  • Need maximum information about Content Management in Weblogic Portal 10.3

    Hi,
    I have worked with Weblogic Portal before, but it's been some time, I do not remember much and I quickly need to find some info.
    We are making a proposal to a customer and have suggested Weblogic Portal.
    I would like to give as much information about the technicalities of the CMS in Weblogic Portal as possible.
    Could you please answer these questions ?
    I am looking for information on the CMS that is integrated in Weblogic Portal 10.3
    I have already checked the available information on the site :
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/cm/introCM.html#wp1067976
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/portlets/development.html
    I would like to find more information, especially regarding these questions :
    What are the portlets that are available by default in Weblogic Portal 10.3 ? I read about the Content Presenter portlets, which display real-time data.
    Are there other portlets like these ?
    How can i manage the documentation in the CMS ? I have several source of data (databases, Lotus repositories ...) : can i load them into the WLP Virtual Content Repository ?
    What about images ? Do i need to work on a special format to handle them in my portlets ?
    Is it possible to load data coming from XML files into the repository so i can display them on the portal ?
    Thanks a lot for helping.

    BulkLoader is described in the docs here:
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs102/cm/bulkloader.html
    As far as portlets go, WLP provides lots of facilities for creating your own portlets, to do exactly what you want them to do. It really depends upon what you want to do.
    If you're looking to display images, also take a look at the personalization features like Content Selectors and Placeholders, which can retrieve an image from the CM system.
    If you're looking to iterate over a set of content, take a look at display templates as a means to control the presentation.
    You may be able to use re-portlets from the WLP Admin tools, though I'm not familiar with the details.

  • CRM Content Management and KM

    Hello Everyone,
    We are looking to roll out portal integration to our CRM system using the PC-UI iViews. The customer is wanting to utilize the Content Management functionality within the PC-UI/CRM application.
    What I am interested in is configuring CRM to STORE the documents from the PC-UI into the KM Repository. There is documentation that describes how to setup a KM WebDAV Repository to view documents stored in CRM through KM. We want to do the opposite and store the CRM documents directly in KM.
    My hypothesis is that there is WebDAV support in both products and I 'should' be able to configure CRM to look at KM as 'just an other WebDAV' repository (a'la Content Server)
    Ideas? Confusion?

    Hi Robetro and Craig,
    Can you please let me know if you have found a solution for this.
    I have a similar requirement wherein I need to store CRM Content Management documents in KM.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.,

  • Content Manager and DMS

    Hi,
    I have only had a high level understanding of Content Management up until now.  I am currently planning for the storage of CAD, PDF, and Microsoft files for our ECC environment.  We are running ECC 6.0.  We are planning on using KPro to connect to the content server to retrieve the files.  I have reviewed the help on Content Server 6.3 and how that is suppose to be installed and configured.  I am not sure how DMS fits into the architecture, does it? 
    Can you use DMS instead of a seperate content manager server or do they work together? 
    Can Content Server be installed on and ECC server or must it be on seperate hardware.  I was thinking it would be best to have a development content server to test with and a production content server.  (If I need a content server at all).  If I have to build a content server for development can it share hardware since it will not do very much... only for testing.
    Any assistance on this architecture would be great.
    Thanks,
    Lee

    Hi Lee,
    You are thinking on right track. Any Pc you can take and make it as a development content server and one important thing, K-Pro and DMS both are different thing. In DMS you can store your documents either in K-Pro or SAP standard server, which can again make it down. So to make use of K-Pro server is best option along with DMS.

  • Comparitively between Oracle Webcentre content management and Oracle CMSDK

    Hi,
    Currently for one of my client they are using Oracle CMSDK 9.0.4.2.2 to maintain all the files which comes from upstream system or goes to downstream system for integration, the Oracle CMSDK support variety of protocol support e.g. http, ftp, sftp, NFS, SMB, CUP, WebDev etc.
    They have used CMSDK as file system repository, however all the data what we stored in CMSDK goes to database as LOB. This component get installed on Oracle application server.
    I am looking for similar product likewise CMSDK for the weblogic platform, as we are upgrading legacy middle ware to Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite.
    Is the Oracle web centre could be alternate option for CMSDK? or can you suggest some other Content management product which can be installed on weblogic server and can be integrate with composite process.
    Regards..

