Oracle OID Users | Not shown in Jive forum admin console

OID is integrated with Oracle Webcenter 11g through a provider & integrated with Jive Forums

(WC_Collaboration managed server)

A WebCenter Spaces announcement task flow is being used in a custom portal application.

When creating groups & users in OID through the custom application from Webcenter Spaces, those users are able to login to the Portal.

But announcements are not shown in Portal.

For announcements to be shown on Portal the users need to be manually added in the Jive

Forums Admin console.

Is it possible, once the users are created in OID, for those users to be automatically added in

Jive Forums, so that when the user logs in to Portal they are able to see the announcements in

Portal?

I am trying to customize the Login Page of Webcenter Spaces as per the customer requirement, but there is a default header with Oracle logo and lebel which I need to remove, but there is no option to customize this header. I can copy and modify the webcenter spaces public page template but there is no option to configure new page template for login page. Need urgent help on this

.

Hi,

Here is the steps to change the Oracle Logo.

1. Login to Webcenter Spaces an admin user (weblogic)

2. Click the Administration Link

3. Click the Configuration Tab

4. Under Global Settings notice the selected Oracle Logo.

5. Click the Browse Button to Navigate to the logo of your choice.

The changes should be immediate.

I followed the steps as told by you, I can change the logo image but i am not able to change the lebel "WebCenter". I have attached the screenshot.

I have not found a simple way to do this yet. I do think this is controlled however at the

Page Template Level.

For example I think this needs to be changed to the Webcenter Public Pages Template located at Administration > Resources > Page Templates > WebCenter Public-Page

Template. You need to make a copy of this page and then edit the copy. Somehow we then need to make this the active page for the Weblcome page. I am just not finding where to turn this on at.

Problem Description: tried creating a google gadget portlet using the google gadget embed script in omniportlet. Everything works fine but the gadget is not rendered on the page.

) ### Extra Details ### i registered Omni portlet by portlet producer.

After creating page in web center spaces i add omni portlet on my page.

Customize the omni portlet and add google gadgets code by code but at last i got blank screen.

2) ### Step by step instructions ###

1.Add omni portlet on my web center spaces.

2.Customize the omni portlet.

3.finaly add the google gadget code .

4.Screen becomes blank.

5.I follow the same as given in this link: both on application level and web center spaces level. http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/tech/webcenter/files/owc_r11_google_gadgets.htm

Hi,

Please configure proxy server to webcenter as in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/webcenter.1111/e12405/wcadm_rss.htm

Either via Fusion Middleware console or via WLST.

We have created a new space on webcenter spaces and added the inbuilt & custom task flows on it but when we click on any links/top menus of the custom spaces, it is refereshing sapces header & footer which comes from Oracle UCM.

Please suggest/let us know how we to make header & footer of the portal not to

Refresh on each click.

PFB the usecase & excet scenario.

There is a requirement from our client that in the header region of the custom portal we have to show the logo and advertisement images & in the footer region branding images

& text to be shown.

Header Region - In header region, we have customized logo and a banner image

(screenshot attached) which we have built as a sitestudio template (hcsp).We are calling this template through RIDC API and made this bunch of code as custom task flow.Now added this custom taskflow in the header region of the custom page template and assigned to the custom space in the webcenter portal.

Footer Region - In footer region, we have customized footer logo, sponsor images

(screenshot attached) & cutomized text which we have built as a sitestudio template (hcsp).We are calling this template through RIDC API and made this bunch of code as custom task flow.Now added this custom taskflow in the footer region of the custom page template and assigned to the custom space in the webcenter portal.

Now problem is after login to the portal when we click on any links/top menus in the portal,It's refreshing whole page, we want header & footer region not to be refereshed.

Purpose

Scope and Application

Setting Up and Testing the Announcements and Discussions Service for use with WebCenter Spaces

Applies to:

Oracle WebCenter - Version: 11.1.1.3.0 to 11.1.1.3.0

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Purpose

This document shows an example of how to configure the Announcements and Discussions

Service for use with WebCenter Spaces or Custom WebCenter Applications.

It assumes you already installed and configured WebCenter Domain.

In addition to the Support Note below, you can get additional information here:

Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter

28 Configuring WS-Security for WebCenter Applications and Components

28.1 Configuring WS-Security for a Simple Topology

Scope and Application

This document is intended for WebCenter Administrators that need to Configure WebCenter.

