How to learn UCM 11g from scratch

From where should I learn UCM 11g I am new to this product.WebCenter Content

Hemant,
You will need a test system, use VirtualBox as you can undo any disasters by taking snapshots. If you don't know how to configure and administer managed servers in Weblogic Server then learn that first - just how to configure UCM and Node Manager so you can start and stop it from the Admin Server console.
It is worth learning to install Webcenter Content on Linux ( I recommend Oracle 6.6) and also on Windows if you want to use Enterprise Capture with Recognition but if you are impatient to start with UCM, Oracle have a ready-made VM with just about everything you need installed. Oracle WebCenter Portal 11.1.1.8 Virtual Machine | Oracle Technology Network | Oracle. You may need to patch the installation, I don't know what patch level it is set to.
When reading the Oracle documentation Make sure you get the WCC UCM documentation not the IPM documentation. Make lots of bookmarks and when you see "for more information on..." open the link in a new tab or you will get lost seven levels down when you realise you are back to the same page you started from.
Learn the security model, a group in Weblogic Server with the same names as a Role in UCM will be granted the Role's access, how to use content types, rules and profiles. if you have experience with any other DM systems, know that metadata fields in UCM are not attributes of a document class, they are attributes of the system and present for all documents unless you filter them out with Rules.
Know also that there are two Web UIs so when you read the latest documentation the screenshots are from the latest Web UI. I don't know if it has been installed in the Portal VM but if you want to install it, read the Support article 1618305.1, it is not simple.

How to separate BPM 11g from ADF

Hi all,
we are facing with a huge issue about how to separate BPM 11g ADF Task page components from SOA/BPM to a new non-soa ADF managed server.
We are ready to move on pre-production server from development enironment and the new environment has two different servers, one for Soa/Bpm and the second for a non-soa ADF server.
We have deployed all and it seems work fine but...when we call:
        SecurityContext securityContext = ADFContext.getCurrent().getSecurityContext();
        String username = securityContext.getUserName();
got: username = anonymous.
Tried with this also:
             String userName = "";
            //read name from security context
            ADFContext adfCtx = ADFContext.getCurrent();
            SecurityContext secCntx = adfCtx.getSecurityContext();
            userName = secCntx.getUserName();
            //read name from bpmWorklistContext context
            FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            String ctx = (String)context.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(context, "#{pageFlowScope.bpmWorklistContext}", String.class);
            IWorkflowServiceClient workflowSvcClient = ADFWorklistBeanUtil.getWorkflowServiceClient();
            ITaskQueryService wfQueryService = workflowSvcClient.getTaskQueryService();
            IWorkflowContext wfContext;
            try {
                wfContext = wfQueryService.getWorkflowContext(ctx);
                userName = wfContext.getUser();
                logger.info("UserName from Oracle:" + userName);
            } catch (WorkflowException e) {
                logger.info(e.getMessage());
                e.printStackTrace();
            return userName;
And received this error:
"Oracle | Invalid Token Error in Verification Service.
Invalid Token Error in Verification Service. Received invalid token in .
Verify that correct token is passed."
I have followed this blogs but no luck:
Onkar's SOA, BPM and ADF Blog: How to separate BPM 11g ADF Task page components from SOA/BPM to a new ADF managed server
http://blog.dreamix.eu/oracle-2/ultimate-guide-separating-bpm-adf
Notes about Oracle: How to configure local integrated WebLogic non-SOA domain to access BPM worklist on separate SOA-ena…
I do not understand where the error is. Why the SecurityContext is getting lost.
Can you help me? Any suggestions will be welcome.
Thanks.
Fairlie

Ok, these are the lines of code you can use to create a method that returns the authenticated user name:
try {
IWorkflowServiceClient wfSvcClient;
ITaskQueryService queryService;
IWorkflowContext wfContext;
// Get username of User Login
String contextStr = ADFWorklistBeanUtil.getWorklistContextId();
wfSvcClient = WorkflowService.getWorkflowServiceClient();
queryService = wfSvcClient.getTaskQueryService();
wfContext = queryService.getWorkflowContext(contextStr);
userId = wfContext.getUser();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
And you can add it to the backing bean of your page (a Java Class that you can declare to handle ADF Page components). Let me know if this helps.

How to protect my iphone from scratched

Do not remove it from the box...
But if you must, and you want no scratches, you will need something like the Otter Box Defender or the LifeProof case.
But they all make the phone much bigger. I use the Otterbox, I like the extra bulk and protection.
Google is your friend, this has been discussed a Zillion times.

