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.
ConfigureCommerceServer
The ConfigureCommerceServer executes steps to configure the WebSphere Application Server for the WebSphere Commerce instance. The target creates a profile, web server definition, virtual hosts, data source, and installs the WebSphere Commerce enterprise application. Finally, the web server plug-in configuration file is generated.
PrimeInstanceXmlInTempEAR
PrimeInstanceXmlInTempEAR inserts the instance configuration XML file into the deployable WebSphere Commerce EAR.

PrimeInstanceXmlInTempEAR inserts the instance configuration XML file into the deployable WebSphere Commerce EAR.
