Oracle WebCenter Portal 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.8.3) supports Oracle SES 11.2.2.2. If you patch your existing Oracle SES installation to release 11.2.2.2, you must install the new version of Oracle WebCenter Portal's Document Service Manager on Oracle SES and configure Oracle SES facets and sorting attributes. For information, see the "Installing Oracle SES 11.2.2.2" section in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal.
This release has a known issue when integrating PeopleSoft and WebCenter Portal leveraging WSS1.0 Username Token with Password. This is the recommended approach for customers who require secure consumption of PeopleSoft portlets in WebCenter Portal. Customers should contact Oracle Customer Support to obtain a patch to address this issue.
Oracle does not recommend using WSS1.0 SAML Token with Message Protection. This approach is not supported for integration between WebCenter Portal and PeopleSoft.
The following sections describe issues related to upgrading Oracle WebCenter Portal:
When you upgrade from an older version of Oracle WebCenter Portal to release 11.1.1.8.x, check the setDomainEnv.sh or setDomainEnv.cmd file. In this file, look under EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES and remove the -noverify flag if it is present.
When you upgrade from an older version of Oracle WebCenter Portal to release 11.1.1.8.x, run the following WLST command to restore Profile page customizations.
setProfileConfig(appName='webcenter',ProfilePageVersion='v1')
In WebCenter Portal, when you display a portal upgraded from a previous Oracle WebCenter Portal installation, the top banner of the portal does not render correctly. This happens when the portal has a page template set to a specific value and the skin is left as [System Default]. To work around this issue, you must choose a skin to match the page template. Configure the upgraded portal to use the Spaces FX or Fusion FX skin, depending on the page template.
Oracle supports the embedded discussions server from Jive Software. Use the task flows that come with WebCenter Portal to call this discussions server. Any custom development using APIs in the Jive Web Service layer are subject to review by Oracle and may not be supported.
There are a limited set of beta features that Jive Software delivers as part of the discussions server that Oracle does not recommend and cannot yet support.
Documentation for Jive Forums is included for reference only. Jive software installations and upgrades outside of the WebCenter Portal product installation are not supported.
