.
CreateInstance
CreateInstance runs all instance creation actions such as database configuration, WebSphere Application Server configuration, Web server configuration, Content Management configuration, generating WebSphere Commerce instance-specific files and file permission settings.
ConfigureDatabase
ConfigureDatabase creates a database with schema, and populates the schema with the WebSphere Commerce bootstrap data.
CreateSchema
CreateSchema creates the WebSphere Commerce tables, auxiliaries, keys, indexes, views, and triggers.
