Webcenter -Content can be socialized ???

Hello,
We are work on POC and here I need your suggestions and help.
We have an application using Site Studio and Webcenter Content. Our application shows different electronic products in each secondary page. Its working fine.
Now we want our user to communicate. They should be allowed to express their experience and feedback. I looked into OSN - Conversation feature. I liked it!!
what is our requirement and plan::
1. We can have one small portlet where we can show latest conversation.
2. If user want to express they can log in and add their comments.
In different words, if you have used/ seen the Facebook application, currently we see one portlet on right top, which shows all the updates of your friends. Similar things but in my case we will show all the conversation related to the product. So if I am looking at Iphone product, we get all conversation only related to the Iphone. Once I switch to different page lets suppose Samsung 4S product page then we should see only conversation related to Samsung 4S product.
Suggestion need??
1. So do we have any connection with webcenter content and 'Oracle Social network' in terms of implementation.
2. How can I selectively bring the conversation feature in my application?
3. Do we have OSN downloadable tool available for POC?
4. Please lets us know any development document available?
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
MAK

Hi Srinivas ,
Yes , ECM can be integrated with Oracle EBS (enterprise business suite) and other Oracle Apps as well like Peoplesoft , Siebel etc .
Details can be read from the following link : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e17953/toc.htm

Can Webcenter Content serves as a content repository to present to Adobe CQ5?

Hi,
It seems that we really love to use Adobe CQ5 but want to build web sites so that some of those contents are from WebCenter Content.
Is it possible for WebCenter Content to share to Adobe as its content repository?
Possible?
K.

Hi ,
Webcenter content can be used as the repository if the connection framework to Adobe is created with a common background . For eg , maybe you can use web services / java to create an application that will pull the contents from WCC and display it from Adobe .
These documentation links will help you in getting a start : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29542_01/doc.1111/e26694/part7_integrate_apps.htm#CIHJHEHA

Audit Logs which track who download document from WebCenter Content

I have a requirement from user to see who and when documents has been download from WebCenter Content.
Does Oracle WebCenter Content can log "download" event?

This very much depends on how you retrieve the document.
Direct URL links (such as http://192.168.44.129:7001/cs/groups/public/documents/document/mdaw/mdaz/~edisp/ucm_003205.xls) cannot be tracked (I think the request is handled only by the web server).
GET_FILE links (such as http://192.168.44.129:7001/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_FILE&dID=3805&dDocName=UCM_003205&allowInterrupt=1) can be tracked.

Number of workflow can create in WebCenter Content

Hi all,
I wonder that, How many criteria workflow we can created in WebCenter Content? If I create about 200 criteria workflows and enable all of them. So, what will happen with performance of system?
Do you have any idea about this issue?
Thanks a lot!

As for performance there is one step in CHECKIN_* services which evaluates whether or not the item should enter a workflow, so may expect an insignificant (200 is not that much) delay in check-ins.
Note that you may have one generic workflow which always starts and then redirects processing to the appropriate sub-workflow, or finishes.
Depending on setup (how many workflows are eligible to a single user?) you may expect the number of items in a user's workflow queue to increase, which may slow down display of of pages such My Workflow Assignments. If you have a user with hundreds of workflow items (regardless whether it comes from one or 200+ workflows) these form might take tens of seconds to display, which can be annoying.
Where I would be definitely concerned is a) usability and b) maintainability
With 200+ workflows are you sure what happens if you check-in an item? What workflow needs to be modified, if a change request comes? Etc.
Workflow Admin applet is not exactly an IDE where you want to maintain so many workflows.
Have you considered using BPEL/BPM workflows?

How can scan directly with webcenter content

how can directly scan with webcenter content without other software for scanner
tnx

Hi,
If you are referring to not using ODC/ODDC kind of software which has drivers to connect to Webcenter Content then following is what I can think of:
1. Have your scanner drop the scanned images to a shared folder
2. Have a standalone Java program to checkin the scanned images to Webcenter Content using RIDC API calls
3. Access what set of metadata you want to set on the content, advice you set most of the general metadata on the folder so the content inherits them
4. If the metadata is available in a database then you could use the Java program to look up to this DB for metadata which performing the checkin

