WebCenter Portal and WebCenter Sites Integration

We have a client requirement where we need to provide Web Content Management and Portal Solution in Oracle WebCenter product stack.
Contents, Templates and other Content Assets will be created and managed in WebCenter Sites, WebCenter Portal will be used for content delivery (Display content to end user). There is another requirement of content editing from WebCenter Portal; where a set of users will have the right to editing content present in WebCenter Sites.
Is there any available solution for integrating WebCenter Sites and WebCenter Portal to fulfill above requirements?

The best available info is in this thread: Integrating webcenter sites content in to Webcenter portal

WebCenter Portal and Portlet support in JDeveloper 11.1.2 version

Hi,
When the WebCenter Portal and Portlet application creation will be available within JDeveloper 11.1.2 version ?
Thanks
Eli

Thanks for your answer.
My Requirements are:
1) Develope a stand alone ADF FACES(JSF 2.0) application
2) Develope a Portal using webcenter- We need to implement portlets by taking some of the functonality that was implemented in section (1) and use the Portlet-JSF bridge to create the portlets.
Basically, we need to support JSF 2.0 standart.
As I understood I must use the JDeveloper 11.1.2 version as it support the JSF 2.0. but what about the Webcenter and the Portlet-JSF bridge to support JSF 2.0 ?
I will be happy to get a clarification for those requirments.
Thanks a lot !

Webcenter Portal and UCM - Content Presenter Error

Hello,
I get an error while I'm adding a Content Presenter over the default resource catalog of my webcenter portal application and try to create content.
When pressing the create content button a new browserpage opens and after beeing logged in to the Content Server the cs/resources/wcm/custom/sitestudio/contentwizard/webcenter/contentwizard.hcsp is called and this error message appears as an alert:
"*this placeholder is restricted, but no region definitions have been specified*"
Thanks for any advice!

Looks like the configuration of UCM (SSXA) is not completed in your system. Take a look at this manual http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e13650/toc.htm to understand the relationship between region definitions and placeholders. Note that Content Presenter is just a client here (it's a matter of WebCenter Content configuration).

Oracle Webcenter Portal and UCM Problem

hi, I'm using both applications but it seems UCM always ask authentication before viewing the checked in files to webcenter portal.
How can I view the files checked in to UCM through webcenter without UCM authentication??????????I set the files security to public.
Thanks

How to integrate oracle webcenter with oracle webcenter Sites?

How to integrate oracle webcenter with oracle webcenter Sites?

This very much depends on what you mean by the first "oracle webcenter" and what kind of integration you are looking for.
Oracle WebCenter contains three main product lines:
- Oracle WebCenter Portal,
- Oracle WebCenter Sites,
- and Oracle WebCenter Content.
Since the newest version 11.1.1.8 it is possible to store Sites' assets in WebCenter Content.
WebCenter Portal, where the name WebCenter originated from, is another front-end technology, so it would rather co-exist next to Sites than integrate with them. See this thread WebCenter Portal and WebCenter Sites Integration for more details.

Please change "WebCenter Portal - Interaction" to "WebCenter Interaction"

Could you please change the name of the forum titled "WebCenter Portal - Interaction" to "WebCenter Interaction"?
The amount of posts in this forum related to "WebCenter Portal" (a different product) has increased dramatically recently and are lessening the value of the discussion board.
WebCenter Portal and WebCenter Interaction are completely different products which have absolutely nothing in common other than similar names.
OTN discussions on one product share no commonality with the other.
Thanks,
Geoff Garcia

Awesome! Thanks so much!!!

Difference between webcenter sites & webcenter portal?

Currently I am working on one website where we have used Oracle weblogic Content management which used to show all the content on the website.& now we are planing to use Oracle webcenter content management in our application but I am confuse about which product of webcenter we should use out of below 3 for rapid developement:
1. webcenter Portal
2. Webcenter Spaces
3. Webcenter sites
Please help.

The two are very different products.
WebCenter Portal is for Enterprise portals, where you want to ingrate content and information (as portlets or taskflows) from other systems, web services etc.
You can use WebCenter Portal: Spaces if you want to offer an environment within your portal where users can collaborate, form communities, work together etc.
Integration with Oracle WebCenter Content is a strong point of WebCenter Portal.
WebCenter Sites on the other hand is primarily for commercial, customer-facing web sites.
So it really depends on what your requirements are. Rapid development is nice, but you should make sure you use the right tool for the right job.

