ANT is already part of “SAP Commerce” package. No need to download separately.
Q = Where can we see the “ANT Tool”?

Step 7 = Installing the “SAP Comm” by installer Recipes
SAP Comm – provides installer recipes for “Development / Demo” purpose.
Do not use the installer to install “SAP Comm” in production environment.
Recipes === Accelerator === Template === eComm Flavor [B2C … B2B … Telco …].
Q = Where can we see the available recipes? = C:\rrrssoftware\installer\recipes

Note: - Before installing recipes [1905 / 2005], we need to set “Administration Password”.
If we take – “5.X / 6.X / 1808 / 1811” == Default passwords are “admin & nimda”.
But, for security reasons, “SAP Comm [1905 / 2005]” comes with no default password for
the Administration users. So, we need to set the password before “build / initialize” the
system 1st time.
Q = How to set the default password for admin users?

For “SAP Commerce Cloud” --- Contact Us = [email protected]

Now – Install the Recipe by using Installer: -
[Windows System] Syntax = C:\rrrssoftware\installer>install.bat -r cx
[Mac System] Syntax = C:\rrrssoftware\installer>install.sh -r cx

Step 8 = Do the Build now

For build purpose – We can use “ANT Tool / Maven Tool / …”.
ANT tool has – Different commands / targets for Build purpose: -
1) ant clean all 2) ant all 3) ant customize all 4) Extgen
5) modulegen 6) deploy 7) ant production 8) ===

Syntax [1st time] = C:\rrrssoftware\hybris\bin\platform>ant clean all (or)

Syntax = C:\rrrssoftware\hybris\bin\platform>ant all

For “SAP Commerce Cloud” --- Contact Us = [email protected]

Step 9 = After Build Successful [After Step 8] --- Perform Initialization [INIT]
C:\rrrssoftware1\hybris\bin\platform>ant initialize

Note: - Required tables [Cart … Order … User … Products …] for eCommerce Site will be
created during the Initialization.

Step 10 = After Initialization [After Step 9] Start the Hybris Server

[Windows System] Syntax = C:\rrrssoftware\hybris\bin\platform>hybrisserver.bat
[Mac System] Syntax = C:\rrrssoftware\hybris\bin\platform>hybrisserver.sh

Step 11 = [Optional] After Server Starts, Do the “Initialization [INIT]” from hAC [1st time only]
Note: - If we completed successfully “Step 9” then we don’t need to do this Step 11.

For “SAP Commerce Cloud” --- Contact Us = [email protected]

 Note: - INIT generally takes 1 – 3 Hrs depends on your PC.
We should not do below when INIT is happening: -
1) Don’t close the browser
2) Don’t close the command window
3) Make sure your system is not going in sleeping mode
Note: - If any happens above then there is a possibility that, you might not get 100%
accurate results.
