Element Description

Allow override format on check in

(IsOverrideFormat)

If selected, users can select the format of a document during checkin. This is useful in the following situations:

  • When an application's default extension is not used for a file name. For example, a Microsoft Word document named customer.ltr does not have the default application extension .doc, but a contributor could select Microsoft Word Document from the Formats list on the checkin page to tell the Content Server instance how to convert the file.

  • When the user must decide how the file should be converted and indexed. For example, say you have set Corel WordPerfect documents to be passed through as text files. If a contributor leaves the Format option on the checkin page as use default, the file is converted to text and full-text indexed automatically. If the contributor selects Corel WordPerfect Document, the file is passed through in its native format and is not full-text indexed.

If unselected, users cannot select the format of a document during checkin. This is the default.

A.1.3 Indexing and Search Content Interface

The following screens are used when working with the search index, configuring zone text fields, and searching content using the Oracle Query Optimizer component:

A.1.3.1 Repository Manager: Indexer Tab

This tab is used to monitor, run, and configure Indexer update cycles and collection rebuild cycles. It also provides access to the OracleTextSearch feature for fast rebuilds.

For more information, see "Managing Repository Content" in Oracle WebCenter Content Application Administrator's Guide for Content Server.

Surrounding text describes Repository Manager Indexer tab.

To access the Repository Manager application, choose Administration, then Admin Applets, then Repository Manager. To access the Indexer functions, click the Indexer tab on the Repository Manager window.

Element Description

Automatic Update Cycle

Incrementally updates the index database automatically approximately every five minutes, regardless of whether an event (such as file checkin) has triggered the Indexer.

Collection Rebuild Cycle

The search index is entirely rebuilt, and the old index collection is replaced with a new index collection when the rebuild is successfully completed.

State

Current place in the indexing cycle:

Initialization: The indexing cycle is being initialized.

Adding to collection...: Revisions are being indexed.

Finished: The indexing cycle is completed or has been canceled.

Status

Status of the indexing cycle:

Idle: No indexing cycles are in process.

Active: An indexing cycle is currently running.

Interrupted: The indexing cycle was interrupted, either by a suspension or an unexpected event (such as a power, database, or file system failure).

Suspending: The indexing cycle is being suspended.

Cancelling: The indexing cycle is being canceled.

Start Date

Date and time the last indexing cycle started.

Finish Date

Date and time the last indexing cycle finished.

Active Date

If the indexing cycle is currently active, the date and time the cycle became active.

Indexer Counters

Counter values for the current indexing cycle.

Total: The total number of documents indexed.

Full Text: The number of full-text indexed documents.

Meta Only: The number of documents for which only metadata has been indexed.

Delete: The number of documents deleted from the search index.

Start/Restart

Begins the indexing cycle, or restarts a cycle that was suspended or interrupted. Corresponds to the Start index update and Start index rebuild links in the Actions section of the Administration tray. These links enable you to remotely manage indexing functions.

Suspend

Stops the indexing cycle and permits a restart. Corresponds to the Suspend index update and Suspend index rebuild links in the Actions section of the Administration tray. These links enable you to remotely manage indexing functions.

Cancel

Stops the indexing cycle but does not permit a restart. Corresponds to the Cancel index update and Cancel index rebuild links in the Actions section of the Administration tray. These links enable you to remotely manage indexing functions.

Configure

Displays either the Automatic Update Cycle Screen or the Collection Rebuild Cycle Screen, which enable you to adjust the files per batch, checkpoint, and debug level.


A.1.3.2 Automatic Update Cycle Screen

This screen is used to configure how the Indexer automatically indexes new files and revisions.

Surrounding text describes Automatic Update Cycle screen.

To access this screen, click Configure in the Automatic Update Cycle pane of the Repository Manager: Indexer Tab.

Element Description

Content Items Per Indexer Batch

The maximum number of files that the search index will process simultaneously. The default is 25. For example, 25 files are indexed together, then the next 25 files are indexed. However, if one item fails, then the batch is processed again.

Thus, if you set this value to 2000 and a document fails, the entire batch would be reprocessed. This would take longer than if you use the default setting and an item fails. But, if there are no failures in the batch, then setting this value higher accelerates the process.

The only time you would change this setting to one (1) is if you are experiencing problems with the search engine indexing large and complicated files.

Content Items Per Checkpoint

The number of files that will go through all relevant indexing states at a time. You can have multiple batches of files indexed per checkpoint. After the checkpoint is reached, some merging of the collection is done before the next batch is processed.

If this is set to a high value and you try to cancel a rebuild or an update cycle, the Repository Manager does not stop processing until the checkpoint is reached. However, setting the value too low slows down the indexing process.

