The chapter outlines what Fusion Middleware administrators must do, after installation, to get custom WebCenter applications up and running. A roadmap is provided to help guide you through the process.
The chapter includes the following sections:
Section 4.1, "Installing Oracle WebCenter and Oracle WebCenter Framework Libraries"
Section 4.2, "Deploying Custom WebCenter Applications for the First Time (Roadmap)"
Although WebCenter Spaces is itself a WebCenter application, it does require some special administration tasks that other custom WebCenter applications do not. To see a comprehensive list of these tasks, refer to Chapter 2, "Getting WebCenter Spaces Up and Running".
The content of this chapter is intended for Fusion Middleware administrators responsible for custom WebCenter application administration (users granted the Admin role through the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console).
Oracle WebCenter installation is described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebCenter.
Oracle JDeveloper installation, required for building custom WebCenter applications, is described in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle JDeveloper.
Custom WebCenter applications can be deployed to any WebLogic Server instance that is provisioned with the Oracle WebCenter Framework shared library files. For details, see, Section 7.1.3.1, "Creating and Provisioning a WebLogic Managed Server Instance".
The roadmap in Table 4-1 outlines the tasks that a Fusion Middleware administrator must perform to deploy a custom WebCenter application, developed with Oracle WebCenter Framework, and get it up and running.
Note:
WebCenter Spaces requires additional administration tasks that custom WebCenter applications do not. To see a comprehensive list of these tasks, refer to Chapter 2, "Getting WebCenter Spaces Up and Running".Table 4-1 Roadmap - Getting Custom WebCenter Applications Up and Running for the First Time
| Step | Documentation | Role |

Step 1 - Verify your Oracle WebCenter installation |
Verify your Oracle WebCenter installation and settings. See: Installation is described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebCenter. |
Fusion Middleware Admin |
|
Step 2 - Launch Fusion Middleware Control |
Launch the Fusion Middleware Control Console, a Web-based management tool for WebCenter applications. See: Learn about the command-line administration tool WLST. See "Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST)". |

Step 3 - Deploy the custom WebCenter application |
Create a suitable container in which to deploy the custom WebCenter application archive:
See also, "Deploying WebCenter Applications". |

Step 6 - Restart the managed server |
Restart the managed server on which the application is deployed. See: |
Fusion Middleware Admin |
|
Step 7 - Verify custom WebCenter application configuration |
Login to the application to verify the configuration: identity store, services, applications, and so on. |
