Fulltext search in UCM 11g

Hi,
we are using UCM 11g in our application. Database is oracle 11G for the UCM. We need fulltext search to be enabled on UCM. But there two option to enable the fulltext search DATABASE.FULLTEXT and ORACLETEXTSEARCH.
Can anybody please tell which option should be used to enable fulltext search.
Thanks in advacance...

Hi Nitin,
We can configure the new file formats for full text search. Steps below:
Log in to with Admin permissions.
Go to Administration -> Admin Applets -> Configuration Manager
Options tab -> File Formats
Go to File extensions section add your new file extension for which you want to enable the full text and map to some text format or word format
Now, you will be able to full text your own extension based file. I have verified, it's working well
Please note that, if the file extension is more than 8 characters (default value) you will not be able to add;
But, you can alter the table "ExTENSIONFORMATMAP" and can go ahead with longer extensions. Hope this will be useful.

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.

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

Has anyone got UCM 11g running on Windows 7 64bit?

Hi,
I've just installed UCM 11g on a 64bit Windows 7. During installation I had some issues concerning the user rights, but now almost everything works fine.
Except of two issues:
1. when starting the UCM (startManagedWebLogic.cmd) I get the following exception:
!csNativeOsUtilsError!syNativeOsUtilsNotLoaded!syJavaExceptionWrapper,java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: intradoc.common.NativeOsUtilsBase.getNativeVersion()Ljava/lang/String;

 at intradoc.common.NativeOsUtils.<init>(NativeOsUtils.java:26)
But the server is running.
2. Fulltext-Search doesn't work.

As UCM is not certified for Windows 7 I'm not sure if this is a configuration issue or a generel problem with Windows 7.
Has anyone got this installation run on Windows 7 (64bit)?
bye Stephan...

Assuming that you want to install the 64 bit UCM 11g version:
Issue with installer closing screen could be related with JAVA_HOME variable or wrong java version.
1. Check if 64 bit JDK (not JRE) is installed in a directory without spaces (not default Program Files… but something like C:\Java\).
2. Check if windows environment variable JAVA_HOME exists and is pointing to JDK directory (like C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_24)
3. Open command prompt and check java version with: java –version. It should return “Java HotSpot 64-Bit Server”.

Fulltext search with Stellent.

Hello,
sorry for double posting, but I didn't noticed that an ECM specific forum exists.
I have successfully installed UCM+Site Studio using Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 as RDBMS and I have enabled the fulltext search.
Trying to use the fulltext search on Ravenna example site, and also directly in the Content Server, it seems that the fulltext search only works with documents having Native Document as Web Site Object Type.
For example, if I search for Ravenna, only few pages are found (all in News), and all with content from from .doc files.
While the home page, which starts with Ravenna Hosting..., but contained in a contributor data file, is not retrieved!!!
If I run manually the query performed by the search without the CONTAINS operator, which is appended if something is typed in the search box, the contributor data file is found.
In fact "Data File" is included in the conditions.
But when the CONTAINS operator is added, all the non-native documents disappear.
What I really need to know if there is a way to do fulltext searches on documents with Data File as Web Site Object Type.
Am I missing something?
How can I search, for example, for content added to a region by a contributor using the wysiwyg editor?

I have installed Oracle Database 1ogR3 Express Edition and Content Server Windows 10gR3.
then i have done all the steps as given in admin_oracletextsearcv_10g.pdf to search full-text criteria.
I have also enabled OracleTextSearch component.
whenever i am trying to do search operation, it gives various error....like
(1).

Unable to create content properly in UCM 11G using validateStandard filter

Hi All,
 We have used validateStandard filter to assign content id with 16 digits in UCM 10G and it worked well, we deployed this component in UCM 11G but it is not working properly. When we click on Check In button content is getting created and displaying Check_In Confirmation with 16 digit Content ID, upon clicking on Content Info it is displaying the complete info page. When we try to search the content it is not displaying in search results, also when tried to export it using Archiver it is not creating batch file. When we see logs in View Server out put it is displaying

Its a bug. References BUG:16231709 - OBIA7964:ERROR WHILE CREATING DATA WAREHOUSE TABLES USING DAC 11G
So far the workaround is to use one Container Name at a time when creating the Warehouse.

Information Architecure for UCM 11g/WebCenter PS4

Hi
Can anyone share their info architecture findings for UCM/11g and WebCenter PS4 e.g. security model, metadata model, taxonomy approach for managing group spaces. I'm keen to hear if you've put a info governance structure around the content for example - and if so - how did you form it? Where did your security model stope e.g. at Group Space level, or did you have to consider the confidential nature of documents within folders in the group space. Have you add additional metadata fields to help with search?
Regards
Michelle

Wll, it's quiet easy. Webcenter is designed to handle services. UCM is also complettly service oriented so you could create a webapplication with webcenter where you define services from UCM and create your own user interface.
It's nothing more than the fact that webcenter can handle services (WSDL, SOAP).
You could create a site without siteStudio, using webcenter. Nothing wrong with that but don't forget that siteStudio has lots of tools that are great for UCM like the contributor mode. Also, the fragments that are allready build in in siteStudio give a big advantage. If you want to create these things in zebcenter, you'll have to start from scratch.
I do believe Oracle is working on an portal like interface to create portlets and stuff, perhaps they will create some tools special for the use of UCM and webcenter. This offcourse would be very nice

Component Wizard is missing in UCM 11g

Hi all,
I'm running UCM 11g on Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter and I noticed that Component Wizard isn't installed neither in DomainHome nor anywhere else.
Search in Windows Start Menu also doesn't bring any results.
Is there any way to install it separately in existing domain or ECM Home?

