3 Oracle WebCenter Content for 10g Users

The following sections introduce some key concepts of the Oracle WebCenter Content 11g environment for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite 10g users:

- Section 3.1, "Oracle WebCenter Content Components"

- Section 3.2, "Oracle WebCenter Content and Oracle WebLogic Server"

- Section 3.3, "Directory Structure for Oracle WebCenter Content"

- Section 3.4, "Changes to Oracle WebCenter Content and Oracle WebCenter Content: Records"

- Section 3.4.4, "Changes to Oracle WebCenter Content: Records"

- Section 3.5, "Changes to Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging"

- Section 3.6, "Changes to Oracle Information Rights Management"

3.1 Oracle WebCenter Content Components

Oracle WebCenter Content, an Oracle Fusion Middleware component, is an integrated suite of products designed for managing content. It is the industry's most unified enterprise content management platform that enables you to leverage industry-leading document management, Web content management, digital asset management, and records management functionality to build your business applications. Building a strategic enterprise content management infrastructure for content and applications helps you to reduce costs, easily share content across the enterprise, minimize risk, automate expensive, time-intensive and manual processes, and consolidate multiple Web sites onto a single platform.

Oracle WebCenter Content comprises a number of different components including:

- Oracle WebCenter Content

- Oracle WebCenter Content: Records

- Oracle Information Rights Management

- Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging

For information about all Oracle WebCenter Content components, see the Oracle WebCenter Content Concepts Guide.

3.2 Oracle WebCenter Content and Oracle WebLogic Server

The most significant difference between Oracle Enterprise Content Manager 10g and Oracle WebCenter Content 11g, is the deployment to Oracle WebLogic Server, and the integration of Oracle WebCenter Content components with Oracle Fusion Middleware applications, such as Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Business Process Management.

For more information about Oracle Fusion Middleware Components, see "Introduction to Oracle Fusion Middleware" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

Oracle WebLogic Server Middleware Home

Oracle WebCenter Content requires a Middleware home with Oracle WebLogic Server on your system. If your system does not already have Oracle WebLogic Server, you can install it in a new Middleware home directory.

A Middleware home is a container for the Oracle WebLogic Server home, and, optionally, one Oracle Common home and one or more Oracle homes, with a directory structure like this:

/middleware_home
wlserver_10.3
jdk160
oracle_common
WC_CONTENT_ORACLE_HOME
user_projects

The Oracle WebCenter Content home contains the binary and library files necessary for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite. WC_CONTENT_ORACLE_HOME represents the ECM Oracle home in path names.

The Oracle WebCenter Content home can be associated with multiple Oracle WebLogic Server domains. The Oracle Common home contains the binary and library files required for Oracle WebCenter Content 11g Fusion Middleware Control and Java Required Files (JRF).

A Middleware home can reside on a local file system or on a remote shared disk that is accessible through a network file system (NFS).

For more information about the structure and contents of a Middleware home, see "Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware Concepts" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

3.3 Directory Structure for Oracle WebCenter Content

Figure 3-1 shows the default directory structure of an Oracle WebCenter Content installation.

When you install Oracle WebLogic Server, the installer creates a Middleware home directory (MW_HOME) that contains the Oracle WebLogic Server home directory (WL_HOME) and an Oracle Common home directory (ORACLE_COMMON_HOME), which contains the binary and library files required for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control and Java Required Files (JRF).

When you install Oracle WebCenter Content, an WebCenter Content Oracle home directory for the suite (WC_CONTENT_ORACLE_HOME) is created under the Middleware home directory. The WebCenter Content Oracle home directory contains the binary and library files for Oracle WebCenter Content.

When you configure Oracle WebCenter Content to create an Oracle WebLogic Server domain, a domain directory is created by default under the MW_HOME/user_projects/domain directory. The directory for the domain where you configure Oracle WebCenter Content contains the Administration Server and one or more Managed Servers, each hosting an Oracle WebCenter Content application. Based on the application or applications that you install, the following Managed Servers are created:

- Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging Managed Server

- Oracle Information Rights Management Managed Server

- Oracle WebCenter Content Managed Server

- Oracle WebCenter Content: Records Managed Server

Figure 3-1 illustrates the directory structure that installation and configuration of these products creates on your system.

