Webcenter announcement service

Hi There,
I have created a custom webcenter portal with announcement service (Announcement Taskflow), want to use some workflow to get approved before new Announcement published to live.
May you please let me know if there any solution to this issue, as I am not using spaces as I am using WebCenter Custom portal ?
Awaiting for your kind reply.
Thanks

OOTB Announcements do not support workflows. This is not a question of using Spaces vs. WebCenter Portal app, but mainly, because Announcements do not support "states".
Even if you decide to customize it, it might be quite challenging. What you could try is:
- there is a parameter Make Active on Specific Date - you'd could assign a date in a far future and then change it in a workflow to the date of approval
- this chapter http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_announce.htm#CACIFEDB mentions security for announcements - maybe you could somehow use it
I'd rather go a worklist as described in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10149/content_workflow.htm#WCSUG8483
If you really insist on Announcements, you could (auto-)create an Announcement (via calling the appropriate service) in the end of a successful worklist workflow.

Integrate Webcenter Announcement service in Oracle Adf

I am trying to integrate Webcenter Announcement service in my oracle adf application.
I followed all the steps as written in oracle documents, but still I am getting following error.

any suggestions plz.

You'll need configure some security pre-requisites to access Announcement in your custom application.
The documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/webcenter.1111/e12405/wcadm_ann_disc.htm#CIHHICII
When you finish this, discussions server will trust in your application to log in the users.

Discussion and Announcement Services in webcenter Spaces + Active Directory

I had successfully customized Discussion and announcement Services in webcenter spaces using the default authenticator user WEBLOGIC. And it was working fine.
I was able to post and configure announcement and also able to create forums and threads in webcenter spaces.
Now i have Successfully integrated my ACTIVE DIRECTORY to WLS. And now i want to configure discussion and announcement using active directory users. i am facing problem in it. I am able to login to Webcenter spaces as well as 8890/owc_discussions and also in 8890/owc_discussions/admin (jive forum admin) using AD users. i have also given admin roles to ACTIVE directory users in 8890/owc_discussions/admin under Global Settings -> Admins & Moderators .
When I tried to configure Discussion and announcement Services in webcenter spaces it gives me errors like.....
(1) The service did not get provisioned.
(2) failure to authenticate the user *******, due to: Unable to connect to discussion server.*
Do i need to make changes in keystore.properties & jive_crypto.jar ? Do i need to make a new connection in EM inside WebCenter > Service Configuration.
Please help.
Thanks

Have you set up ws-security between your webcenter and discussion server? If not you need to set it up to get rid of the authentication error.
Are you setting up a single-sign on between all webcenter components using OAM? If so there is an additional step to add/update owc_discussions.sso.mode property under discussion admin.

Exception while rendering Announcement service

Hi
I was trying to configure the announcement service in a webcenter portal application. After configuring it, the first time it rendered the announcements properly
but the second time on redeploying the application it gives the below exception
oracle.webcenter.collab.share.LoginFailedException: failure to authenticate the user weblogic, due to: Unexpected error occurred, due to : javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: InvalidSecurityToken : The security token is not valid.
Need a little help here please.
Thanks

Hi
Before adding annoucements i performed the below steps
1. In the application resources added a connection for Discussion forum.
2. Pointed the URL to http://<server_ip>:8890/owc_discussions and specified the Admin user to be weblogic
3. Policy URI for authenticated access : oracle/wss10_saml_token_client_policy
4. Policy URI with Public Access: null
After configuring the above in Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4 and running the application, logged in application as weblogic(basic authentication configured)
and then through the portal admin console added the announcement taskflow to the page from the resource manager at run time.

WebCenter Links Service for Fusion Object

I am working on a Fusion Application that has the following requirements:
1. Links between Fusion Business Objects (i.e. VO). For example, link a Fusion Srevice Request Object to another Fusion Service Request Object or to a Fusion "Solution" object.
2. Link from WebCenter resources to Fusion Business Object. For example, link a a Web Center discussion thread to Fusion Service Request object.
3. Link from fusion Business Object to WebCenter resources. For example, link a Fusion Service Request object to a Web Center discussion thread.
Can WebCenter Links service meet all the 3 requirements above? Based on the WC guide shown below, it seems that Fusion Business Object (i.e. a Service Request VO) can NOT be a link "to" target for the Links Service.

Hi,
I have not worked with Webcenter Suite but as far as I know there is no similarity between Webcenter Suite and OSB. Webcenter Suite is a portal framework and OSB is a routing solution product. From the info you provided, I would suggest to use OSB.
First of all identify what you need and then choose the product. Please elaborate your use case (specially the front-end part).

Integration of Webcenter Discussion service with ADF Application

Hi,
I'm in the process of integrating the Webcenter Discussion service in an ADF Application.
I have completed the following steps.
1. Installed JDeveloper 11g and Webcenter 11g.
2. Configured the Discussion server which was installed along with Webcenter 11g.
3. Integrated Discussions with ADF Application by creating a Discussion connection.
The ADF Application is running fine. But the forums are displaying empty. In the Discussion server, I'm unable to create new users and there are no options to create forums and to create threads.
Help me in getting the below things,
1. Where we can create forums?
2. What settings we need to make for new forums and where to do those settings?
3. Are there any settings to create new users as i have only one default user 'weblogic'? When i create new users from Discussion server, I'm getting the message as 'Create users not supported'.