Databind method call returns null in WebCenter Content Filter

Hi,
I have inherited some code that has an issue and I'm new to WebCenter Content and the Filters that can be added. We have a FileNameFilter class that starts off with the code
public class CWEFileNameFilter implements FilterImplementor {
    public CWEFileNameFilter() {
        super();
    public int doFilter(Workspace workspace, DataBinder dataBinder,
                        ExecutionContext executionContext) throws DataException {
        String service = dataBinder.getLocal("IdcService");
However, service sometimes comes back null and then the filter throws a NPE.
My questions are:
1) Can anyone explain what dataBinder.getLocal("IdcService"); is doing and why it could come back as null
2) Can anyone provide any links to documentation that explains Filters and a bit more about the DataBinder object as the JavaDoc isn't much help.
Thanks
Marc

Hi Marc,
Below code will give service name for which filter is implemented from LocalData
String service = dataBinder.getLocal("IdcService");
for example below
http://localhost:16200/cs/idcplg?IdcService=DOC_INFO_BY_NAME&dDocName=1111111&IsJava
This will print entire response data including localdata and results which are created as part of service execution. Below is snippet
<?hda version="11.1.1.8.0PSU-2015-04-01 00:14:53Z-r126309" jcharset="UTF8" encoding="utf-8"?>
@Properties LocalData
DocUrl=https://localhost:16200/cs/weblayout/groups/secure/documents/test/mhdk/mjg1/1111111.pdf
IdcService=DOC_INFO_BY_NAME
so String service = dataBinder.getLocal("IdcService"); will be service ="DOC_INFO_BY_NAME".
Below blog will give some idea about filter but best place to learn or start is "The Definitive Guide to Stellent Content Server Development" by Brian Huff
http://www.redstonecontentsolutions.com/technical-blog/ucm-service-handlers-and-javafilters
Also i would recommend reading "WebCenter Content Services Reference Guide"

Issue in Configuring Oracle WebCenter Content: Records

HI,
I have an issue in Configuring Oracle WebCenter Content: Records
In "Records Management Setup Checklist"
     Checked-in Audit Entries Default Metadata
     Checked-in Screening Reports Default Metadata
     Checked-in Reservation Default Metadata
Am not able to select the category/folder in the default check-in form for the above, and i don't see anything in the drop down also
When i click on the Browse button of above 3..
see Retention Schedule & favorite Schedule
But am not able to select any of those.
AnyOne faced this issue, pls help..
Thanks!!!!

The Oracle webcenter content: Records system will enable the retention schedule but it won't create any default retention category. If you want apply retention to a content then first you have to create the retention category and the disposition rule. Once you create the retention category then it will be listed under Retention Schedule. In your case complete the default configuration without applying retention, once you create retention you can apply that to those contents.
Browse Content --> Retention Schedules --> Create Retention Category

Is it possible to change the path of the JSESSIONID in WebCenter Content (formerly UCM)?

We are having problems with multiple portal applications, spaces, and WebCenter Content all using JSESSIONID. I know you cannot change the name or path of the cookie in spaces and I know how it can be changed in the apps. I also know that Oracle do not recommend changing the name in UCM, which would be OK if we could change the path from "/" to something else...say "/cs". I have not been able to find a way to do this so any help would be appreciated.
Bill

Hi Bill ,
I think the details in the following link will help you achieve this :

Get value based on column names for custom metadata field of Webcenter Content

In UCM, I created a custom metadata field of type Text. I then enabled optlist in that field. I populate values to the optList, I am using a View. The View has three columns. Let us call them ID, Key, Value. OptList displays the Keys in its list. I then create a Content (Content ID: MyContent) in Webcenter Content and choose values from OptList for my new metadata field (MyField).
From Webcenter Portal, I am populating a selectOneChoice with values of MyField in the Content ID: MyContent. Remember from previous step, the values populated in selectOneChoice is the list of values selected from optList field MyField. This optList is in-turn populated from View. After the user selects a value in selectOneChoice, in Javascript, I need to alert a message in this format "value chosen - corresponding value from View of optList that populates MyField"
I think an example will be useful:
Here is a View that I created in Configuration Manager applet in Admin Applets of Webcenter Content:
ID | State | Capital
1 | North Carolina | Raleigh
2 | California | Sacramento
3 | Illinois | Chicago
Then, I create a Custom Field (Name: MyField). MyField is an optList the values are populated from View created above. The internal value and display value are both State. Then I Check-In a new content with Content Id: MyContent. For MyContent, I select these values from OptList for MyField: {North Carolina, Illinois}.
In my Webcenter Portal application, I create a Content Presenter Taskflow. I configure it as a single item content presenter. I assign MyContent as Content Id. Then, in templateView, I get all values of MyField in MyContent and display them as selectOneChoice. I created a javascript function that would get the value that user selected in selectOneChoice. In the View created in Webcenter Content's Configuration Manager (above), there is a value corresponding to each value displayed. So, for the selected value, I need to get the corresponding Capital and display it in my alert message.
From Javascript, how can I get the value of Capital, given I have the value of State.

