Glossary

domain

A logical grouping of Oracle Content DB nodes (middle-tier processes), and an Oracle Database instance that contains the Oracle Content DB data.

instance

A single, named installation of Oracle Content DB.

LDAP

An Internet protocol that applications use to look up contact information from a server, such as a central directory. LDAP servers index all the data in their entries, and filters can be used to select just the person or group you want, and return just the information you want. Full name: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.

middle tiers

In a three-tier architecture, the middle tier is the application logic layer. The other tiers are the client tier and database tier. The middle tiers provide the computing power and resources for the clients.

In Oracle Application Server, middle-tier components include Oracle HTTP Server, OC4J, and OPMN. The Oracle Content DB application runs in the middle tier.

Oracle Clusterware

Oracle Clusterware contains the cluster management software required to support Oracle Real Application Clusters databases. Oracle Clusterware also provides high availability components that provide many system management features. The components of Oracle Clusterware interact with vendor clusterware, if present, to coordinate cluster membership information. In Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1), this was known as Cluster Ready Services.

Oracle Content DB

A consolidated, database-centric content management application that provides a comprehensive, integrated solution for file and document lifecycle management. Oracle Content DB runs on Oracle Application Server and Oracle Database, and provides a scalable content management repository. Oracle Content DB also offers a comprehensive set of Web services that developers can use to build and enhance content management applications.

Oracle Drive

Oracle Drive is a native Windows application that lets users use Windows Explorer, Microsoft Office, and other Windows applications to access content in Oracle Content DB. Oracle Drive displays files and folders in Oracle Content DB as a mapped drive in Windows Explorer. Oracle Drive also provides an effective offline solution that lets users edit files on their computers when offline, and then synchronize with the server when they reconnect.

Oracle Identity Management

An integrated set of components that provide distributed security to Oracle products and make it possible to centrally and securely manage enterprise identities and their access to applications in the enterprise. It includes the following components: Oracle Internet Directory, Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning, Oracle Delegated Administration Services, OracleAS Single Sign-On, and Oracle Application Server Certificate Authority.

Oracle Internet Directory

An LDAP service that combines Oracle Database technology with the LDAP v3 directory standard. Oracle Internet Directory is a component of Oracle Identity Management. It is also closely integrated with Oracle Database. All Oracle Content DB users are created and managed in Oracle Internet Directory.

Oracle Net Services

A suite of networking components that provide enterprise-wide connectivity solutions in distributed, heterogeneous computing environments. Oracle Net Services is comprised of Oracle Net, listener, Oracle Connection Manager, Oracle Net Configuration Assistant, and Oracle Net Manager. Oracle Net Services configuration files are usually stored in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.

Oracle Records DB

A component of Oracle Content DB that provides support for compliance solutions such as enforced record creation and retention policies. Records Administrators can use Oracle Records DB to specify file plans and create record categories.

OracleAS Infrastructure

An application server installation type that provides centralized product metadata and security services, configuration information, and data repositories for Oracle Application Server middle tiers. Oracle Content DB middle tiers use the OracleAS Infrastructure for three main services: Product Metadata Service, Oracle Identity Management Services, and the Management Service. Full name: Oracle Application Server Infrastructure.

OUI

The installation wizard through which you can install Oracle products, including Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server. Full name: Oracle Universal Installer.

response file

A text file that is read by Oracle Universal Installer during silent or noninteractive installation. The file contains responses to prompts from Oracle Universal Installer and minimizes or negates interaction between the user and the Oracle Universal Installer interface.

schema

A collection of database objects, including logical structures such as tables, views, sequences, stored procedures, synonyms, indexes, clusters, and database links. A schema has the name of the database user who controls it. The Oracle Content DB schema is created in an Oracle database during the configuration process. The schema owns all database objects, including metadata about Oracle Content DB and configuration information.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

An industry standard protocol designed by Netscape Communications Corporation for securing network connections. SSL provides authentication, encryption, and data integrity using public key infrastructure (PKI).

Single Sign-On

A component of Oracle Application Server that enables users to log in to multiple applications using a single user name and password. Oracle Content DB users log in to Oracle Content DB using their SSO password. Full name: Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On.

SSL

See Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

SSO Password

The password assigned to each Oracle Content DB user in Oracle Internet Directory. Users provide this password to authenticate against the OracleAS Single Sign-On server. Oracle Content DB users use the SSO password to sign in to Oracle Content DB. Full name: Single Sign-On password.

tablespace

A database storage unit that groups related logical structures together.