Indexer Debug Level

The Indexer debug level. The more debug information listed in the server window, the slower the indexing progresses. The following list shows the debug levels from the least to the most debug information:

none: No information for each file access is displayed, and no log will be generated.

verbose: Displays information for each file accessed. Indicates indexed, ignored, or failed, and generates a full report.

debug: Displays the medium level of information, which is specifically functional.

trace: Displays the lowest level of information for each activity performed.

all: Displays the highest level of debug information.

Indexer Auto Updates

If selected, the index database is updated automatically.


A.1.3.3 Collection Rebuild Cycle Screen

This screen is used to configure how the Indexer rebuilds the search collection.

Surrounding text describes Collection Rebuild Cycle screen.

To access this screen, click Configure in the Collection Rebuild Cycle pane of the Repository Manager: Indexer Tab.

Element Description

Content Items Per Indexer Batch

The maximum number of files that the search index will process simultaneously. The default is 25. For example, 25 files are indexed together, then the next 25 files are indexed. However, if one item fails, then the batch is processed again.

Thus, if you set this value to 2000 and a document fails, the entire batch would be reprocessed. This would take longer than if you use the default setting and an item fails. But, if there are no failures in the batch, then setting this value higher accelerates the process.

The only time you would change this setting to one (1) is if you are experiencing problems with the search engine indexing large and complicated files.

Content Items Per Checkpoint

The number of files that will go through all relevant indexing states at a time. You can have multiple batches of files indexed per checkpoint. After the checkpoint is reached, some merging of the collection is done before the next batch is processed.

If this is set to a high value and you try to cancel a rebuild or an update cycle, the Repository Manager will not stop processing until the checkpoint is reached. However, setting the value too low will slow down the indexing process.

Indexer Debug Level

The Indexer debug level. The more debug information listed in the server window, the slower the indexing progresses. The following list shows the debug levels from the least to the most debug information:

none: No information for each file accessed is displayed.

verbose: Displays information for each file accessed. Indicates indexed, ignored, or failed.

debug: Displays the medium level of information.

trace: Displays the lowest level of information.

all: Displays the highest level of information.

Database and Database Full-Text Search do not support indexer debug levels, so only the none option is displayed if you use a database for search and index.


A.1.3.4 Indexer Rebuild Screen

Surrounding text describes Zone Fields Configuration screen.

To access this screen, choose Administration then Zone Fields Configuration.

Note:

Custom text fields (the Comments text field and any customer-created text fields) are shared between the Database and DatabaseFullText search engines. Therefore, changing the status of these text fields for one search engine also applies the changes to the other search engine. Standard text fields (Author, Content ID, Content Type, Title, and so on) can be enabled or disabled independently for each search engine.

Element Description

Search Engine

The search engine to be used to search the zone text fields (either Database or DatabaseFullText).

Zone Text Fields

List of the zone text fields for the selected search engine. You can use the [Ctrl] and [Shift] keys on your keyboard to select multiple fields.

Text Fields

List of the available text fields for selected search engine.

By default, text fields with a field length of 20 or less characters are not included in the Text Fields list. You can change this setting by modifying the MinFullTextFieldLength configuration variable.

Right and left arrow buttons

Use the arrows to move selected fields between the Zone Text Fields and Text Fields lists.

Update

Enables text fields in the Zone Text Fields list as zone text fields, and disables text fields in the Text Field list. Parses the text within all zone text fields and creates a full-text index that can be queried using the Contains search operator.

Changing a text field to a zone text field can be a very time-consuming operation. The amount of time it takes to parse the text and create the full-text index depends on the number of content items in the Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance and the amount of text stored in the text field. However, when the text field has been indexed, you should not experience significant performance issues when updating and adding content items.

Reset

Reverts the Zone Text Fields and Text Fields lists to the last saved lists.

Name of a Java class that performs some extra configuration. This class is useful for database providers, where the connection classes are already providers.

Source Path

(SourcePath)

Unique string that identifies the LDAP provider. The first time a user requests credentials through the provider, this string is stored with the user information so it can be used to match the user with the provider next time the user asks for credentials. Try using the name of the provider as the Source Path.

LDAP Server

(LdapServer)

Host name of the LDAP server.

LDAP Suffix

(LdapSuffix)

Root suffix (naming context) to use for all LDAP operations (such as o=example.com or dc=example,dc=com). All mapping of LDAP groups to Content Server roles and accounts will begin at this root.

Do not include spaces before or after commas.

LDAP Port

(LdapPort)

Port the LDAP server listens on. The default is 389. If you are using SSL, you should set this to 636.

Number of connections

(NumConnections)

Number of LDAP server connections the provider maintains.

Connection timeout

Amount of time (in minutes) that a provider connection to the LDAP server is held open before the provider connection is closed and reopened.