Setting Up and Testing the Announcements and Discussions Service for use with

WebCenter Spaces

Setting up Discussions and Announcement Service requires the following major steps:

1. Securing the connection between WebCenter and Discussions Service using WS-

Security.

This step requires: o Creating the WebCenter Spaces Domain Keystore (webcenter.jks) with a Key

Pair containing a public key and associated private key. o Exporting the certificate (orakey.cer) containing the WebCenter domain public key.

o Creating the Discussions Keystore (owc_discussions.jks) with the WebCenter domain certified public key. o Configure the Discussions Server to use the Keystore.

A keystore is a file that provides information about available public and private keys.

2. Configure WebCenter Spaces for Discussions Service.

This step includes creating a connection to the Discussions Service and securing the connection using the Discussions-Keystore.

Next you will find the detailed steps for this configuration.

Securing the connection between WebCenter and Discussions Service using WS-Security

The following diagram shows how WS-Security is implemented for the Discussions configuration:

Note:

The WebCenter Spaces documentation has an additional step to create another public key with alias webcenter_spaces_ws. This key is used when working with SOA (Worklist Service). So this other public key is not required for the Discussions Service.

To secure the connection between WebCenter and Discussions Service perform the following steps.

1. Create the WebCenter Spaces Domain Keystore (webcenter.jks) with a Key Pair containing a public key and associated private key with alias "orakey". o Connect to the WebCenter Server. o Set the environment.

For example: export MW_HOME=/refresh/oracle/fmw11g export JAVA_HOME=/refresh/oracle/fmw11g/jrockit_160_14_R27.6.5-32 export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Note: The above values might be different in your install. o Go to the directory where you will create the keystores: cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/[webcenter_domain]/config/fmwconfig

For example: cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/wc_domain/config/fmwconfig o Generate a Java keystore certificate with a private key alias "orakey" by running the following command:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -dname "consumer_dname"

-alias orakey -keypass key_password -keystore keystore -storepass keystore_password -validity days_valid

In the above command:

 consumer_dname is the name of the consumer (for example, cn=spaces,dc=example,dc=com)

 key_password is the password for the new public key, (for example, welcome1)

 keystore is the keystore name, (for example, webcenter.jks)

 keystore_password is the keystore password, (for example, welcome1)

 days_valid is the number of days for which the key password is valid (for example, 1064).

For example:

The above command should create the keystore webcenter.jks

file if it doesn't exist and it will add a private key with alias "orakey" . If you already created the webcenter.jks keystore file before then the private key will be added to the existing file.

Note: The domain name (dname) should match your server domain. o Check the keystore webcenter.jks

file was generated properly with the keytool command.

You will be asked for the password you provided when generating the keystore certificate. The output should show the new entry for the " orakey " alias with

Entry type as " PrivateKeyEntry ".

$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -list -v -keystore webcenter.jks

For example:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -list -v -keystore webcenter.jks

Enter keystore password: welcome1

Keystore type: JKS

Keystore provider: SUN

Your keystore contains 1 entry

2. Export the certificate (orakey.cer) containing the WebCenter domain public key.

$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -exportcert -v -alias orakey -keystore keystore -storepass keystore_password -rfc -file orakey.cer

In the above command: o keystore is the keystore name, (for example, webcenter.jks) o keystore_password is the keystore password, (for example, welcome1)

For example:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -exportcert -v -alias orakey -keystore webcenter.jks -storepass welcome1 -rfc -file orakey.cer

4. Configure the Discussions Server to use the Keystore. o Connect to the WebCenter Server.

o Set the environment.

For example: export MW_HOME=/refresh/oracle/fmw11g export JAVA_HOME=/refresh/oracle/fmw11g/jrockit_160_14_R27.6.5-32 export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Note: The above values might be different in your install. o Change to the following directory: cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/[webcenter_domain]/lib

For example: cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/wc_domain/lib o Create a keystore certificate properties file named keystore.properties.

