Content Services Provisioning.

My understanding is that when a user is provisioned they are only partially provisioned unitl the user logs into Content Services.
This creates a problem in the fact that I use the webservice API to identify users to assign access to folders during an automated BPEL process. The problem is that if this process starts before the user has logged into CS at least once then it does not find the user.
Is it possible to either programmatically fully provision users or to somehow simulate what is down when a user intially logs in through the web client.

I have had all kinds of problems and have had to look for many hours on metalink, forums and the net to piece together ocs 10.1.2. I now see that they have given a huge patch out for every aspect of ocs 10.1.2. Hopefully, after implementing these patches will solve most of these problems. If not, then you will as I have done create a service report about exactly the problem you are having. Hopefully, they can resolve the issue. I am willing to help you, but I would need a good description of your problem first.

Provisioning users in content services

Hello.
I am having trouble with provisioning a couple of users for content services. I have ssl enabled on ocs 10.1.2, and I have discussions and workspaces enabled. Most of my users have content services enabled when loggging into portal, but I have two users that content services is not initializing with. The content services box is empty except for the warning "Failed to retieve content. Contact System Administrator if problem persists." I have tried to deprovision and reprovision content in the oiddas but to no avail the services for those users never seem to get provisioned. I removed one of the users from the directory and created the same user again. Beware that causes the user to be unable to log into the portal until you have deleted the user from the portal schema in the database. Any suggestions or help with my problem will be greatly appreciated.

Recover a single file in Content Services

I've been asked to document how we would go about recovering a single file in Content Services. The Trash/Archive angle I'm clear on, but what about an extreme case. Lets say that someone created a file, trashed it, emptied the trash, and then it expired from the Archive before the user realized that they needed the file.
Is it possible, and if so how would one go about getting the file back assuming that there is a full db backup once a day?
Would enabling BFILE aging help? If so, how?
On a related note: If archive is set to expire content after 1 month, but BFILE aging is turned off, when does deleted content get purged from the Archive? It's not 1 month, as I have deleted files in the Archive going back to January.

Archive expiration and BFile aging are orthogonal. BFile pushes the LOBs of documents that are in the archive to bfile. Archive expiration deletes files from the archive after the configured time. If this is not the behaviour you are seeing please file a TAR and they can help check whether your system is configured correctly or if you are running into a bug.

Windows File Properties vs. Content Services Properties

Hi.
On behalf of a customer I am evaluating Windows file properties vs. CS file properties.
Client Environment: Windows XP SP2, O-Drive.
Rightclick a File stored on O (O-Drive, Content Services).
a Props. Dialog shows up, the first tab is General*. It shows several file
properties among others the following:
- Last Access Date: This always shows Wed. 1 Jan 1986 00:00:00
Does this correspond to any content services file property? If so, why
is it always 1-jan-1986 00:00.00 and does not change? Is it a bug?
- Checkboxes Write protected* / Archive* / Hidden*
Do these correspond to any cs file property? Do these have any effect?
(I tried write protected, but it did not work as expected, I was able
to overwrite the file) Bug or Feature?
If these checkboxes do not work, could these be disabled through O-Drive,
otherwise users might get confused...
Regards, Tom
* (I don't know the exact english labels as I am working on a german client... so
I translated the german labels - sorry)

Hi. Sure, here's some collateral information:
We are evaluating Content Services for several customer projects.
During a presentation I held 2 weeks ago a customer asked exactly
those questions and I had to admit I could not answer.
So I retried on our test instance and checked the docu and still
could not get a clue how windows attributes and cs attributes correspond.
Then I asked MJS during last weeks workshop he did not know exactly either.
Hence I am asking on the forum.
Regards, Tom
(PS. If you require further background information you may contact me via email
or ask E. Neuwirth on Tom Gansor / OPITZ Consulting).

11.5.10 and OCS10GR1 Content Services As a repository

Hi,
I Had succesfully integarted 11.5.10 With Oracle Files
But I did not succed to do same thing with Oracle Content Services 10GR1.
Do you know if there is a way to use Content Services as a repository.(Workaround)?
Thanks

Now I just realized the old servers were RHEL4 32-bit and the new servers were by default created on RH 5 64-bit.
I'm pretty sure I can't just fire it up on a 64-bit OS without doing some extra work like export/import on the database.
App server not sure what I would do as libraries etc. would be different also.The apps tier node of EBS 11i is not certified on 64-bit Linux OS -- Frequently Asked Questions: Oracle E-Business Suite Support on x86-64 [ID 343917.1]
My thought is to get the servers rebuilt using RH5 32-bit and everything should work hopefully as long as packages are there.
Sound right or should I just go with what it runs on now (RHEL4) to be on the safe side.What is your database version? Please note that Oracle9i is not certified on RHEL5, so if you are running on 10g/11g database you should be good to go with RHEL5
Thanks,
Hussein

The Oracle Homes are different for both the Oracle.
If somebody have idea about this problem,please help me. This is very urgent.

