Spaces supports automatic configuration of certain Oracle WebCenter
Portal services. Mean, you don’t need to
set discussion, portlet, UCM services etc from the EM manually. This feature is
available from 11G PS3 onward.
The Automatic Service Configuration only worked if the following
conditions are met:
- Spaces and the target component must be installed in the same domain.
- The managed server of the target component must have an explicit listening address. If its listening address is empty or null or "localhost", then it must have a system associated to it that has an explicit address.
- The target component (like discussions, ucm, pagelet etc) must not be deployed to a cluster.
- You must start
the managed servers associated to the WebCenter Portal services first.
Then, start the
WC_Spacesmanaged server.
Currently, automatic Service Configuration is implemented for the following Services:
Component/Service
|
Default
Connection Name
|
Specific Rule
|
Discussions and Announcements
services
|
WebCenterSpaces-Discussions
|
The user granted the Administrative role exists
in discussions.
|
Documents service
|
WebCenterSpaces-ucm
|
|
Pagelet producer
|
WebCenterSpaces-PageletProducer
|
|
Personalization service
|
Conductor-WCPSSpaces
and Properties-WCPSSpaces |
|
Preconfigured portlet producers
|
wc- OmniPortlet
wc-WebClipping wc-WSRPTools |
|
Worklist service and Spaces workflows
|
WebCenterSpaces- Worklist
|
Every time you start Spaces it will try to create the connections unless they already exist. This will be true until the service is configured for the first time unless you disable automatic service configuration. If the automatic configuration fails for a specific component, then you will have to manually configure the service.
You can verify from the EM that service
connections are automatically configured for the Spaces application when you
start the managed servers.
If required, you can disable the auto-configuration feature
by setting the following Java property in domain_home
/bin/setDomainEnv.sh (on UNIX) or domain_home\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd (on Windows). -Dwebcenter.spaces.disableAutoConfigure=true
