Installing and Configuring Oracle Universal Content Management 9-17
9.15.1.2 Installation Steps
You can configure a Content Server with one or more Inbound Refinery instances, and the same Inbound Refinery can act as a provider to one or more Content Servers. For
information on configuring Inbound Refinery instances, refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator’s Guide for Conversion.
To install and configure Inbound Refineries:
1. Use the Configuration Wizard that was used to create Oracle UCM.
2. Select the option for installing the Inbound Refinery.
3. Create one or more Inbound Refinery Managed Servers.
4. Create a cluster and add all the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers to the cluster.
5. Ensure that each Inbound Refinery Managed Server resides on a separate machine.
When finished, follow the Configuration steps in Section 9.15.2
for EVERY Inbound Refinery created.
An Inbound Refinery needs only to be accessed once through HTTP in order to initialize its configuration. This can be done directly, at the Managed Servers listen
address. An Inbound Refinery should not be placed behind an HTTP Server.
All subsequent access to an Inbound Refinery is through the socket listener. This listener is protected through the Incoming Socket Connection Address Security Filter
configured in the next section.
9.15.2 Configuring Inbound Refinery
Oracle recommends configuring each Content Server with all Inbound Refineries. The process for configuring Oracle UCM is to add an Inbound Refinery as a provider.
There are also post-installation steps that must be performed with the IBR.
The following sections describe the procedures for post-installation configuration of the Inbound Refinery:
■
Section 9.15.2.1, Configure Inbound Refinery settings
■
Section 9.15.2.2, Configure Document Conversion
■
Section 9.15.2.3, Configuring Oracle UCM with the Inbound Refinery
9.15.2.1 Configure Inbound Refinery settings
Access the IBR post-installation configuration screen at the following URL: http:IBRHOST:portibr
1. Select a socket port, for example, 5555.
This port is used later when configuring Oracle UCM.
2. For Incoming Socket Connection Address Security Filter, add the IP addresses of
all the Oracle UCM hosts.
3. Take note of the value for Server Instance Name, you will need it later in the
process. You can change it to a more useful name, if you wish.
Note: See
Section 7.8, Configuring WebLogic Servers to Use the Custom Keystores
for configuring Inbound Refinery Servers to use Custom Keystores.
9-18 Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle WebCenter
4.
Restart the IBR server. Log onto the Inbound Refinery at the following URL:
http:IBRHOST:portibr
1. Select Administration, and then Admin Server.
a. Enable PDFExportConverter.
b. Click Update.
c.
Bounce the server.
d. 2.
Select Conversion Settings, Primary Web Renditions, and then check Convert to PDF using PDF Export
.
3. Select Conversion Settings, Additional Renditions, and then check Create
Thumbnail Images using Outside In .
4. Select Conversion Settings, Third Party Application Settings, General OutsideIn
Filter Options
, and then select Options.
When you select Options, a separate pop-up window appears.
a. Set the Path to fonts to the fonts on the IBR system.
For many conversions, the IBR needs access to a directory with usable TrueType fonts. On a Windows machine, the default Windows fonts in
C:\WINDOWS\Fonts will work. On a Linux machine, you may have fonts in a directory, for example: usrshareX11fontsTTF.
b. Select Use internal graphics rendering under UNIX Rendering Options.
c. Click Update.
When finished, restart the Administration server and all Inbound Refineries, then follow the configuration steps.
9.15.2.2 Configure Document Conversion
Once Inbound Refineries and Content Server are installed and deployed, additional configuration steps are needed before the Content Server sends jobs to the IBR for
conversion. This is a brief outline; For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrators Guide for Oracle Content Server.
Select primary web-viewable conversion Go to Conversion Settings and select Primary Web Rendition. This page selects
which conversion IBR attempts to perform on files it receives from a Content Server. The conversions available depend on which components are enabled on the IBR. With
no components, the only option is Convert to multi-page Tiff using Outside In. If no conversions are selected, files are not converted. To select conversions, select them and
click Update.