The following example shows properties for a sample certificate: org.apache.ws.security.crypto.provider=org.apache.ws.security.components.cryp

to.Merlin org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.type=jks org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.password=welcome1 org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.alias=df_orakey_public org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.file=/<replace dir path where you run keytool>/owc_discussions.jks

For example: org.apache.ws.security.crypto.provider=org.apache.ws.security.comp

onents.crypto.Merlin org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.type=jks org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.password=welcome1 org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.keystore.alias=df_orakey_publ ic org.apache.ws.security.crypto.merlin.file=/refresh/oracle/fmw11g/u ser_projects/domains/wc_domain/config/fmwconfig/owc_discussions.jk

s

Note: Be sure the keystore.properties file doesn't contain any trailing spaces or special characters on any of the lines. All should be plain text with no trailing spaces.

Tip for Unix systems:

On Unix systems edit the keystore.properties file with "vi" editor.

On each line of the file enter the "$" command. This should take you to the end of the line with the cursor positioned in the last character of the line (if it is after the

last character then you have a trailing space).

It was observed that in some cases when you create the file in other systems like windows and then copy the file to Unix for some reason all carry returns were removed from the file. So ensure you have one "org.apache.ws.security.crypto" value per line and that the "$" command doesn’t go to the end of the file. o Create a jar file containing the keystore.properties using the following command: jar cvf jive_crypto.jar keystore.properties

For example: jar cvf jive_crypto.jar keystore.properties adding: META-INF/ (in=0) (out=0) (stored 0%) adding: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF (in=56) (out=56) (stored 0%) adding: keystore.properties (in=409) (out=173) (deflated 57%)

Total:

------

(in = 453) (out = 563) (deflated -24%)

The above command should create the jive_crypto.jar

file. o Log on to the Oracle WebCenter Discussions admin console.

The URL should look like this: http://server:port/owc_discussions/admin

For example: http://fmw11g.vm.oracle.com:8890/owc_discussions/admin

Login as a user with admin privileges. For example with weblogic user.

o Click "System Properties" in the Oracle WebCenter Discussions admin console. o Change the following property value: webservices.soap.custom.crypto.fileName=keystore.properties

Configure WebCenter Spaces for Discussions Service

1. Create a connection to Oracle WebCenter Discussions. o Login to the Enterprise Manager 11g Fusion Middleware Control.

The URL should look like this: http://server:port/em

For example: http://fmw11g.vm.oracle.com:7001/em o Navigate as follows:

Farm -> WebCenter -> WebCenter Spaces -> webcenter (WLS_Spaces)

o In the Right panel select the following menu option: webcenter -> Settings -> Service Configuration

o Click on the "Discussion and Announcements" Link. o Click Add to create the discussions connection. o Provide the following information:

* Product mode was selected as the domain start up mode at the time of creation of this Note.

After completion of domain creation by the wizard, verify its creation by navigating to

$ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains directory. You will find a new WebCenterDomain directory.

2. Start the Node Manager, if not already started. The assumption here is that you have the Node

Manager installed. If you have not the Node Manager installed, then you will start the Managed

Server (DiscussionServer) using a script in Step 7

[Middleware]$ $ORACLE_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh

3. Start the AdminServer of the newly created "WebCenterDomain" using the username/password specified during its creation:

[Middleware]$

$ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/WebCenterDomain/common/bin/startWebLogic.sh

4. Access the WebLogic Server Administration Console in the browser: http://myHostName:7001/console

Login using the username/password specified during the creation of "WebCenterDomain". After authentication, ensure you are connected to the "WebCenterDomain" at the top right of the page.

Goal

Solution

Platforms: 1-914CU;

This document is being delivered to you via Oracle Support's Rapid Visibility (RaV) process and therefore has not been subject to an independent technical review.

Applies to:

Oracle WebCenter - Version: 11.1.1.1.0 to 11.1.1.2.0

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

This article covers the configuration steps required to allow WebCenter Spaces and WebCenter

Discussions to connect to Active Directory LDAP server.

Solution

Pre-requisites

1. Ensure the username and password for the administrative user on AD is correct.

Note that the administrative user CN is required, not the full DN,

i.e. administrator as opposed to cn=administrator,cn=Users,dc=webcenter,dc=au,dc=oracle,dc=com.

2. To test the username and password (set PATH to use ldapbind from an ORACLE_HOME)

Using ldapbind, test you can bind as the administrative user which will be used as username in the PRINCIPLE field e.g. ldapbind -h ActiveDirectory_Host.au.oracle.com -p 389 -D "administrator@support.local" -w password1

Configure WebCenter Spaces for AD

The configuration is done via the WebLogic Server administration console, located at

http://machine:7001/console.

