Webcenter Sites Vs Webcenter Portal+Webcenter Content

Hi everyone,
A question for all those multifaceted webcenter experts out there!
What is it that, Webcenter Sites does & Webcenter Portal + Webcenter Content couldn't do?
If both can be equivalent solutions, then why acquisition of FatWire?
Thanks in advance!
~S

I wouldn't say it is a question of what, but how - some people find Sites more appealing than Portal, or Content's WCM (Site Studio). It's worth to add that Portal has most likely richer features than Sites, but if you want to build B2C internet, Sites seems (and are told) to be a better choice.
To your question about the acquisition, other reasons could be:
- ATG; Oracle had acquired ATG some months before Fatwire, which was the front-end technology for many ATG customers
- customer base
- etc.

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

     Oracle_ECM1

     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 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."+

Not able to Install Webcenter site 11g R1 (11.1.1.6.0) in my local PC

1. I downloaded hsqldb 2.2.8 and set up the database, the connection properties are
     TYPE      :     HSQL Database Engine In-Memory
     Driver     :     org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver
     URL     :     jdbc:hsqldb:mem:.
     USER     :     SA
     Password:
2. I started the database server and created a sample table 'emp'.
3. Downloaded tomcat 6.0.35 and in context.xml i did the below entry to make the hsqldb connection, and copies hsqldb.jar into lib folder of Tomcat
     <Resource auth="Container" defaultTransactionIsolation="READ_UNCOMMITTED" description="Tomcat Connection Pool" driverClassName="org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver" initialSize="1" maxActive="100" maxWait="7500" name="csDataSource" password="" scope="Shareable" type="javax.sql.DataSource" url="jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/" username="SA"/>
4. In catalina.properties i setup the classpath for cas.properties or else the tomcat throwing the error saying not able to identify cas.properties.
The entry is given below
shared.loader=C:/Sri/installables/fatwire/bin
5. From oracle i downloaded ofm_sites_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1.zip i extracted all the content
6. To install the webcenter site content server, i clicked csInstall.bat under C:\Sri\FatWire\ContentServer
7. It started and installing the server upto 70% then a dialog box pop up with the following message
          Do not click OK until you have completed all of the following steps:
          1. If your platform requires you to manually deploy the Oracle
          WebCenter Sites application, deploy Oracle WebCenter Sites now. Otherwise,
          continue with step 2.
          2. If you wish to customize your Oracle WebCenter Sites installation
          and require access to Oracle WebCenter Sites's property files,
          click the Property Editor button.
          3. Restart your application server.
          4. Click Test to test your installation and make sure all tests
          are successful.
          5. If the tests are successful, click OK.
8. Then when i click Test button, i got the following messages
     The status is an follows :
          HelloCS has failed
          Ping DB has failed
          DB Permissions has failed
9. In the log file install_log under <fatwire_instll_dir>/ominstallinfo, i saw the following entries

Hi Tony,
I don't have mac o/s so am using Windows XP. I tried to open "Download the scripts and instructions here" from your blog but
it is opening a new window in the browser with some gybrish characters.
Here is what i did, as i explained it in my earlier post, now also i am facing the
same issue while setting up the server in GUI mode but in the log file it is showing
different exception now compare to the earlier one. I will explain the step by step approach of mine
1. start the Hsqldb2.2.8 in webserver mode (will the latest version cause any issue here?)
2. started the tomcat 6.0.35
3. As explained it in oracle site document for "installing webcenter sites in Tomcat" i did
the below changes
1. i downloaded the installation zip file and extracted it in my local m/c. Note:
this is not my installation folder.
2. then i went to cs-cache.xml,linked-cache.xml, ss-cache.xml and cas-cache.xml and
maintain the unique entries for multicastGroupAddress, multicasegroupport and timeToLive.
[I did the modification in the extracted folder thinking that it will get copied while
doing the installation, and my assumption is correct in the tomcat while deploying later i
saw all my entries in corresponding files ]
3. In jbossTicketCacheReplicationConfig.xml i modified mcast_addr="239.255.0.0" and
mcast_port as 4447
4. Then i started installing the content server, i gave the host name and port "localhost"
and "8080" wherever it is asking.
5. i clickec express installation instead of Custom settings
6. After installing it fro 73% again i got the same issue
7. When i was going through all the issues logs i found below issues.
a) it was not able to identify cache bean reference inside ticketRegistry.xml so i
commented out JBossCacheTicketRegistry and started using DefaultTicketRegistry in ticketRegistry.xml

     <bean id="ticketRegistry" class="org.jasig.cas.ticket.registry.DefaultTicketRegistry"
          />
     
Again i restarted the Tomcat server.....
b) In sites.log file i notice an exception
          org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'ssolistener' defined in class path resource [SSOConfig.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

Webcenter Sites 11g: Mobility server installation issue!!

