Integrating WebCenter Sites 11.1.1.8 and Endeca

Hi all,
What’s New in Oracle WebCenter Sites 11.1.1.8 document states there is an integration of WC Sites with Endeca.
"Oracle Endeca Integration: Incorporate faceted search and guided navigation into WebCenter Sites driven websites to deliver more precise, relevant and complete search results. Enable site visitors to find information quickly with guided navigation. This Proof-of-Concept (PoC) reference implementation demonstrates how to integrate Endeca cartridges within WebCenter Sites. It includes sample code and best practice guidance. It will be productized at a later date."
Could you please guide me to where to find such PoC and more info about this integration?
We need to accompplish integration of WCSites and Endeca GuidedSearch.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Juan

The recommendation from the Oracle WebCenter & ADF Architecture Team is to keep the parts decoupled, installing WebCenter Sites on a separate machine. Otherwise it would be leading towards a 'Type 3' integration. Specifically looking at the proof-of-concept application 'Spark', which requires WebCenter Sites and WebCenter Portal installed on the same machine:
+"Due to this co-deployment requirement, most clients have avoided installing or using Spark. And not without reason: installing two big, complex applications on the same environment is problematic with regards to scalability and tuning."+

WebCenter Sites:Problem Rendering Save Button and Contributor UI DashBoard IN WCS

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in Webcenter sites regarding the Save button not being shown up while creating a new asset and contributor UI Dashboard not being displayed in some systems when opened in chrome.
Currently,when we try to create any new asset from our system we are able to see the save button in WCS environment.Also,in some of the systems contributor UI Dashboard doesn't display instead a white screen is shown up.But in our client system neither the Save button is displayed nor the Contributor UI Dashboard.
The issue for Contributor UI Dashboard sometimes get resolved when we reinstall chrome.
Further,Our system is having a jdk version as jdk1.6.0._38 and that works on 64 bit OS while our client machine is having the latest version of jdk7 which works on 32/64 bit OS.
Is the issue related to improper jdk version/there is some setting that needs to be done in browser/the browser version is not compatible?
Kindly suggest.

Sometimes the WEM Admin app corrupts the role and site assignments when saving changes. Whenever you work in the WEM admin UI, be sure that all of your changes save fully - don't rush the saving of data in that UI.
To fix this, try to "re-provision" your users and sites and you should be able to restore access. This is definitely frustrating, but it's fairly contained issue.

WebCenter Portal and WebCenter Sites Integration

We have a client requirement where we need to provide Web Content Management and Portal Solution in Oracle WebCenter product stack.
Contents, Templates and other Content Assets will be created and managed in WebCenter Sites, WebCenter Portal will be used for content delivery (Display content to end user). There is another requirement of content editing from WebCenter Portal; where a set of users will have the right to editing content present in WebCenter Sites.
Is there any available solution for integrating WebCenter Sites and WebCenter Portal to fulfill above requirements?

The best available info is in this thread: Integrating webcenter sites content in to Webcenter portal

WebCenter Sites (11.1.1.6) install alongside WebCenter Portal (11.1.1.6)

I'm looking for some recommendations for installing WebCenter Sites (11.1.1.6) on a development server which currently has WebCenter Portal (and Spaces), WebCenter Content (UCM/ECM) and WebTier installed.
For WebCenter Content and WebCenter Portal I followed the standard instructions and have been able to successfully start them in the Enterprise Manager, and login to the provided Spaces application.
Environment
Oracle Linux 6 (64bit)
Oracle XE 11.2.0-1
WebLogic 10.3.6
Oracle (Sun) JDK 1.6.0_23
Installed Products
WebCenter Portal 11.1.1.6
Content 11.1.1.6
WebTier 11.1.1.6
RCU 11.1.1.6
Middleware Home Files
ls /app/Middleware
     coherence_3.7
     domain-registry.xml
     logs
     modules
     ocm.rsp
     oracle_common
     Oracle_ECM1
     Oracle_WC1
     Oracle_WT1
     user_projects
     utils
     wlserver_10.3
Webcenter domain:
/app/Middleware/user_projects/domains/webcenter_domain
WebCenter Sites installation
The instructions (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29495_01/index.htm) for "Installing on Oracle WebLogic Application Server" say to run "<wl_home>/wlserver_10.x/common/bin/config.sh" to create a new domain.
However as this machine already has Portal, Spaces and UCM installed under a domain called 'webcenter_domain'. My question is: How can I add WebCenter Sites into the existing webcenter domain, if that is the recommended way?
If it's better to create a new separate domain such as 'sites_domain', then how can both webcenter_domain and sites_domain be run alongside each other? This might be more of a WebLogic configuration question, I'm not sure.
I'm looking for what the best practice recommendation is for running these parts of WebCenter together on the same machine.
The WebCenter Sites install wizard settings I was going to use are below, if this is useful. The part I'm unsure about is astrixed:
_./csInstall_
- Installation Directory:     /app/Middleware/Oracle_WCS1
- Development type
- Install mode: custom
- Avisport sample (check)
- FirstSite II Sample site modules: (all)
- Single server
- Sites System Admin account: -
- Sites Application Admin account: -
- Satellite Server account: -
- Sites Shared Files System: /app/Middleware/Oracle_WCS1/Shared
- Host name: webcenterserver
- Port of Application Server: 7001
- Platform Type: Application Server Platform
- Application Server: Weblogic
- Site Application Deployment: 1
Path: /app/Middleware/wlserver_10.3
Application Context root: /cs
- Sites Application Deployment: 2
** Weblogic domain name: sites_domain / webcenter_domain
** Sites application name: CS
** Manual Deployment dir: /app/Middleware/Oracle_WCS1/domains
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks

WebCenter Sites Site Capture Installation

Hi,
I have installed WebCenter Sites (along with Oracle DB and WebLogic server). I am able to successfully open WCS samples sites(Avisports & FirstSite II) and AdminSite.
Now, I want to install WCS Site Capture, but I am not able to find the installer for Site Capture?
Does Site Capture installer comes along with WCS installer? Or do I need to download it separately, if yes, please help me with the download location/link.
Thanks

Hello,
There is a ZIP with the WCS-SiteCapture instaler.
After unzip you find a WAR to deploy and a DB script that you have to deploy and run the script. After that you should run the installer.

