1 General Information

1.1 What's New

CPS 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) includes the following new features and enhancements:

CPS Architecture

CPS now uses the Remote Intradoc Client (RIDC) API to communicate with Oracle Content Server. CPS portlet actions are mapped to a custom MVC framework that uses the RIDC API to perform tasks. This architecture enables CPS portlets to call RIDC methods and execute the requested content server service. See "CPS Software Development Kit" for more information.

Additional WSRP Support

IBM Websphere Portal 6.1 is now supported as both a WSRP Producer and WSRP Consumer. See "IBM WebSphere Portal as Producer" for more information.

1.2 Servers Supported in this Release

This version of CPS provides Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) support. CPS is deployed as a WSRP Producer and can be consumed from other WSRP-enabled Consumers.

Supported WSRP Producers and Consumers

Oracle WebCenter 11g Release 1 with PS2 or higher (as producer)

• Oracle WebCenter Spaces 11g Release 1 (supported consumer)

Oracle WebLogic Portal 10g Release 3 (as producer)

• Oracle WebCenter Interaction 10g Release 3 (supported consumer)

• Oracle WebLogic Portal 10g Release 3 (supported consumer)

IBM WebSphere Portal Version 6.1 (as producer)

• IBM WebSphere Portal Version 6.1 (supported consumer)

1.3 Portlets Provided with this Release

CPS enables you to manage content creation and the distribution process through a set of easy-to-use portlets. By providing access to Oracle Content Server, CPS enables users to update, search, and view content in an easy, efficient way.

These are the available portlets for this release:

• Oracle Guest Library: Presents content to users based on their role in the organization.

• Oracle Guest Search: Enables the user to perform a keyword or full-text search on the content server and permits read-only access to the returned content.

• Oracle Saved Search: Enables the user to save frequently used queries.

• Oracle Contribution: Enables the user to submit content to the content server.

• Oracle Library: Presents content to users based on their role in the organization, and provides read/write access to the returned content.

• Oracle Search: Enables the user to perform a selected metadata and keyword search on the content server and provides read/write access to the returned content.

• Oracle Workflow Queue: Notifies users of their outstanding workflow tasks.

• Oracle Metadata Admin: Enables the administrator to modify the properties of custom metadata.

1.4 Recommended Access Settings

This section provides the recommended access settings for the portlets. By default, portlet security is set to allow access by only the system administrator. You must also configure security to allow other users to access the portlets and assign permissions based on the access requirements you establish for users. However, some security settings are recommended for authenticated users and for anonymous users.

Authenticated Users

These security settings are recommended for authenticated users:

• Oracle Guest Library: edit

• Oracle Guest Search: edit

• Oracle Saved Search: edit

• Oracle Guest Library: edit

• Oracle Contribution: edit

• Oracle Library: edit

• Oracle Search: edit

• Oracle Workflow Queue: view

• Oracle Metadata Admin: view

  The Metadata Admin portlet is an administration portlet and should be restricted to admin-level users.

Anonymous Users

These security settings are recommended for anonymous users:

• Oracle Guest Library: view

• Oracle Guest Search: view

1.5 Portlet Interface Language

The portlet interface language is set to the client's locale. That is, if the client is using a German language version of an operating system (assuming support by the JVM running the portal server), the CPS portlets will display a German interface.
