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
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,

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 .

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?

How can scan directly with webcenter content

how can directly scan with webcenter content without other software for scanner
tnx

Hi,
If you are referring to not using ODC/ODDC kind of software which has drivers to connect to Webcenter Content then following is what I can think of:
1. Have your scanner drop the scanned images to a shared folder
2. Have a standalone Java program to checkin the scanned images to Webcenter Content using RIDC API calls
3. Access what set of metadata you want to set on the content, advice you set most of the general metadata on the folder so the content inherits them
4. If the metadata is available in a database then you could use the Java program to look up to this DB for metadata which performing the checkin

Error IBR with Webcenter Content cluster

Dear all.
I am using oracle webcenter content 11.1.1.6.
When i configure IBR single with single webcenter content it working but error with webcenter content cluster.
It still generate image but link access image not found and nolog. I don't known why.
Thanks all.

There's 1209496.1 from a few weeks ago.
also edited a few weeks ago: 1150893.1
There are a few others from last year, but these were the two that were at the top of the search. Perhaps it's a difference of the word 'cluster'. I use it primarily as the WLS group of managed servers. The IBR instances are not sharing resources or sharing queues of work, but they are configured in WLS as a set of clustered managed servers.
some repeated notes:
"IBR can not be active on more than one Managed Server cluster node at any time unless the following three (3) conditions are ALL meet.
The IBR instances are running on separate machines
The IBR instances do not share a file system
The IBR instances do not share a JVM or anything at all"
"All Inbound Refinery instances are completely independent. You can assign Inbound Refinery to a server group in WebLogic as a cluster, but it does not run as a cluster because each Inbound Refinery Managed Server runs independently. If you do create a cluster in WebLogic for the refineries, the cluster is used for management purposes only. If you are to "cluster" the refinery by putting two or more refinery managed servers in a cluster for them that you've created in a WebLogic domain, then the following three things must be true so that nothing is shared between the refineries.
The Refinery instances are running on separate physical machines
The Refinery instances do not share a file system, or any IBR configuration at all
The Refinery instances do not share the same JVM or anything at all
If the above three things are not true, you will encounter errors further down the line."
If you're going to update docs, there are at least a handful others that are specific to this case.

"Content Less" workflows with WebCenter Content

Hi,
"BPEL Process Engine" comes along with WebCenter Content for restricted use (for developing workflows/processes within or between WebCenter Content components only).
And as per the documentation only Basic (human triggered workflows with a document etc) and Criteria (auto triggered by an event - uploading a document etc.)
But, can we create a workflows without a document/content? E.g. a simple workflow of leave application where no document upload is required. Or a simple process for Customer on-board where there is no document involved.
Can anybody help me in understanding this?

Hi ,
For that you would have to set Metadata Only check-in which does not need a primary file . What it does is use the check-in form details and creates a file by itself (without having used any primary file) and creates the assets .
So , from the WF point of view there need not have any changes . Only thing is from WCC check-in side .
For details please check the following links:

Can anyone help on integrating Unifier with WebCenter Portal ? We are looking for a solution where we can show Unifier pages within WebCenter Portal application. Is this possible ?

Can anyone help on integrating Unifier with WebCenter Portal ? We are looking for a solution where we can show Unifier pages within WebCenter Portal application. Is this possible ?

If you simply would have posted here first, there are plenty of people who would have informed you of the current policy to have a data plan active on an account during the entire contract if purchasing a discounted smartphone.
Unfortunately, there are just as many on here who would claim the people informing you about this policy of being Verizon plants spreading disinformation and trying to make people afraid to upgrade via this route.
Yes this is a new policy, one which has been pointed out multiple times in these forums. Good luck, but I doubt you will have an outcome over this which will make you happy.
Verizon is closing as many loopholes to keep unlimited data as they can.

Integrating ucm with other content servers.

Hi,
Can I integrate oracle ucm with other content servers like Alfresco,Documentum etc.If possible how can i do it?

Hi
Yes , can do it in certain cases like Share Point where UCM has adapter components which would connect to the 3rd party CMS and data transfers can be possible .With Documentum as well I believe that there is an adapter which when installed on UCM / URM one can access to the other CMS.
Do not have any adapters apart from these 2 as far as I know.
Thanks

Integrating InDesign with WebCenter Sites

We are looking at implementing WebCenter Sites but need a print component as well. Has anyone intergrated InDesign with OWS? We want OWS to be the central place for all content. Most of that content is served for the Web, but some of it needs to be served for print.
Thanks.

How can I integration BPM with OWC spaces

I use BPM 11g PS4 (11.1.1.5) and I want to integrate my process spaces and displayed in webcenter spaces.
I read and practice from http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2011/02/bpm-portal-11g-ps3-how-to-configure.html and http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2010/11/bpm-portal-how-to-configure-oracle-bpm.html
but version of bpm in two link is bpm 11g ps3 (11.1.1.4) .
I step by step configuration but it's doesn't work with my bpm version.
Please answer me if who was resolve the same issue :-) . Thanks.

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

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

Integrating webcenter content with soa webservice

Hi All,
We have been working on Oracle Content Server for the past one year. Currently we have a requirement that we need to integrate webcent content workflows with oracle BPM worklist using webservice Definition Language(WSDL) url. (i.e.) whenever a workflow is triggered, we need to get a corresponding worklist item on bpm worklist without an email getting triggered for the corresponding approvers/reviewers.
Kindly suggest a suitable method to implement the above strategy. Thanks in advance.
Thanks

Problem integrating BPM Process Spaces with Webcenter Spaces PS5

Good Day!
I have currently installed a fresh build of Webcenter 11.1.1.6 stack in a single domain which contains:
1.)     UCM
2.)     Spaces
3.)     SOA with BPM
After configuring process-portal-install.properties, I have run the ant –f install.xml command which will integrate Process Spaces into Webcenter Spaces.
The problem currently I am facing is that after seeing the process spaces link in Webcenter Spaces, I am also being redirected to internal problem and seeing the logs, I have something like:

Hi Jeff,
Its looking that BPM was not correctly configured for some reason, exact root cause could not be pinpointed. You can try following two things:-
1. Run the following ant command and restart the Admin and managed servers
ant -f install.xml post-install -DpiArgs -importGSOnly
2. If Oracle BPM and WebCenter have been configured in different domains, configure Trusted Domain Credentials in both the Oracle BPM and WebCenter domains.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/e13707/domain.htm#SECMG404
If issue is still there, you can open the SR with Oracle and also have a look on following bug that is released on 24-May-2012.