I actually found the Component Tool, but in:
C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_ECM1\ucm\idc\bin
(this has ComponentTool.exe idcCommEnv.cmd, IdcShell.exe, Installer,exe, and a blank (pretty much) intradoc.cfg )
NOT in the ...ucm/cs/bin dir.
Of course when I run that, it fails with a !csIdcNameMissing which makes sense considering that is NOT where the UCM 11g server is and the intradoc.cfg isn;t configured.
ANY ideas how this stuff got installed in different locations from the Standard??

Full Text Search In UCM

Currently we are looking at the integration of UCM and Webcenter. Can u please guide us in doing a full text search using UCM.
The steps we followed for full text search is
1. Stopped the Content Server service.
2. On the Content Server's file system, navigated to search folder in Content Server Installed Path and altered activeindex.hda with the entry change verity.1 to IdcColl1
3. Renamed all files under the following locations:
CS\search\lock
CSsearch\update
CS\search\rebuild
4. Started the Content Server service
5. Logged into CS and rebuilt the indexes from repository manager and restarted the CS from Admin Server Page
Please let me know if any of the steps is wrong or any more components need to be added.
We get no errors on doing fulltextsearch but we do not any result (displays "found 0 potential items").
Thanks in advance!

When checked the CS Log after changing metadata to fulltext and rebuilding indexes under collection rebuild cycle

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.

Content categorizer engine, UCM 11g: ClassCastException.

Hi!
I try to register a categorizer engine in Content Categorizer in UCM 11g, on Linux.
My Extractor Class — SccMyTaxonomyExtractor extends SccTaxonomyExtractor.
When i try to build query tree, and click Content Categorizer Administration -> Query Trees -> Build Query Tree -> Overwrite contents of Taxonomy Cache, i get ClassCastException: SccAMyTaxonomyExtractor cannot be cast to contentcategorizer.SccTaxonomyExtractor.
Why?
I build my classes using contentcategorizer.SccTaxonomyExtractor from sccserver.jar (this .jar i get from UCM), with jdk 1.5, and jdk 1.6. Each time i get this exception.
Can anyone comment this?
Thanks for your thoughts of my question :)

According to the documentation ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/doc.1111/e10797/c04_finding_files.htm#g1300865 and particularly http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/doc.1111/e10797/c04_finding_files.htm#CJAEAHED ) only asterisks and question marks are used as wildcards for metadata search fields. No information about underscores - (according to this: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/F49540_01/DOC/inter.815/a67843/cqspcl.htm they are wildcards for Text queries in Oracle DB)
However, Kyle in his article https://blogs.oracle.com/kyle/entry/site_studio_naming_best_practi recommends not to use underscores for Site_ID as it "causes numerous issues", so you'll be on a safe side to get rid of them.

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:

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.
Regards,
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

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.

UCM 11g hardware recomodations

Hi!
I can't find any hardware recomodations for UCM 11g.
Do you now any datasheets or documentation with hardware informations like in
"Content Server Installation Guide for UNIX" for UCM 10g?
We are going to use solartis.
kind regards
Alex
Edited by: 879801 on 03.10.2011 07:10

I'm afraid there is no simple answer to that. You should start with sizing (how many "license" CPUs you will need). That will correspond to your usage requirements (how many GUI reqs, how many conversion reqs, how many search reqs, etc.). If you have specific reqs in one area (e.g. conversions), you might want to have a special server just for that (WebCenter Conversion Server is enough).
Another question is: how much data you will have? You might have your data just on a harddrive (for VERY small projects) or in a NAS/SAN storage. Here, you will mainly depend on the overall volume and required seek time.
Another question is: do you want to have your database on the same machine, or separate? (I'd recommend a separate machine, even if you store there just metadata).
If all you need is just a single node machine for UCM (J2EE apps) only, you might go with almost any commodity server - have your HW rep recommend something for you. Just make sure it has enough memory (8 GB at least, 16 GB ideal).

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. :)

What is the different between Sharepoint fast search service and Sql server fulltext search?

HI ,
I want to kow what is the different between Sharepoint fast search service and Sql server fulltext search?
Or Can I abstract the Sharepoint fast search from the Sharepoint platform as a isolate component?
Thank you.
James

They are very, very different beasts.
Firstly FAST Search for SharePoint is the old name for the product and is only relevant for SharePoint 2010 not 2013. It got merged into the standard SharePoint search for the 2013 release.
SharePoint search is aimed at providing a Bing or Google like experience for your intranet content, as well as providing some nifty features that are purely SharePoint releated along the way. That means it can crawl SharePoint content, file shares,
outlook mailboxes, internal and external websites and probably fifty other different things if you really tried. Whilst i'm not an expert on SQL full text search I believe it's intended to provide a search feature for content held within SQL databases
and tables.
Can you run SharePoint purely for Search? Yes, definitely.
