WebCenter Content and BPM

Hi,
I have installed UCM and SOA BPM. Now I need to integrate this products.
Can somebody advice me how to do this?
Thanks!

Where can I create, deploy and activate BPEL process? This is more a BPEL (SOA) question than a UCM one. Are you sure that you have everything OK on the BPEL side?
In a nutshell, BPEL processes are best created in JDeveloper (it is a bunch of XMLs, so you could use other means to get them, but JDev will give you much better support, incl. deployment). A process is deployed on BPEL Process Manager (or BPM Engine); a J2EE app running on Weblogic.
UCM just reads what processes are available on BPEL PM. I'm just studying the matter in a bit deeper way, so it seems that a process must have a certain properties set to be recognized (see here: Re: UCM 11G and SOA 11G ). And, of course, the connection between UCM and BPEL PM (or SOA server) must be set first - I'm currently struggling with this one as ports to be read seemed to be filtered off, and I'm unable to connect to the server. That's why I'd recommend to narrow down the problem first.

OCR with WebCenter Content and Imaging

Hi,
I'm searching for some information about OCR with webcenter content and imaging.
I've seen that there are two solutions :
- WebCenter Capture
- Webcenter Forms Recognition
But I can't find if any of that product use lexical post-correction of OCR results. Is anyone have this information?
Thanks,
David

David:
Both products will use print (vs handwritten) character recognition to identify "tokens" from the image of a document with text. Capture usage focuses mainly on zonal recognition of information - what I would call structured forms processing. Forms Recognition is for information capture from semi-structured documents - say invoices, where you know that many fields are present, but their location differs from example to example. It can use patterns, text locators, etc to find the field. Both benenfit when there exists a reference DB of acceptable values, but that is not a requirement.
Lexical correction (as I understand it to mean) is not a feature of either. They are not going to try to validate extracted tokens based upon language analysis. I would try to use them to extract all of the tokens and then add some tool to do lexical analysis. You could do that as a separate, post OCR process, or try to see if you can fit it into an FR post-extraction EP.
Might I ask what the business problem you are trying to solve is?

Integrating WebCenter Content with BPM

To integrate UCM and BPM, I followed this tutorial written by J@n van Zoggel.
At the moment, I've already set up everything exactly as instructed in the tutorial. However, when I viewed a task in BPM Workspace, I still cannot view the Attachment section. In the log, I saw the following error:
Ensure that credential store map WF-ADMIN-USER with key WF-ADMIN-CREDENTIAL
contains UCM server admin username/password. Also ensure that Workflow configuration parameter
UcmIdcUrl contains IDC socket connection url to connect to UCM server and UCM server has permission
to let SOA server connect to it using IDC protocol.
access denied ("oracle.security.jps.service.credstore.CredentialAccessPermission" "context=SYSTEM,mapName=WF-ADMIN-USER,keyName=WF-ADMIN-CREDENTIAL" "read")]]
One thing I'd like to ask is that in all tutorials or articles I've read, the authors are always testing in the environment in which both the UCM and BPM servers are on the same machine. In my case, I am trying to connect my local BPM server with the online WebCenter Content server of my company, I wonder if I have to make any additional settings for this to work. A few pictures of my current settings are shown below.
I'd be very grateful if you could share with me your experience in integrating BPM and UCM.
Best regards,

Hi James,
I have had huge problems applying SOA bundled patches using the Readme.txt files. Mainly as they are supposed to be roll-up patches but some earlier ones state that they need to be applied to WC1 as well as SOA1 but not the later patches. What I do now is apply them to SOA1, WC1, ECM1 and oracle_common at the same time. I am only using a pre-built VM but it seems to solve various issues I have had.
Also recently I had problems with Attachments in Human Tasks so I applied patch p19546426_111176_Generic... I installed into SOA1, oracle_common, ECM1, WC1 (not just SOA1 like the Readme.txt says) and then they started working. This was after many failed attempts following the Readme.txt...
Hope this helps

