Add a New Repository Connection
NOTE: Typically, you should only have one BEA Repository connection per Virtual Content Repository. For more information about using multiple BEA repositories, see the Working with BEA Repositories guide. If your portal configuration uses only one BEA repository, it is best to modify the existing connection to suit your needs.
By default, a single BEA repository is available in the Virtual Content Repository. If you want to use a third-party repository or use additional repositories, you must add them to the Virtual Content Repository. Content repositories within the Virtual Content Repository have access to administration functions such as delegated administration and federated searches which allow you to search for content across multiple repositories.
To add a new repository connection:
Input Field | What is needed: |
Repository Name | Enter the name of the repository you are creating. |
Connection Class | For BEA repositories, the connection class is the following:
If you are using a filesystem repository, the connection class is the following:

User Name | Enter the user name you want to use to login to this repository. |
Password | Enter the password associated with the user name used to login to this repository. |
Enable Library Services? | Mark this checkbox if you want to use WebLogic Portal's library services for this repository. This checkbox is not used with third-party content management systems. Library Services can only be used with BEA repositories. If you want remove Library Services, you'll need to create a new instance of the repository. |
A summary of the repository information is displayed in the Editor pane.