    + I want to use OCR/Bar Code features: For bar codes reading you need to use recognition server.Using it it will read the value in bar code and automatically indexed the fields
    + ODC VS WFR: In other way you can call capture process is not automatic i.e manual indexing required But in case if all things are good like quality of invoice etc and you want the process to automate without manual intervention ,this can be achieved with WFR.
    see the document below for ODC/WFR integration

  • IPTV Content Manager and Novell 6 Zenworks Dynamic Local User

    We are running Cisco IPTV viewer 3.2.24 along with Windows 2000 Professional on Dell260 workstations. We run Novell, version 6 with Zenworks 4 and Dynamic Local User to create a new user on the workstation. Every time a new user is created we have to add the tcp/ip address for the Content Manager. Is there a way to retain the address of the Content Manager for any user that is created on the local workstation so that we don't have to enter the address each time a new user sign-on to the workstation?

    Unfortunately, it seems, there is no work-around for this problem in 3.2 version of the IPTV Viewer. The Content Manager address is stored in the registry setting in HKEY_USERS.
    The behavior is different for viewer 3.4 where the CM address is stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and is common to all users.
    Solution is -
    a. Upgrade to IPTV 3.4 or 3.5 Viewer
    or
    b. Use the Web-based Program Guide
    You could also try playing around with setup.ini/iptv.ini {GuideServer= and GuideServerPort= } settings to see if there is any luck to hard-code this information while installing the software.
    More information is available at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/webscale/iptv/iptv32/admin_gd/chap4.htm

  • Servlet, Websphere Portal 5.1, Web Content Management and files

    Hi everybody,
    I created some contents in WCM and I need to store some files with them.
    Actually, I have an authoring template, with a text field containing the DocumentId of a LibraryFileComponent.
    Manipulating a content, I'm able to get the DocumentId of the LibraryFileComponent. With this DocumentId, I'm able to get the data (a byte array) and the file name.
    But I'm not able to get an URL to this component or to display the file on the screen (if it's an image for example)
    I tried this kind of thing
    Map parametermap = new HashMap();
    RenderingContext context = workspace.createRenderingContext(request, response, parametermap);
    context.setWcmServletPath("/connect"); // from PortalServer/wcm/config/aptrixjpe.properties - wcm.servlet.path
    context.setWcmWebAppPath("/wps/wcm"); // from PortalServer/wcm/config/aptrixjpe.properties - wcm.context.path
    context.setRenderedContent(myFile);
    System.err.println("ws.generateURL(context, fichier) : "+ws.generateURL(context, myFile));
    System.err.println("ws.render(context) : "+ws.render(context));And I get this :
    for generateURL : a bad URL with "null" in the middle of it
    for render : File Not Found
    I don't manage to get something better.
    So I want to do another way.
    As the real files are hidden, but not their data, when I use the method
    JavaDoc wrote: getFile()
    Returns the contents of the file contained within this component as a byte array.
    I obtain a byte[] containing the data... That's what I want to use.
    Method :
    Open a new navigator window
    put the good headers
    put the data
    That's what the page, which url is obtained by the render method, do. And that's what I want to reproduce
    So I did this
    public class GenereFileOneAction extends Action {
       public ActionForward execute
    (ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)
    throws Exception {
          String documentIdString=request.getParameter("id");

                if (document!=null){
                   genereFile(document, response);
             } else if (documentIdString.indexOf("LibraryFileComponent")>-1){
                LibraryFileComponent document=(LibraryFileComponent) ws.getById(id);
                if (document!=null){
                   genereFile(document, response);
          } catch (Throwable t){
             //t.printStackTrace();

                System.err.print("response="+response+", os = "+os+", data=");