Note:

As previously indicated, by default, the domain directory is created within the User Projects directory. However, domain directories do not have to be based within the User Project directory. In fact, it is a best practice to ensure that the domain directories are outside of the installation directory.

Figure 3-1 Directory Structure of an Oracle WebCenter Content Installation

The topology in Figure 3-1 includes multiple applications configured on the same host in one Oracle WebLogic Server domain that includes only Oracle WebCenter Content applications. The schemas for the applications are in the same database.

3.4 Changes to Oracle WebCenter Content and Oracle WebCenter Content: Records

This section summarizes changes to Oracle WebCenter Content and Oracle WebCenter Content: Records for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.

- Architectural Changes

- New Features for Oracle WebCenter Content 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)

- Changed Features for Oracle WebCenter Content Release 11g (11.1.1)

- Changes to Oracle WebCenter Content: Records

3.4.1 Architectural Changes

Figure 3-2 shows the basic architecture of Oracle Universal Content Management 10g. The Oracle URM structure is the same.

Figure 3-3 shows the basic architecture of Oracle WebCenter Content 11g. The Oracle WebCenter Content: Records 11g architecture is the same.

Figure 3-3 The Oracle WebCenter Content Architecture for Oracle Fusion Middleware11g

3.4.2 New Features for Oracle WebCenter Content 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)

Oracle WebCenter Content 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) includes the following new features in this guide:

- Folders: This component, installed and enabled by default, provides a hierarchical folder interface within the browser, similar to a conventional file system, for organizing, locating, and managing repository content and content item metadata. This is a scalable, enterprise solution and is a replacement for the earlier Contribution Folders interface. For information about migrating content from the earlier Contribution Folders interface, see Oracle WebCenter Content System Administrator's Guide for Content Server.

- Web services: Oracle WebCenter Content uses Oracle WebLogic Server Web Services.

- ComponentTool: The ComponentTool utility has been added to provide a command-line tool for installing, enabling, and disabling components.

- Content Server deployment: Content Server is deployed on an Oracle WebLogic Server in the Oracle WebCenter Content, which means changes in configuring and administering Oracle WebCenter Content. For more information, see Oracle WebCenter Content System Administrator's Guide for Content Server.

For more information, See "What's New" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Application Administrator's Guide for Content Server.

3.4.3 Changed Features for Oracle WebCenter Content Release 11g (11.1.1)

Oracle WebCenter Content 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) includes the following changes:

- Directory Structure: The directory structure of an installed Oracle WebCenter Content instance has changed. Unlike in Release 10gR3, runtime files, configuration files, and files that must be shared between clustered Content Server instances, server configuration files, and file store may be in various locations. The following locations and terms are important to understanding an Oracle WebCenter Content Release 11gR1 (11.1.1) installation:

- IdcHomeDir: The variable used to refer to the directory in WC_CONTENT_ORACLE_HOME where the Oracle WebCenter Content server media is located. The server media can run Content Server, Inbound Refinery, or Universal Records Management.

- DomainHome: The variable used to refer to the user-specified directory where an Oracle WebCenter Content server is deployed to run on an Oracle WebLogic Server application server. The DomainHome/ucm/short-product-id/bin directory contains the intradoc.cfg file and executables.

- short-product-id: The variable used to refer to the type of Oracle WebCenter Content server deployed on an Oracle WebLogic Server. Possible values include:

- cs (Content Server)

- ibr (Inbound Refinery)

- urm (Universal Records Management)

- IntradocDir: The variable used to refer to the root directory for configuration and data files specific to a Content Server instance deployed on an Oracle WebCenter Content domain on an Oracle WebLogic Server. This variable is configured for one type of Content Server instance: Content Server, or Inbound Refinery, or Universal Records Management. This directory can be located elsewhere, but the default location is DomainHome/ucm/short-product-id.

- SOAP: SOAP is provided with Oracle WebLogic Server, not in Oracle WebCenter Content.

- WSDL Generator: The WSDL Generator is not supported.

- Web Form Editor: The Web Form Editor user interface and FCKEditor are not supported.

