21.5 Configuring Oracle SES to Search WebCenter Portal Applications

With WebCenter Portal applications, Oracle SES is set as the default and preferred search platform. Configuring Oracle SES to search WebCenter Portal applications requires similar steps to configuring Oracle SES to search WebCenter Spaces applications, but WebCenter Portal applications do not support the Oracle WebCenter Spaces Crawler. This section describes the steps to set up Oracle SES to search WebCenter Portal applications: ■ Section 21.5.1, Setting Up Oracle Content Server for Oracle SES Search ■ Section 21.5.2, Setting Up Oracle WebCenter Discussions for Oracle SES Search ■ Section 21.5.3, Setting Up Oracle SES to Search WebCenter ■ Section 21.5.4, Setting Up WebCenter for Oracle SES Search

21.5.1 Setting Up Oracle Content Server for Oracle SES Search

This section describes how to configure Oracle Content Server to be crawlable by Oracle SES in particular, the Oracle Content Server that WebCenter uses for storing documents. The following steps must be done from within Oracle Content Server. 1. Create the role sescrawlerrole. 2. Create the user sescrawler, and assign it the admin role and the sescrawlerrole role. This user creates the Oracle Content Server source in Oracle SES. 3. Add sceCrawlerRole=sescrawlerrole to config.cfg. 4. Restart Oracle Content Server. 5. In the Oracle Content Server console, install the SESCrawlerExport component on the content server, if not done: a. Log on to Oracle Content Server as a system administrator. For example: http:host:portcs.

b. From the Administration dropdown menu, select Admin Server

Figure 21–8 . Note: For an overview of the tasks that must be performed to enable Oracle SES as the search engine in WebCenter Portal applications, see Section 21.2, Configuration Roadmaps for Oracle SES in WebCenter. There may be various acceptable ways and orders to perform the required tasks.

c. Click the button with the instance name.

d. Click Component Manager from the menu list on the left pane

Figure 21–9 . Figure 21–9 Oracle Content Server Component Manager e. Select SESCrawlerExport under Integration and click Update.

f. Enter configuration parameters. You can change configuration parameters

after installation. Disable security on authentication and authorization APIs provided by the SESCrawlerExport; that is, set Disable Secure APIs to false. This lets security provided by the SESCrawlerExport be done internally instead of by the content server. Additionally, in clustered environments only, the feedLoc parameter must specify a location on the shared disk accessed by the nodes of content server, and they each must reference it the same way; for example, sharedDrivedir1dir2. Note that this is not the default location relative path provided.

g. Restart Oracle Content Server.
