18.2 Setting Up a Notifications Connection Type

This section provides an overview of messaging connection types, describes prerequisites that must be in place before you can define a connection type, and steps you through the process of setting a connection type for Notifications. It includes the following subsections: ■ Section 18.2.1, What You Should Know About Connection Types ■ Section 18.2.2, Notification Prerequisites ■ Section 18.2.3, Setting the Connection Type for Notifications Using Fusion Middleware Control ■ Section 18.2.4, Setting the Connection Type for Notifications Using WLST Table 18–6 Effect of Subscription Configurations for Spaces Management subscription-enabled end-user-configurable Effect true true ■ The subscribing user receives a notification message when the user’s Space membership role changes, the user is added as a member of a Space, or the user is removed as a member of a Space. ■ The user can change this default. true false ■ The subscribing user receives a notification message when the user’s Space membership role changes, the user is added as a member of a Space, or the user is removed as a member of a Space. ■ The user cannot change this default. false true ■ The subscribing user does not receive a notification message when the user’s Space membership role changes, the user is added as a member of a Space, or the user is removed as a member of a Space. ■ The user can change this default. false false ■ The subscribing user does not receive a notification message when the user’s Space membership role changes, the user is added as a member of a Space, or the user is removed as a member of a Space. ■ The option for changing this default is hidden.

18.2.1 What You Should Know About Connection Types

The Notifications connection type determines the messaging channels that are available to users when they configure their own messaging preferences for Notifications in WebCenter Spaces. Use one of two possible connection types: ■ BPEL Server provides three messaging channel options to users: mail, texting SMS, and Worklist ■ Mail Server delivers notification messages exclusively through a mail server that is configured for the WebCenter Spaces application Selection of a BPEL server presupposes that you have established a connection with a BPEL server in which the User Messaging Service UMS is available. For information about connecting to a BPEL server, see Chapter 22, Managing the Worklist Service. When the WebCenter Spaces application has setSpacesWorkFlowConnectionName set up, the Manage Configuration button becomes available on the Messaging panel in the WebCenter Spaces Preferences dialog. Selection of a mail server presupposes that you have established a connection with a mail server. Additionally, the external application associated with the mail server connection must contain shared credentials. For information about connecting to a mail server, see Chapter 17, Managing the Mail Service. When Mail Server is the selected connection type, the Manage Configuration button on the Messaging panel in the WebCenter Spaces Preferences dialog may or may not be grayed-out. This depends on whether you have set up spacesWorkFlowConnection. But, regardless, when Mail Server is the selected connection type, if clicking the Manage Configuration button for Messaging preferences opens User Messaging Preferences, any changes you make are ignored.

18.2.2 Notification Prerequisites

Before you can define a connection type for Notifications, you must take the steps and consider the information provided in the following subsections: ■ Section 18.2.2.1, Installation ■ Section 18.2.2.2, Configuration ■ Section 18.2.2.3, Security ■ Section 18.2.2.4, Limitations

18.2.2.1 Installation

Installation requirements associated with Notifications change according to the type of connection you plan to select for Notifications messaging. Tip: It is expected that the same connection you use for setSpacesWorkFlowConnectionName is used for Notifications, provided you use the BPEL Server for notifications.
