Upgrade Content Services to Content DB

Looking for clarification on the following:
1. Can users of OCS Content Services upgrade to Content DB under their current OCS license?
2. Is Content DB the foundation for Universal Content Management?
3. Is Content DB related to the Content DB Suite?
4. Is there an upgrade path from OCS to Content DB to Content DB Suite to Universal Content Management?

Contact your Sales/Account rep for licensing details - I believe there is some grandfather style licensing upgrade model in place.
In terms of a migration/upgrade patch for Content Services to Content DB, we are currently looking in to this. For the time being though, we suggest that all new installations of Content Services actually utilize the Content DB installer (instead of the OCS installer).

Upgrade path from Content Services to Content DB

Is there an official/unofficial upgrade guide on how to migrate from OCS Content Services to Content DB?
And what about the licensing for the existing Content Services users?

Content Services will remain as part of Collaboration Suite, however at this stage there is unlikely to be further development into the Content Services product (at least from the original content dev team). The collaboration suite people are hard at work for the 11g release.
Content DB was originally a fork in the codelines, and a rebundling under Database Enterprise Edition. It is actively worked upon (by the original content dev team) and is the content component of the new Oracle WebCenter.
http://www.oracle.com/corporate/press/2006_oct/openworldsf06-23.html
Assuming the Stellent acquisition proceeds, Content DB will also serve as a content infrastructure repository for various Stellent ecm solutions.
http://www.stellent.com/stellent3/groups/mkt/documents/nativepage/oraclefaq.pdf
So for any customer wanting to get the new/increased Content Management functionality - particuarly for content-centric custom applications, they will need to move to Content DB.

Content DB vs. OCS Content Services

Deployed ESS in upgraded EP7.0, but content not found

Hi,
We upgraded our EP6 SP14 system to EP7 SP12. Then, deployed ESS Business Package through JSPM. It deployed with success. However, I am unable to locate the content.
I know from another system that the content should be located in Content Administration -> Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP -> End User Content -> Employee Self-Service. However, the Employee Self-Service area is not there. Also, none of the ESS roles can be found.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Rick

OCS Content services web user interface

Greeting all,
Is Oracle drive client required to perform the edit feature when attempting to select edit under the web based content services on a file. When I select edit from the web based user interface on a file I get a error saying that oracle drive is not installed.

I reinstalled with the newer version as the upgrade from the previous version was not to smooth, and I was left over with to many broken pieces after the upgrade attempt.
I suspect that I'm going to find out that the file versioning and check in and check out features are going to require oracle drive installed as well. This is not a option for us, as our remote clients need to use a pure web type interface/connection. It seems as if oracle still has some work to do to get the content services Web UI to were we need this to go.

Recover a single file in Content Services

I've been asked to document how we would go about recovering a single file in Content Services. The Trash/Archive angle I'm clear on, but what about an extreme case. Lets say that someone created a file, trashed it, emptied the trash, and then it expired from the Archive before the user realized that they needed the file.
Is it possible, and if so how would one go about getting the file back assuming that there is a full db backup once a day?
Would enabling BFILE aging help? If so, how?
On a related note: If archive is set to expire content after 1 month, but BFILE aging is turned off, when does deleted content get purged from the Archive? It's not 1 month, as I have deleted files in the Archive going back to January.

Archive expiration and BFile aging are orthogonal. BFile pushes the LOBs of documents that are in the archive to bfile. Archive expiration deletes files from the archive after the configured time. If this is not the behaviour you are seeing please file a TAR and they can help check whether your system is configured correctly or if you are running into a bug.

Windows File Properties vs. Content Services Properties

Hi.
On behalf of a customer I am evaluating Windows file properties vs. CS file properties.
Client Environment: Windows XP SP2, O-Drive.
Rightclick a File stored on O (O-Drive, Content Services).
a Props. Dialog shows up, the first tab is General*. It shows several file
properties among others the following:
- Last Access Date: This always shows Wed. 1 Jan 1986 00:00:00
Does this correspond to any content services file property? If so, why
is it always 1-jan-1986 00:00.00 and does not change? Is it a bug?
- Checkboxes Write protected* / Archive* / Hidden*
Do these correspond to any cs file property? Do these have any effect?
(I tried write protected, but it did not work as expected, I was able
to overwrite the file) Bug or Feature?
If these checkboxes do not work, could these be disabled through O-Drive,
otherwise users might get confused...
Regards, Tom
* (I don't know the exact english labels as I am working on a german client... so
I translated the german labels - sorry)

Hi. Sure, here's some collateral information:
We are evaluating Content Services for several customer projects.
During a presentation I held 2 weeks ago a customer asked exactly
those questions and I had to admit I could not answer.
So I retried on our test instance and checked the docu and still
could not get a clue how windows attributes and cs attributes correspond.
Then I asked MJS during last weeks workshop he did not know exactly either.
Hence I am asking on the forum.
Regards, Tom
(PS. If you require further background information you may contact me via email
or ask E. Neuwirth on Tom Gansor / OPITZ Consulting).

