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,
-ryan

How do we customize the default CKEditor for Web Form Editor in UCM 10gR3?

Our customers are using the Web Form Editor for some WYSIWYG changes. The form has too many options and they would like to limit what the users can do. We have attempted to make changes to the following files to customize the CKEditor for Web Form Editor and cannot see our changes reflected after saving/restarting Content Server.
Instance\weblayout\webform\ckeditor\config.js
Instance\weblayout\resources\wcm\3rdparty\fckeditor\fckconfig.js
Instance\custom\FCKEditor\webform\ckeditor\config.js
To test a simple change we tried adding the following to change the toolbar options.
CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config )
config.toolbar = 'MyToolbar';
config.toolbar_MyToolbar =
['NewPage','Preview'],
['Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteFromWord','-','Scayt'],
['Undo','Redo','-','Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','RemoveFormat'],
['Image','Table','HorizontalRule','Smiley','SpecialChar','PageBreak'],
['Styles','Format'],
['Bold','Italic','Strike'],
['NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent'],
['Link','Unlink','Anchor'],
['Maximize','-','About']
There isn't much standard documentation on this out of the box feature and I've searched Oracle Support with no luck.

Posting the answer:
You need to make the changes to the webforms component inside the ~\custom\FormEditor\templates\fe_config.js file. Then propagate your changes using the Administration > Actions > Publish layout files page.
One more quick question - where do we limit the Styles, Fonts, Sizes, Colors?
in the same file we added lines similar to the following to limit the fonts,
styles....
CKEDITOR.config.font_names = 'Arial;Times New Roman;Verdana';
CKEDITOR.config.fontSize_sizes = '16/16px;24/24px;48/48px;';

How Indexing function in Oracle UCM 11g

Hello All,
I am using Oracle UCM 11g on Windows platform.
I wanted to know as how the indexing in Oracle UCM Funtions? Here are few more questions related to this.
1. If multiple language characters are added in document and if document is indexed, then
how the data (tokens) will be stored in Database?
2. How the search will function

Hi
1. If multiple language characters are added in document and if document is indexed, then
a. how the data (tokens) will be stored in Database?
This is stored in the DB tables IdcColl1 or IdcColl2 ( if DB FullText is search indexer engine) and table would be IdcText1 or IdcText2(if OracleTextSearch indexer is used) . It is these tables that store the entire data from the contents and they are referred to / queried when a FT search is invoked from UCM .
b. how indexing will be done?
Indexer would extract all the data from the contents in case of FT indexer mechanism and would store them in the DB tables mentioned above . It is stored in BLOB columns where in the extraction process would do an insert for every content item that is being processed when Collection Rebuild Cycle / Automatic Update cycle is started .
2. What is settings to be done in Oracle and search engine for this?
For DB the relevant UCM scripts need to be executed so that the correct role are created and the packages are created.
3. What will be extra settings need to be done in case if the OS changes for example Linux.
The relevant libraries need to be checked to make sure that indexer can access them since there are lots of dependent libraries for the indexer process which is invoked by the TextExport process and these libraries vary for different OS . As part of the indexer process to be running fine all that needs to be done is to install/enable the OS specific versions of ContentAccess component on UCM .
Hope this gives an understanding on the Indexing part of UCM .
Thanks

Oracle UCM 11g Config with DB

Hi,
I have configured Oracle UCM 11g in oracle sql developer, but am not able to see the tables related to Oracle UCM..(ex: Revisions, Docmeta).
Any documentation on this or any one faced this kind of issue.
Thanks...

I'd suggest you to follow the Installation guide - see Oracle&reg; Fusion Middleware Installing and Configuring Oracle WebCenter Content 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) - Contents
In a nutshell, tables (and everything else in the data model) are created by a utility called RCU. This is one pre-req to run the installation. Another issue could be that you have done installation, but you don't use the correct db user (scheme owner) to connect. The correct user for an installed instance can be obtain from the Weblogic admin console.

Oracle UCM 11g Vs Oracle UCM10g

Hi,
I want to know the difference between Oracle UCM11g and Oracle UCM10g.
1. Whats the primary benefit for the client for chosing Oracle UCM 11g than Oracle UCM 10g.
2. Whats are all the changes added in UCM11g from customization perspective.
- Is Component Architecture is followed in UCM 11g
- Is IdocScript/Resource ,Template,Service,Service Handler,Filter are still exist and customization is possible through them?
Thanks & Regards,
Karai

biggest differences
1. You need WebLogic for 11g. 11g UCM runs as a java application inside of WLS.
2. WLS handles all security. UCM no longer controls security. There are NO local users (except for running the stand alone apps) anymore. All users are outside in a AD or LDAP store of some kind.
Ramifications:
1. For large enterprise systems the clustering and management available for WLS make a system extremely scalable.
2. Any beneficial properties of WLS now apply to UCM (there are many but I am not a WLS expert)
3. if UCM is all you need and you are not planning a clustered system and your hardware is not the most current.... then maybe 10 g is a better choice. Maybe.
4. Customization for the CS is unchanged, but things like security being different will break some customizations. As with any upgrade some includes and some resources change and thus break an existing component. Test custom components fully.