3.4.4 Changes to Oracle WebCenter Content: Records

Previous versions of Oracle WebCenter Content were divided into two editions:

- Records Manager DoD Edition, which was used for DoD compliance tracking

- Corporate Edition, which did not contain many of the features included in Records Manager DoD Edition.

As of this release, much of the product functionality has been merged and functionality can be chosen after installation by selecting different features for configuration.

The classification scheme hierarchy functionality for use with the Model Requirements for the Management of Electronic Records (MoReq2) specification is also new for this release. This functionality can be enabled by setting a configuration variable.

Sites which are upgrading from previous versions of the software will see increased flexibility and functionality. Specific differences are available in the Installation Guide for the product.

The following list discusses some specific changes to the product from previous releases. The features will vary depending on the options chosen at installation:

- The definition of a record is now configurable. Options on the Create Retention Category page allow a records administrator to choose whether items in that category can be revised, deleted, edited, or will be permanent.

- Setting up the software now consists of three main steps:

- Initial choices: this should be done immediately after installation. Depending on the choices made, specific components will be enabled for use.

- Initial configuration of global settings: this includes setting configuration variables, configuring the time periods used in the software, setting up triggers, and other global settings used for retention management.

- Configuring the retention elements of the software: this includes setting options to use custom security fields, to use classification guides, and to choose how revisions, deletions, and edits to content are handled.

- Physical Content Management documentation is incorporated into this documentation at this release. Separate documentation no longer exists for Physical Content Management.

- Page navigation menus on the search results page have changed. If more results are returned than are configured in the User Profile page, the page navigation drop-down menu indicates that other pages of information are available for viewing.

- A print option is now available on every screen.

- When using Physical Content Management offsite storage of content can be configured.

- Menus have been extensively changed. Most options are now available by using the Records or the Physical menu option on the Top menu.

- You can easily view your assigned rights by going to the My Profiles page. Retention administration rights are displayed there as are the assigned roles.

- A dashboard is now available which can be used to quickly organize product features for easy access and use. This is discussed in detail in the Oracle WebCenter Content User's Guide for Records .

- A new interface is provided to manage reports. Templates can be created for reports and can be checked in to the repository in the same way other content can be checked in.

- Out of date content (not the current version) is now designated as such with a line through the content name in search results. Any item which is obsolete, canceled, rescinded, and so on is designated in this manner.

- A Favorites listing can be created, similar to bookmarked browser "Favorites". Users and aliases as well as categories, freezes and other retention objects can be added to the Favorites menu. Favorites items are used to populate option lists, such as when creating freezes. For example, if an item is on your Favorites list, it appears on the pulldown list when you choose a freeze name. This helps to narrow the choices when using this functionality.

- When creating disposition rules involving moves (such as Archive, Accession, Transfer, and Move), a location can be specified. If a location is chosen, content is copied to the specified location as part of the disposition step. In previous releases, a zip file of the copied content was created; the content was not copied to a location.

- Disposition rules can now be reviewed in a workflow before implementation.

- Content stored in folders can now be transferred to volumes. When a volume is created, all content in the folder is moved to a newly created volume folder.

- Services used in this product are now documented in the Oracle WebCenter Content Services Reference Guide. See that guide for details about the services used and how to implement new services.

- Screening can now be accessed through the search menu.

- Performance monitoring can now be done through the Oracle WebCenter Content: Records interface. Performance statistics for batches, items, and processes can be tracked.

- Folios can be used to easily manage content. With this release, when a folio is locked (either by freezing or filing in a category that prohibits edits), the folio and its content are automatically cloned, and the bundle is locked, thus preventing the folio from being edited.

- Categories and disposition rules can be copied from existing categories to a new category, making retention schedule creation easier and less prone to error.

- Related content links for items can be created as needed on the content checkin page.

3.5 Changes to Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging

This section describes the most significant changes between Oracle I/PM 10g and Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging 11g

Note:

Upgrade Assistant does not support upgrading from Oracle Imaging and Process Management (Oracle I/PM) 10g to Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging 11g.

This section contains the following topics:

- Integration with Oracle Document Capture

- Integration with an Oracle Document Repository

- Integration with Oracle WebLogic Server

- Integration with Oracle Workflow Server

3.5.1 Integration with Oracle Document Capture

Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging integrates with Oracle Document Capture and Oracle Distributed Document Capture to allow you to convert physical documents into an electronic format to be uploaded to Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging. Ensure that Oracle Document Capture has been configured with the Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging 11g commit driver. Talk to the Oracle Document Capture administrator or see the administration documentation for Oracle Document Capture or Oracle Distributed Document Capture.