Hi.
The idea to achieve your requirement is next:
Create a helper manage bean that will be call as Map access: #{stateUtil['Calofironia']} (it will return Raleigh). This value will be get calling GET_SCHEMA_VIEW_VALUES IDC service using RIDC in your manage bean.
Pass the result of #{stateUtil['statename']} to your JavaScript function using <af:clientAttribute.../>
I hope this information help you.

Webcenter Content URL is NOT WORKING

Hi All,
I'm new to Oracle Webcenter and installed webcenter content 11.1.1.8 in my system(Windows 7).After running Admin and managed server(UCM_server1), getting the following error while i'm going
to connect http://localhost:16200/cs
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
Please help me to resolve the issue? Thanks in advance.
Regards
Chandra

Srinath is 100% correct.
If the deployment failed, then there will very likely be some mention in the log.
You state that you checked the log, but you didn't mention whether you found an error, no error, a successful startup, etc. you are providing painfully few details to assist.
I would bet if you posted your .log and .out logs to Pastebin.com - #1 paste tool since 2002 and provided us links, We would be able to point out the error.
Lacking that information, my best advice would be to re-install and double-check you're completing all steps in the correct order.
Also, be sure to always search the product documentation first, the search this forum. For basic issues (e.g., standard installation), there is a high probability that someone else has asked that question.
I hope that helps,

WebCenter Content Architecture

Hello everyone,
I just need an advice on how to solve a particular client's document management requirement. Need help on a good (if not best) architecture for their case.
In a nutshell, they have satellite/offsite branches that can receive documents from their customers. They want to get those documents digitized and kept in a doc. mgmt. solution. I've looked into some implementation examples from this site: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/implementation/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm
but there's no WCC configuration where a content contributor is outside the client's intranet (or extranet). Is it ok to just have one Content Server in the head office/data center, and the branches can connect to WCC (client-server mode) from a different geographical location? Or should there be a branch content server where scanning is available?
Hope you can throw in some ideas.
Thanks,
Jason

Thank you for the explanation! I've commented inline on some of the items.
Well, I don't know. This very much depends on what requirements
> get those documents digitized and kept in a doc. mgmt. solution
and
> a content contributor is outside the client's intranet
really mean.
The process basically is that customers go to either the head office or satellite branches to file an application. In order for the application to be processed, supporting documents must be presented. Currently, the client is photocopying these documents and filing away manually in cabinets. If an application needs to be reviewed again later, they need to sift through their storage.
Since they can accept applications from different locations, scanning and indexing (or in WCC, uploading/checking-in) of documents will be outside the data center where WCC will reside.
a) It is certainly true that WebCenter Content is a centralized, not distributed system.
OK, noted!
b) There are few exceptions (that might be irrelevant to your use case)
Desktop Integration Suite supports also offline mode (for reading, but even updates of documents)
Some news from PM suggest that the new 11.1.1.8 release will support mobile solutions, where content can be ingested even in offline mode (where a mobile device has no signal)
The mobile support will definitely be great as some branches have limited physical space. Although, I might put this in the backburner for now.
However, those scenarios are usually only for exceptions - you cannot expect that a remote site would work with a single DIS client and/or mobile device.c) ODDC is also a centralized solution, but you could have one ODDC server per branch, if necessary, supplemented by ODC. However, ODC/ODDC can be used only for content ingestion (scanning/importing documents, initial metadata). Once a document is committed to a content repository, it is (usually) no longer available. Besides, there is no support for scenarios like searching, revisions, content retrieval, etc.d) Even though, WCC is a centralized system, it does not mean that you could not try to implement a distributed scenario using content migration/replication (Archiver utility). There are, however, two main reasons against it:
Costs - CPU/NUP license model is very effective for a centralized solution, because you can benefit from synergy effects of clustering. I remember a project where we had 80+ branches, altogether with 4K+ users that could run on something like 4 CPUs (eq. to 200 NUPs), if centralized
Manageability - everyone in OCS (Oracle Consulting Services) strongly discouraged us from any distributed design. Imagine a star architecture, where you have one central node containing everything, and a number of smaller branch systems containing items "belonging" to the branch. Unless the product supports a distributed locking (check-out) you can easily end up with inconsistent data. Again, there can be exceptions - in our case, we had just one revision, data were synchronized overnight and it could never happen that data was updated by anyone, but the branch that "owned" them.
In our case, the issue was the internet connectivity, and fortunately, we were finally able to convince the customer to solve the root cause, rather than go with an overkill architecture.
I think the architecture can survive with just one ODDC server where branches (not that many) can connect and send scanned documents to. There are no hard requirements on revisions yet. I also need an application to actually encode the customer's application, and is thinking of a custom-made ADF application, deployed on the WLS where WCC will run on. Or can I just create pages on WCC and expose that?
IMHO,
> a content contributor is outside the client's intranet (or extranet)
is not an argument for a distributed architecture.
OK, understood.
If your concern is security, you may install web server to DMZ. One remaining challenge might be managing user identities, but even for that there are solutions available.
OK, I'll look into this.
Thanks for all the inputs!

