Webcenter Spaces PS2 - links query

Hi,
Is it possible to link to a document residing in a different group space in PS2?
For example, group space 'A'is a Knowledge Center (KB) and contains lots of docs. Group Space 'B' is a project group space, and Group Space 'B' would like to link to the knowledge base documents rather than uploading duplicate content.
Could someone tell me how or point me to the Oracle guide containing this information.
Many Thanks

This is the right documentation for 11g Release 1 PS2 (11.1.1.3). Till PS2, Oracle did not show the patchset number on their documentation. First time, they introduce it from PS3.
Oracle released limited REST API for few WC Services that includes:-
1. Discussion Service (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_jive.htm#CHDGJECD)
2. People Connection Service includes activity stream, connections, message borad, profile and feedback (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_people.htm#BABBBJCE)
3. Spaces Service (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_spaces.htm#BABIBFCJ)

Kevin,
You can achieve this using the URL link type, by linking to the remote document. You cannot "browse" the content repository to locate the link target of the other Spaces instance.

WebCenter Spaces (PS2) - Surfacing User Profile Attributes

I'm a relative 'newbie' to WebCenter Spaces. We have PS2 (Bundle 3) installed, configured and running. I believe I have thoroughly examined the WebCenter Spaces 11g User Guide and tried various EL techniques to no avail, but I cannot determine if and how to surface the attributes contained in a user's profile. For example, can I put a user's profile photo on a group space page using the Image Layout Component? Can I surface a user's email address in a group space page using the Text Layout Component. I see that these attributes for example are used in various OOTB task flows, but I'm wondering if and how they can be used dynamically in other components specified at design in Composer.
Hope this makes sense. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

Hi,
I am not quite sure if this is what you want by I managed to expose the user's email by:
*1)* Entering composer mode for a page
*2)* Clicking "Add Content"
*3)* Searching for and adding a "HTML Markup" component
*4)* Clicking the "Edit" (spanner) icon for the HTML Markup component
*5)* Entering the following for the "Value" field:
+#{webCenterProfile[securityContext.userName].businessEmail}+
I hope this helps
EDIT: The way I found this was by clicking the little 'down carrot' next to any field on the edit menu of a component, then selecting "Expresion Builder". From the subsequent popup, you can choose "User Info" from the "Choose a value" drop down, then select the relevant user property in the second drop down, this will populate the text field underneath with the appropriate EL expression

WebCenter Spaces Extensions - Problems creating custom header

Hi,
I'm looking for a way of branding the WebCenter Spaces application so that (among others) I can place my own html fragment above the Primary Tab to render a header and hide out-of-the-box global tool bar, secondary tabs and and the side bar. As far as I understood from the "Extending WebCenter Spaces" document (Link: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/pdf/owcs_r11_extend_spaces_wp.pdf]) I should be able to do this by creating my own custom shell.
I have taken the gsDefault shell provided within the extendwebcenterspaces.zip file and I got to remove the unwanted bars. Unfortunately I could not get to add my own html fragment for the header. What I have done for this purpose is to change this piece of code in the shell-config.xml:
<shellContent id="gsDefault" displayName="#{uib_o_w_w_r_WebCenter.LABEL_SPACE_MAXIMIZED_CHROME}"
pageTemplate="/oracle/webcenter/webcenterapp/view/templates/WebCenterAppShellTemplate.jspx">
with this one:
<shellContent id="gsDefault" displayName="#{uib_o_w_w_r_WebCenter.LABEL_SPACE_MAXIMIZED_CHROME}"
pageTemplate="*/custom*/oracle/webcenter/webcenterapp/view/templates/*Custom*WebCenterAppShellTemplate.jspx">
For making my custom JSPX file I have taken the default one and made the following change:
Where there was:
<f:facet name="top">
<wcshell:panel name="PrimaryTabBar">
<af:region id="wc_prm"
value="#{bindings.shell_PrimaryTabBar.regionModel}"/>
</wcshell:panel>
</f:facet>
I have placed the following code:
<f:facet name="top">
<af:panelStretchLayout id="pt_psl1">