Hi ,
I am trying to setup Webcenter Sites Mobility Server standalone ( Webcenter Sites CS and CAS up and running).
I am facing some issue, trying to setup the same. Can anyone pls. help me on the same?
I am getting the folloing error in the apache log -
File does not exist: /opt/MS/msadmin/web/adminpanel/allProperties, referer: http://admin.ms1.coedomain.com:8001/
The default properties are not getting populated on the MSADMIN UI.
It says "Loading..." but never loads.
I can see them in the database but not getting populated on the msadmin UI.
The mapper url http://admin.ms1.coedomain.com:8001/mapper is also throwing 404 error.
I can see the modules present under "/var/www/html/mobilityserver/apps/frontend/modules".
Can anyone pls. let me know that apart from the installation steps mentioned in the Installation guide did I need to do anything else ?
Please help. I am stuck on this for sometime!!
Thanks

Hi,
Yes I have followed the same document.

I can see the errors in the log as "File does not exist: /opt/MS/msadmin/web/adminpanel/allProperties, referer: http://admin.ms1.coedomain.com:8001/"
Do you have any file named "allProperties" under "adminpanel " directory?
Probably because of this its not able to load the properties.

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.

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 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
Take a look also at this one: Re: WebcenterSites Vs WebcenterPortal

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.

WebCenter Sites Documentation

Hi,
Is anyone please able to provide or point me to Fatwire/WebCenter Sites documentation?
Oracle don't seem to be providing any anywhere and the Fatwire support site requests contact and training information to register which I don't have.
I'm trying to get a handle on the product technically for evaluation purposes... so I'm looking for installation and developer doco.
Thanks,
Darren

In general, all Oracle docs are found at http://docs.oracle.com
The WebCenter tech portal is at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/suite/overview/index.html but that does not dig into Sites tech
The WebCenter Sites business portal is at http://www.oracle.com/us/products/middleware/webcenter/sites/overview/index.html but that has no curent tech information
So apparently the FatWire integration is still ongoing. WHich means the best place to get information might be from Oracle Support, or from the net.
You might want to search under FatWire - the best resource I've found soi far is http://jboye.com/blogpost/everything-you-need-to-know-about-fatwire-content-server/

Automation Testing on Webcenter Sites

Hello,
How do I automate content creation using any automated test tool?
Thanks,
Sushanth

This question can be approached from two perspectives:
- is your task to create automated tests, or
- is your task to automate content creation?
If the former, there is a number of tools (both commercial and open source) which can automate test scenarios on web-based applications. Oracle has one too, called Oracle Application Testing Suite.
If the latter, there might be better means than generic testing tools. Take a look at this article: http://manifesto.co.uk/using-webcenter-sites-rest-api-part-1/?goback=.gde_142076_member_5809268750695821313#!
which describes REST API. Also, if you use WebCenter Content as you content repository, you could use Batch Loader, or RIDC interface.

How to install webcenter sites 11.1.1.6 or 11.1.1.8 in cluster configuration and delivery mode?

I am trying to install webcenter sites 11.1.1.6 using cluster configuration and in delivery mode but its not getting installed properly.
Can anyone please share on the steps to follow while installing webcenter sites in delivery environment?

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."+

WebCenter Sites and UCM integration

Hi,
Can any one help me to integrate WebCenter Sites with UCM.

There are a number of approaches to doing this, and it totally depends on the version of UCM you're using (and the version of Sites too for that matter). Have a look at this presentation that Bex Huff and I gave at Collaborate last year.

Integrating InDesign with WebCenter Sites

We are looking at implementing WebCenter Sites but need a print component as well. Has anyone intergrated InDesign with OWS? We want OWS to be the central place for all content. Most of that content is served for the Web, but some of it needs to be served for print.
Thanks.

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 .
