Collaboration features in UCM 11g

I have a requirement where I need to implement collaboration on a content in UCM
11g.Users will be able to provide comments on a content which I need to show in
the content info page.
I want to know the best possible way to achieve this.Is any out of box component
available for this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Dipankar

There are several levels how to achieve that:
1. the simplest one is using a metadata field - there is one called Comment. The obvious disadvantage is that it has limited length (2K characters), and users may overwrite comments of the others
2. a more advanced, and I believe it could be sufficient to your needs, is using discussions (Threaded Discussion component). You may find details about this component here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10797/c04_working_with_files.htm#CSUSG884
3. even more advanced, but need additional licenses, is creation of context-aware comments (mark-ups), often to non-editable formats. The advantage of that approach is that a user is able to place his or her comment directly in the place where the comment is relevant. UCM is integrated with AutoVue, an Oracle application, which is capable of that. Also, OnTrack (renamed to Oracle Social Network) has this feature, and I believe in the future this is probably the direction to go.

Collaboration Manager in UCM 11g

Hi,
I am not able to find the Collaboration Manager component for UCM 11g. However when I Installed the Collaboration manager component available with 10gR3, my UI was distorted in 11g instance. All the Images destroyed. I want to use Collaboration manager on 11g, Any ideas, kindly advise.
Regards,
Bharat

Hi
CollabManager is no more available for UCM 11g onwards . The 10g component will not be compatible with 11g ucm and thats the reason why you are seeing all the images distorted and not right. I guess you should take a look at Frameworks Folder which looks like it will be able to offer the same (not tested yet by me) features as available with Collab Manager .
Thanks

Is Collaboration manager disappeared in UCM 11g ?

Hi,
Collaboration Manager component seems to be disappeared in UCM 11g. Anybody has news about this module ?
Thanks
Hugues

Judging by this statemet from the Services Reference (2-1) I would say that Collaboration Manager is dead.
The core services are still supported but I guess it is no longer available
"The CollaborationManager component and its services have been removed
because the product is not supported in 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). Core collaboration
services have been moved to the Core Services chapter."
Of course the only real truth has to come from product management or license sales.

Help required in exploring collaboration feature

Hi All,
I am a newbie in oracle BPM, wanted to explore collaboration feature in oracle soa suite 11.1.1.7 version.
followed the document as on http://www.oracle.com/us/products/oracle-bpm-11g-report11117-1908473.pdf
I need help in exploring the feature as per the screenshot on page no 12 on the above document.
feature: the left dashlet where written: *"Members, James Cooper Participant ..."*.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi Siva,
Firstly get the complete details of the collabration ,what it does ,why it is used and how the configurations are made ,i am provding you the maximum information hope it would help you any more queries get back with reply.
Collaboration Launch Pad (CLP) allows portal users to manage their contacts and launch services for collaboration. Users use a link in the tool area of the masthead to launch the CLP,then activate clp and Activate the technical component Real-Time Collaboration (RTC).
RTC provide the standard services instant messaging and application sharing.
With these technical components, you also activate the Real-Time Messaging Framework (RTMF). In the portal, the RTMF is the technical infrastructure for transferring real-time event between servers and clients.
so, After installing the Collaboration component in SAP NetWeaver, you need to complete a number of configuration steps in order to fully implement Real-Time Collaboration (RTC) in the portal. RTC provides both application sharing and instant messaging in the portal.
for the steps You can look into these steps which would help you :

Oracle UCM 11G missing Web Form Editor

Hello All,
Oracle 10G UCM provided a WebForm Editor. After installation of newer version Oracle UCM 11G we found the feature is missing.
Is there a substitute provided by Oracle in 11G version for the same?
We need to provide functionality to end users where they could go and create some forms on their own. We were thinking to use Web-Form Editor for the same, but to our surprise we found the feature is missing.
Can anyone suggest if we are missing something. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Kent,
You're correct that the general UCM docs don't include that detail, but the FormEditor component readme.txt does include that info. I didn't open the readme.doc, but the readme says that there's more info in there.
From the component readme:
<snip>
Updated 2010-02-16
The HTML editor UI is now only enabled if the configuration parameter HasWebFormEditorUI is set
to true. See BUG 9218712
</snip>
Thanks,

