A key component of any portal is its content. WebLogic Portal provides content by using a Content Manager. A Content Manager provides content and document management capabilities for use in personalization services to target users with dynamic Web content.

The Content Manager works with files or with content managed by third-party vendor tools. While administering portal resources, you will have to manage content so that the user has access to the most relevant content available.
