11 Managing the Oracle Content DB Site

The Oracle Content DB Site is an organizational entity that is used to manage settings for all Oracle Content DB users. The Site has an allocated quota that specifies the amount of content (in MB, GB, or TB) that can be stored in the Site.

You can use the Application Server Control to modify settings for the Site. You can also grant the Security Administrator role to a particular Site user.

This chapter provides information about the following topics:

• About the Oracle Content DB Site

• Modifying Site Settings

• Granting the Security Administrator Role

About the Oracle Content DB Site

There are a designated set of application administrators for the Site who can manage quota, specify Site settings, and perform other tasks. The application administration roles include the User Administrator, Content Administrator, and Quota Administrator. For more information about the application administrator roles and tasks, see Oracle Content Database Application Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Suite.

The Site has an allocated quota that specifies the amount of content (in MB, GB, or TB) that can be stored in the Site. When the quota consumed by the Site reaches 95 percent of the allocated quota, an e-mail notification is sent to the administrator e-mail address, and to any users of the Site with the Quota Administrator role. The administrator e-mail address is specified in the IFS.DOMAIN.EMAIL. AdministratorAddress domain property. See "Changing Domain Properties" for information about how to specify this administrator e-mail address.

Quota warning e-mail notifications are only sent if you have configured an SMTP server for use with Oracle Content DB. see "Enabling Oracle Content DB Error Reporting and Site Quota Warning Notifications" for more information.

Quota warning e-mail notifications are issued by the Cleanup Agent. You can change the properties of this agent to adjust the warning threshold, or to specify whether files in the Archive count against Site quota. See "Cleanup Agent" for more information about these properties.

Modifying Site Settings

You can change settings for the Site, including changing the Site name, updating Site quota, and changing the location of Personal Libraries for new users.

To modify Site settings:

1. Connect to the Application Server Control and go to the Content DB Home page. See "Accessing the Oracle Content DB Home Page" for information about how to do this.

2. On the Content DB Home page, click the Administration tab.

3. In the Site Management table row, click the Go to Task icon. The Site Management page appears.

   Figure 11-1 shows the Site Management page.

4. If necessary, provide a new name for the Site. Since the Site name is used as the top folder name for the Site, any bookmarks to existing URLs will break. Also, in Oracle Drive, any paths designated for scheduled backups will need to be changed.

   You cannot use the following characters in the Site name: backslash (\), slash (/), colon (:), asterisk (*), question mark (?), quotation mark ("), left angle bracket (<), right angle bracket (>), and vertical bar (|). Keep Site names short to avoid long path names, and avoid using spaces because these characters will be replaced by %20 in URLs, making the URL long and hard to read.

5. Specify the amount of quota you want to allocate in the Allocated Quota field, then specify whether you want to allocate the quota in Megabytes (MB), Gigabytes (GB), or Terabytes (TB) by selecting from the list. The quota you allocate must be larger than the quota that has already been used by the Site.

6. In the Personal Libraries section, you have the option of changing the location of the Personal Libraries for new users. Using this option requires custom Java code; contact your Oracle Support Services representative for more information. To change the location of the Personal Libraries for new users, provide the following two parameters:

   • Locator Class Name: Specify the name of the custom class you created for the new Personal Library location.

   • Root Path: Specify the new root path for the Personal Libraries.

   Only the Personal Libraries for new users will use the new path. Personal Libraries for existing users will remain in the old location.

Granting the Security Administrator Role

If all existing Site users with the Security Administrator role are deleted or deprovisioned, you can use the Application Server Control to grant the Security Administrator role to a Site user.

For more information about the Security Administrator role, see Oracle Content Database Application Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Suite.

To grant the Security Administrator role to a Site user:

1. Ensure that the user to whom you want to grant the Security Administrator role has been created, and that this user has logged in to Oracle Content DB at least once.

2. Connect to the Application Server Control and go to the Content DB Home page. See "Accessing the Oracle Content DB Home Page" for information about how to do this.

3. On the Content DB Home page, click the Administration tab.

4. In the Site Security table row, click the Go to Task icon.

5. On the Grant Security Role page, enter the name of the user to whom you want to grant the Security Administrator role. This user must be an existing Oracle Content DB user who has already been provisioned. In other words, this user must have logged in to Oracle Content DB at least once.

6. Click Apply.
