9.1 Setting Application Properties for WebCenter Spaces

The WebCenter Spaces home page in Fusion Middleware Control is your starting place for configuring WebCenter Spaces deployments. Just like any other J2EE application, you can configure ADF, MDS, security policies and roles, and so on, from here. You can also configure WebCenter service connections, external applications, and portlet producers for WebCenter Spaces. To access this page, see Section 6.2, Navigating to the Home Page for WebCenter Spaces . Additionally, there are several application-level settings for configuring Space-related workflows and Oracle SES search crawling in WebCenter Spaces. Application settings are described in the following sections: ■ Section 9.3, Specifying the BPEL Server Hosting WebCenter Spaces Workflows ■ Section 9.4, Configuring Search Crawlers for WebCenter Applications ■ Section 9.5, Setting Search Parameters for WebCenter Applications 9-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter ■ Section 9.6, Choosing a Channel for Notification Messages in WebCenter Applications ■ Section 9.7, Enabling RSS News Feeds in WebCenter Applications ■ Section 9.8, Controlling Last Page Accessed Behavior in WebCenter Spaces ■ Section 9.9, Exposing WebCenter Spaces Templates From a Previous Release

9.2 Setting Application Properties for WebCenter Portal Applications

The J2EE Application Deployment home page in Fusion Middleware Control is your starting place for configuring WebCenter Portal application deployments developed with Oracle WebCenter Framework. Just like any other J2EE application, you can configure ADF, MDS, security policies and roles, and so on, from here. You can also configure WebCenter service connections, external applications, and portlet producers. To access this page, see Section 6.3, Navigating to the Home Page for WebCenter Portal Applications . Additionally, there are several application-level settings for configuring Space-related workflows and Oracle SES search crawling in WebCenter Spaces. Application settings are described in the following sections: ■ Section 9.4, Configuring Search Crawlers for WebCenter Applications ■ Section 9.5, Setting Search Parameters for WebCenter Applications ■ Section 9.6, Choosing a Channel for Notification Messages in WebCenter Applications ■ Section 9.7, Enabling RSS News Feeds in WebCenter Applications See also, Appendix A.4, Tuning Oracle WebCenter Performance .

9.3 Specifying the BPEL Server Hosting WebCenter Spaces Workflows

WebCenter Spaces uses the BPEL server included with the Oracle SOA Suite to host internal workflows, such as Space membership notifications, Space subscription requests, and so on. To enable workflow functionality inside WebCenter Spaces, a connection to this BPEL server is required. To configure a connection to the WebCenter Space workflows: 1. Login to Fusion Middleware Control, and navigate to the home page for WebCenter Spaces. See Section 6.2, Navigating to the Home Page for WebCenter Spaces .

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

Note: WebCenter Spaces workflows must be deployed on the SOA managed server that WebCenter Spaces is configured to use. See also, Back-End Requirements for WebCenter Spaces Workflows in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebCenter. Setting WebCenter Application Properties 9-3 Figure 9–1 Choosing the BPEL Server Where WebCenter Spaces Workflows are Deployed

3. From the Connection Name dropdown, choose the name of the connection you

require. The connections on offer are those currently configured for the Worklist service in WebCenter Spaces. Ensure that you choose the connection that points to the SOA instance in which WebCenter Spaces workflows are deployed. If that connection is not listed you must create it. To define the connection, see Section 22.4, Setting Up Worklist Connections .

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 .

9.4 Configuring Search Crawlers for WebCenter Applications

Post deployment, administrators can configure search crawlers for their WebCenter application. WebCenter Spaces and WebCenter Portal applications can both use Oracle Secure Enterprise Search SES or WebCenter’s own search adapters. Search crawler configuration for WebCenter Spaces is slightly different to other WebCenter Portal applications, so ensure that you follow the appropriate documentation for your application. WebCenter Spaces Out-of-the-box, WebCenter Spaces uses its own WebCenter Search service for searching and returning WebCenter Spaces content. If preferred, you can use Oracle Secure Enterprise Search SES to search and return unified results for most WebCenter Spaces resources, including documents, discussions, announcements, Spaces, lists, pages, wikis and blogs. To set up Oracle SES searching, see Section 21.6, Configuring Oracle SES to Search WebCenter Spaces Applications . WebCenter Portal Applications By default, WebCenter Portal applications are configured to use Oracle SES crawlers. If you do not want to use Oracle SES you can specify that WebCenter’s own search adapters are used instead. For details, see Section 21.5, Configuring Oracle SES to Search WebCenter Portal Applications . 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. Executor Preparation Timeout ms Enter the maximum time that a service is allowed to initialize a search in ms. Results per Service - Saved Search Task Flows Enter the number of search results displayed, per service, in a Saved Search task flow. Results per Service - Search Page Enter the number of search results displayed, per service, for searches submitted from the main search page. Users can click Show All if they want to see all the results. Number of Saved Searches in Search Page Enter the number of saved searches displayed in the Saved Search list on the main search page.