Follow the steps documented in (With the following changes/steps):

Step 13 (

Important)

Edit

MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/<DOMAIN_NAME>/config/fmwconfig/jpsconfig.xml file. Refer below.

Step 15 Ensure that the new authentication provider is on top of the list, followed by any other authenticators and

the DefaultAuthenticator placed at the end of the list.

All should have their Control Flags set to SUFFICIENT.

2. Important: Edit

MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/domains/<DOMAIN_NAME>/config/fmwconfig/jpsconfig.xml file

<!-- JPS WLS LDAP Identity Store Service Instance -->

<serviceInstance name="idstore.ldap" provider="idstore.ldap.provider">

<property name="username.attr" value="cn"/> <=== ADDED ======

<property name="user.login.attr" value="sAMAccountName"/> <=== ADDED =====

</serviceInstance>

3. Restart Admin Server and WLS_Spaces.

4. Log back into Administration console AFTER restarting and go to the myrealm, security realm ,

"Users and Groups tab" . On the Users and Groups tab, :

- the Active Directory users are listed in the Users table.

- the provider column indicates where the users came from.

If the active directory users are not listed, that indicates the configuration problem.

Configure WebCenter Discussions for AD

WebCenter Discussions (Jive) is configured for LDAP using the Jive Setup tools.

1. Stop the WLS_Services managed server.

2. Locate the file jiveHome/jive_startup.xml .

JiveHome is usually in middleware_home/user_projects/domains/<Your_Domain_Name>/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS

_Services/owc_discussions_11.1.1.2.0

3. Backup the existing jive_startup.xml.

4. Edit jive_startup.xml and set the value to "false":

<setup>false</setup>

5. Start your WLS_Services managed server.

6. Access the Jive Forums Setup page using the url: http://machine:port/owc_discussions/admin

7. On the "Installation Checklist" page , ensure all checks are successful.

8. On the "Database Settings" page, select "JNDI Datasource"

How to Configure Webcenter 11g (PS2) with UCM 11g

Applies to:

Oracle WebCenter - Version: 11.1.1.3.0 and later [Release: and later ]

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Purpose

Use the existing instances of WebCenter and configure them appropriately to interact with the

UCM 11g.

Scope and Application

This documented is intended for users who are installing Oracle Enterprise Content Management

Suite for the first time and have the basic knowledge about Weblogic server administration.

This document assumes the WebCenter 11g SP2 (11.1.1.3) is installed and configured correctly.

For downloading Universal Content Management (11.1.1.3.0) access the following url: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11-download-092893.html

How to Configure Webcenter 11g (PS2) with UCM 11g

1. Create Schemas for Oracle Enterprise Content Management. (ECM)

Execute the "rcu" executable from the RCU_HOME, like this: cd rcuHome/bin

./rcu

Note:

RCU_HOME is the home where the rcu software was uncompressed.

Choose "Create" option and select all the components for Enterprise Content

Management

2. Install Oracle Enterprise Content Management

Execute the "runInstaller" from the path where the ECM software was uncompressed. like this:

Follow the screens until the installation is completed.

3. Configure Oracle Enterprise Content Management.

Execute the "config" executable from the ECM path (given in the previous step). Like this: cd $FMW_HOME/ECM_Directory/common/bin

./config.sh

You can created or Extend a domain for ECM.

If you create a new domain, be sure on the " Select Optional Configuration" step, choose the "Configure the Administration Server" option and change the default administration port. For instance 7002

Start the new Domain and the managed Servers, like this:

./startWebLogic.sh

./startManagedWeblogic.sh <UCM_Managed_Server> <admin_url> like:

./startManagedWeblogic.sh UCM_server1 http://mymachine.oracle.com:7002

Verify you can access:

http://server:16200/cs/

4. Post Steps on the Configuration of ECM 11g

Start the Oracle Content Server (if not started yet)

1. Login to the Enterprise Manager Console.

2. In the navigation tree, expand the appropriate domain name (for example,

UCM_ucm_domain).

3. Expand Content Management, then Universal Content Management, then Content

Server.

4. Select the Oracle Universal Content Management content server name (for example,

Oracle Content Server (UCM_server1)). The home page for your Oracle Content Server instance displays.

5. From the UCM menu on the Oracle Content Server page, select Control, then Start. The

Oracle Content Server is started.

