WCP 12c: Using WCCDOC Task Flow as Document Preview

Image
One of the biggest changes of Oracle WebCenter Portal 12c has been its integration with Oracle WebCenter Content. All the legacy ADF Bounded Task Flows such as Document Explorer, Document Viewer etc... has been deprecated and replaced with the same component as used by WCC ADF UI. Oracle WebCenter Portal 12c uses a wrapper to WCC ADF UI called Content Manager Task Flow (which internally calls to wccdoc, wccmain and other internal Task Flows used by Oracle WebCenter Content). One of the missing functionalities is how can we preview a Document in WCP 12c as Document Viewer does not exists anymore. In OTN WCP Forum I was asked how to achieve this. It can be achieved with the wccdoc Task Flow ( https://community.oracle.com/thread/4061288 ) There are two choices for accessing a detail of a specific content / document in WCP 12c: Offer a link by using /wccdoc Servlet which will open a Oracle WebCenter Portal page with Content Manager Task Flow pre-loading the specific co

WCP-BPM12c: Process Workspace

Image
In case of you are planning to integrate the BPM Process Workspace in WebCenter Portal in 12c version then read the following :). First of all you need to follow the steps mentioned in the official documentation ( Note that now this information is in the BPM 12c documentation and not in WCP 12c documentation) : BPM 12c - Integrating with Oracle WebCenter Portal Basically you need to: Register a BPEL connection within WebCenter Portal. Restart Portal (then it will use this BPEL connection to create a Worklist Connection as well). You can check all of this connections by using WebCenter Portal WLST Scripts. Add the BPM Resource Catalog as in the Shared Assets of WebCenter Portal Surprisingly the Resource Catalog only offers the Task List and Available Processes Task Flows. I am wondering what happened with Cases and other stuff you can access in the BPM Workspace :/. In 11g version we had the Portal Templates and a complete setup of BPM Task Flows. All of them has been dep

WCP 12c: Automatic switch of the Skin when a Template is selected

Do you like when an Out of the Box Page Template is selected then a Skin is selected automatically?. You can do it with to your custom Page Template / Skins as well. Basically you need to add a property to your Page Template called preferredSkin. Go to the Edit Propertie s of your Page Template and add the preferredSkin (skin-family name). preferredSkin Property for auto-skin selection Now when you select the Page Template then the Skin will be automatically selected as well. This will help your Portal Administrators to do not have headaches looking for the Skin that is more suitable for your Page Template.

WebCenter Portal 12.2.x.x: Performance Bug in VCR services

During my last project of Oracle WebCenter Portal 12c we have found a performance degradation when using Content Presenter. As you know, Content Presenter calls the following services which are coming from PortalVCRHelper component: VCR_GET_CONTENT_TYPES: Returns the list of Content Types which are Profiles and Region Definitions defined in WebCenter Content. VCR_GET_CONTENT_TYPE: Returns specific information of the Content Type. VCR_GET_DOCUMENT_BY_NAME: Returns the information of a DOC_INFO + the Content of the Data File (XML content). On Oracle WebCenter Content 12cR2, Imaging has been embedded into the Content Server as two components: Imaging : Bringing Imaging capabilities to the new Content Manager Task Flow (which is the WCC ADF UI embedded in WebCenter Portal). IpmRepository : The old capabilities of using Imaging as a repository. Imaging executes some filters in Oracle WebCenter Content which degrades the performance of the VCR calls when the number of Profile

Hello everyone and welcome to 2017!. We comeback again to the Blog and not sharing a BUG I have raised to Oracle. The bugs can be tracked as following: Bug 22748849 : System page customization for Welcome Page not working Bug 22921957: - UNCAUGHT SECURITYERROR: FAILED TO EXECUTE 'REPLACESTATE' ON 'HISTORY' ON PAGELOA Summary of the Bug: "If you customise the Login Page then a JavaScript error will happen in the ADF JS boot.js. This error will block you to try to login again after a first fail attempt which is quite annoying. In addition, restoring the Welcome Page to the default one will not fix the issue". ADF JS Error Basically, the steps to reproduce it are the following: 1. Go to http://wcp.vm.oracle.com/webcenter/system/welcome.jsp 2. Enter wrong password and then sign in 3. It will redirect to http://wcp.vm.oracle.com/webcenter/system/login.jsp?login_fail=true 4. Try now to re-enter the password and I am logged in. 5. Go to A