I think so..
Your Oracle Database doesn't connect to content server..
Maybe, you can edit the configuration of your UCM..
Please open the file at C:\oracle\ucm\server\config\config.cfg..
And then add the code :
NumConnection = 5;

Hi,
It sounds like your tables are either not there or are not available under your stellent_admin's account.
Now to be honest, I've not used the XE version of Oracle's db, but assuming it operates in a similar fashion to the regular version, it sounds like your content server tables are either not there or are created under a different account.
If they are under a different account, it's probably best just to delete them and re-create them again under the correct account as they are undoubtedly in the wrong tablespace too.
If they just aren't there, which I guess is possible if you decline the table set up option during installation, you just need to run the script.
running the script is actually pretty easy.
open up a command window and navigate to your 'UCM\ContentServer\database\oracle'
run sqlplus stellent_admin/[password]
once your logged in...type @all.sql;

Need Help in configuring Antivirus on content services

Hi All,
We are using Content Services 10.1.2.3.4 and for antivirus we are using Symnatec Antivirus Scan Engine(SAVSE) 5.1. We have installed Antivirus on both the boxes separately and while configuring the domain properties we are facing problem--> when we change the domain properties of one server it is automatically reflecting in the domain properties of the other server(for eg: if we change the hostname on server1 the same value is reflecting in server2 where we have previously kept server2's hostname).
Kindly suggest me how to proceed further I am following content services admin guide(B25275-04) for configuring antivirus

Copy distribution list to all content services user folders

We have an Outlook distribution list PST file that current resides in a Windows file server. This gets pushed out the the personal folder of each user overnight.
Going forward, we need to push this PST file to all the Content Services user personal folders (Users-A, Users-B ... Users-Z).
I created a single superuser that has all administrative rights to all the users personal folders. And I can upload a file through the webdav http interface.
with the "Upload" button while I'm "Switched to Administrative Mode" only.
And I can't see the users personal folders while using the Oracle Drive nor
thru a Network drive.
Is there a way of pushing this to all the users' personal folders???

Hi Juan,
I tried that but it is not showing the shared distribution list for moving.
I found 1 sap BC office document which stats that moving the distribution list form Private to public is not possible due to security reason.
So, no options for me and to create manual shared distribution list.
Thanks

BPEL's NotifyUserOfChange with Content Services

We have a problem getting data from Collaboration Suite's Content Services. We are using BPEL 10.1.2. We've used the built in jdev project NotifyUserOfChange. We are able to assign the Workflow so that each time a Conten Services file is updated in certain folders an email is generated with the folder name and a hyperlink to the file's location.
What we would like to include in the email is the username of the person who uploaded or edited the file. In Content Services under document properties, we see the values Created By and Last Modified By, but are unable to figure out how to have BPEL get those specific values in our email.

Hi,
Assuming you are using the latest Content Services patch (10.1.2.3.x), you should be able to see in the incoming queue message a parameter named :-
IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_OWNER
The value of this parameter is the user whom triggered the workflow.
You could create a simple assign\copy rule using an xpath expression to extract this.
For Content DB, we are soon releasing some new sample workflows based on SOA suite that should simplify things a fair bit.

hi all,
i've solved the problem by cleanly remove .profile under oracle login directory. not sure whether OUI refers this file during installation. in the new installation, i also use two UNIX users, one for infra tier, another for apps tier. this time, there is no single error reported.
thanks for your attention.

PDF files in Oracle Content Services?

Is it possible to create PDF files in Oracle Content Services? is there a facility to convert protected documents to .pdf files

We are currently working with Adobe on this requirement and have implemented a POC that allows you to submit a document to workflow in content DB (for example, during a check-in operation) and through a custom BPEL flow, submit to an Adobe LiveCycle server where the document gets turned into a PDF, has policy and digital signatures applied to it.
The current POC does more than just convert to PDF. it does the following to the original document:
1) Converts it to PDF
2) Inserts signature fields, so the PDF can be digitally signed later
3) Applies policy (applies E-DRM, e.g. the end user can view but not copy the text or print the PDF)
4) Certifies the document (Server applies digital certificate to signature field)
5) Reader extends the document (enables end user to digitally sign PDF and add comments with Adobe Reader)
thanks,
Matt.

Difference between "Workspaces" and "Oracle Content Services"?

I am little confused with Oracle Content Services and Workspaces in Oracle collabration Suite. Can anyone throw some light on this?

Oracle Content Services is an Enterprise Content Management System.It is also an infrastructure product over which other applications can be built. Workspaces is one such application that uses content services for managing documents etc.,. At the same time Workspaces also provides a single point of access to other forms of content such as discussions, groups , appointments etc.

Cluster and Content services

Hi,
    In our environment, we have two nodes in a cluster with Content services runnin on both the cluster nodes.
     One of the process, which is configured to have watched folder end point. This process reads the document from watched folder and stores the same
     in specified content space structure. When it is stored in content space we store the node id of the same for future reference.
     Now we have run into a situation where content from watched folder is read by Cluster Node A and stored it in Content Space under content services
running on Cluster Node A. Now say after 5 mins we need to retrieve the same content but this time the process to read the content from content space runs on Node B.
Content is read using retrieveContent service by passing node id which we have stored earlier but some reason it is not able to find the content.
Does Livecycle automatically synchronises the cluster nodes for content and how often does it happen?
Any suggestion on how to get around this issue.
Regards,
Vik

For content services in cluster, content is stored at a shared location which can be accessed by each node. Only indexes for this content is synchronized across cluster nodes. Please make sure that content storage root directory is a shared and accessible location for all nodes in the cluster.
Could you please perform a quick test?
1. Go to http://node1:port/contentspace and add a content here.
2. Now go to http://node2:port/contentspace and verify that you can see the content added.
Thanks,
Pankaj Parashar

URGENT: Content Services using PL/sql utl_http

I'm using Oracle Collaboration Suite Content Services Version 10.1.2.0.0 (Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.4.0).
Using PL/sql, I want to be able to retrieve a html document stored in a folder in Content Services, and store the contents of that document in a table.
I can retrieve and store the contents of the document if it stored anywhere - I just can't when the document resides in Content Services.
Within PL/sql I am authenticating using utl_http.set_authentication, then using utl_http.request_pieces.
I'm not getting an error message, just the "<" character stored in my table.
Can I not use utl_http.request_pieces for retrieving a document in Content Services?
Thanks
Paul

HI Michiel