Configure the Oracle Content Server Instance:

1. As the first time you access:

http://server:16200/cs/

The "Content Server Configuration" screen should appears. Like this:

The diagram above, shows the fields that should be changed according to the instance.

Server Socket Port is set to port used for socket connections on server.

Incoming Socket Connection Address needs to have IP address of server that will open up the socket connection.

Note:

If you do not see the initial configuration screen after access:

" http://server:16200/cs/", then modify the values through the Enterprise Manager Console:

Content Management

> Universal Content Management

> Content Server

>Oracle Universal Content Management.

> Right click "Oracle Universal Content Management" and select configuration

> Add Intradoc ServerPort, that is the same as Server Socket Port

> Add IP Address Filter, that is the same as Incoming Socket Connection Address

Security Filter

For additional information about how to modify those values manually, check the

Note: 1277150.1 How to Update the Content Server Parameters for UCM 11g Post initial

Configuration

2. Restart the UCM server.

5. Enable the Components Required for Integrating UCM 11g in WebCenter.

Login to http://server:16200/cs/

Expand the "Administration" Section > Select Admin Server

From the "Component Manager" window, check in:

1. Folders_g

2. WebCenterConfigure

Configure the Folders Components.

Expand the "Administration" Section > Expand the "Folder Configuration" > Select

Information Field Inherit Configuration.

Check Type, Security Group and Account

Expand the "Administration" Section > Expand the "Folder Configuration" > Select

System Default Information Field Configuration,

Ensure that the Type and Security Group have the following values:

Click on the "General Configuration" link and be sure the option: "Automatically assign a content ID on check-in" is checked it.

Restart UCM Server

6. Create the Connection from WebCenter to UCM 11g.

Once you have completed the steps mentioned above, the next step is to establish the connection from WebCenter to UCM 11g.

Access the Fusion Middleware Control ( Example: http://host:port/em)

Login as the admin user.

From the Farm Webcenter > Webcenter Spaces > Choose webcenter(WLS_Spaces)

From the popup webcenter Menu > Settings>Service Configuration

Be sure "Content Repository" is chosen and select "Add"

Fill out the fields into red square as shown in the below example:

Note:

For additional information about the parameters filled out in above example, review the following documentation:

Oracle® Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter

11 Managing Content Repositories

11.3.2 Registering Content Repositories Using Fusion Middleware Control

Restart the WebCenter Spaces instance for the changes to take effect.

Note:

If the changes on an existing connection are not saved, create a new one and try again.

7. Validate the Connection from Webcenter to UCM 11g.

Personal Space : Ensure that appropriate folders are created on the UCM side for the user authenticated on WebCenter.

- Access http://servername.domain:16200/cs

- Select "Browse Content".

Notice:

You will see folder called PersonalSpaces, with the user weblogic and selecting its name will show any documents created in personal space.

Also notice folder called MyWebCenterSpaces, this is the root folder used when registering the UCM Server with WebCenter. Under here will be a folder for each Group

Space using the Document Service, and selecting on them will see the folders and documents created

Personal Space : The user can upload a document to UCM from WebCenter

Personal Space : The user can retrieve and open the documents in UCM from

WebCenter

Group Space : Created a group space and ensured that appropriate folder is created on the UCM backend

8. Configure the credential store to use LDAP.

If WebCenter and UCM11g are configured in different domains, you need to ensure both domains are setup to share the same Identity Store.

If using the same domain, then only you need to configure that domain to use the desired

Identity Store if not already done.

To be safe, before you create the LDAP authenticator, back up the the following configuration files:

FMW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/config/config.xml

FMW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/config/fmwconfig/jps-config.xml

FMW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/config/fmwconfig/system-jazn-data.xml

FMW_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/AdminServer/security/boot.properties

1. Log in to the WebLogic Server Console.

2. Click the Security Realms link on the left navigational bar.

3. Click the myrealm default realm entry to configure it.

4. Open the "Providers" tab within the realm.

5. Observe that there is a DefaultAuthenticator provider configured for the realm.

6. Click the "New" button to add a new provider.

7. Enter a name for the provider such as OIDAuthenticator or OVDAuthenticatordepending on whether Oracle Internet Directory or Oracle Virtual Directory will be used.

8. Select the OracleInternetDirectoryAuthenticator or OracleVirtualDirectoryAuthenticator type from the list of authenticators depending on whether Oracle Internet Directory or

Oracle Virtual Directory will be used.