How to start collector inventory from scratch

Hi there,
I would like to completely redo collector inventory from scratch by deleting all current devices in collector DB and re-injecting a new list.
How should I proceed?
Thanks,

Hi Nic,
If you mean restart the discovery process, you would do that by unmanaging all devices by going to "Management:->"Unmanage Devices" and the doing discovery. Hope that answers the question

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..
Regards,
Nitin

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. :)

How to get UCM content from Java class?

Hello,
I need to get UCM content from backend I mean from the Java class. Is there any way to do that? If anybody please give any resources it will be very helpful.
Thanks and regards.

Hi
You mean to say that with JAVA API you want to search and retrieve the contents ? If yes , then you should use RIDC API for the same and that way you can use to do all the operations on UCM from the JAVA Api .
Search this forum and you will get sample codes for the checkin , search , checkout operations .
Documentation is available at : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e16819/toc.htm

How to uninstall Oracle 11g from windows xp professional version 2002 SP3

Hi Peers
I didn't know that, it's complicated to remove oracle and I was messed up with files&folders to uninstall and I'm lost :(
can any one help me out uninstalling oracle 11g completely from windows?
anyone's help would be greatly appreciated, hope will get out of this mess
Thanks a lot in advanced
Chowdary

yes, I know that I have installed OBIEE and those services related to OBIEE
my main objective is to install OBIEE and for that I got to install oracle database, I did install both database and OBIEE then I didn't find any database to use for OBIEE (silly right :P). yes, that is true and I'm lost
what to do now?
Found easy way is re-installing, I tried uninstalling both and not sure whether database was deleted or not, the same case with OBIEE
what I'm asking you is, "HOW TO ENSURE THAT I HAVE NO ORACLE DATABASE ON MY SYSTEM?"
Don't take me the other-way, I'm very new with Oracle products
Thanks for the patience & time of course :)
Awaiting for your valuable response

How to access ucm table from external application?

Hi All.
Is it possible to access an ucm table (configuration manager-> tables) from of the other external application?
If yes, how to do it?
Regards,
Diovani

It's just another DB table so JDBC would work fine.
You can connect to the UCM schema using a free tool like Oracle SQLDeveloper and look at the tables this alos uses a JDBC connection.
HOWEVER
I would not really recommend you use this approach without knowing a lot more. Certainly you should not have an external application making changes to the UCM DB. If you just want to read data SQL over JDBC is fine
BUT
It is better really to use the existing UCM services to access the data - if there is not a service that does what you want then you create it. This keeps you within the same design pattern of UCM and means you can continue to benefit from security and other rich services that UCM provides over and obove JDBC

Lightroom 2.6 trial download - how to build a catalog from scratch.

I have downloaded Lightroom 2.6 trial version and am trying to build a small catalog for it. I don't need my whole Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE 8) catalog, but I would like to build a small catalog out of images in the My Pictures folder so that I can experiment with this software. It recognizes the existence of my old PSE 6 catalog, but says it is corrupt and ask about building a new catalog. It will not recognize my PSE 8 catalog. How do I go about bypassing this "catalog recognition step" and go right to that part of the software that will let me build a catalog from the images contained in various folders in the My Pictures main folder. Unless I can get to the part where I can build a catalog to test out LR 2.6, then I am stuffed (as the Aussies would say) as far as testing this product. Maybe I need to download the Lightroom 3 Beta and see if it will recognize my PSE 8 catalog. Any suggestions, insight on how to resolve this dilemma are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
WesternGuy

When I bring up LR, it asks me if I want to buy or try...so to speak, I check off <try> and the <Next> and <Back> buttons are immediately greyed out and the only thing I can do is click on <Finish> or <Cancel>. If I click on <Finish>, It tells me that "the Lightroom catalog named "catalog" cannot be opened because it is not valid. Would you like to select a different catalog". The catalog is not registered as a valid catalog." It tells me where this invalid catalog is and then I have a choice of buttons that ask me to "choose a different catalog" or another button that says "Exit". If I select "choose a different catalog, then it asks for a location and gives me a button that says "Create a new catalog", it then goes to the My Pictures folder inside a panel that has at the top "Create folder with New Catalog" and then I don't seem to be able to do anything it likes. I never get to a menu that gives me the "File/New Catalog" option.(???)
Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall LR2.6.

WesternGuy