WebCenter Sites (11.1.1.6) install alongside WebCenter Portal (11.1.1.6)

I'm looking for some recommendations for installing WebCenter Sites (11.1.1.6) on a development server which currently has WebCenter Portal (and Spaces), WebCenter Content (UCM/ECM) and WebTier installed.
For WebCenter Content and WebCenter Portal I followed the standard instructions and have been able to successfully start them in the Enterprise Manager, and login to the provided Spaces application.
Environment
Oracle Linux 6 (64bit)
Oracle XE 11.2.0-1
WebLogic 10.3.6
Oracle (Sun) JDK 1.6.0_23
Installed Products
WebCenter Portal 11.1.1.6
Content 11.1.1.6
WebTier 11.1.1.6
RCU 11.1.1.6
Middleware Home Files
ls /app/Middleware
     coherence_3.7
     domain-registry.xml
     logs
     modules
     ocm.rsp
     oracle_common
     Oracle_ECM1
     Oracle_WC1
     Oracle_WT1
     user_projects
     utils
     wlserver_10.3
Webcenter domain:
/app/Middleware/user_projects/domains/webcenter_domain
WebCenter Sites installation
The instructions (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29495_01/index.htm) for "Installing on Oracle WebLogic Application Server" say to run "<wl_home>/wlserver_10.x/common/bin/config.sh" to create a new domain.
However as this machine already has Portal, Spaces and UCM installed under a domain called 'webcenter_domain'. My question is: How can I add WebCenter Sites into the existing webcenter domain, if that is the recommended way?
If it's better to create a new separate domain such as 'sites_domain', then how can both webcenter_domain and sites_domain be run alongside each other? This might be more of a WebLogic configuration question, I'm not sure.
I'm looking for what the best practice recommendation is for running these parts of WebCenter together on the same machine.
The WebCenter Sites install wizard settings I was going to use are below, if this is useful. The part I'm unsure about is astrixed:
_./csInstall_
- Installation Directory:     /app/Middleware/Oracle_WCS1
- Development type
- Install mode: custom
- Avisport sample (check)
- FirstSite II Sample site modules: (all)
- Single server
- Sites System Admin account: -
- Sites Application Admin account: -
- Satellite Server account: -
- Sites Shared Files System: /app/Middleware/Oracle_WCS1/Shared
- Host name: webcenterserver
- Port of Application Server: 7001
- Platform Type: Application Server Platform
- Application Server: Weblogic
- Site Application Deployment: 1
Path: /app/Middleware/wlserver_10.3
Application Context root: /cs
- Sites Application Deployment: 2
** Weblogic domain name: sites_domain / webcenter_domain
** Sites application name: CS
** Manual Deployment dir: /app/Middleware/Oracle_WCS1/domains
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The recommendation from the Oracle WebCenter & ADF Architecture Team is to keep the parts decoupled, installing WebCenter Sites on a separate machine. Otherwise it would be leading towards a 'Type 3' integration. Specifically looking at the proof-of-concept application 'Spark', which requires WebCenter Sites and WebCenter Portal installed on the same machine:
+"Due to this co-deployment requirement, most clients have avoided installing or using Spark. And not without reason: installing two big, complex applications on the same environment is problematic with regards to scalability and tuning."+

Licenses for WebCenter Suit and WebLogic

Good day! I need help. I understand that, in addition to the license for WebCenter Suit, I need to also purchase a license for WebLogic. Is that if I need 4 licenses for WebCenter, it is necessary and 4 licenses WebLogic?
Thank you in advance for your reply!

This answer is actually not so easy - it depends what license do you actually refer to.
The current Oracle price list contains two SKUs that could apply:
- WebCenter Portal (WCP), formerly (about a year ago) called WebCenter Suite,
- and WebCenter Suite Plus (WCSP), which consists of WCP, WebCenter Content, and WebCenter Sites
WCP requires a license of Weblogic (to be precise: Weblogic Server Enterprise Edition) as a mandatory pre-requisite. And yes, the number of WLS corresponds to the number of WCP.
WCSP, on the other hand, is not that clear - the document Oracle Technology Global Price List Supplement does not mention WLS as a pre-requisite, but neither it mentions that WLS is included in the license in the restricted mode. In fact, two of suite products, namely, WCC and WCS won't need the WLS license (for WCC it is included in the restricted mode, and WCS might not need it at all).
Therefore, if you have WCSP rather than WCP I'd suggest to cross-check you needs with your local Oracle sales rep.