9. Click OK.

10. In the Providers screen, click the newly created Authenticator.

11. Set the control flag to SUFFICIENT. This indicates that if a user can be authenticated successfully by this authenticator, then it should accept that authentication and should not continue to invoke any additional authenticators. If the authentication fails, it will fall through to the next authenticator in the chain.

Make sure all subsequent authenticators also have their control flag set to SUFFICIENT; in particular, check the DefaultAuthenticator and set that to SUFFICIENT.

12. Click Save to save this setting.

13. Open the "Provider Specific" tab to enter the details for the LDAP server.

14. Click "Activate Changes" to propagate the changes

Setting the Order of Providers Reorder the OID/OVD Authenticator and Default

Authenticator and ensure that the control flag for each authenticator is set as follows:

■ OID LDAP Authenticator: SUFFICIENT

■ Default Authenticator: SUFFICIENT

15. The Admin Server and the Managed Servers need to be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Note:

For detail information about Configuring the Identity Store, review the following documentation:

Oracle® Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter

24 Configuring the Identity Store

9. Validate the Instances with the new identify store. Repeat the steps mentioned in Task 7, in previous step.

Is it Possible to Change Open Announcement Manager Icons to Point to Alternative

Group Space Announcements

Goal

When an Announcement component to a page in a Group Space, the default behaviour is for this component to display announcements from the Announcement Manager associated with this

Group same Space.

It's possible to edit the properties of this component to point to an Announcement Manager in another Group Space. This is done by editing the component properties and setting the Forum ID to point to the Forum Id associated with that other Group Space.

This works as expected for the announcements themselves.

However, other icons do not work as expected - Announcement Manager and RSS Feed icons on this component still point to the original default Announcement manager for the current space.

The announcement messages and the edit icons point to different places.

Is there a way to get these icons to point to the announcements from a different space?

The ultimate aim is to have three different announcements portlets on a single page pointing to three different announcements from different group spaces.

Solution

There is information on Announcements in the Oracle

Fusion Middleware User's Guide for

Oracle WebCenter

11g Release 1 (11.1.1)

Part Number E10149-02

13.1 What You Should Know About the Announcements Service

This is explained in this documentation:

In group spaces, announcements are scoped to the group space where you create them. In personal space pages, announcements are scoped application-wide, to all logged-in

(authenticated) users.

> The behavior we see is intended behavior. In a Group Spaces, the announcements taskflow has been designed to show the group spaces announcement and not the other group spaces ones.

The situation is different for Personal Spaces, so depending on your requirements, it may be possible to use Personal Space instead of Group Space.

Webcenter Announcement Viewer Task Flow Not Able To Show More Then 10

Announcements

Oracle WebCenter - Version: 11.1.1.2.0 to 11.1.1.4.0 - Release: 11g to 11g

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

The current WebCenter 11.1.1.3 PS2 Bundle Patch 3 instance of Spaces has Announcement taskflow which always displays fixed number of 10 announcements in the taskflow all the time. Is there a taskflow parameter we can set in to the taskflow to tune in the display on number of

Announcements to be displayed in the taskflow?

Solution

The feature is implemented in WebCenter 11.1.1.4.0 (PS3).

Till WebCenter 11.1.1.3 release (PS2) does not have this parameter for Announcement Viewer taskflow.

However, the WebCenter PS3, which was not released at the time this note was written, has the parameter under Announcement viewer taskflow parameter called "Number of Announcements to show".

Perform below steps in PS3 to incorporate the requirement:

1. Edit the Announcement region

2. In the Component Properties: Announcements --> Go to "Parameters" --> "Number of

Announcements to show"

Please specify the number of Announcements you want to show in the parameter field.

There are other enhanced parameters as below:

Expand All Announcements in Extended Mini View

Number of Expanded Announcements

Content View Only

Hide Toolbar

 Navigate to Announcement Viewer

Number of Announcements on Extended Mini View

Forum ID

Announcement Length

When adding an Enterprise Role to a Group

Space, if all services support Enterprise Roles, the group will be added to the Group Space. If one of the services does not support Enterprise

Roles, the users in the group will be added onto the Group Space and it will be logged that the service does not support Enterprise Roles.

