The following roadmap helps to guide you through the process: ■ Section 5.1, System Administration for WebCenter Portal Applications Roadmap Although WebCenter Spaces is itself a WebCenter application, it does require some special maintenance tasks that WebCenter Portal applications do not. To see a comprehensive list of these tasks, refer to Chapter 3, Maintaining WebCenter Spaces . Audience The content of this chapter is intended for Fusion Middleware administrators responsible for WebCenter Portal application administration users granted the Admin role through the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

5.1 System Administration for WebCenter Portal Applications Roadmap

The roadmap in Table 5–1 outlines typical tasks that a Fusion Middleware administrator might perform to keep a WebCenter Portal application up and running. If the WebCenter Portal application must temporarily shut down for maintenance, ensure that a suitable message displays to any users who attempt to access the application while it is offline. Table 5–1 Roadmap - Maintaining WebCenter Portal Applications Tasks Documentation Role Stop and start the managed server Restart the managed server on which the WebCenter Portal application is deployed to effect configuration changes or for routine maintenance: ■ Starting and Stopping Managed Servers for WebCenter Application Deployments Fusion Middleware Admin Stop and start the WebCenter Portal application Shut down the application for maintenance purposes and then restart the application: ■ Starting and Stopping WebCenter Portal Applications Fusion Middleware Admin Maintain back-end services Add, modify, and delete connections through the Fusion Middleware Control Console: Fusion Middleware Admin 5-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter ■ Content Repositories ■ Managing Content Repositories ■ Mail Servers ■ Managing the Mail Service ■ BPEL Servers ■ Managing the Worklist Service ■ Collaboration Services ■ Managing the Announcements and Discussions Services ■ Managing the Instant Messaging and Presence Service ■ Secure Enterprise Search ■ Managing Oracle SES Search in WebCenter ■ Analytics Services ■ Managing the Analytics Service ■ Activity Graph Services ■ Managing the Activity Graph Service ■ Personalization Services ■ Managing WebCenter Personalization Maintain external applications and portlet producers Add, modify, and delete connections through Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console.
