Welcome to Oracle WebCenter!
Use this documentation roadmap to find instructions on how to install, upgrade, and/or patch Oracle WebCenter, then perform the necessary configurations. In Figure 1, find the starting point that best describes your current environment, then click the graphic or use the links in Table 1 to jump to the Guide that you need.

Before you start, review the installation roadmap for your installation:
Installing WebCenter for the First Time
Upgrading an Existing WebCenter 11g Installation
Upgrading an Existing WebCenter 10g Installation
Note:
For existing installations, note that upgrades may include new features that will need to be configured as described in the section on New Oracle WebCenter Installations - Roadmaps.The roadmaps in this section provide an overview of the steps required to install Oracle WebCenter and guides you to the documentation. Oracle provides documentation for two installation scenarios:
Simple topology - install Oracle WebCenter in a simple, non-clustered environment. Figure 2 illustrates the installation process for a simple topology.
Enterprise topology - install Oracle WebCenter in a distributed environment with built-in security and high availability. Figure 3 illustrates the installation process for an enterprise topology.
Figure 4 shows post-installation steps required to configure WebCenter components and services that are required for both topologies. Click the flow charts for more information on how to complete each step.
Before you start, you might like to read:

If you want to use WebCenter Spaces as well as build WebCenter Portal applications you must run the RCU twice as both require their own WEBCENTER schema. Schemas for the Discussions service and portlets are also required if you plan to use those services. If you plan on using the Recommendation service, then the Activity Graph product needs to be installed. Note that only one ACTIVITIES schema is allowed per domain, which can be used by both WebCenter Spaces and WebCenter Portal applications. |

Install other Fusion Middleware products: |
Optional |
SOA is mandatory for the Worklist service and WebCenter Spaces Workflows.ECM is mandatory for Content Presenter, and is recommended for the Documents service. OHS is recommended for OCS integration and for SSO (since SSO is needed to stop multiple login prompts), and is required for REST and SOA. |
|
Create new domain for WebCenter or extend an existing domain: |
Mandatory |
Oracle does not recommend deploying WebCenter Portal or WebCenter Producer applications to the Administration Server or any of the default managed servers created during Oracle WebCenter installation. Note: For WebCenter Spaces connections to be automatically configured, the managed server of the target component must have an explicit listening address. If its listening address is empty or null or "localhost", then it must have a system associated to it that has an explicit address. |