11.5.10 and OCS10GR1 Content Services As a repository

Hi,
I Had succesfully integarted 11.5.10 With Oracle Files
But I did not succed to do same thing with Oracle Content Services 10GR1.
Do you know if there is a way to use Content Services as a repository.(Workaround)?
Thanks

Now I just realized the old servers were RHEL4 32-bit and the new servers were by default created on RH 5 64-bit.
I'm pretty sure I can't just fire it up on a 64-bit OS without doing some extra work like export/import on the database.
App server not sure what I would do as libraries etc. would be different also.The apps tier node of EBS 11i is not certified on 64-bit Linux OS -- Frequently Asked Questions: Oracle E-Business Suite Support on x86-64 [ID 343917.1]
My thought is to get the servers rebuilt using RH5 32-bit and everything should work hopefully as long as packages are there.
Sound right or should I just go with what it runs on now (RHEL4) to be on the safe side.What is your database version? Please note that Oracle9i is not certified on RHEL5, so if you are running on 10g/11g database you should be good to go with RHEL5
Thanks,
Hussein

I think so..
Your Oracle Database doesn't connect to content server..
Maybe, you can edit the configuration of your UCM..
Please open the file at C:\oracle\ucm\server\config\config.cfg..
And then add the code :
NumConnection = 5;

Hi,
It sounds like your tables are either not there or are not available under your stellent_admin's account.
Now to be honest, I've not used the XE version of Oracle's db, but assuming it operates in a similar fashion to the regular version, it sounds like your content server tables are either not there or are created under a different account.
If they are under a different account, it's probably best just to delete them and re-create them again under the correct account as they are undoubtedly in the wrong tablespace too.
If they just aren't there, which I guess is possible if you decline the table set up option during installation, you just need to run the script.
running the script is actually pretty easy.
open up a command window and navigate to your 'UCM\ContentServer\database\oracle'
run sqlplus stellent_admin/[password]
once your logged in...type @all.sql;

Need Help in configuring Antivirus on content services

Hi All,
We are using Content Services 10.1.2.3.4 and for antivirus we are using Symnatec Antivirus Scan Engine(SAVSE) 5.1. We have installed Antivirus on both the boxes separately and while configuring the domain properties we are facing problem--> when we change the domain properties of one server it is automatically reflecting in the domain properties of the other server(for eg: if we change the hostname on server1 the same value is reflecting in server2 where we have previously kept server2's hostname).
Kindly suggest me how to proceed further I am following content services admin guide(B25275-04) for configuring antivirus

Copy distribution list to all content services user folders

We have an Outlook distribution list PST file that current resides in a Windows file server. This gets pushed out the the personal folder of each user overnight.
Going forward, we need to push this PST file to all the Content Services user personal folders (Users-A, Users-B ... Users-Z).
I created a single superuser that has all administrative rights to all the users personal folders. And I can upload a file through the webdav http interface.
with the "Upload" button while I'm "Switched to Administrative Mode" only.
And I can't see the users personal folders while using the Oracle Drive nor
thru a Network drive.
Is there a way of pushing this to all the users' personal folders???

Hi Juan,
I tried that but it is not showing the shared distribution list for moving.
I found 1 sap BC office document which stats that moving the distribution list form Private to public is not possible due to security reason.
So, no options for me and to create manual shared distribution list.
Thanks

BPEL's NotifyUserOfChange with Content Services

We have a problem getting data from Collaboration Suite's Content Services. We are using BPEL 10.1.2. We've used the built in jdev project NotifyUserOfChange. We are able to assign the Workflow so that each time a Conten Services file is updated in certain folders an email is generated with the folder name and a hyperlink to the file's location.
What we would like to include in the email is the username of the person who uploaded or edited the file. In Content Services under document properties, we see the values Created By and Last Modified By, but are unable to figure out how to have BPEL get those specific values in our email.

Hi,
Assuming you are using the latest Content Services patch (10.1.2.3.x), you should be able to see in the incoming queue message a parameter named :-
IFS_ECM_WORKFLOW_OWNER
The value of this parameter is the user whom triggered the workflow.
You could create a simple assign\copy rule using an xpath expression to extract this.
For Content DB, we are soon releasing some new sample workflows based on SOA suite that should simplify things a fair bit.
-Matt.