Autonomy Oracle UCM connector to access Oracle UCM 11g

Hi,
How do I setup Oracle UCM 11g instance so that we can test the Autonomy Oracle UCM connector? Are there any specific configurations or do we need to install anything to make Autonomy Oracle UCM connector to access Oracle UCM 11g. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Autonomy sells a connector that will index items in Oracle UCM into the IDOL Server. You'll have to check with Autonomy on the versions supported and the cost. With this, you could get UCM information into IDOL just the same as you are doing with HTTPFetch and FileSystemFetch.
As for connecting UCM into the WLP Virtual Content Repository, there is not yet anything provided out of the box. However, you can implement your own CM SPI to provide this or you can wait for the product to provide it. It is my understanding that there will be a VCR integration via the CM SPI coming soon.
Finally, BEACMRepoFetch is basically a pre-configured and privately used instance of FileSystemFetch. This is used by the BEA Content Repository to populate the IDOL Server index for full text searches coming through the VCR full text search API.

Web Form Editor - basic help needed!

I must be the world's dumbest designer. I am trying to create a contact form in Business Catalyst to be placed in Muse. Now, I use Muse because I know very little about coding, so that is probably why I am struggling so bad creating this form. Typically, I use the form building widget in Muse to create my forms, but my client would like to include a dropdown list and an "add file" function to the form. I have watched a couple videos on youtube on how to set up a form, but I am getting hung up on the formatting. The form technically has everything I need, but it is horribly ugly! I have tried using the "Customize Web Form" option within BC (as well as the Style Builder), but nothing I do makes any difference.
See for yourself:
THis is what the form looks like in Muse. I manually added the blue box in Muse. There are so many things wrong I don't know where to start! The form fields are too small, I can't change the font or color and I want to get rid of the Title. I have tried playing with the code, but nothing works. Is there a tutorial somewhere teaching us how to edit a form using the built in web form editor?
Thank you so much for your help!

You need to assign a class to each input element and then target those classes with CSS.
Example:
<input type="text" name="FirstName" id="FirstName" class="cat_textbox" maxlength="255">
CSS:
.cat_textbox {
width: 300px;
height: 25px;
border-radius: 3px;
box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px 0 #DADADA;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px 0 #DADADA;
border-color: #B6B6B6;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
I can help you out more in a few hours. I highly recommend learning as much CSS & HTML as you can.

What file types are included PDFExportConverter for Oracle UCM 11g (PS3)

For UCM 11g PS3 or later, (WebCenter Content if you prefer), I am trying to find out the list of file types supported for conversion to PDF, and which are out of the box, and which need a 3rd party download.
Is there any documentation that lists supported file types, and how to get any 3rd party converters?
This is very urgent as the customer needs to put in their budget and include any costs associated with 3rd party converters.
Thanks

Hi
I believe this should be good enough to have the details :

Need Help | Oracle UCM 11g | Creation of new layout

Hi All,
This is regarding the problem we are facing to create a new layout and skin. We followed all the steps that were needed to create a new layout/skin but still we are getting errors after deploying the component. Since there were major changes in 11g, we are not able to proceed with debugging as well. (part of the reason being code clean-up is not done properly and we are going to wrong files while debugging.)
Having said, I need your help/advice in solving my problem. Below are the problems I am facing once I deploy the component.
1) Even though I am mentioning that skin.css and layout.js should be published from “publish/resources…” folder, different skin.css and layout.css files were getting deployed. Not sure from where the content server is picking those files from. I am placing the skin.css and layout.css from TopMenus/Trays to continue my testing.
<tr>
<td>publish/resources/layouts/NBNTrays/layout.js</td>
<td>resources/layouts/NBNTrays/layout.js</td>
<td>TRAYS_LAYOUT_JS</td>
<td>javascript:layout:NBNTrays</td>
<td>60</td>
<td><$if isLayoutEnabled("NBNTrays") and (not DisableNBNTraysPublishing)$><$doPublish = 1$><$endif$></td>
</tr>
2) After the component gets deployed and we publish all static files, I am able to change the layout/skin to my custom layout/skin. Top menus is working fine, but in Trays layout I am not able to see the left navigation.
3) Though I am saying to copy all the images from resources/trays folder, component is copying only some subset of images from the corresponding folders.
<tr>
<td>resources/layouts/Top Menus/Oracle</td>
<td>resources/layouts/NBNTopMenus/NBNSkin</td>
<td>resources:layout:NBNTopMenus</td>
<td>70</td>
<td><$if isLayoutEnabled("NBNTopMenus") and (not DisableNBNSkinSkinPublishing) and (not DisableNBNTopMenusPublishing)$><$doPublish = 1$><$endif$></td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
Can you please tell me how can we associate new layout.js and skin.css to the new layout/skin.
Please note that all the above problems were coming in 11g.
Thanks in advance,