Due to this, the user may encounter the issue that on one attempt the group is added to the

Group Space, yet another time, the users in the group are added, yet nothing in the system has changed.

Looking at the logs, there will be contradicting entries indicating that Document Library does support Enterprise Role Mapping (when the group is added to the Group Space), and also that it does not (when the users of the group are added to the Group Space).

The delete message used when deleting a Group

Space page added onto a Personal Space

(cross-scoped page) was the same as which gets displayed when deleting any other page (scoped page). Deleting the Group Space page added onto Personal Spaces actually doesn't delete the page but just deletes the link from Personal

Spaces, so the delete message was misleading.

The fix corrects the message to indicate that the delete will just remove the link from Personal

Spaces.

11.1.1.3.0. The fix adds an new WLST command to do it so - refreshGroupSpaceCache . Refer to Bug 9278002.

Note 1077490.1 - After Upgrade to WebCenter 11.1.1.2.0,

Group Spaces Are Not Displayed in MyGroupSpaces

11.1.1.2.1 11.1.1.3.0 9258161 Creating a Group Space containing a turkish 'I' within its name with the browser locale set to "turkish", it throws an error.

11.1.1.2.1 11.1.1.3.0 9259546 After login to Spaces, when going to Discussions,

Announcements or UCM you'll see the username instead of first name and last name.

11.1.1.2.1 11.1.1.3.0 9274456 When a WebCenter R1 instance is migrated to PS1 there are issues which can be seen.

Performing a refresh from WebCenter Spaces over the

Administration > Group Space, the refresh does not update the tables and no group spaces are seen in the screen.

Creating a Group Space or adding members in Group Space throws the following error: "Errors were encountered in creating group space.".

When logged in as WebCenter Spaces administrator in

Administration > Group Spaces screen, the export/import, bulk delete, setting the Group Spaces active/closed, online/offline options are not available. Also none of the Group Spaces are visible in the My Group Spaces or WebCenter Spaces over the

Administration > Group Spaces screen.

11.1.1.2.1 11.1.1.3.0 9278002 After migrating a WebCenter Spaces R1 instance to PS1 the

Group Space metadata should be refreshed. The webcenter administrator should click the Refresh button in the

Administration > Group Space screen.

To refresh the security-related data, the webcenter administrator should navigate to individual Group Space >

Settings > Members screen and click on the Refresh button.

A WLST command has been created for this case - refreshGroupSpaceCache .

11.1.1.2.2 11.1.1.3.0 9280001 After configuring the Personal Spaces tab to be labeled Home it sometimes shows as #{'Home'} . When this happens it remains that way till you logout the session. After logout and login it changes back to the normal display of Home.

11.1.1.2.3 11.1.1.3.0 9282886 In the getGroupSpaceMetadataWithoutSecurity() method, there were some issues with populating the customAttribute and not flushing the changes. So, when tests performed, like create Group Space and fetch all the Group

Space metadata, for the last group whose data was not flushed was resulting in ConcurrantMOChangeException .

11.1.1.2.2 11.1.1.3.0 9305838 After login to Spaces, when going to My Group Spaces, you'll see the user name instead of first name and last name. With this fix you will see a person's display name instead of his user

11.1.1.2.4 11.1.1.4.0 9501040 The delete message used when deleting a Group Space page added onto a Personal Space (cross-scoped page) was the same as which gets displayed when deleting any other page

(scoped page). Deleting the Group Space page added onto

Personal Spaces actually doesn't delete the page but just deletes the link from Personal Spaces, so the delete message was misleading. The fix corrects the message to indicate that the delete will just remove the link from Personal Spaces.

Updating to Webcenter 11.1.1.4.0 (PS3):

Updating to WebCenter 11.1.1.2.0 (PS1):

This document is being delivered to you via Oracle Support's Rapid Visibility (RaV) process and therefore has not been subject to an independent technical review.

Applies to:

Oracle WebCenter - Version: 11.1.1.1.0 to 11.1.1.5.0 - Release: 11g to 11g

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

This document is for WebCenter Administrators that need to maintain Oracle WebCenter 11g.

In this document you will find information to upgrade WebCenter 11g to the latest release.

Solution

Understanding Valid Migration Paths

An Oracle Fusion Middleware environment can consist of different components like:

Oracle WebLogic Server

Web Logic Server domain (for Webcenter, SOA, etc.)

Java components, such as Oracle Webcenter, Oracle SOA Suite.