Webcenter Content and WCI 10gR4

I'm trying to find information on how to integrate Webcenter Content(UCM) and Webcenter Interaction 10gR4. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve

This is actually not so much a WCC question like a Weblogic one. Therefore, it might be better in a forum dedicated to such kind of questions - I believe this one is the correct WebLogic Server - Security
However, maybe this post http://oraclemiddlewareblog.com/2011/09/05/26/ will help you.
Also, not being an expect in that area, I'd believe that using WNA kind of expects that all users are in the AD domain. Note that you still need to register external users' identities somewhere (most likely not in AD - perhaps, in another LDAP, then?) I don't know if WNA makes any sense in this setup. Either way, what might be necessary as the first step is to "unite" identities from AD and the other LDAP. Either Weblogic Server, or a product like Oracle Virtual Directory might be able to do that; for SSO, however, there still might be other things needed.

Webcenter Content and OSB

Hi,
Can anyone let me know how we can integrate the Webcenter content with OSB. We want to create users but through OSB. Do Webcenter provide any Web service?
Thanks in advance.

a) WebCenter Content has its standard services - see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e11011/toc.htm
b) the most common services are exposed in WSDL as Web Services - see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10807/c25_wsdl_and_soap.htm#BEHDIABD
c) for the remainder (even for your own custom services) you may use WSDL Generator to expose them
d) since the version 11g, WCC does not hold its own identity pool, but rather takes it from one used by the Weblogic domain (usually, an external LDAP), so if you are interested in creation of users you might want to integrate with this LDAP, rather than with WCC

Databind method call returns null in WebCenter Content Filter

Hi,
I have inherited some code that has an issue and I'm new to WebCenter Content and the Filters that can be added. We have a FileNameFilter class that starts off with the code
public class CWEFileNameFilter implements FilterImplementor {
    public CWEFileNameFilter() {
        super();
    public int doFilter(Workspace workspace, DataBinder dataBinder,
                        ExecutionContext executionContext) throws DataException {
        String service = dataBinder.getLocal("IdcService");
However, service sometimes comes back null and then the filter throws a NPE.
My questions are:
1) Can anyone explain what dataBinder.getLocal("IdcService"); is doing and why it could come back as null
2) Can anyone provide any links to documentation that explains Filters and a bit more about the DataBinder object as the JavaDoc isn't much help.
Thanks
Marc

Hi Marc,
Below code will give service name for which filter is implemented from LocalData
String service = dataBinder.getLocal("IdcService");
for example below
http://localhost:16200/cs/idcplg?IdcService=DOC_INFO_BY_NAME&dDocName=1111111&IsJava
This will print entire response data including localdata and results which are created as part of service execution. Below is snippet
<?hda version="11.1.1.8.0PSU-2015-04-01 00:14:53Z-r126309" jcharset="UTF8" encoding="utf-8"?>
@Properties LocalData
DocUrl=https://localhost:16200/cs/weblayout/groups/secure/documents/test/mhdk/mjg1/1111111.pdf
IdcService=DOC_INFO_BY_NAME
so String service = dataBinder.getLocal("IdcService"); will be service ="DOC_INFO_BY_NAME".
Below blog will give some idea about filter but best place to learn or start is "The Definitive Guide to Stellent Content Server Development" by Brian Huff
http://www.redstonecontentsolutions.com/technical-blog/ucm-service-handlers-and-javafilters
Also i would recommend reading "WebCenter Content Services Reference Guide"

