Installing SAP Commerce Cloud v2211

The following instructions describe how to install and configure SAP Commerce Cloud release 2211. In these instructions, SAP Commerce Cloud is installed to your local computer, so localhost is used in the browser URLs.

Important Disclaimers

  • SAP Commerce Cloud ships with all users inactive and without passwords. These users may need to be restored to certain back-end functionality to work. For example, although you will be able to add products to cart and check out, certain users are required to fulfill orders with Order Management as used in the default cx recipe. For more information, and for a sample ImpEx that enables such users, see Setting Passwords for Default Users on the SAP Help Portal.

  • SAP Commerce Cloud ships without a default admin password. You must specify a password when a running recipe commands, or you can specify a password in a file named custom.properties that is stored in CXCOMM*/installer/customconfig. The sample custom.properties file included in these instructions contains the default password nimda. We strongly recommend you change this password to suit your requirements, as it should not be used for production servers. For more information, seeSetting Admin Password with a Recipe.

  • The sample custom properties file supplied here is for evaluation purposes only. We strongly recommend that a professional SAP Commerce Cloud administrator review these settings to suit your requirements, as they should not be used for production servers.