<f:facet name="top">
<af:image source="/ExtendWebCenterSpaces-StaticFiles-context-root/images/Header.jpg"
shortDesc="BB 360 Header"
id="pt_i1"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="center">
<wcshell:panel name="PrimaryTabBar">
<af:region id="wc_prm"
value="#{bindings.shell_PrimaryTabBar.regionModel}"/>
</wcshell:panel>
</f:facet>
</af:panelStretchLayout>
</f:facet>
I have followed the steps indicated in the document for deploying the custom extensions several times (including, adding the extra java parameter, redeploying and restarting). I know the jspx is accessible as when I try to get it directly from a browser I get a response instead of the page not found page.
Is this the rightway fo doing it? Am I missing something? Which steps could I follow to identify the underlying problem?
Thank you very much.

Marcos,
I am trying to create new site template and getting below error for wcshell:panel.
"No grammer available for namespace http://xmlns.oracle.com/webcenter/shell, content of element panel cannot be validated"
Do you know which JSP Tag Libraries i need to add?

How to delete tag and link in webcenter spaces .

After logging into the webcenter spaces i am getting tags and link on the hight hand corner of the page .
Can anyone provide some idea how can i delete or make it invisible .
Thanks ,
Arun.

I'm not quiet sure about about how to fix but i have some ideas in mind... I don't have currently a spaces environment so i can't check...
1) Try disabling the links and tag services. This is done in the group space configuration, service tab. I'm not sure if they are there but if, you can disable them and it should solve your problem.
2) It's also possible that the links and tags section is implemented in the template of the page. In order to modify this, you can create your own template or modify the existing one. There was a nice whitepaper about templates in WCS but it seem to be removed because of the PS3 release.
Are you using 11.1.1.3 or 11.1.1.4.
It would be easier if you are using the latest one but since it has only been released since today...

Query related to installation of Webcenter Spaces

Hi,
I want to install webcenter(PS3). Is it possible to install PS3 with out using Oracle database?
Can any body provide the suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
SEW Support.

no if we want use webcenter or spaces, the schemas should be created before to run the webcenter spaces,
so we need to install database.

Change default text in adf faces component in Webcenter Spaces

Hi ,
Here is the link that I found to change the default text in adf faces component. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/49-skin-component-labels-169191.pdf
Scenario is simple :
Taskflow "ABC" is used in webcenter space through imported Library in spaces App. Taskflow "ABC" have the pageFragment "view1" and fragment has a adf table on that page. I was trying to change the "Detach" text using below code in above provided instruction.
{ "af_panelCollection.LABEL_DETACH_TABLE_DLG", "Any name for the Detachable Table" },
{ "af_panelCollection.LABEL_DETACH_TREE_TABLE_DLG", "Any name for the Detachable Tree Table" }
Query/Problem : I did change in the trinidad-skins.xml of DesignWCSpaces app ... redeployed the war.. But the text didn't changed. The above steps worked fine for individual ADF application ... SO what's wrong with implementation on Webcenter Spaces ?

Hi.
Basically you have to do the following:
Create an ADF JAR Library including your Skin (JS, Images, CSS Skin, Resources Bundles and trinidad-skins.xml)
Deploy the ADF JAR Library as Shared-lib in WebLogic.
Include in your weblogic.xml of the WebCenter Portal (Formerly Spaces) deployment via DesignWebCenterSpaces or the new extension the reference to the shared-lib.
Restart WebCenter Portal (Spaces). When starting WebCenter Portal (Spaces) it looks inside of the Classpath for all trinidad-skins.xml files.
Setup your custom skin for a Space and test.
If the Skin is not selectable in the Administration Console then register your new skin downloading/updating/uploading from the MDS the generic-site-resources.xml file of the default scope GUID.
If you still have issues then may I priorize a Blog entry explaining this .

