39.1 About the Oracle DOCS Content Manager Task Flow

The Oracle DOCS Content Manager task flow enables you to integrate Oracle Content and Experience Cloud with WebCenter Portal, so that end users can quickly access documents in Oracle Content and Experience Cloud. Users can add, view, manage, share documents and collaborate in Oracle Content and Experience Cloud with robust security within WebCenter Portal.

The Oracle DOCS Content Manager task flow:

• Provides convenient and secure access to Oracle Content and Experience Cloud within WebCenter Portal.

• Allows collaboration with external non-WebCenter Portal users.

  If external non-WebCenter Portal users want to share documents with WebCenter Portal users, they can use Oracle Content and Experience Cloud to allow access to those documents from within a portal in WebCenter Portal.

  For example, suppose marketing assets created by design agencies and some partner information need to be shared with WebCenter Portal users. However, the marketing agencies and partners have Oracle Content and Experience Cloud accounts but not WebCenter Portal accounts. If marketing assets and partner documents are shared on Oracle Content and Experience Cloud, WebCenter Portal users can access the documents from a portal that includes the Oracle DOCS Content Manager task flow.

For more information on how to use Oracle Content and Experience Cloud in a portal, see Working with Oracle Content and Experience Cloud in Oracle Fusion Middleware Using Oracle WebCenter Portal.

39.2 Adding the Oracle DOCS Content Manager Task Flow to a Page

As an application specialist or portal manager, you can add the Oracle DOCS Content Manager task flow to a page, so that the end users can work with documents in Oracle Content and Experience Cloud.

To add the Oracle DOCS Content Manager task flow to a page:

1. Ensure that your system administrator has added the WebCenter domain in Oracle Content and Experience Cloud and registered Oracle Content and Experience Cloud with WebCenter Portal. For more information, see Integrating with Oracle Content and Experience Cloud in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle WebCenter Portal.
2. Open the page in which you want to add the task flow in the page editor (see Opening a Page in the Page Editor).
3. Click Add Content to open the resource catalog.
4. Click Content Management, then Oracle DOCS Content Manager to add the task flow.

5. Save the page.

   Note:

   If your system administrator has not configured the default Oracle Content and Experience Cloud URL connection, an error message is reported:

   To access Oracle Documents Cloud Service, you must specify a valid DOCS URL in taskflow parameters.
   

   Contact your system administrator to add a default Oracle Content and Experience Cloud connection or customize the URL as described in Customizing the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud URL Connection.

39.3 Customizing the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud URL Connection

Your system administrator defines a default URL connection. For more information, see Creating a Default Oracle Content and Experience Cloud Connection Using WSLT in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle WebCenter Portal. If the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud URL connection is configured as the default connection, WebCenter Portal provides direct access to the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud home directory.

If you want to connect to a different URL, or access your favorite folder or preview a file directly from WebCenter Portal, you can customize the URL connection.

To customize the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud URL connection:

1. Open the page that contains an Oracle DOCS Content Manager task flow in the page editor (see Opening a Page in the Page Editor).
2. In the Oracle DOCS Content Manager task flow, click the View Actions menu, then select Parameters to open the Parameters dialog.

39.4.2 Oracle DOCS Content Manager Task Flow Parameters

Table 39-1 describes the parameters that are unique to the Oracle DOCS Content Manager task flow.

Table 39-1 Oracle DOCS Content Manager Task Flow Parameters

Parameter	Description
DOCS Display Theme	Specifies the background theme for the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud. The available values are: light dark transparent light transparent dark
DOCS Folder Path	Specifies the relative or absolute path of the document folder. To customize the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud URL connection, specify the folder path that you choose to connect. You can specify absolute path of the folder starting with http:// . Ensure that you add /embed/folder/home in the URL after /documents to navigate to the home directory of Oracle Content and Experience Cloud. For example: URL for home directory: http://<host>:<port>/documents/embed/folder/home URL for a folder: http://<host>:<port>/documents/embed/folder/<folder_id> URL for a document: http://<host>:<port>/documents/embed/fileview/<file_id> Where, <host>:<port> is the host and port of the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud. Note: If you specify absolute folder path, the specified path is used for the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud connection and does not look for the default connection specified by your system administrator. You can specify the relative path of the file in DOCS Folder Path. For example: URL for a folder: /folder/<folder_id>/<_Foldername>/nameasc URL for a file: /fileview/<file_id>/<_filename.ext> Note: If you specify the relative path, the specified path is relative to the default Oracle Content and Experience Cloud connection specified by your system administrator. If you do not specify DOCS Folder Path and prefer to leave it blank, the default connection specified by your system administrator is used for the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud connection.