Hope you are using WC_Collaborations managed server to manage all discussion forum activites.
For you requirement ,you need to navigate the following url:
http://<server address>:<WC_collaboration port>/owc_discussions/admin
it will take you to jive forum admin page .where you can create new forums and new users also. For user and groups management ,visit -
http://docs.jivesoftware.com/latest/documentation/forums-admin-guide.html#users_groups
In your application , all users are coming from weblogic server's embedded LDAP or from external LDAP(if you configure so ). there also you can create user.
I have a doubt ,regarding your application.
Are you using only ADF application ,or webcenter application.
for displaying discussion forum ,you need webcenter discussion forums taskflows in your page .
If you use only ADF application,then you need to add all the forum corresponding libraries in your application otherwise need to consult with oracle support.

this url "http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/webcenter.1111/e10149/pages_content.htm" is about page content, but there aren't api about page content.
how to use page content api by programming?
Thanks a lot.

I am unclear on the usecase to programatically use an API to create a page this way.
Can you explain why you cannot interact with the UI to develop pages?

Webcenter with Service Bus....

Hi,
I need to integrate external system / third party systems which are providing the data information, exposing through several options like WebServices etc and in future these integration points/systems will be more or may change.And all these systems are not available internally and are distributed systems.
Taking this into Scenario, should I use Oracle Service Bus for connecting, mediating and managing interactions between heterogeneous services?
Or should I use Webcenter services module of Webcenter Suite fusion middleware for Integration.
Thanks!!

Hi Shaeer,
Make sure that you dont have same port numbers on both servers.
If it then try to avoid them.
Secondly also check nodemanager log server log to verify why it went to shutdown mode.

Webcenter Kudos service

We are facing the below exception
oracle.webcenter.peopleconnections.kudos.KudosServiceException: Feedback message cannot be added
at oracle.webcenter.peopleconnections.kudos.internal.model.UserKudosImpl.addKudos(UserKudosImpl.java:262)
Does any one know about the required settings or log details of KudosService.
Let us know the chances when can this issue occur.

Does it bubble up to the surface and do people have issues when using the environment?
Sometimes the error can be an internal one. I also see errors when i look in my logs but some of them can be ignored. I know it's not pretty but not every error in the log is something the user sees.
can you provide the complete stacktrace of this error? Maybe there is some more info further down the stack.

Hi,
Can somebody please tell me which webcenter services need UCM?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply!
Basically we are not able to install UCM alongwith Webcenter (due to performance issues).
So we would like to know if we can still build/integrate some services without UCM.
Apart from the services you mentioned, can we build/integrate following services also, without UCM?
Announcements Service
Instant Messaging and Presence Service
Links Service
Mail Service
Recent Activities Service
RSS Service
Search Service
Thanks

Webcenter Spaces Events Service configuration: FATAL Alert BAD CERTIFICATE

Hello,
I have a simple requirement to connect the events taskflow from an exchange server that is https and has a confirmed security certificate. I use the wsdl path for the events service and add it to my webcenter spaces service configuration -> Personal Events configuration.
Then I ran into this error.
javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException: FATAL Alert:BAD_CERTIFICATE - A corrupt or unuseable certificate was received.
So, I downloaded the .crt file from Chrome (in per format) and used the keytool to upload the certificate exception into the cacerts file inside jdk and jrocket folders. I restart the managed server running WebCenter Spaces. This had no effect on the error.
Is there anything else that I should do?
Thanks,
Pradyumna

I have the same problem. Did You resolve it?

Hi,
Open your setDomainEnv.cmd or setDomainEnv.sh (you can find these files in <Your Domain>/bin directory) and search for EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES. now you can append -Djps.auth.debug=true and -Djps.auth.debug.verbose=true to this variable like this.
set EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES=-Ddomain.home=%DOMAIN_HOME% -Doracle.home=%ORACLE_HOME% -Djrf.version=11.1.1 -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger -Djrockit.optfile=%ORACLE_HOME%\modules\oracle.jrf_11.1.1\jrocket_optfile.txt -Doracle.security.jps.config=%DOMAIN_HOME%\config\fmwconfig\jps-config.xml -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=oracle.mds.net.protocol -Dweblogic.alternateTypesDirectory=%ORACLE_HOME%\modules\oracle.ossoiap_11.1.1,%ORACLE_HOME%\modules\oracle.oamprovider_11.1.1 -Dsso.filter.enable=true -Djps.auth.debug=true -Djps.auth.debug.verbose=true %EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES%
Now restart your Weblogic server, Its working fine for me.
Please refer http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/core.1111/e10043/aptrouble.htm#CIAGDHEH.
Note:-
Link http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/core.1111/e10043/devauthoriz.htm saying we should use -Djps.auth.debug.enable=true and -Djps.auth.debug.enable.verbose=true and I tried but its not working.
