Extending the Domain to Install Oracle WebCenter Product Components

3-6 Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebCenter

3.1.8.1 Extending the Domain to Install Oracle WebCenter Product Components

You can extend your existing WebCenter domain to install additional WebCenter products listed in Table 3–2 . When you run the Configuration Wizard to extend the domain, you must select Generate a domain configured automatically to support the following products on the Select Domain Source screen, then select the products you want to add to the domain Figure 3–1 . Refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Interoperability and Compatibility Guide for important information. Follow the instructions in Extending WebLogic Domains in Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Domains Using the Configuration Wizard to extend an existing domain. Note: Oracle WebCenter relies on the MDS schema. Depending on the WebCenter components used in your WebCenter applications, your WebCenter installation may also require the following schemas: WEBCENTER , DISCUSSIONS, ACTIVITIES, and PORTLET. ■ MDS : WebCenter applications can share the same MDS schema. This means that multiple deployed applications can use the same MDS schema, each having its own partition defined in MDS. ■ WEBCENTER : There must be a distinct WEBCENTER schema for each WebCenter Portal application. ■ DISCUSSIONS : Two WebCenter Portal applications, both using Discussions, can use a single Discussions Server. The Discussions Server is wired to a single DISCUSSIONS schema. The only thing that must be unique is the category ID, which is set for each WebCenter Portal application when the Discussion Forum connection is configured. For information about setting the category ID, see how to set application.root.category.id using setDiscussionForumServiceProperty, in the Oracle WebCenter Custom WLST Commands chapter in Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference. ■ ACTIVITIES : Analytics and Activity Graph can be used only by a single application within a domain, whether it is Oracle WebCenter Spaces or a WebCenter Portal application. ■ PORTAL : Many WebCenter producer applications can be deployed to a single Custom Services Producer managed server. WebCenter Producer applications can share a single PORTLET schema. For information about the various schemas that your WebCenter applications may require, see Table 5–1 . For information about how to create schemas, refer to Creating Schemas in Oracle Fusion Middleware Repository Creation Utility Users Guide. Note: Before extending a domain, make sure that schemas exist in your database for the components you plan to configure. For example, if you are planning to extend the domain and configure Oracle WebCenter Discussion Server, then make sure the DISCUSSIONS schema exists in your Oracle database before you continue.