Missing features in UCM for decision making based on cost vs needs

Hi Experts,
I understand that UCM is a component in ECM. However what I'd like to know and can't seem to find anywhere is a summary or explanation on missing core features of UCM that can be found in IPM, URM and IRM. For example, a feature that is highlighted in URM is digital asset management however digital asset can also be stored in UCM.
I need to know briefly (high level, mid level if it is necessary) on the missing features in UCM that are in IRM, IPM and URM so I can decide on going between ECM or UCM, taking cost into factor. FYI I will be having WebCenter too and future add on will be BPM suite.
Thank you,
bav

bav,
first, let me correct few things in your statements:
I understand that UCM is a component in ECMECM (Suite) is a suite of products, one of which is UCM.
Since 11g, IPM and URM have been re-written so that they have UCM as its foundation (document storage). URM was UCM-like even in 10g, IPM was quite different.
IRM is a completely different application, which can serve as a security add-on regardless the document storage.
For example, a feature that is highlighted in URM is digital asset management however digital asset can also be stored in UCMWhere have you found that? DAM is certainly a UCM feature (can't imagine correlation to Records Management, if there is some, it is with Web Content Management).
I guess you have seen that both URM and UCM both contain Record Management - in a nutshell, UCM's RM can be used for simpler scenarios (sometimes referred to as 'retention management'), whilst URM is necessary for formal records management scenarios - compliance to legislative norms, such as DoD 5015.2 or MoReq2. URM also contains Physical Content Management.
missing features in UCM that are in IRM, IPM and URMFor URM, I believe, to get a high level info is enough what I've written above.
For IPM, see this post: Re: Difference between UCM and IPM
For IRM: as I have written, it is a completely different cup of tea - in a nutshell, IRM allows so-called 'sealing' of documents. E.g. rather than having a Microsoft Word file (.doc), you will have encrypted file (.sdoc - 'sealed' .doc), which a user can open only if he or she is authorized to do so. Whilst security in UCM/URM/IPM restricts users from having access to documents (or search for them), IRM restricts reading the document once you have it. It can also restrict other operations like print, copy from the document (even to screenshot), prevent untracked changes, etc.
I hope it will give you some initial insight.

UCM 11g change user password

Hi,
I am not able to find out how users could change their passwords.
It is about UCM 11g.
Pls if anybody knows to tell me
Thanks in advance

This was actually the first custom component I created for 11g.
You should look into the 'self' features that are available in ldap security options. For example, as it seems that we're talking about the embedded ldap here:
for weblogic embedded server, add to acls.prop:
ou=people,ou=myrealm,dc=ecm_domain|subtree#grant:r,w,o,s#userpassword#this:
This will let people use their current password to bind into ldap and change their own password. they won't be able to change other passwords. This works well and you can put together a template that has the standard change pw format:
current password:
new password:
confirm password:
at least that's what I put together.

Integrate UCM 11g with SES 10g

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to connect SES 10g with UCM 11g? In the certification matrix of ECM 11g it says:
Installation Type               Version Supported     Category                    Product                    Version                    Additional Comments / Exceptions
"Oracle UCM Oracle URM"     11gR1 (11.1.1.3+)     Search Crawler Integration     Secure Enterprise Search     10g (10.1.8.4) 11g (11.1.2)     Crawler integration.
"Oracle UCM Oracle URM"     11gR1 (11.1.1.3+)     Search (Full-text)               Secure Enterprise Search     11g (11.1.2)               For use as full-text search engine for UCM.
Does this mean that SES 10g cannot be used as full text search engine with UCM 11g?
Another related question: I seem to recall that starting from UCM 11g documents are stored in the database instead of on the file system by default. Is this true, and does this also require an 11g database version? I cannot find anything about this in the installation guide.

Stijn

Hi Bill,
Unfortunately we're dealing with a Windows stack, and SES 11g isn't out yet for Windows.
Regarding your second point: you guys at Fishbowl really have a solution for everything ;-).
Have you also been able to solve the question I posted here: Region templates from Site Studio used in Webcenter applicaton
@Stijn wrote:
Basically we're developing a portal application in WebCenter and we want to store pages as content in UCM. We also want to make use of the Site Studio
contribution editor as this is the only way I see to be able to have a rich text editor with inline images.
Btw: what I'm still looking for is a way for a user to easily upload and use an image from within the rich text editor. The basic feature is that when you want to
insert an image, a search result of images is shown. This isn't really useful, as the number images might also increase to a 1000 or more.

Accounts in UCM 11g from external LDAP provider

Hi,
We are developing an application using UCM 11g. For authentication and authorization we are using external LDAP. Following are the steps followed to configure the UCM 11g for external LDAP.
1) Created User and Groups directory in LDAP
2) Created user and group in LDAP.
3) Assigned users to the groups.
3) Created accounts in group directory .Account name start with @ and ends with (RW)
4) Created a new provider in WLS.
5) Created a new JpsProvider in UCM.
Now, roles(groups in LDAP) and user are coming properly form LDAP. but the accounts are populating in UCM.
Can anybody tell me the solution for this problem
Thanks in advance..

