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 Profiles is big enough. This component cannot be disabled as is mandatory for Content Manager Task Flow.

For example, if you have 40 Profiles and 8 Region Definitions the times can be like the following ones:
  • VCR_GET_CONTENT_TYPES around 12-16 seconds to execute
  • VCR_GET_DOCUMENT_BY_NAME: around 2-4 seconds each one
In case of having in the Home Page of your Portal 12 Data Files it is translated to: 16 + 12*4 = 64 seconds to load the Home Page!!.

This bug has been solved after working hard with Oracle Support and exists already a patch :).

Patch 25528107: Slow performance from VCR_GET_CONTENT_TYPES when IPM components are enabled

It will reduce the latency of calling VCR services. However, never forget to Configure Coherence cache as suggested by the A-Team for reduce the VCR calls as much as possible :).

OJET: Inter-Module communication in TypeScript Template

Image
In this post I bring another example on how to Communicate Modules using the Oracle JET - TypeScript Template based on the Oracle JET Cookbook: InterModule Communication From now and so on will create multiple examples using TypeScript for those who are not familiar with it and wants to turn the Cookbook examples into TypeScript :). The example ( ojet-typescript-list-detail ) can be found as usual in my GitHub repository: https://github.com/DanielMerchan/ojet-examples This example is a bit different compared to the Cookbook example where the modules are not running at the same time within a Module. This example is built as described in the following images: Customers module acts as the Wrapper Module. It coordinates when to load the list and detail modules. Customers module makes use also of signals npm module for communication between Customers-List, Customers-Detail. Explanation of the Example customers.js is the coordinator responsible module for: initiali

OJET: Build and Deploy in an Application Server

Image
There are some other sources where an Oracle JET Application is packaged and deployed as a WAR in Oracle WebLogic Application Server (Arda Eralp) https://blogs.oracle.com/ardaeralp/deploy-oracle-jet-application-to-weblogic-server (Andrejus Baranovski's) http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2016/07/serving-oracle-jet-application-from.html They may look bit old or maybe because they call directly grunt tasks by using the grunt-cli . In this post I will update a bit these posts in Oracle JET 6.1.0 and the usage of ojet build (instead of calling the grunt tasks) for also building the corresponding WAR file. The example can be found in my GIT repository: https://github.com/DanielMerchan/ojet-examples Let's start... Install grunt-war module in your Oracle JET Application. npm install grunt-war --save-dev Create a war.js (or call it whatever you want) in /scripts/grunt/config folder under your souce files. This is a sample code inside of it, check https://www.npmjs.com/packag

OJET: Select All options using only Checkboxset

Image
This is an example on how to select all other options by using another oj-checkboxset. GitHub: ojet-checkbockset-select-all The idea is to keep track of the selection and make use of the on-value-changed as described in the following code. self.colorOptions = ko.observableArray([ { id: "blueopt", value: "blue", color: "Blue" }, { id: "greenopt", value: "green", color: "Green" }, { id: "redopt", value: "red", color: "Red" }, { id: "limeopt", value: "lime", color: "Lime" }, { id: "aquaopt", value: "aqua", color: "Aqua" }, ]); self.selectAll = ko.observableArray([]); self.currentColor = ko.observableArray(["red"]); self.selectAllOptionChanged = (event) => { const newSelection = event.detail.value; if (newSelection.indexOf('all')
