Weblogic Server is a part of Oracle UCM license - in the restricted mode to host UCM (you will need it for 11g, as it is a J2EE application). So, unless you want to use it for other apps as well, it is not needed. HTTP Server is definitely not needed - Weblogic Server should contain a web server, if you need one, or you can go with another web server like Apache.
As for the solution architecture, it quite a subtle art and as you give absolutely no details, I'm afraid it is quite difficult to answer anything. You can start with sizing - product management released (alas, internally) a sizing tool, which can answer you a question how many CPUs of UCM (application server layer) are needed. It is based on the number of concurrent users and workload they produce (GUI, search/document retrieve, checkins, conversions to PDF, conversions to multimedia formats). Once you have this, you need to consider high-availability (a cluster in one location) and disaster recovery (backup-restore or even geo clustering). There is no formula to give you the right answer, but if you require HA, you might need RAC (Real Application Clusters) at the DB layer - app layer might be cluster by Weblogic and you might also need a load balancer. For DR, you might use database options (partitioning, DataGuard). Do not forget to consider the storage (even under database)! Especially, for large storage requirements (hundreds of TB and more) it can make your project much cheaper if you use the correct storage policy (using database ASM or HSM of filesystems such as ZFS or QFS).
Recommended HW - especially, if you need clustering, go with installation on Linux or Solaris. This will most likely lead to servers on Intel. You may go with any almost any proposal by a HW vendor of that kind (Sun Fire or blades). Just put there enough memory (12 GB at least per 2 cores of CPU). For multicore and multiprocessor servers, use Oracle VM or Solaris Zones to scale to your required number of CPUs of UCM and database (a rule of thumb: you will need half to two thirds CPUs of database compared to the number of UCM's CPUs).
However, keep in mind you might need to fine tune the generic architecture to your client's needs (e.g if you have heavy conversions)

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.

Autonomy + Oracle UCM

Hi,
Is there any way to connect Oracle UCM content repository to Weblogic Portal 9.2 or 10.2? Is it through Virtual Content Repository? If so, how to add a new repository to the virtual content repository. It is asking for the SPI class, username and password. It will be great if anyone elaborate on this.
Let me tell you the scenario I am working on. I am implementing federated search (first source is HTTPFetch, second source is FileSystemFetch and the last source is Oracle content server). I have tried and tested the first 2 sources. They are working perfect. I am stuck with the third source. I do not know how to use Oracle content server as a connector to IDOL server. Is there any way for this? Also, I would like to know the purpose of BEACMRepoFetch.

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.

How to create a new business group in production instance?

Hi All
How can I create a new Business Group in Oracle Apps in a production Instance where there wont be any HRMS responsibility. Do I need to create a new Business Group through Inventory responsibility ? Any documents about this issue?
Thanks and Regards
M.A.Rahman

why do you need to create a new business group? To implement HR? If so, linking a HR responsibility to your user, is one of the few steps to go anyway.
How you did it on the test environment?
Why not link a hr resp to your user temporarily, and disable it later.
I'm always afraid to answer this kind of questions, since the real requirement is not described.

Oracle UCM VS Share Point

can any one please give me the diffrences between oracle UCM and Sharepoint?

I am not really experienced in the subject, but they say that sharepoint's document management solution is not very good because it has the tendency to slow down if used heavily, but it's Portal capabilities are very good and chosen by the majority of technical community. UCM is very good at enterprise content management with its Web, and Desktop Integration Suite. For portal, you can develop your custom components in UCM, or you can license Webcenter, but there is still some time for Webcenter and UCM products to integrate better (workflows, and such). Still you can do it yourself. Hope the better professionals won't get mad at me at this post.

Oracle UCM (Stellant) CMS

Hi All,
I need some explanation about Oracle UCM (Stellant) CMS and Personalization of web sites using WebLogic Server.
Thanks,
Venkata Sarvabatla

The following documentation can give you a primer on Personalization using WebLogic Portal. With WebLogic Portal 10.3, you can use Oracle UCM as the content server from which content is surfaced to portal users using the Personalizaiton capabilities.
Introduction to WebLogic Portal Pesonalization Capabilities:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/interaction/index.html
Introduction to the WebLogic Portal Virtual Content Repository Capabilities:

Information on integrating UCM with the WebLogic Protal VCR:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/ucm_adapter/index.html
The advantages of Oracle's UCM offering speak to themselves and you can read about them on the Oracle Technology Network site (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/content-management/ucm/index.html). With WebLogic Portal, UCM offers a highly scalable and feature rich content/document management system that can serve multiple usages within your enterprise.