3.5.2 Integration with an Oracle Document Repository

Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging leverages Oracle Content Server as a repository for document storage and retrieval. Oracle Content Server supports both out-of-the-box content management services and open, customizable integration options that can manage a broad range of enterprise content such as emails, documents, and images from different content sources. Content Server supports Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2 databases to allow indexing and storage of content in a variety of ways. Depending on the database and configuration, documents and metadata can be stored within the database, on a file system, or a combination of both. Flexible search options allow you to configure the repository to support either metadata searching or full-text searching per WebCenter Content: Imaging application to provide the most applicable search capabilities.

3.5.3 Integration with Oracle WebLogic Server

Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging is designed to leverage many of the features of Oracle WebLogic Server including its standard Java EE architecture, integrations with Oracle security components, scalability including clustering, system management tools like Enterprise Manager, WebLogic Scripting Tools, and WebLogic Server Console.

3.5.3.1 Working Within a Clustered Environment

For production environments that require increased application performance, throughput, or high availability, you can configure two or more Managed Servers to operate as a cluster. A cluster is a collection of multiple Oracle WebLogic Server instances running simultaneously and working together to provide increased scalability and reliability. In a cluster, most resources and services are deployed identically to each Managed Server (as opposed to a single Managed Server), enabling failover and load balancing. A single domain can contain multiple Oracle WebLogic Server clusters, as well as multiple Managed Servers that are not configured as clusters. The key difference between clustered and non-clustered Managed Servers is support for failover and load balancing. These features are available only in a cluster of Managed Servers. For more information on configuring a clusters in WebLogic Server, see the guide Oracle Fusion Middleware Using Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server.

3.5.4 Integration with Oracle Workflow Server

A connection to a workflow server is used to initiate a workflow process when documents are uploaded to Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging, allowing for business process integration across the enterprise.

Figure 3-4 illustrates the Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging process overview.

5 Oracle WebCenter Content Post-Upgrade Tasks and Considerations

This chapter describes post-upgrade steps required for upgrading your Oracle WebCenter Content.

- Section 5.1, "Post-Upgrade Tasks and Considerations for Oracle WebCenter Content"

- Section 5.2, "Post-Upgrade Tasks and Considerations for Oracle WebCenter Content: Records"

- Section 5.3, "Installing Custom Components"

5.1 Post-Upgrade Tasks and Considerations for Oracle WebCenter Content

You must perform the following additional post-upgrade tasks after you have completed the procedure in Section 4.6, "Task 6: Use the Upgrade Assistant to Upgrade the Oracle WebCenter Content Middle Tier":

- Section 5.1.1, "Start the Managed Servers"

- Section 5.1.2, "Post-Upgrade Configuration Page"

- Section 5.1.3, "OracleTextSearch with External Database or SES"

- Section 5.1.4, "Oracle Universal Content Management and Connection Server"

- Section 5.1.5, "Content Server User Logins and Oracle WebLogic Server"

- Section 5.1.6, "Oracle Oracle WebCenter Content Internal User Logins"

- Section 5.1.7, "Customized Properties in Previous Oracle WebCenter Content Versions"

- Section 5.1.8, "Microsoft SQL Server Schema Name and JDBC Username"

- Section 5.1.9, "Inbound Refinery Upgrade"

- Section 5.1.10, "Web Root used as Context Root"

- Section 5.1.11, "Changing the Folders Configuration to Contribution Folders"

- Section 5.1.12, "Enabling New Storage Rules"

- Section 5.1.13, "Configuring dDocCreatedDate Attribute"

5.1.1 Start the Managed Servers

To start the managed server for Oracle WebCenter Content, follow the instructions described in "Starting Managed Servers" in the Oracle WebCenter Content Installation Guide.

5.1.2 Post-Upgrade Configuration Page

Instead of a post-installation Content Server Configuration page, a post-upgrade Content Server Configuration page appears. This page, which is available at http://server:16200/cs/, includes options for final configuration of Oracle WebCenter Content. It also presents a list of 10g components and how the Upgrade Assistant managed each component. For more information, see "Completing the WebCenter Content Configuration" in the Oracle WebCenter Content Installation Guide.