Get value based on column names for custom metadata field of Webcenter Content

In UCM, I created a custom metadata field of type Text. I then enabled optlist in that field. I populate values to the optList, I am using a View. The View has three columns. Let us call them ID, Key, Value. OptList displays the Keys in its list. I then create a Content (Content ID: MyContent) in Webcenter Content and choose values from OptList for my new metadata field (MyField).
From Webcenter Portal, I am populating a selectOneChoice with values of MyField in the Content ID: MyContent. Remember from previous step, the values populated in selectOneChoice is the list of values selected from optList field MyField. This optList is in-turn populated from View. After the user selects a value in selectOneChoice, in Javascript, I need to alert a message in this format "value chosen - corresponding value from View of optList that populates MyField"
I think an example will be useful:
Here is a View that I created in Configuration Manager applet in Admin Applets of Webcenter Content:
ID | State | Capital
1 | North Carolina | Raleigh
2 | California | Sacramento
3 | Illinois | Chicago
Then, I create a Custom Field (Name: MyField). MyField is an optList the values are populated from View created above. The internal value and display value are both State. Then I Check-In a new content with Content Id: MyContent. For MyContent, I select these values from OptList for MyField: {North Carolina, Illinois}.
In my Webcenter Portal application, I create a Content Presenter Taskflow. I configure it as a single item content presenter. I assign MyContent as Content Id. Then, in templateView, I get all values of MyField in MyContent and display them as selectOneChoice. I created a javascript function that would get the value that user selected in selectOneChoice. In the View created in Webcenter Content's Configuration Manager (above), there is a value corresponding to each value displayed. So, for the selected value, I need to get the corresponding Capital and display it in my alert message.
From Javascript, how can I get the value of Capital, given I have the value of State.

Hi.
The idea to achieve your requirement is next:
Create a helper manage bean that will be call as Map access: #{stateUtil['Calofironia']} (it will return Raleigh). This value will be get calling GET_SCHEMA_VIEW_VALUES IDC service using RIDC in your manage bean.
Pass the result of #{stateUtil['statename']} to your JavaScript function using <af:clientAttribute.../>
I hope this information help you.

Webcenter -Content can be socialized ???

Hello,
We are work on POC and here I need your suggestions and help.
We have an application using Site Studio and Webcenter Content. Our application shows different electronic products in each secondary page. Its working fine.
Now we want our user to communicate. They should be allowed to express their experience and feedback. I looked into OSN - Conversation feature. I liked it!!
what is our requirement and plan::
1. We can have one small portlet where we can show latest conversation.
2. If user want to express they can log in and add their comments.
In different words, if you have used/ seen the Facebook application, currently we see one portlet on right top, which shows all the updates of your friends. Similar things but in my case we will show all the conversation related to the product. So if I am looking at Iphone product, we get all conversation only related to the Iphone. Once I switch to different page lets suppose Samsung 4S product page then we should see only conversation related to Samsung 4S product.
Suggestion need??
1. So do we have any connection with webcenter content and 'Oracle Social network' in terms of implementation.
2. How can I selectively bring the conversation feature in my application?
3. Do we have OSN downloadable tool available for POC?
4. Please lets us know any development document available?
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
MAK

Acces from iPhone to WebCenter Content's Documents

Hello.
We have Webcenter Content and Webcenter Portal. We are using iPhone application "Webcenter" for acces to Webcenter Portal. Webcenter Portal is connected to Webcenter Content Server and we can get access to WCC's documents throw web-browser.
But our main idea is getting access and search from iPhone for documents which was checked-in from Webcenter Content. Is it real to realise that idea? Could you advice me how to realise it?
Thak you.

If you haven't shelled out for a third party app yet see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. There is a no cost way of retrieving the media. It may require more effort on your part to extract the media and any metadata that you want but it might even do a better job. Last three entries in the table in particular.

Licenses for WebCenter Suit and WebLogic

Good day! I need help. I understand that, in addition to the license for WebCenter Suit, I need to also purchase a license for WebLogic. Is that if I need 4 licenses for WebCenter, it is necessary and 4 licenses WebLogic?
Thank you in advance for your reply!

