You can use the Advanced Component Manager to enable or disable components. To enable or disable components: 1. Click Administration on the portal navigation bar for your Oracle Content Server instance.

2. Click Admin Server

The Admin Server displays the Component Manager page.

3. In the first paragraph of the Component Manager page, click advanced

component manager . 4. You can select individual components in this lists of enabled and disabled server components to view details about each component, and you can select categories of components to view. You can enable and disable components on this page, plus install and deinstall custom components.

5.2.4 Configuring Oracle Content Server for IBM DB2 Database Searches

An IBM DB2 database does not support the keyword CONTAINS in search queries. The correct configuration of an Oracle Content Server instance for IBM DB2 searches requires the addition of the flag SSUseContains=false on the General Configuration page and a restart of Oracle Content Server. To configure IBM DB2 database searches in Oracle Content Server: 1. Open a new browser window, and log in to Oracle Content Server as a system administrator with the sysmanager role.

2. Under Administration, click Admin Server.

3. On the Content Admin Server page, click the name of an Oracle Content Server instance. The status page for the selected Oracle Content Server instance is displayed.

4. In the option list for the Oracle Content Server instance, click General

Configuration . The General Configuration page is displayed. 5. Near the bottom of the page, add the following line to the Additional Configuration Variables box: SSUseContains=false

6. Click Save.

7. Restart Oracle Content Server, as described in Section 10.3, Restarting a Managed Server.

5.2.5 Configuring Microsoft SQL Server to Work with Oracle UCM

Before you can use Microsoft SQL Server with Oracle UCM, you need to turn on snapshot isolation in the database. If you plan to use SQL Server for the back-end database for Oracle Imaging and Process Management Oracle IPM and Oracle SOA Suite, you also need to configure the Metadata Services MDS repository in the database and then create an MDS schema with Repository Creation Utility RCU. 5-8 Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite The prerequisite SQL Server configurations for Oracle UCM and the MDS repository follow: 1. Log in to the database with a user name that has DBA privileges and does not have multiple logins on the database. Multiple logins for the DBA would result in a lock error. 2. Alter the database to turn on the ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION option, with this command: ALTER DATABASE dbname SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON 3. Alter the database to turn on the READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT option, with this command: ALTER DATABASE MDS SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON For information about creating an MDS schema with RCU, see Section 2.2, Creating Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite Schemas. For more information about supported databases, see Section 2.1.1, Database Prerequisites.

5.3 Configuring Oracle Text Search for Oracle Content Server

The Oracle Text Search feature enables the use of Oracle Text 11g as the primary full-text search engine for Oracle UCM. Oracle Text 11g offers state-of-the-art indexing capabilities and provides the underlying search capabilities for Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Oracle SES. Oracle Text Search enables administrators to specify certain metadata fields to be optimized for the search index as well as to customize additional fields. This feature also enables a fast index rebuild and index optimization. Before you can use Oracle Text Search, you need to run Repository Creation Utility RCU to create a search schema prefix_OCSSEARCH in an Oracle Database instance, create a data source that points to the search schema, and then use the Administration Console to target the data source to the Oracle UCM Managed Server UCM_server1 by default. For information about creating a schema, see Chapter 2, Creating Schemas for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite. To search auxiliary metadata in Oracle URM with Oracle Text, you must configure Oracle Content Server to use Oracle Text Search as the search engine. You can set Oracle Text Search on the Oracle UCM postinstallation configuration page or in the configuration file. You can change the configuration of the full-text search option to Oracle Text Search in the config.cfg configuration file. Oracle Text Search supports the use of Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Oracle SES 11g as the primary full-text search engine for Oracle UCM. If you have a license to use Oracle SES, you can configure it for use with Oracle Text Search on Oracle UCM and configure Oracle Content Server to use Oracle SES as its back-end search engine. For more information, see Oracle Secure Enterprise Search in Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrators Guide for Oracle Content Server. You can configure Oracle Text Search on the postinstallation configuration page for Oracle Content Server, which Figure 5–1 shows, by selecting Internal or External in the FullText Search Option field. If you select the External option, you must provide the name of the external data source in the External DataSource field. For more information about these fields, see Section 5.2.2, Configuring the Oracle Content Server Instance.