1. Under Instance Information, the original 10g weblayout and vault directories are shown. If you wish to move these directories, enter the new locations in this form.

2. Because the 11g server is running inside WebLogic Server, the HttpServerAddress may need to be changed. For example, if the 10g server was running under Apache, or any another Web server, it may have been running on port 80 (the default for Web servers). The default port number inside WebLogic Server for Content Server is 16200, (in the Configuration Wizard, there was an option to change this value), so the HttpServerAddress must be updated to contain the correct TCP port number. The hostname portion of the server address may also need to be updated to reflect any changes. The default value for HttpServerAddress is derived from the current WebLogic Server settings after you start the managed server.

3. A list of components installed on the 10g server appears below the form fields. Many of these components are packaged with the 11g server, so those components are not copied during the upgrade. Some components may no longer be supported, and are not copied over for other reasons. This table describes the reason for each component. Custom components are also included in this list. The upgrade process builds each 10g custom component using the same mechanism that the Component Manager's "Download" uses to build a component (the same mechanism that Component Wizard's "Build" uses). The resulting components' zip files are copied into the 11g server but are not installed or enabled. Below the table is a description of where these component zip files are located. Take note of this location.

4. Click Submit to save these configuration changes. After successfully saving these changes, a page appears explaining that this node must be restarted.

5. Restart the managed servers.

5.1.3 OracleTextSearch with External Database or SES

If your Oracle Universal Content Management 10g instance has OracleTextSearch set up with an external database or SES, you must edit the associated database to remove the value in the Configuration Class setting, and restart the managed server.

5.1.4 Oracle Universal Content Management and Connection Server

In 10g, the Connection Server component enabled content to be registered with a Content Server Archive, to be published by the Connection Server. This component is not supported in this Oracle WebCenter Content 11g release.

Note that the following features of Connection Server 10g are still available and are supported as long as Connection Server 10g is supported:

- Connection Server 10g enabled the publishing of files from a file system to multiple file systems. This is still supported. In future releases the same functionality will be provided by Deployment Server.

- Connection Server 10g can still be used to crawl an 11g Site Studio Web Site. However, a new component in Oracle WebCenter Content 11g, Site Studio Publisher, is the preferred method to crawl Site Studio web sites and produce static file representations of these sites. After the representation is made, the Connection Server can be used to publish the files or any other tool can be used to move the files from one server to another. (Note that Site Studio Publisher is not the same as the Site Studio Publishing Utility 10g).

5.1.5 Content Server User Logins and Oracle WebLogic Server

Although user logins can still be created and managed on Content Server with the User Admin applet, they are not valid for authentication purposes unless they also have been created on Oracle WebLogic Server.

If you use an LDAP server and create a user login with the same name as a local user defined in Content Server with the User Admin applet, the LDAP user is authenticated against LDAP when logging in, but receives roles assigned to the local user.

5.1.6 Oracle Oracle WebCenter Content Internal User Logins

In prior versions of Oracle WebCenter Content, there were two types of users defined:

- External users: In Oracle Universal Content Management 10g, when an external user logs in, Content Server used the external storage mechanism to validate the login, for example checking the username and password. In 11g with oracle WebLogic Server, the administrators must configure WebLogic Server to use the same storage mechanism. Once that is working, those users can log in to WebLogic Server just as they did in UCM 10g. Their UCM username, password, saved preferences, and other information will be the same.

- Local users: In Oracle Universal Content Management 10g, when a local user logged in, Content Server validated the login by comparing the hashed passwords. In Oracle WebCenter Content 11g, with Oracle WebLogic Server, those users will not be able to login until WebLogic Server logins are created for each of the UCM logins. Once administrators somehow create those WebLogic Server logins, (using an external storage mechanism, or by creating accounts using Enterprise Manager), those users will be able to login to WebLogic Server using their new password. Their old UCM username, saved preferences, and some other information will remain the same; though the password will likely be changed.

