See the Oracle WebCenter Content System Administrator's Guide for Content Server for details about restarting the system and rebuilding the index from the Repository Manager.
Important:
If File Store Provider is needed to check in templates for the Records system, you must set up the File Store Provider first and then check in the templates. See the Oracle WebCenter Content System Administrator's Guide for Content Server for details about using File Store Provider.Selecting any option in this list displays a detailed explanation of the option's purpose. Other options may also be available, depending on the installation being performed.

If you plan to configure the Records Management feature in Content Server, you need to add the oracle.xdo.runtime.ear
library manually.
For complete details on the configuration process, see the Oracle WebCenter Content Installation Guide.
Follow these instructions to load the library from the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console after the server node is created for Oracle WebCenter Content.
From the Integrated Solutions Console, click Shared Libraries under Environment, on the left.
In the shared libraries display, select the scope value as the Oracle WebCenter Content node that needs the library.
If the oracle.xdo.runtime.ear
library does not already exist in the Shared Libraries list, click New, and enter these values:
Name=oracle.xdo.runtime_1_11.1.1.3.0 Classpath= WC_CONTENT_ORACLE_HOME/ucm/idc/components/ReportPublisher/lib/APP-INF/lib
Click Apply.
In the Servers section on the left, under Server Types, click WebSphere application servers.
In the table on the Application servers screen, click Oracle WebCenter Content.
In the installed applications display, click WebCenter Content.
In the application configuration display, under References, click Shared library references.
Select the Oracle WebCenter Content application, and click the Reference Shared Libraries button.
In the Shared Library Mapping display, select oracle.xdo.runtime_1_11.1.1.3.0 on the left, move the selection to the right, and click OK.
In the Reference Shared Libraries display, click OK.
Under Messages at the top, click Save to save the local configuration to the master configuration.
Follow these instructions to configure the library from the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console after creating the domain that includes the WebCenter Content Managed Server and before starting it for the first time. You also need to add a reference to this library in the weblogic-application.xml file of the WebCenter Content EAR file before starting the Managed Server.
After a domain is created, start only the Administration Server. If the WebCenter Content Managed Server has already been started, then you will have to perform additional steps to add a reference to the deployed WebCenter Content instance later.
Open the Administration Console in browser, click Deployments on the left, and browse the pages to check if there is already an oracle.xdo.runtime
file. If it is already present, then no more steps need to be performed.
If the file does not already exist, click Install on the Deployments display. A file selection dialog opens. Browse the available file system, and select oracle.xdo.runtime
in the following path:
MW_HOME/WC_CONTENT_ORACLE_HOME/ucm/idc/components/ReportPublisher/lib/oracle.xdo.runtime.ear
Click Next. The option page to select the file as library opens. Select Install this deployment as a library, and click Next.
The Target Selection Screen opens. Select all targets, and click Next.
The Deployment Name screen opens. In the Security section, select DD Only: Use only roles and policies that are defined in the deployment descriptors. In the Source accessibility section, select Copy this application onto every target for me, and click Next.
In the Additional Configuration section, select Yes, Take me to the deployment's configuration screen, and click Finish. The library is now deployed in the environment.
This page is used to set many of the configuration options for the system. When initially opened, the options on this page are unexpanded. To expand an option, click the plus sign next to the section name.

|
Log Metadata Changes | If selected, enables tracking item-level metadata changes. Default: enabled. |
Enable Category Dispositions Review | If selected, enables the workflow to review category dispositions. The workflow must be set up prior to enabling. |

Enabling the icon allows administrators to use a method to easily highlight items with specific qualities, such as when a deletion is restricted or when revisions are restricted. Options include:
|
ACL-based security | If selected, enables security based on Access Control Lists (ACLs) and enables the Group and User Permissions fields on pages where ACLs can be created to assign security permissions. The initial default is dependent on the features enabled. If DoD Baseline or DoD Classified is enabled, this feature is enabled. |
Default Content Server security on Retention Schedule objects | If selected, enables default security on retention categories, record folders, and triggers. Default: enabled.
IMPORTANT: If your organization requires a change to this feature after your production environment is running, call Technical Support for assistance. |
Supplemental Markings | If selected, enables supplemental marking security on content, record folders, and users. This must be selected to enforce user matching of at least one supplemental marking.
Default: enabled. |

This right is assigned by default to the predefined Records Officer and Records Administrator role. The user must also have the highest security setting (for example, Top Secret).
When selected, records with a publication date plus the Maximum years before declassifying value that is less than the current date are automatically declassified. NOTE: If this is set to 0 and auto-computation of declassification dates is chosen, any classified items currently in the system are set to declassified. Default: not enabled. |
Important:
Enabling or disabling ACLs affects existing ACL settings system-wide. For example, if ACLs are enabled in Oracle WebCenter Content and the Records system is configured to one of the DoD settings (which re-enables ACLs), the Oracle WebCenter Content ACLs are overridden. And if the Typical or Minimal Oracle WebCenter Content: Records settings are used, ACLs are disabled because ACL-based security is not enabled by default for those options. It is enabled by default for the DoD options.This page is used to configure many aspects of Physical Content Management.

The menu items available to users depend on the rights they have been assigned.