WebCenter Spaces People Search

Hi !
I want exact name of API in webcenter spaces which provudes name of all people who are registered in spaces.
when we want to invite people we clicks tab for search in spaces and it gives list of all the names.
we also have taskflow/API for profile search in webcneter but as developer i want to know what are those api and where do I find them.
what all function can be performend for search of people in spaces

Hi,
I have been playing around with user information lately as well and user information is not completely stored within a Spaces but through Oracle Identity Store. It will depend on you specific environment configuration but youcould query against your LDAP.
Here you have a link that was helpful for me:
From Oracle® Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebCenter:
4.8 Configuring an External LDAP-Based Identity Store
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/install.1111/e12001/webcenterservice_install.htm#BABIDAFG
from there browse to the Identity Store configuration and I think you'll find the information you need.

How to display applications in tabs on a single page in webcenter spaces

Hi,
I am working on a project in Webcenter spaces where we have a welcome page with few hyperlinks on a bar in the top section .Each hyperlink is associated with an application url. The requirement is when a user clicks on any link, it should populate a tab in the page displaying the application.
For ex, if we have the links on the top as "google", "yahoo", "bing", etc, clicking on each one of them, should open tabs below displaying the respective home page. It should not open the application in a new browser but a tab in the same page. Also, the tabs are just page fragments (.jsff). As user clicks more links, more tabs are opened ( if that application is already not open).
In short, we are replacing opening of a new browser to opening a tab in the same browser ( when clicking an application link).
The issue is - how do I get the content of a website (or an application) into a tab in webcenter spaces dynamically. We tried using Pagelet producer but they need to be predefined. Also, each application url need to contain the session cookie, so user need not login to the application again.
Any alternate strategy to acheive the same result is also welcome.

Not 100%. Although, I did find out that I can use an Inline Frame layout component which can take a url as one of its property. Thus, I can dynamically pass this property and make the layout render the application. Beyond this, the control will be transferred to application and I hope it will work. We are still in the process of playing with the components.

Webcenter Spaces -Datacontrol to take dynamic bindparameters from taskflow

Hi,
I am trying to create a databound page in WebCenter Spaces. The scenario is :
1. A user logs in with user-id and password.
2. Once authenticated, the user-id is used to get the applicaitons that user can see, from the database.
3. Using the application records(from the datbase table), a set of tabs (each representing an application is created) on the welcome page.
4. When the user clicks on the tab, the related application url is used to load the application page on the tab.
The issue I have is - Once the user-id is verified, I could not figure out how to pass the user-id into a task flow which has a data-control ( query to get application records). This is because when I created the datacontrol with bind parameters, it did not allow me to save the datacontrol without hardcoding the bind parameter. So, the datacontrol always runs on one user-id hard coded during its creation. Any help/suggestion/guidance is greatly appreciated.

Why not use following expression:
#{securityContext.userName}
This will retun the username.

File download from a portletized ADF app running in webcenter spaces.