When a new WebLogic Server login is created, that user can log in through WebLogic Server and Content Server creates a user directory for that user. Content Server uses this directory for maintaining saved preferences and other information about that user. If that directory already exists, the existing preferences will apply to this user. As a result, when an old 10g UCM "local" user logs in to a newly-created 11g WebLogic Server login with the same username, their 10g preferences will already exist and the system will work as expected.

5.1.7 Customized Properties in Previous Oracle WebCenter Content Versions

If the properties of metadata fields used by standard components have been customized in a previous version of Oracle WebCenter Content, those customizations may need to be reapplied after the upgrade. After upgrading the properties are automatically reset to reflect the default preferences. For example, if a field has been customized to be visible on a checkin page in a previous version, after the upgrade that field may be invisible again because the default rules for the component are applied.

5.1.8 Microsoft SQL Server Schema Name and JDBC Username

When upgrading Oracle Universal Content Management with a Microsoft SQL Server database, the schema name and the JDBC username must be the same or the schema upgrade will fail.

5.1.9 Inbound Refinery Upgrade

Oracle does not recommend upgrading Inbound Refinery (IBR) from previous versions. Instead, install and configure the 11g version of Inbound Refinery and adjust the Content Server provider to use the newly installed application.

5.1.10 Web Root used as Context Root

After upgrading to 11g, the web root value for your 10g system is used as the context root for your 11g system.

5.1.11 Changing the Folders Configuration to Contribution Folders

Oracle WebCenter Content Server provides a hierarchical folder interface, through either the Folders or Contribution Folders feature, for organizing and managing content in the repository. You cannot have both Folders (FrameworkFolders component) and Contribution Folders (Folders_g component) enabled on a Content Server instance.

Having both features enabled is not a supported configuration because some features, including the CoreWebdav system component, would not work correctly with both enabled. On a production system, you need to disable the Folders_g component and enable the FrameworkFolder component for Oracle WebCenter Content.

To change the Folders configuration to Contribution Folders:

1. In the Content Server Administration tray or menu, click Admin Server.

2. On the Component Manager page, select Folders to display the Folders category of components.

3. Deselect the Folders_g component.

4. Click the Update button, and click OK when prompted to confirm disabling the component.

5. In the first paragraph of the Component Manager page, click advanced component manager.

6. In the Disabled Components box on the Advanced Component Manager page, select FrameworkFolders, and click the Enable button.

7. Restart Content Server, as described in "Restarting a Managed Server" in the Oracle WebCenter Content Installation Guide.

5.1.12 Enabling New Storage Rules

If you have upgraded the DefaultFileStore provider in Enterprise Content Management 10g, then after upgrading to WebCenter Content 11g, the default storage rules are not available. In Enterprise Content Management 10g for using the file storage rules upgrading the DefaultFileStore provider was required.

You can enable the storage rule by performing the following:

1. Open the config.cfg file (Located at intradoc dir/config) in a text editor and edit it as: UpdateFilestoreProvider=true.

2. After you complete editing the config.cfg file, restart your server.

5.1.13 Configuring dDocCreatedDate Attribute

After upgrading from 10g to 11g a new document attribute, dDocCreatedDate is introduced. The resulting attribute needs to be manually configured to support sorting from a search query.

Complete the following steps to configure it:

1. To access the running Content Server instance, start a web browser and enter the following URL: http://managedServerHost:managedServerPort/cs
For managedServerHost, specify the name of the computer that hosts the Oracle WebLogic Server Managed Server for the WebCenter Content domain where the Content Server instance is installed. For managedServerPort, specify the listen port number for the Oracle WebLogic Server Managed Server for the WebCenter Content domain where the Content Server instance is installed.

Log in with the administrator user name and password for Oracle WebLogic Server. The default port number for WebCenter Content with the Content Server instance is 16200. For example: http://myHost.example.com:16200/cs

2. Expand Administration on the left pane and select Admin Applets.

3. Click Configuration Manager.

4. Ensure that the Information Fields tab is selected, and then click Advanced Search Design.

5. In the Advance Search Design window, select dDocCreatedDate and click Edit.

6. Select the Is sortable option and click OK.

5.2 Post-Upgrade Tasks and Considerations for Oracle WebCenter Content: Records

For Oracle WebCenter Content: Records post-upgrade tasks, follow the same steps as described in Section 5.1, "Post-Upgrade Tasks and Considerations for Oracle WebCenter Content."