Oracle UCM 11g Config with DB

Hi,
I have configured Oracle UCM 11g in oracle sql developer, but am not able to see the tables related to Oracle UCM..(ex: Revisions, Docmeta).
Any documentation on this or any one faced this kind of issue.
Thanks...

I'd suggest you to follow the Installation guide - see Oracle&reg; Fusion Middleware Installing and Configuring Oracle WebCenter Content 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) - Contents
In a nutshell, tables (and everything else in the data model) are created by a utility called RCU. This is one pre-req to run the installation. Another issue could be that you have done installation, but you don't use the correct db user (scheme owner) to connect. The correct user for an installed instance can be obtain from the Weblogic admin console.

Oracle UCM Installation Supported Versions

I am installing Oracle UCM suite in Windows 7 64bit-OS, can anyone say which is the release version to download the following products
oracle DB version?
RCU version?
UCM version?
Experts please advice as there is a confusion with versions and releases

It is not supported on Win 7

Why not create a VM using a supported OS?

Oracle UCM Release Date - Workflow

In Oracle UCM the release date is shown at the date and time the content enters workflow. Is there an easy way to update the release date field with the date that the content is approved?. I am trying to report on the date that the content item was approved in the workflow, not when it entered the workflow.
Does anyone know of an easy way to do this. Is there any way in workflow to write out to a custom metadata field the date and time the content was approved?
Thanks in advance for your help with this.
Data_Bitz

What you're probably seeing is actually "dInDate" rather than "dReleaseDate".
On the content info page the revisions table at the bottom has an (intentionally) mislabled column called "release date" that actually displays dInDate
dInDate is when the content item was submitted.
dReleaseDate is when the content item is released from all the workflow processing and indexing into the general collection.
It is possible to have dReleaseDate set during workflow but only if you set wfReleaseDocument=1 in the workflow script(s).
So report on dReleaseDate and ignore what's in the revisions table.
Out of the box, UCM keeps dInDate as the date that you checked in the file. However, we have a product, "Workflow Solution Set" that updates the dInDate to the date that the item is released from workflow and thereby shows up in the revisions table and any other reports as the time the doc was actually approved for consumption. Check out our Workflow Solution Set product (for 10g and 11g) here: http://bit.ly/95Rocu
FYI: you can see what is getting loaded in that table by appending "&IsJava=1" to the URL and taking a look at the REVISION_HISTORY result set.
hope this helps

Multiple Production Instances in a C460 SAP Appliance?

Hello,
Is it possible to run 2 SAP HANA Production instances (ECC and BW) on the same C460 appliance with TDI storage?

We have implemented similar solutions to take advantage of a server that otherwise be redundant for the majority of the time and it does work well, I have not personally done this type of configuration on unix using OPMN but have on windows using failover clusters, I feel OPMN is a bit poor in terms of management and lacks functionality so maybe worth considering Oracle clusterware depending on the flavour of Unix.
You could also look at look at virtualisation options as an alternative.
Cheers

Oracle UCM Licensing

Guys.........need your help very badly........
I have a requirement and need your guidance in terms of UCM Licensing in Canada.
My client wants to convert all his hard copies into soft copies and make those documents searchable.
I suggested Oracle UCM since it satisfies our needs.
I am planning to use ODC to scan documents and upload it into UCM content server (10gr3)
This is for internal purpose and we are not trying build any application on top of it and sell it.
I am curious to know if we can download it from Oracle E delivery and use it or does it still require enterprise License.
Please help me in clarifying the same.
I tried contacting sales guys in canada ([email protected])
but the mail bounced back....
eagerly waiting for your reply

In general, I am sure you need a license (your company, not the client).
Few more notes:
- any Oracle product is available for 1 month for free
- if you don't plan to use a product perpetually, you can ask for a terminated license (e.g. for 1 year)
- if you are somewhere between 1 month and 1 year, you can ask for special conditions - I'm sure Oracle reps in Canada will be able to help you; if you are a registered partner, contact your channel manager