Oracle UCM Production instance

we are proposing the oracle UCM 11g Solution to one of my client,
here i have doubt about the list of products, please correct us?
1) Oracle Database
2) Oracle Weblogic Server
3) Oracle UCM
4) Oracle HTTP Server???????????? is this required?
and we are giving the solution architecture to the client? please guide me if you have any suggestions regarding this
and Hardware requirements for this also suggest me?
we are implementing the UCM for the first time............
Thanks for your time....
Edited by: ngsankar on Jun 13, 2011 9:34 AM

Weblogic Server is a part of Oracle UCM license - in the restricted mode to host UCM (you will need it for 11g, as it is a J2EE application). So, unless you want to use it for other apps as well, it is not needed. HTTP Server is definitely not needed - Weblogic Server should contain a web server, if you need one, or you can go with another web server like Apache.
As for the solution architecture, it quite a subtle art and as you give absolutely no details, I'm afraid it is quite difficult to answer anything. You can start with sizing - product management released (alas, internally) a sizing tool, which can answer you a question how many CPUs of UCM (application server layer) are needed. It is based on the number of concurrent users and workload they produce (GUI, search/document retrieve, checkins, conversions to PDF, conversions to multimedia formats). Once you have this, you need to consider high-availability (a cluster in one location) and disaster recovery (backup-restore or even geo clustering). There is no formula to give you the right answer, but if you require HA, you might need RAC (Real Application Clusters) at the DB layer - app layer might be cluster by Weblogic and you might also need a load balancer. For DR, you might use database options (partitioning, DataGuard). Do not forget to consider the storage (even under database)! Especially, for large storage requirements (hundreds of TB and more) it can make your project much cheaper if you use the correct storage policy (using database ASM or HSM of filesystems such as ZFS or QFS).
Recommended HW - especially, if you need clustering, go with installation on Linux or Solaris. This will most likely lead to servers on Intel. You may go with any almost any proposal by a HW vendor of that kind (Sun Fire or blades). Just put there enough memory (12 GB at least per 2 cores of CPU). For multicore and multiprocessor servers, use Oracle VM or Solaris Zones to scale to your required number of CPUs of UCM and database (a rule of thumb: you will need half to two thirds CPUs of database compared to the number of UCM's CPUs).
However, keep in mind you might need to fine tune the generic architecture to your client's needs (e.g if you have heavy conversions)

Improve web form performance of Hyperion Planning

Hi all,
I am not sure whether anyone has tried the recommended method from Oracle to compress the web forms used in Hyperion Planning so as to improve the network perfromance?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_hp_admin/frameset.htm?/docs/cd/E12032_01/doc/epm.921/html_hp_admin/hpamin-19-17.htm
Slow Performance When Opening Data Forms Using a Dial-Up Connection
Scenario:
Opening a data form using a slow network connection (for example, with a modem) takes a long time.
Solution:
You can significantly increase the network bandwidth when opening data forms by modifying the web.xml file, as described in this section. This solution compresses by approximately 90% the data stream sent from the Planning server to the client.
Note: If you are using a WebLogic (all supported versions) Web application server, complete the second procedure, which is specific to WebLogic. If you are using any other Web application server, complete the first procedure, which contains general instructions.
To modify the web.xml file to improve performance, for any Web application server except WebLogic:
1 With a text editor, open the web.xml file, located in HyperionPlanning.ear or HyperionPlanning.war.
2 After the tag </description> and before the tag <listener>, insert the following lines:
<filter>
<filter-name>HspCompressionFilter</filter-name> <filter-
class>com.hyperion.planning.HspCompressionFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>compressionThreshold</param-name>
<param-value>2048</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name> <param-value>1</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>HspCompressionFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/EnterData.jsp</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
3 Save the web.xml file.
If you are using WebLogic, you must manually modify the .ear file and redeploy it for the Web application server.
To improve performance with a WebLogic application server:
1 Unzip the HyperionPlanning.ear file to C\:ear, for example.
2 Unzip Hyperion.war under C:\ear to C:\war.
3 With a text editor, open the C:war\WEB-INF\web.xml file and modify it using the instructions in step 2 in the preceding procedure.
4 Compress the content in C:\war to C:\ear\HyperionPlanning.war.
5 Compress the content in C:\ear into C:ear\HyperionPlanning.ear
6 Deploy the new HyperionPlanning.ear for the WebLogic Web application server.

Hi,
Yes we did this with a bank which had branches connected to the servers via dial-up. They were complaining about the amount of data being transferred in between branches and servers. This has worked well over there and increased the data transfer performance considerably. However, nowadays the performance bottlenecks are not generally due to the amount of data being transferred over the network but the javascript components that should run on client and heavy calculation/data and report creation processes.
Cheers,
Alp
