- Our current software and services initiatives for Oracle WebCenter are shown here. We have recently been focused on developing products that provide Oracle WebCenter customers with new ways to contribute content. This includes solutions for Mobile ECM, extending Oracle WebCenter capabilities to iPhone, iPad and Android devices. Additionally, we have products that provide robust batch load capabilities of digital assets and then providing users with interactive ways to tag and group photographs, illustrations, and other creative assets. And our SharePoint connector provides users of both SharePoint and Oracle WebCenter Content with that desired SharePoint front-end collaboration and content contribution backed by the power of Oracle and finally the topic of today’s discussion the Google Search Appliance connector to enable WebCenter customers to harness the power of Google Search within WebCenter Content.
- WebDAV is an open standard that enables Windows-Explorer-like contribution of content into the Content Server. Cost: Conributor license – no client installation.All Metadata WebDAV ClientEnhanced functionality over the standard WebDAV – including, more metadata displayed, images that show status – like Checked out, ability to syndicate data for offline usage – like on a laptop. Cost: Conributor license – client install required.Manual CheckinThis is the most common way to maintain content on a day-to-day basis. The main method for single pieces of content. Cost: Contributor License
- This true/false field turns on and off throttling in EBL. If set to true, EBL will query the content server before doing any actions to see if the number of work in progressitems that exist in the content server exceed the maxItemsAllowedInQueue value. If so, EBL will sleep for the amount of time specified in the sleepTimeInSecondsconfig before trying to perform another action. If the work in progress items that exist in the content server are fewer thanthe maxItemsAllowedInQueue config value,the action (checkin/update/delete) performs normally. Ex: doThrottle=true
- Fishbowl Solutions met with the customer to understand their current CER process and what they wanted out of a new process. To provide the best solution, Fishbowlre-architected the system to improve ease of use, and to better leverage the full capabilities of UCM. To better define the CER workflow process and notification ofreviewers, Fishbowl leveraged their Workflow Solutions Set component that extends UCM out-of-the-box workflow capabilities. To bring the workflow process together inan easy to use interface, Fishbowl created a dashboard view for the CER forms and workflow. The dashboard view allows users to see where the form is in the workflow process, attach related documents to the workflow, see and participate in in-line discussion threads, and provide options around approving, rejecting, or withdrawing the CER form from workflow. All CER forms and their workflow revisions are then made available in UCM and can be found through search. To make searcheven easier for users, Fishbowl created a CER search interface where users can search on metadata associated with CERs. Fishbowl also re-designed the search results interface toencourage easier viewing for users. This new CER process has reduced the burden on IT, and reduced the amount of time executives spend on deciding how andwhere to spend money. An additional benefit is that the Treasury department can quickly report on where money is being spent because all of the information is stored in one repository (UCM). Overall, the new CER process has helped the organization save time, and money.