                if (os!=null){
                   os.write(data);
                   os.flush();
                   os.close();
             } catch (Throwable t) {
                t.printStackTrace();
       public void genereFile(LibraryFileComponent file, HttpServletResponse response){
          System.err.println("genereFile("+file+", "+response+")");
          byte[] data=null;
          String fileName=null;
          if (file!=null){
             try {
                System.err.println("file!=null");
                data = file.getFile();
                fileName=file.getFileName();
                genereFile(data, fileName, response);
             } catch (Throwable t) {
                t.printStackTrace();
       public void genereFile(LibraryImageComponent file, HttpServletResponse response){
          System.err.println("genereFile("+file+", "+response+")");
          byte[] data=null;
          String fileName=null;
          if (file!=null){
             System.err.println("file!=null");
             try {
                data = file.getImage();
                fileName=file.getImageFileName();
                genereFile(data, fileName, response);
             } catch (Throwable t) {
                t.printStackTrace();
       }But the result is not the one I want.
    Here is my log
    genereFile(com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api.WCM_LibraryImageComponent@71373fd7, com.ibm.wps.struts.base.WpsStrutsPortletResponseWrapper@2a9ffd6)
    file!=null
    genereFile(..., 2004-06-24-02.jpg, com.ibm.wps.struts.base.WpsStrutsPortletResponseWrapper@2a9ffd6)
    response=com.ibm.wps.struts.base.WpsStrutsPortletResponseWrapper@2a9ffd6, os = null, data=[B@b26ffd0, extension=jpg, contentType=image/jpeg[/i]
    My questions are :
    - does any one knows why response.getOutputStream (either response.getWriter) returns null
    - when I click on a link to the action, the page on the screen is the last (just where I come from) but the Struts JavaDoc says about the execute methode
    Process the specified HTTP request, and create the corresponding HTTP response (or forward to another web component that will create it), with provision for handling exceptions thrown by the business logic. Return an ActionForward instance describing where and how control should be forwarded, or null if the response has already been completed.
    So do you think I might have a return in my genereFile methods ?
    Thank you

    I did as you suggested and removed the content from the web.xml file. The portlet installed and I was able to put it on a page, but it says the portlet is unavailable inside the portlet window on the portal page and here is the error from the log file

  • Need Information on Sourcing cockpit and Business rule framework

    Hi Experts,
    I am having 2 general qustions :
    1. ) What is sourcing Cokpit and what are the things that we can done from sourcing cockpit.Please explain in detail.
    example  : what i knw abt sourcing is...... It means from where we are going to source our material means vendor.
    My idea is to know everything abt sourcing cockpit.
    2. ) In SRM 7.0 what is the Busniess rule framework concept and if i need to configure a BRF approval process with respect to Shopping cart and a Purchase order in Extended classic scenario then how do i need to move ahead.
    Thanks
    Sunny

    Hi,
    Q no 1:
    Sourcing Cockpit is an area from where you can source the requirements..There are two ways  by which sourcing can be done.
    1. The Purchase requisiton created from ECC 6.0 can be pushed to SRM for Sourcing . Either direct material with Part no or
    Service requirement without part number
    2. The shopping cart created in SRM can be converted to sourcing.
    once the requirments are flown from ECC 6.0 and  SRM . in the SRM server in sourcing node--click Carry our sourcing.
    you can get all the requirements.
    From this  you can convert  it to Purchase order,contract,Auction. Bid invitation.
    Q. no 2 :Business Rule Framework.(BRF)
    This is related to Workflow .From SRM 7.0 this workflow is called Process controlled workflow. Only by simple rules the
    Workflow for  Approval process for P.O ,Contract,Bid invitation can be done.
    If you are SAP ABAP person they you can confugure this .Normally  ABAP person will do this.. Please go to S ID and get the
    details there for Business rule framework
    Just check in this forum in Search you can get more details and notes

  • Need information regarding local , foreign and document currency

    Hi All,
      I need to know the difference between local, foreign and document currencies.
    Thanks in advance,
    vinay

    Hi,
    Document currency:
    This is the currency set at the POS for the sales documents. If the POS system is not able to send this currency to head office, the POS currency is used as the document currency.
    Local Currency :
    Local Currency - This is, in most cases, the formal currency of the country. In SAP Business One, all the reports displayed in the local currency, and all the foreign currency transactions are translated automatically to local currency. This way, the local currency is the common denominator for all currencies, which enables balance calculation of multi-currency accounts/business partners.
    Foreign Currency: This currency we will talk mostly in the Financial areas

  • Web content management and using word to contribute

    Hello - our users are having issues using word to contirbute and edit content. They contibute something, sometimes in word tables and sometimes not, and it may look fine in word but when it gets converted, it looks differently. Are there any tips/tricks out there that I can share? DC template changes I can make? And thoughts would be great!!

    I assume you mean a HTML conversion.
    Make sure your people are using Word "styles" and not simply changing the font sizes. You will then need to set up a DC template to render tables & images in specific ways depending on the Word style used. Note that styles can only be paragraph-based. Set as your DC template the default template.