For best results, set the amount of time to less than 15 minutes. If the amount of time is 15 minutes or greater, there could be a problem with the JNDI layer not holding the connection open.

Priority field

(Priority)

Order in which LDAP providers will be checked for the user credentials.

  • This field is used only when a user has not previously logged into the Content Server instance. If the user has previously requested credentials, the Source Path will be stored for that user, so the LDAP provider specified by the Source Path will be used.

  • Each LDAP provider in a Content Server instance must have a unique Priority number.

Credential Map

A credential map.

Use SSL

(UseSecureLdap)

If selected, you must have the appropriate certificates installed on the LDAP server. When SSL is initiated, the certificates will secure communication between the LDAP server and the Content Server instance.

If you use a self-signed certificate for your LDAP server and select to use SSL, you may need to add the LDAP server's certificate to the JVM trusted certificate keystore to avoid a connection error with LDAP Port 636. The basic command for importing a certificate into the JVM keystore is the following:

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -import -file 
server certificate file -alias server alias -keypass changeit -keystore
%JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/security/cacerts

Use Group Filtering

(UseGroupFilter)

If selected, the Role Prefix and Account Prefix definitions will be used to select the LDAP groups that will be mapped to Content Server roles and accounts.

If unselected, all LDAP groups will be mapped to Content Server roles and accounts. This is the default.

Use Full Group Names

(UseFullGroupName)

If selected, the entire hierarchy (up to the specified prefix or naming context) for a LDAP group will be included in the mapping to a Content Server role or account.

If unselected, only the lowest level unit of a LDAP group will be mapped to a Content Server role or account. This is the default.

Account Permissions Delimiter

(AcctPermDelim)

String that separates the account names from the account permissions in a LDAP group name.

  • If a LDAP group name is mapped to an account and contains this substring, the string to the left of this substring will be the account name, and the string to the right of this substring will be the account permissions.

  • For example, if the delimiter is defined as a + (plus sign), the group name Acct1+rw would map to an account named Acct1 with Read and Write permission. If the delimiter is defined as an _ (underscore), the Acct1+rw group name would map to an account named Acct1+rw, with RWDA permission by default.

  • The default is _ (underscore).

  • This field appears only if accounts are enabled in the Content Server instance.

Default Network Roles

Default role or roles assigned to a user who enters through this provider; for example, contributor.

Default Network Accounts

(DefaultNetworkAccounts)

Default account permissions for users who log in to the Content Server instance with LDAP credentials.

  • This must be a comma-delimited list of accounts. Do not include spaces before or after the commas that separate accounts.

  • Permissions for each account can be specified in parentheses after the account name, such as account(RWDA). If no permissions are specified, RWDA permission is granted by default.

  • The #none entry grants permission to documents that have no account assigned.

  • The #all entry grants permissions to all accounts.

  • The default is #none(RWDA).

  • This setting does not apply to anonymous users.

  • This setting defines the minimum account permissions. Account permissions defined by the external user base are added to these permissions. For example, if the default is #none(RW),Project(R), and a user's group maps to Project(RWD) permission, the user's permissions are #none(RW),Project(RWD).

  • This field appears only if accounts are enabled in the Content Server instance.

Role Prefix

String that specifies where in the LDAP group name to start matching a Content Server role name.

Role Prefix Depth

Number that specifies how many levels the LDAP group name can contain after the Role Prefix for the group name to be considered a valid role. Placing an asterisk (*) in the depth parameter for a specific prefix ensures that the short name for any group mapped through the prefix is used.

Role Prefix Add

Adds the Role Prefix string and Depth as a clause in the Role Prefix box.

Role Prefix

(RolePrefix)

List of Role Prefix clauses that will be used to select LDAP groups when the Group Filtering checkbox is selected. This box can be edited directly.

Do not include spaces before or after the commas that separate units in a prefix.

Account Prefix

String that specifies where in the LDAP group name to start matching a Content Server account name.

This field appears only if accounts are enabled in the Content Server instance.

Account Prefix Depth

Number that specifies how many levels the LDAP group name can contain after the Account Prefix for the group name to be considered a valid account.

This field appears only if accounts are enabled in the Content Server instance.

Placing an asterisk (*) in the depth parameter for a specific prefix ensures that the short name for any group mapped through the prefix is used.

Account Prefix Add

Adds the Account Prefix string and Depth as a clause in the Account Prefix box.

This button appears only if accounts are enabled in the Content Server instance.

LDAP Attribute

LDAP user attribute to be mapped to a Content Server user information field.

User Attribute

Content Server user information field to be mapped from the LDAP Attribute field.

  • All Content Server user information fields for which you can change the value are listed.

  • Standard user information fields begin with a "d".

  • This box can be edited directly.