For more information about post-installation tasks for Oracle WebCenter Content: Records, See "Setting Up The Software" in Oracle WebCenter Content Setup Guide for Records.

To start the managed server for Oracle WebCenter Content, follow the instructions described in "Starting Managed Servers" in the Oracle WebCenter Content Installation Guide.

5.2.2 Post-Upgrade Configuration Page

For more information, see Post-Upgrade Configuration Page.

5.2.3 Oracle WebCenter Content: Records Content Basket Creation

In previous versions of Oracle WebCenter Content: Records, each user was automatically assigned a content basket. In the current version of the software, you must create your own content baskets. Any items in your basket prior to upgrading are not retained.

5.2.4 Oracle WebCenter Content: Records Scheduled Jobs

If any jobs were scheduled in previous versions of Oracle WebCenter Content: Records, such as Scheduled Screening Reports and URM Agent Scheduled Events, those jobs must be rescheduled. Schedule times and frequency are not automatically assigned during the upgrade process.

5.2.5 Oracle WebCenter Content: Records Custom Dispositions

If custom dispositions were previously created using an older version of Oracle WebCenter Content: Records, those dispositions should be re-examined and updated to use the newest services and actions. The Action Service parameters have changed from previous versions of this software and any changes to existing custom dispositions are not mapped automatically.

5.2.6 Oracle PCM Customized Icons

If customized icons were created in a previous version of the Physical Content Management software, they are not automatically transferred during an upgrade. They must be copied after upgrading.

5.2.7 Oracle WebCenter Content: Records Enable Features Display

After upgrading to 11g, you must navigate to the Enabled Features page, configure your system to the desired installation level, and click the Submit button. If there is a dependency on existing data, some features and actions are auto enabled by the system during the submission of this display. Before performing any type of setup steps following the Configure Installation link in the setup checklist display, you must submit (save) this display, and restart Content Server.

5.2.8 Dropping Oracle URM 10g Tables

When you install RM or URM, several different database tables are created. When you uninstall them, those tables are not automatically removed. You must manually drop the tables to ensure that no data is accidentally lost. If you uninstall RM or URM but do not manually drop the tables, the upgrade process does not modify in any way. If you then attempted to reinstall RM or URM after the upgrade the old tables (from 10g) would conflict with the new 11g system.

5.2.9 Oracle WebCenter Content: Records Set Scripts Option

When creating a simple profile Oracle WebCenter Content: Records11g, the Set Scripts option where you can enter pre-submit and post-submit scripts using idocscripts, is no longer available in Oracle WebCenter Content: Records 11g.

5.2.10 Oracle WebCenter Content: Records Simple Profile Settings

Verify all settings for Simple Profiles after upgrading. Some settings are not carried over automatically during the upgrade process.

5.2.11 Editing the config.cfg File

After upgrading to Oracle WebCenter Content: Records you must open the config.cfg file (Located at intradoc dir/config) in a text editor and update HttpRelativeWebRoot parameter to HttpRelativeWebRoot=/urm/.

Note:

You must enter /urm/ as the default value. If you specify any other value, the Oracle WebCenter Content: Records server will not start.

After you complete editing the config.cfg file you must restart your server.

5.2.12 Importing Related Content Links

If you import an archive from a 10g version of the software to the 11g version that includes a Related Content table, the import must be done in two steps. First import the content items in an archive. Then import the Related Content table.

5.3 Installing Custom Components

Oracle recommends testing all custom components in a development environment with an 11g content server before implementing them in a production environment. Changes in the content server may cause 10g customizations to behave differently or incorrectly.

1. Log in to the server through the Content Server UI.

2. Click the Admin Server link under the Administration menu, and select the UCM Admin Server.

3. For each 10g component to install in 11g, do the following:

1. Click the advanced component manager link under the Component Manager heading.

2. Click the Browse button in the Install New Component section.

3. Navigate to the $IntradocDir/upgrade/components/ directory and select the component zip file.

4. Click the Install button.

5. Click the Continue button.

6. Click one of the Click here links to return to the Component Manager and optionally enable this component.

4. Once all desired components are installed, restart the managed server once more.