Oracle instances containing system components such as Oracle HTTP Server.

 etc.

At the time of writing this note the latest version of WebCenter is 11.1.1.5.0.

Depending on your current WebCenter version moving to a later release could require upgrading/patching to an intermediate release.

WebCenter is just part of a more complete set of Products that are part of a Fusion Middleware install. So upgrading or patching WebCenter involves upgrading or patching all components under the Fusion Middleware environment.

Valid upgrade/migration paths are as follows:

Starting with R1 (11.1.1.1.0) these are valid migration paths:

R1 (11.1.1.1.0) --> PS1 (11.1.1.2.0)

Note: The only valid migration path from R1 is to go to PS1. Once you upgrade to PS1 release then you can migrate to a later release.

Starting with PS1 (11.1.1.2.0) these are valid migration paths:

PS1 (11.1.1.2.0) --> PS4 (11.1.1.5.0)

PS1 (11.1.1.2.0) --> PS3 (11.1.1.4.0)

PS1 (11.1.1.2.0) --> PS2 (11.1.1.3.0)

Starting with PS2 (11.1.1.3.0) these are valid migration paths:

PS2 (11.1.1.3.0) --> PS4 (11.1.1.5.0)

PS2 (11.1.1.3.0) --> PS3 (11.1.1.4.0)

Starting with PS3 (11.1.1.4.0) these are valid migration paths:

PS2 (11.1.1.4.0) --> PS4 (11.1.1.5.0)

The above shows valid migration paths. Note that from a given starting release you can upgrade to different intermediate releases. However we recommend doing the upgrade to the latest release.

Note:

This document doesn't cover upgrading from WebCenter 10g to 11g.

Updating to Webcenter 11.1.1.5.0 (PS4):

This section explains the general process for upgrading to WebCenter 11.1.1.5.0 (PS4) from any of the following releases:

WebCenter 11.1.1.4.0

WebCenter 11.1.1.3.0

WebCenter 11.1.1.2.0

If your existing Oracle Fusion Middleware software is 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0), you must first migrate your existing software and configuration data to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.0), and then update the software to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0).

The following documentation contains more information on this upgrade path:

11g Release 1 (11.1.1)

1 Understanding Your Installation Starting Point

1.4 Starting with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g (11.1.1.2.0), 11g (11.1.1.3.0), and 11g

(11.1.1.4.0)

So this is what you need to do to upgrade to WebCenter 11.1.1.5.0 (PS4):

1. Before starting the upgrade be sure to backup your existing Fusion Middleware.

You should back up the following: o Your entire Oracle Fusion Middleware environment with all services down. o Your domains. o The database.

6. Update Your Database Schemas

The Patch Set Assistant is used in patch set releases only to update the database schema of an Oracle Fusion Middleware component. This tool updates 11g Release 1 schema versions as described below:

Version 11.1.1.2.0 to version 11.1.1.5.0

Version 11.1.1.3.0 to version 11.1.1.5.0

Version 11.1.1.4.0 to version 11.1.1.5.0

If your existing schema version is earlier than 11.1.1.2.0, you must migrate to version

11.1.1.2.0 before you can run the Patch Set Assistant.

Check the following document for more information:

Oracle Fusion Middleware Patching Guide

11g Release 1 (11.1.1)

4 Updating Your Schemas with Patch Set Assistant

For example, in my case:

MW_HOME = /refresh/oracle/fmw11g

ORACLE_HOME = /refresh/oracle/fmw11g/WebCenter o Change to the ORACLE_HOME/OPatch directory: cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch o Run the following command:

./opatch lsinventory

Note:

If you don't have a central inventory add this parameter to the above command:

-invPtrLoc <ORACLE_HOME_LOCATION>/oraInst.loc o Take note of the "Log file location" at the beginning of the output of the above command.

The log file name should be like:

Log file location :

/refresh/oracle/fmw11g/WebCenter/cfgtoollogs/opatch/opatch2011-05-30_11-15-

00AM.log

o Review the opatch log and confirm it says something like this to confirm

Webcenter was correctly upgraded to 11.1.1.5.0:

Installed Top-level Products (1):

Oracle WebCenter Suite 11g 11.1.1.5.0

There are 1 products installed in this Oracle Home.

9. Check the following note to verify for recommended patches for WebCenter or ADF.
