Ant target: RegisterInstance
RegisterInstance generates the master instance configuration XML file and registers the instance into the Configuration Manager tool. RegisterInstance can be used to regenerate the master instance configuration XML file based on the property values in the Ant properties file.
Important: This Ant target is to be used only as a part of WebSphere Commerce
instance creation.
Note: Any customizations made in Configuration Manager or manually to the
instance.xml file will be lost if you run this target.
The master instance configuration file is contained in these files:
- WC_installdir/instances/instance_name/xml/instance_name.xml
- WC_userdir/instances/instance_name/xml/instance_name.xml
The instance property values are contained in these files:
- WC_installdir/instances/instance_name/properties/createInstance.properties
- WC_userdir/instances/instance_name/properties/createInstance.properties