Customizing prebuilt taskflows for accessing webcenter content server

Reposting from webcenter content group...
Hi,
We are building an application to manipulate content server objects and are thinking of two option: one is to use RIDC and build our own presentation tier. another is to use existing components such as Document Manager and customize them to suite our needs.
So far we have not been able to find enough documentation on how to customize these out of the box components. To give an example, When a document is uploaded, we requiire to populate metadata such as author name, security group the document belongs to and so on. Another example is when a document is created we want to attach a workflow to that document.
Are there any recommendations? If customizing existing taskflows is a better option, can you provide us links to the resources?
We have tried Oracle documentation and some of the blogs, and everytime we run in some exception or the other. I will refrain from posting those exceptions here as our developers have raised those questions in other threads.
Thanks and Regards
Shridhar

Hi Yannik,
Thanks for your reply. we want user to input values for the metadata fields. We tried to add input fields in Upload.jsff but ran into some exceptions. One of my colleague has posted following threads on this forum.
Re: Document Manager Task Flow Customization
Document Manager Task Flow Customization
Can you please point out to the resources/documents that explains how to add forms in existing taskflows? It is possible that we are looking at wrong places for the information.
Another issue we face is when we start Jdeveloper as a customization role, JDeveloper either becomes unresponsive or or freezes when we open an XML file or JSFF file from within Webcenter Docuement Services View library. This hampers our further progress as well.
Thanks again for your reply,
Shridhar

OCR with WebCenter Content and Imaging

Hi,
I'm searching for some information about OCR with webcenter content and imaging.
I've seen that there are two solutions :
- WebCenter Capture
- Webcenter Forms Recognition
But I can't find if any of that product use lexical post-correction of OCR results. Is anyone have this information?
Thanks,
David

David:
Both products will use print (vs handwritten) character recognition to identify "tokens" from the image of a document with text. Capture usage focuses mainly on zonal recognition of information - what I would call structured forms processing. Forms Recognition is for information capture from semi-structured documents - say invoices, where you know that many fields are present, but their location differs from example to example. It can use patterns, text locators, etc to find the field. Both benenfit when there exists a reference DB of acceptable values, but that is not a requirement.
Lexical correction (as I understand it to mean) is not a feature of either. They are not going to try to validate extracted tokens based upon language analysis. I would try to use them to extract all of the tokens and then add some tool to do lexical analysis. You could do that as a separate, post OCR process, or try to see if you can fit it into an FR post-extraction EP.
Might I ask what the business problem you are trying to solve is?

Webcenter content presenter

hello,
we using webcenter ps3.
we want Admin to go to admin screen and be able to create "metadata" and "content" in webcenter content 11g via content presenter.
we are not using site studio. we want to create this via content presenter. what are our best options ?
thanks

What do you want to do with the content that need to be shown by the CP?
Does it actually need to display the content or is a list, tabular view fine?
You probably want to build a content presenter template and use some RIDC API in it to set the metadata. By default the CP can read all of the meta data provided by UCM but it cannot set it. In order to set it, you need to use RIDC and integrate it into the CP template.