Hi,
I am having trouble downloading non static files from a portletized(with ADFPortletBridge) ADF application running as a portlet producer in Webcenter spaces .
This is my scenario :
Jdev : 11.1.1.3
Webcenter : 11.1.1
The ADF app has a query page, that uses the af:query component to do a query and display results on a table. This table data need to be exported as a file with some changes like splitting address to component city and state columns .
The ADF app makes use of af:filedownloadlistener to get this(HTML formatted file with an .xls ext is our current preference to get it to open in excel, but could be anything) done . The ADF app works just fine, but as section 30.2.5.5 in the web center dev guide points out http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_bridge.htm#CACBHDEF
> The <af.fileDownloadActionListener> component is not supported.
The actual behavior however is that the export happens when triggered, but the component keep serving up the same file it created the first time it got invoked every subsequent time. The same file is served even across sessions.
The alternatives I've considered so far are :
1. <af:exportCollectionActionListener> - Exports what you see on the UI table. Would not work for us, because our exported data is different than whats on screen. (eg: whole addresses are displayed as a single column, but broken down as component city and state columns in exported data )
UPDATE : <af:exportCollectionActionListener> exhibits the same behavior as <af.fileDownloadActionListener> in a portlet environment. The first time after deployment it works, and every subsequent time (across sessions) it serves up the same file it first generated.
2. redirect to a servlet - admittedly half baked idea - fiire an action that will generate the report, then put it in sessionScope , redirect to a servlet that would pick up the report from session and stream it to the user by setting the servlet's response content type. Very unsure if this would fly in a portlet environment (sorry, I'm new to portlets) and even if it does, section 30.2.5.2 in the web center dev guide says :
Do not redirect or forward a request within your JSP. JSR 168 only supports requestDispatcher.include(). The use of httpServletResponse.sendRedirect() or requestDispatcher.forward() results in exceptions and errors. Am I overlooking some feature that would let me do this or whats the recommended method to achieve this functionality of exporting a file generated at run-time in a portlet environment ?

How do I add a Filter to the Spaces switcher within webcenter spaces??

Hi Experts,
We are on Webcenter Spaces PS3(11.1.1.4)
We urgently need assistance with the following:
1. The client needs a filter that will show only the collaborations spaces to which the user belongs to whenever they click on the Spaces switcher link on the global toolbar.
Regards,

You will need to write code of your own. A good starting point is here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/apirefs.1111/e15995/toc.htm (search for the class SpacesManager, method getUserSpacesNamesList)
Note that most likely you will not want to display all spaces, unless you are absolutely sure that the list will not exceed some reasonable amount in all cases - otherwise, it might be quite user-unfriendly.

Problem integrating BPM Process Spaces with Webcenter Spaces PS5

Good Day!
I have currently installed a fresh build of Webcenter 11.1.1.6 stack in a single domain which contains:
1.)     UCM
2.)     Spaces
3.)     SOA with BPM
After configuring process-portal-install.properties, I have run the ant –f install.xml command which will integrate Process Spaces into Webcenter Spaces.
The problem currently I am facing is that after seeing the process spaces link in Webcenter Spaces, I am also being redirected to internal problem and seeing the logs, I have something like:

I would like to ask if there is a support link or solution to this problem I am facing such that I may able to see BPM Process Spaces in Webcenter Spaces.

Hi Jeff,
Its looking that BPM was not correctly configured for some reason, exact root cause could not be pinpointed. You can try following two things:-
1. Run the following ant command and restart the Admin and managed servers
ant -f install.xml post-install -DpiArgs -importGSOnly
2. If Oracle BPM and WebCenter have been configured in different domains, configure Trusted Domain Credentials in both the Oracle BPM and WebCenter domains.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/e13707/domain.htm#SECMG404
If issue is still there, you can open the SR with Oracle and also have a look on following bug that is released on 24-May-2012.

How to add Content workflow to Webcenter spaces/ custom application

I would like to add Content work-flows ( Add - review - publish of content) to Webcenter spaces.so that users of Spaces/ application can work with add- publish-review cycle. I want to know if any thing like portlet or something available that can be added.
I have a webcenter 11g associated with OCS 10.1.3. Does the suites Content Portlet Suite/Content Integration Suite contain these workflows? Please help me in this regard thanks.
Thanks,
indra.

Yes. it is the same way. once the Portletsuite is integrated you can create a workflow in Oracle conent server using Workflow Manager Applet. Extenal Identity store needs to be configured.
But I have some problem with webcenter spaces users on external Ldap server. In contribution checkout step ,I am not getting the checkout link. i am getting exception like "not suffient privilage".
But the workflow seems to work fine in idc application.
Unable to get schema fields. User 'auser' does not have sufficient privileges

I created Users in webspaces using Own Registration feature. User gets created on Ldap server. And I am able to log on to the content server. If anybody happend to know more on this ,please reply.