In theory there is no limit, but as with most of the products and features inside the Content Server it comes down to design and size impacting performance.
So there is no simple answer.
The more complex answer is you need to try to keep things as simple as possible while still completing your goals.
For instance the Folders component in 11g is limited (hard coded) to 1000 files per folder maximum due to performance degradation if you put more in your folders. Many people just try to put more in and before the hard coded limit in 11g people did and their folders browsing became almost unusable due to slow browsing of the folder structure and files in side.
Similarly with Security we can impact performance with too many security groups, badly designed Roles to access security groups or badly designed Account structures. Notice I only said "too many" on Security groups but not "too many" on Accounts. You should try never to go above 25 security groups (this is not a hard coded limit just a best practice) and the "badly designed" part of roles and accounts can lead to bad performance and even broken security.
It comes down to DB performance, DB limitations and code limits.
First off be aware that there is a limit on how long a query in the DB can be. Commands and SQL in the DB are not endlessly long, there is a maximum number of characters. Keep that in mind as we go along into the next parts.
Second be aware that if you make a badly built query it will take a long long time.
Third be aware that when you are building security models in UCM these security structures go DIRECTLY to DB queries and remember the above 2 points.
So every search in UCM is a query when you take it back to the DB level, and every search requires a behind the scenes security check to make sure you can read the documents you are searching for. So any query built in the search interface gets an additional set of parameters automatically when executed (security).
So now we need to also think about your Metadata and not just the Security on that limited length DB back end. Do your users have 99 metadata fields (I hope not) and if they do do they use most of them while searching? How long will that query be before you add the security query?
Back to the security parts with accounts.
If you have your users having only a few roles providing only access to a small number of security groups and those same users only having a few accounts then searches will get a short security access query added since the number of additional checks for security are small. If the roles and group accesses and account accesses are very large (to the extreme limit) again this will be easy to make a short query due to the small number of excluded security roles and accounts.
BUT and this is a biggie. IF the users are given a number of roles and accounts that is middle of the road for number of total accesses then the query is as long as it can be and if the metadata is complex and large too then you may be running into the limit of Query string in the DB and your query may get truncated which results in a broken security model maybe.
That is not even talking about the efficiency of the query and how long it takes.....
Sorry for the book like reply to your simple question, but it really is not a simple question. :)

Howto install Related Content component on UCM 11g

Hi,
I did install URM 11g to test the Related Content component.
Does the component also work with UCM 11g. Are there any special metafields required?
Another problem is that I can't build the Related Content component, cause it is not listed in the URM ComponentWizard.
Greetings
Bodhy

Hi Bodhy,
Yes it does work with UCM 11g
It is a little hidden but can be installed as follows
Admin Server > Component Manager
In the first paragraph click on the link to advanced component manager
THen on the this page find the text
"If you really wish to modify URM components from this page, please click _here_. " and click the link
You should now find that the RelatedContent component can be enabled just for UCM.
Please mark this one as answered (if it works of course) as it may well be useful to other people looking for this hidden feature!

UCM 11g gives error while opening systemproperties in production

UCM 11g is giving error while opening systemproperties in production mode, it says root user cannot install it.Please suggest.

do you have any directories owned by root? I've seen some nfs issues change ownership of mounted directories when they're remounted.
is anything in the /bin/ directory owned by root?
I think you should be safe to chown back to your install user.

UCM 11g File missing from search result although file is accessable

When I do search without any criteria in UCM 11g, some files missing from search result although I know the files were checked into UCM already since I'm able to see these files using url similar to:
http://ucm/cs/idcplg?idcService=GET_FILE&dID=12345
or use following url to get document information:
http://ucm/cs/idcplg?idcService=DOC_INFO&dID=12345
the file is not in the search resule even search by ID.
also, the seach result say "displaying 1-20" but only display few files (e.g. 2 files, less than 20)
Is this a known problem? the same search was working in UCM 10 perfectly.
Thanks

The query seems able to retrieve the missing document. for example, I search by content ID, in the audit log (eanbled as you mentioned) give th efollowing information:
fusionappsattachments/6 09.13 06:22:03.878 IdcServer-3474 --- @ResultSet SearchResults ---
fusionappsattachments/6 09.13 06:22:03.878 IdcServer-3474 numFields=66,*numRows=1*,currentRow=0
also, the infomation following above give the deteail field information which match with the missing document.
I looks like UCM just did not bring it to UI as part of search result.
This seems match with my another finding as I mentioned earlier: the seach result say "displaying 1-20" but only display few files (e.g. 2 files, less than 20)
it seems query did find the documents but UI did not show it.
Not sure if this is a known bug.