This answer is actually not so easy - it depends what license do you actually refer to.
The current Oracle price list contains two SKUs that could apply:
- WebCenter Portal (WCP), formerly (about a year ago) called WebCenter Suite,
- and WebCenter Suite Plus (WCSP), which consists of WCP, WebCenter Content, and WebCenter Sites
WCP requires a license of Weblogic (to be precise: Weblogic Server Enterprise Edition) as a mandatory pre-requisite. And yes, the number of WLS corresponds to the number of WCP.
WCSP, on the other hand, is not that clear - the document Oracle Technology Global Price List Supplement does not mention WLS as a pre-requisite, but neither it mentions that WLS is included in the license in the restricted mode. In fact, two of suite products, namely, WCC and WCS won't need the WLS license (for WCC it is included in the restricted mode, and WCS might not need it at all).
Therefore, if you have WCSP rather than WCP I'd suggest to cross-check you needs with your local Oracle sales rep.

Integrating BPM with WebCenter Content

To integrate UCM and BPM, I followed this tutorial written by J@n van Zoggel.
At the moment, I've already set up everything exactly as instructed in the tutorial. However, when I viewed a task in BPM Workspace, I still cannot see the Attachment section. In the log, I saw the following error:
Ensure that credential store map WF-ADMIN-USER with key WF-ADMIN-CREDENTIAL

P/S: My environment is SOA Suite 11.1.1.7 and WebCenter 11.1.1.7
1. UcmIdcUrl setting:
2. WF-ADMIN-USER key map:
3. WebCenter Content IP Filter:

I don't believe that noone has ever tried to connect the local BPM environment to a remote WCC server before. Please let me know if you've ever experienced the same problem. Otherwise, even a simple "I tried to do the samething and I succeeded using the same steps in the tutorial" would help too .
Another thing is that yesterday, I talked to the tech-lead and I learned that our WCC server environment doesn't have BPM installed yet. I am wondering if this would cause the WCC server to not understand the request from my BPM server. In addtion, I've also upgraded my local BPM server using the lastest SOA bundled patch. Should the same patch be applied to the WCC server environment too?
I'd be very grateful for any advice .

Webcenter Portal and UCM - Content Presenter Error

Hello,
I get an error while I'm adding a Content Presenter over the default resource catalog of my webcenter portal application and try to create content.
When pressing the create content button a new browserpage opens and after beeing logged in to the Content Server the cs/resources/wcm/custom/sitestudio/contentwizard/webcenter/contentwizard.hcsp is called and this error message appears as an alert:
"*this placeholder is restricted, but no region definitions have been specified*"
Thanks for any advice!

Looks like the configuration of UCM (SSXA) is not completed in your system. Take a look at this manual http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e13650/toc.htm to understand the relationship between region definitions and placeholders. Note that Content Presenter is just a client here (it's a matter of WebCenter Content configuration).

Hi,
We are looking for a manual or automated cloning solution for Oracle WebCenter Content (UCM), Imaging (ICM) and related products. Oracle FMW has T2P cloning option, but we are looking for more specific to just this product to clone and configure (if needed). Any help is appreciated.

Hi
Assuming you have set up Purchasing with accrual method on receipt (and not on period end), you could enter the PO lines with receipt required. The receipt transactions you are uploading will generate the accounting to charge the expense accounts / or inventory valuation account.
There is no need to interface those also to Payables. In AP enter one invoice with the real monthly amount and match it to the purchase order level or to the receipts level. Approve and pay that invoice.

You may want to post this question in the WebCenter Content forum instead of WebCenter - Interaction, which is a completely different product.

BI extractor and/or content for BPM available?

Hallo
I have a question concerning BPM. Does anybody know if there is standard content and/or an extractor to retrieve BPM Process Data from the CE 7.1? I am looking for something similar as the SAP Workflow extractor and/or data model.
Does someone have a suggestion?
Regards,
mingolo

NO, not really. This content covers ccBPM within PI. I am looking for BPM (former Galaxy) based extractors --> extracting BPM Data from a CE 7.1.
Anybody got some information on that topic?