  • If this field is left blank, the default is:

    mail:dEmail
    cn:dFullName
    title:dUserType
    

LDAP Admin DN

(LdapAdminDN)

User name that will be making calls to the LDAP server.

  • This user must have Read rights to the LDAP server.

  • If the user name is left blank, the provider will connect to the LDAP server anonymously.

Ldap Admin Password

(LdapAdminPassword)

Password for the user that will be making calls to the LDAP server.

A.2.4.15 Add Metadata Field Name Screen

This screen is used to define the name of a custom user information field.

Surrounding text describes Add Metadata Field Name screen.

To access this screen, click Add on the User Admin Screen: Information Fields Tab.

Element Description

Field Name

Duplicate names are not allowed. Maximum field length is 29 characters. The following are not acceptable: spaces, tabs, line feeds, carriage returns and ; ^ ? : @ & + " # % < * ~ |

When you add a custom user information field, the system automatically prefixes the name with a "u" to ensure that it is unique and does not conflict with any reserved names. However, you must be careful not to inadvertently use restricted names for columns in the user logins table because they may conflict with reserved names in databases.

For example, if you try to use "ID" to name a new custom user information field, the result will be "UID" when the system adds the prefix. This causes an error because UID is a reserved database name.

Similarly, when you define a custom metadata field, the system automatically prefixes the name with a "x" to ensure that it is unique and does not conflict with any reserved names.

OK

  • checkSecurity: Validates security for actions on a particular document, such as check in, check out, and delete. It checks the logged in user's security group and account permissions against the service's access level for performing the specified action. Takes zero or one parameter, which is the name of a ResultSet.

  • createResultSetSQL: Executes a query with parameters taken from the Data Binder (dataSource and whereClause local data) rather than from given parameters. It also places the results in the local data using the ResultSet name found in the Data Binder (resultName) Takes no parameters.

  • doSubService: Executes a subservice. Takes one parameter, which is the name of a subservice.

  • loadDefaultInfo: Creates checkin and update pages. It first executes the loadDefaultInfo filter, and then loads environment information, content types, formats, and accounts. Takes no parameters.

  • loadMetaOptionsLists: Executes the loadMetaOptionsLists filter, and then loads all options lists referred to in the DocMetaDefinition table. Takes no parameters.

  • loadSharedTable: Makes a server-cached table available for a template. Use this method instead of executing a query when the data is already cached in the server. Takes two parameters. The first parameter is the name of the table to look up in the server's cached tables. The second is the name the table is given when it is added to the data.

  • loadSharedTableRow: Retrieves cached information, such as data about a specific user. The value for the key in the request data is used to find the row in the cached table. The values of the row are mapped to the local data using the names of the columns as keys. Takes two parameters. The first parameter is the name of the table to look up in the server's cached tables. The second parameter is an argument specifying a column in the database and a lookup key into the request data.

  • mapResultSet: Replaces a Type 5 action when the service requires only a part of the first row of a ResultSet to be stored. It executes the specified query and maps the specified columns of the first row of the ResultSet to the local data. Takes at least three parameters. The first parameter is the name of a select query; the parameters that follow must appear in comma-delimited pairs. The first member of the pair is the column name, and the second member is the key that is used to put the row value into local data.

Action list (continued)

The Java Method action type allows the following actions to be selected.

  • refreshCache: Performs a refresh on the specified Subjects. Takes one or more parameters, as a comma-delimited list of subjects.

  • renameValues: Assigns the value from one variable to another variable. Takes one or more sets of parameters that must appear in comma-delimited pairs. The first member of a pair is the variable name that is looked up in the Data Binder, and the second member is the variable name that stores the found value in the local data.

  • setConditionVars: Sets condition variables to true (1) or false (0). These values can be tested only in HTM template pages. They are not put into local data. Takes one or more sets of parameters that must appear in comma-delimited pairs. The first member of a pair is the name of the condition variable, and the second member is the value (1 or 0).

  • setLocalValues: Places name/value pairs into the local data. Takes one or more sets of parameters that must appear in comma-delimited pairs. The first member of a pair is the variable name, and the second member is the value.

Parameters

If the action takes parameters, enter the parameters as a comma-delimited list.

  • For the Select Query and Select Cache Query action types, the first parameter is the name that the action assigns to the ResultSet returned from the query. This ResultSet can then be referenced in the template page.

  • For the Load Option List action type, the parameters are optional. However, if parameters are given, the first parameter is the key under which the option list is loaded, and the second parameter is the selected value for display on a HTML page.

Control Mask

The control mask will control the results of queries to the database.

Error Message

Error message to be displayed by this action. This action error message overrides the error message provided as an attribute of the service.

  • If the action error message is not empty, it becomes the active error message.

  • If the action error message is empty, the error message remains unchanged from the previous action.

OK

Saves the action in the Actions list on the Add/Edit Service Screen.
