Setting Application Properties for WebCenter Spaces

9-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter

9.5 Setting Search Parameters for WebCenter Applications

Post deployment, administrators can fine-tune search settings to suit their WebCenter application. For example, you can set suitable search timeouts and specify how many search results to return and display. To set search parameters using Fusion MIddleware Control: 1. Login to Fusion Middleware Control, and navigate to the home page for your WebCenter application: Section 6.2, Navigating to the Home Page for WebCenter Spaces . Section 6.3, Navigating to the Home Page for WebCenter Portal Applications .

2. From the WebCenter menu, choose Settings Application Configuration.

3. Configure Search Settings as required.

4. Click Apply.

5. Restart the managed server on which WebCenter Spaces is deployed to effect this change. See Section 8.2, Starting and Stopping Managed Servers for WebCenter Application Deployments .

9.6 Choosing a Channel for Notification Messages in WebCenter Applications

In WebCenter applications, users can subscribe to services and application objects in which they have a particular interest and are subsequently notified of changes and updates that affect their subscribed services and objects. Note: The following steps describe how to set search parameters using Fusion Middleware Control. You can set the same options using WLST commands, for details, see setSearchConfig in Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference. Element Description Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Data Group Specify the Oracle SES data group in which to search. If no value is provided, then everything in the Oracle SES instance is searched. Execution Timeout ms Enter the maximum time that a service is allowed to execute a search in ms.

9.7 Enabling RSS News Feeds in WebCenter Applications

If your WebCenter applications uses a proxy server, you must configure proxy server details to enable RSS news feeds. For more information, see Section 20.3, Setting Up a Proxy Server for External RSS News Feeds .

9.8 Controlling Last Page Accessed Behavior in WebCenter Spaces

Administrators can use the webcenter:rememberLastAccessedPage property in webcenter-config.xml to control whether and how long WebCenter Spaces remembers the last page a given user accessed within a Space. You can choose whether last page accessed information persists within a given session, across sessions, or not to remember. Out-of-the-box, whenever you navigate to a Space, the first page of that Space always displays, that is the last page the user accessed is not remembered. To define last-page-accessed behavior for WebCenter Spaces: 1. Export the latest webcenter-config.xml from MDS. For example: exportMetadataapplication=webcenter, server=WC_Spaces, toLocation=tmpmydata, docs=oraclewebcenterwebcenterappmetadatamdssyscustsitewebcenterwebcen ter-config.xml.xml The webcenter-config.xml file is created the first time you configure General settings through WebCenter Spaces administration. See also, Appendix A.1.3, webcenter-config.xml . 2. Open the file in a text editor and enter the following: webcenter:rememberLastAccessedPagevaluewebcenter:rememberLastAccessedPage 3. For value, enter one of the following values: ■ NEVER—Never remember the last accessed page and, instead, display the first page for the Space. This is the default. ■ WITHIN_SESSION—Remember the last accessed page within the current session, but not across sessions. ■ ACROSS_SESSION—Always remember the last accessed page. 4. Save and close webcenter-config.xml. 5. Import the updated webcenter-config.xml file to WebCenter Spaces. Note: If webcenter:rememberLastAccessedPage is set to NEVER, the Login setting determines the first page that users see when they login to WebCenter Spaces.
