WebCenter Content & Reporting

Hi all,
This is in reference to content reporting/auditing. Are people still using Content Tracker as a reporting engine? Or has this layer been moved up in the tree?
We don't have a Portal/Spaces site, so I assume using WebCenter Analytics is out of the question.
But can general auditing information be extracted elsewhere in the application stack?
Appreciate any info!
Con

Hi ,
Content Tracker is still the component that is used for reporting / tracking purpose .
This component is by default installed on UCM server but in Disabled status . You will need to Enable it , restart UCM server and then able to use it .
Thanks

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
HTH..

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"

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.

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.

Integrating BPM with WebCenter Content

To integrate UCM and BPM, I followed this tutorial written by J@n van Zoggel.
At the moment, I've already set up everything exactly as instructed in the tutorial. However, when I viewed a task in BPM Workspace, I still cannot see the Attachment section. In the log, I saw the following error:
Ensure that credential store map WF-ADMIN-USER with key WF-ADMIN-CREDENTIAL
contains UCM server admin username/password. Also ensure that Workflow configuration parameter
UcmIdcUrl contains IDC socket connection url to connect to UCM server and UCM server has permission
to let SOA server connect to it using IDC protocol.
access denied ("oracle.security.jps.service.credstore.CredentialAccessPermission" "context=SYSTEM,mapName=WF-ADMIN-USER,keyName=WF-ADMIN-CREDENTIAL" "read")]]
One thing I'd like to ask is that in all tutorials or articles I've read, the authors are always testing in the environment in which both the UCM and BPM servers are on the same machine. In my case, I am trying to connect my local BPM server with the online WebCenter Content server of my company, I wonder if I have to make any additional settings for this to work. A few pictures of my current settings are shown below.
I'd be very grateful if you could share with me your experience in integrating BPM and UCM.
Best regards,
James Tran
P/S: My environment is SOA Suite 11.1.1.7 and WebCenter 11.1.1.7
1. UcmIdcUrl setting:
2. WF-ADMIN-USER key map:
3. WebCenter Content IP Filter:

I don't believe that noone has ever tried to connect the local BPM environment to a remote WCC server before. Please let me know if you've ever experienced the same problem. Otherwise, even a simple "I tried to do the samething and I succeeded using the same steps in the tutorial" would help too .
Another thing is that yesterday, I talked to the tech-lead and I learned that our WCC server environment doesn't have BPM installed yet. I am wondering if this would cause the WCC server to not understand the request from my BPM server. In addtion, I've also upgraded my local BPM server using the lastest SOA bundled patch. Should the same patch be applied to the WCC server environment too?
I'd be very grateful for any advice .

Workspace Contents Report not working

- Navigate to https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/BOLAdmin.html
- Select Workspace Contents Report
- A new window pops up with only the header line of the report

Hi,
I have just tried it and got a report with all the contents as expected.
We have had a problem with the database server that we have just cleared which may have slowed the system down and caused the report to fail - Try again and see if it works .
I will check the logs to see if there is another issue.

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,

Web content reporting User information

HI Guys,
We have been using the web content reporting tool for a while now. We however want to have information about WHO logged on.
If I look into the databse I can see a hashed userid is logged. Has anyone allready tried to get this information into the reports? (
Does anyone has an idea to unhash this userid, or maybe better DO not hash it at all?
Thanks
Joachim

It seems I am blond. I somehow missed the parameters in the application descriptor. It now seems to be writing the logon id(unhashed) in te logonid field.
Hopefully it will appear in the standard reports.....

Cannot find api to implement RIDC connect WebCenter Content Server over SSL

Hi WebCenter Content team,
I find the following sample code from http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10807/c23_ridc.htm#BJFIHEHI
Example 23-6 IDC Protocol over SSL
+// build a secure IDC client as cast to specific type+
IntradocClient idcClient = (IntradocClient)
manager.createClient("idcs://localhost:4443");
+// set the SSL socket options+
config.setKeystoreFile("ketstore/client_keystore"); //location of keystore file
config.setKeystorePassword ("password"); // keystore password
config.setKeystoreAlias("SecureClient"); //keystore alias
config.setKeystoreAliasPassword("password"); //password for keystore alias
I downloaded RIDC package from Individual Component Downloads in http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/content/downloads/index.html.
But cannot find the above methods in IdcClientConfig and its subclasses. For example, cannot compile the following code.
IdcClientConfig config = idcClient.getConfig();
config.setKeystoreFile("ketstore/client_keystore"); // no such method
Could you please give a correct example.
Thanks a lot.

Most likely the port. RIDC listens usually at 4444, 16200 is the port for browser-based communication.

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!

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.

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

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 ,
