Configuring and Deploying an Oracle ATG Web Commerce Site Rel 10

This hands-on course teaches the core skills required by a system administrator for configuring, deploying and maintaining an Oracle ATG Web Commerce application. The course labs give you the opportunity to design and implement a fully functioning ATG site. You will get to practice installing ATG, setting up required databases, configuring an ATG application for a production environment, and deploying staging, production and administration servers. You will also learn about the ATG project life-cycle and how to use provided tools to test and monitor a live site.
