This chapter provides an overview of the enterprise topology for Oracle WebCenter Interaction, describing its components and features.
It contains the following sections:
Oracle WebCenter Interaction provides the framework for applications, supports virtual community workspaces, and integrates them all into a cohesive Web work environment.
The following components make up Oracle WebCenter Interaction.
The portal serves end user portal pages and content, and provides a gateway to back-end systems.
The portal enables end users to access portal content via My Pages, community pages, the knowledge directory, and search. The portal also enables some administrative actions, such as setting preferences on portlets or managing communities.
The Document Repository Service stores content uploaded into the portal, such as images or documents uploaded into Oracle WebCenter Collaboration.
Search provides indexing and query services for content that is in the Oracle WebCenter deployment. Content that is indexed in the Oracle WebCenter system includes documents, portlets, communities, users, and other Oracle WebCenter objects.
The automation service runs jobs that perform tasks such as crawling documents into the knowledge directory, synchronizing groups and users with external authentication sources, and maintaining the search collection.
The image service serves images, javascript, and other static content for use by the Oracle WebCenter system.
The ALUI Directory is a basic LDAP group store used by Oracle WebCenter Analytics and Oracle WebCenter BPM instead of accessing the Oracle WebCenter Interaction database directly.
The following features of Oracle WebCenter Interaction are key to your deployment.
Experience definitions allow different audiences to be presented with different branding and features in the portal.
Oracle WebCenter Analytics delivers comprehensive reporting on activity and content usage within portals and composite applications, allowing you to know and meet user information needs.
Oracle WebCenter Collaboration helps people work together via the Web, supporting task management, projects, communities, calendars, discussions, and document sharing with version control.
Oracle WebCenter Portal's Pagelet Producer acts as the backbone for integration with WebCenter services.
Oracle WebCenter BPM is used to create and manage departmental, enterprise, and inter-enterprise business processes. Oracle WebCenter BPM Workspace Extensions is an extended version of Oracle WebCenter BPM, designed to integrate with the Oracle WebCenter Interaction portal to provide an enhanced set of administrative features and end user experiences.
The following developer tools are available for Oracle WebCenter Interaction.
The Oracle WebCenter Interaction Development Kit (IDK) enables Java and .NET developers to rapidly build, deliver, and improve user-centric composite applications through Oracle WebCenter Interaction. The IDK provides interfaces for Integration Web Services -- authentication, profile, crawler, and search -- that integrate enterprise systems into Oracle WebCenter Interaction. IDK Extensions provide a framework for customized Oracle WebCenter Interaction-based applications. Additional developer tools include Oracle WebCenter Logging Utilities, standardized support for .NET Web Controls, WSRP, and JSR-168.
The Oracle WebCenter WSRP Producer for .NET is a collection of libraries and Visual Studio .NET integration features that support easy authoring of ASP.NET 2.0 portlets. Portlets authored using the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Producer for .NET can be consumed in both Oracle portal environments: Oracle WebCenter Interaction and Oracle WebLogic Portal.
Integration services provide ways to combine the functionality of commonly deployed enterprise systems into composite applications.
The following Oracle WebCenter products are available to integrate Documentum into your deployment.
The following Oracle WebCenter products are available to integrate Lotus Notes into your deployment.
Oracle WebCenter Interaction Content Service for Lotus Notes scans Notes databases for new content, categorizing links to Notes content in the organized, searchable structure of the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Knowledge Directory. This allows customers to avoid the costs of replicating Notes databases by publishing Notes content in an enterprise-wide knowledge management system.
The following Oracle WebCenter product is available to integrate LDAP into your deployment.
Oracle WebCenter Interaction Identity Service for LDAP enables you to import and synchronize users and groups with associated profile information into Oracle WebCenter Interaction from an external LDAP source. At the time of login, the user's username and password are passed to the LDAP source for purposes of authentication, replacing native LDAP authentication.
The following Oracle WebCenter products are available to integrate Microsoft into your deployment.
Oracle WebCenter Interaction Content Service for Windows Files scans Windows file systems for new content, categorizing links to content in the organized, searchable structure of the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Knowledge Directory. Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows 2003 are supported.
Oracle WebCenter Interaction Identity Service for Active Directory enables the authentication and synchronization of users between Microsoft's Active Directory (AD) and Oracle WebCenter Interaction. The Identity Service retrieves user information from AD, allowing for user information to be mapped (and leveraged) within Oracle WebCenter Interaction.
Oracle WebCenter Interaction Content Service for Microsoft Exchange scans Exchange Servers for new content, categorizing links to Microsoft Exchange content in the organized, searchable structure of the Oracle WebCenter Interaction Knowledge Directory.
This guide includes the following chapters:
