RSS Manager

The RSS Manager provides access to news feeds from portals. Select a feed in the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) 2.0 or Atom 1.0 formats. For a given portal, RSS feeds enable you to track:

  • A portal's activity

  • A portal's announcements

  • A portal's discussions

  • A portal's lists

  • A specific list

Use these feeds with your favorite RSS 2.0 or Atom 1.0 reader. Note that the reader must support HTTP authentication. When you access a news feed item in your reader of choice, the item links back to WebCenter Portal. Because the application itself requires authentication before you can access much of its content, your reader must be equipped to pass your login credentials to securely deliver access. Use your WebCenter Portal user name and password to access feed content.

Note:

Oracle WebCenter Portal has deprecated the support for Jive features (announcements and discussions). If you have upgraded from a prior release to Release 12c (12.2.1.4.0), Jive features remain available in your upgraded instance but Oracle support is not provided for these features. In the next release, Jive features will not be available even in the upgraded instances