I hope it helps.

WebCenter Sites and UCM integration

Hi,
Can any one help me to integrate WebCenter Sites with UCM.

There are a number of approaches to doing this, and it totally depends on the version of UCM you're using (and the version of Sites too for that matter). Have a look at this presentation that Bex Huff and I gave at Collaborate last year.

Integration of Apache Solr* and Webcenter Sites.

Hi ,
I am new to Apache Solr and Webcenter Sites . could you please guide us how to integrate both of them using SolrJ . please provide us the best ways for integrating them .
Thank you,
Sashank P

Hi Sashank,
In short you would need to customize WebCenter Sites.
You would need to include Apache Solr Client libraries into lib directory of you sites installation and call it withing the jsp template.

How ATG,Endeca,Webcenter sites are integrated in eCommerce?

Hi all,I just began studying ATG,and have not known it very much. My company use oracle's products like ATG,Endeca,webcenter sites.But I don't understand:
1.how they are integrated togethor.
2.What is their respective role in the whole eCommerce development?
3.how they collaborate with each other ?
I will very appreciate if you can solve my confusion.
sorry about my poor english.

Hi Sarah
What verison of ATG is your company using?
We can then point you to the right material.
For example prior to ATG 10.1.1 there was no product integration between ATG/Endeca it would have been a custom integration.
Thanks
Gareth

Endeca - Webcenter Sites integration

Hi,
Has anyone worked on the integration of endeca with oracle webcenter sites? I have to connect the database of oracle webcenter sites to endeca..but clueless on how to proceed..... :(
Any suggestions would b great..Thanks!

The primary way to ingest data from DB is JDBC, both pipeline and CAS support this option. (There is also a ODBC option in pipeline). In general you have to set the java home, driver class path, DB connection properties and provide a SQL that will return you the data that you want to ingest. Once you have the data the rest of the steps are similar to using CSV or XML.
Check the Developer Studio help if you plan to use pipeline OR the CAS Developer Guide if you plan to use CAS.
HTH,
Pankaj.

ATG & Webcenter Sites integration?

Is there going to be a convergence of ATG WebCommerce and WebCenter Sites down the road?

It seems that Oracle's focus has moved a bit from Oracle ATG only to Oracle Commerce. As such the forward looking information (of course accompanied with a good safe harbour statement) is now in general the combination of ATG and Endeca.
Elements of further integration are much lickely to include:
- structured and unstructured (web content) data integration from Sites to Endeca
- Single Sign on between the backend elements of the solutions (administration purposes)
- integration with Experience Manager for feeding cartridges from Sites
This is in addition to the existing integration possibilities between WebCenter Sites and ATG currently
Oracle WebCenter - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) (search for ATG in the page)
Hope this is helpful to you!

Webcenter sites integration with ATG

I have question on Webcenter sites and ATG integration.
We have to use webcenter sites as Web content management system that will feed the static content(text, images, videos, and other documents) to ATG. ATG will be acting as front end and host webpages. We have below two possibilities that we can think of
From Webcenter site we will use its APIs and expose web-services that ATG can consume to get the static contents. (requires lot of effort)
Webcenter site will publish content on the file system that ATG can link to and show them in a webpages. (relatively less effort)
Second solution looked good but there is no documentation that says it is possible. Only one document ‘cip_11gr1_for_file_systems_and_ms_sharepoint_administrator_guide.pdf’ explains
the pulling the data from file-system but it does not mention publishing to file-system.
Another document (webcenter_sites_11gr1_bp1_admin.pdf) that explains publishing to hard disk is template based publishing meaning, we will have to create templates which not a not intended way. since we don't want to create template just to publish.
My question is – is it possible that webcenter sites can to publish to file-system? If yes is there any document which can help us achieving that?
Will appreciate if you can suggest any other approach for integrating these two product.
Thanks
Sameer

Hi Sameer -
OOTB you can publish assets directly to disk using Export to XML, but you realize that by doing that, you're essentially using Sites as a very expensive GUI over a database. By using a combination of Java classes and JSPs you can create very rich markup (or XML, or JSON, or whatever you like) and render that, then export that data to disk. That way you can traverse asset relationships and write much more complex data to disk for consumption by external systems.
As for your options of #1 vs #2, you need to think carefully about what your goals are for using Sites and for using ATG. There are a number of other integration options between Sites and ATG, including the reverse of #1, which is to have Sites render most pages and then consume data from ATG in service form. There is also the efficient and decoupled approach of standing up ATG and Sites side-by-side and selectively integrating components together. So Sites would drive marketing content and ATG would drive commerce content, and the two would leverage service APIs between the two when needed (for example, to render an ATG promo in Sites, or to render a detailed product description from Sites in ATG).
Each approach has pros and cons and there is no Correct Way To Integrate ATG and Sites, but there are, as you can see, several common patterns.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Tony Field