How to read xml file present in the UCMS from webcenter portal application

Hi,
I'm new to webcenter portal and would like to know how to read an xml file which is present in UCMS 11g(contributors folder) from webcenter portal application.
Thanks in advance

I guess I had mentioned that I want to read it via my webcenter portal app rather than login to ucms and searching it via url.
I want text labels and button names being stored in the xml file which I'm going to keep in the UCMS.
After reading that from the xml will be placed at appropriate locations like the button values and label feilds, so that we dont need to deploy entire app for this kind of simple changes.
Now can anyone provide some help with the api's related to this?

Oracle WebCenter Portal query

Now I have 3 tabs: Home, Staff and Student. When I expand Home tab, there are Home and Documents. When I expand Staff tab and Student tab, there is Home. Now I want to add something calls “Files” in Staff tab, how do I do it? So when I expand Staff tab, there are Home and Files. I am using Oracle WebCenter Portal and creating portal.

Video in WebCenter Portal: Spaces

Has anyone got experience with video in a WebCenter Portal (and Spaces in particular?).
I'm looking for a way to allow users to upload videos and share them with other users. A bit like Facebook, which people are getting used to nowadays.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Yes, streaming video would be quite difficult.
There is an older blog on the subject: http://contentoncontentmanagement.com/2008/03/ucmtube-converting-and-streaming-flv-files-with-oracle-ucm/
The only option I've thought of would be something like supplying a link and then creating a taskflow which embeds that link in the page in a nice player (or simply Youtube). Similar to what you are describing.
I just wish there would be more options to do this - people are spoiled by Facebook nowadays. You upload a video and there it is in your timeline.

Integration of Apache Solr* and Webcenter Sites.

Hi ,
I am new to Apache Solr and Webcenter Sites . could you please guide us how to integrate both of them using SolrJ . please provide us the best ways for integrating them .
Thank you,
Sashank P

Hi Sashank,
In short you would need to customize WebCenter Sites.
You would need to include Apache Solr Client libraries into lib directory of you sites installation and call it withing the jsp template.

Webcenter Portal integration with ATG

Are there any webcenter portal implementation where the ATG storefront features have been been exposed through the webcenter Portal. Are there any plugins or interfaces to enable the integration between portal & ATG.

Hi Sameer -
OOTB you can publish assets directly to disk using Export to XML, but you realize that by doing that, you're essentially using Sites as a very expensive GUI over a database. By using a combination of Java classes and JSPs you can create very rich markup (or XML, or JSON, or whatever you like) and render that, then export that data to disk. That way you can traverse asset relationships and write much more complex data to disk for consumption by external systems.
As for your options of #1 vs #2, you need to think carefully about what your goals are for using Sites and for using ATG. There are a number of other integration options between Sites and ATG, including the reverse of #1, which is to have Sites render most pages and then consume data from ATG in service form. There is also the efficient and decoupled approach of standing up ATG and Sites side-by-side and selectively integrating components together. So Sites would drive marketing content and ATG would drive commerce content, and the two would leverage service APIs between the two when needed (for example, to render an ATG promo in Sites, or to render a detailed product description from Sites in ATG).
Each approach has pros and cons and there is no Correct Way To Integrate ATG and Sites, but there are, as you can see, several common patterns.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Tony Field

Can we use WebCenter Sites content store in WebCenter Portal

Hi,
Can we use WebCenter Sites Content Store as the default content store in WebCenter Portal?
I need to create website in WebCenter Sites, all the content will be stored in Sites Content Store. I also need to integrate WebCenter Portal with Sites content store to fetch contents from the store and display it in Portal. I do not wish to purchase WebCenter Content.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Syed Rehan Shah

Well , as suggested by jiri machotka, you can go for version 11.1.1.8.0 version with proper license.
However,if you are using earlier versions than I must say that-
It's going to be very very complex and cumbersome development process al-together . (at least for me) .Because why I am telling this is -
The content repository structure of (webcenter site's CA server )is completely different from UCM (webcenter content server and preferred cms for portal).
In previous threads ,lot of things are being discussed about this issue.
In my opinion,you can very well integrate sites content to portal pages via REST API. Documentation is available.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29495_01/doc.1111/webcenter_sites_11gr1_wem_rest_api_resource_ref.pdf
Apart from it, you can also do -
1. Gadgets - You can consume Gadgets from WebCenter Portal, some examples with Google Gadgets are available in OTN.
2. Widgets - You can build HMTL + Javascript widgets with Sites and embed in WebCenter Portal pages.
Hope this info helps you out.

Hoque
