14 Extending the Domain to Include Inbound Refinery

The following topics describe how to extend the enterprise deployment domain to include Inbound Refinery software.

• Extending the Domain for Inbound Refinery
  This section provides instructions for extending the existing enterprise deployment domain with the Inbound Refinery software.
• Completing Postconfiguration and Verification Tasks for Inbound Refinery
  This section describes how to do post-configuration and verification tasks for Inbound Refinery.
• Configuring the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers
  To initialize the configuration of an Inbound Refinery Managed Server, you need to access it only once through HTTP. You can do this directly, at the Managed Server's listen address. An Inbound Refinery instance should not be placed behind an HTTP server.
• Validating the Configuration of the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers
  To ensure that the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers you have created are properly configured, validate the configuration by logging in to Content Server and verifying that a file with an extension recognized as valid for conversion is correctly converted.

14.1 Extending the Domain for Inbound Refinery

This section provides instructions for extending the existing enterprise deployment domain with the Inbound Refinery software.

• Starting the Configuration Wizard
  
• Navigating the Configuration Wizard Screens to Extend the Domain
  

14.1.1 Starting the Configuration Wizard

To start the Configuration Wizard:

1. Shut down the domain completely before extending the domain. From the WebLogic Server Console, stop all managed servers and verify, and then stop the Administration Server.
2. Navigate to the following directory and start the WebLogic Server Configuration Wizard.

   cd ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin
   ./config.sh
   

14.1.2 Navigating the Configuration Wizard Screens to Extend the Domain

Follow the instructions in this section to update and configure the domain for the topology.

Note:

Task 15   Writing Down Your Domain Home and Administration Server URL

The Configuration Success screen will show the following items about the domain you just configured:

• Domain Location

• Administration Server URL

You must make a note of both items as you will need them later; the domain location is needed to access the scripts used to start the Node Manager and Administration Server, and the URL is needed to access the Administration Server.

Click Finish to dismiss the Configuration Wizard.

Task 16   Start the Administration Server

Start the Administration Server to ensure the changes you have made to the domain have been applied.

14.2 Completing Postconfiguration and Verification Tasks for Inbound Refinery

This section describes how to do post-configuration and verification tasks for Inbound Refinery.

• Propagate the Domain Configuration Updates for Inbound Refinery
  
• Modifying the Upload and Stage Directories to an Absolute Path
  After configuring the domain and unpacking it to the Managed Server domain directories on all the hosts, verify and update the upload and stage directories for the new Managed Servers.
• Starting the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers
  

14.2.1 Propagate the Domain Configuration Updates for Inbound Refinery

Propagate the start scripts and classpath configuration from the Administration Server's domain directory to the Managed Server domain directory. To propagate the domain configuration to the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers:

1. Create a backup copy of the Managed Server domain directory and the Managed Server applications directory.
2. Run the following pack command on WCPHOST1 to create a template pack:

   cd ORACLE_COMMON_HOME/common/bin
   
   ./pack.sh -managed=true 
             -domain=ASERVER_HOME 
             -template=/full_path/edgdomaintemplateIBR.jar 
             -template_name=edgdomain_templateIBR
   

   In this example:

   • Replace ASERVER_HOME with the actual path to the domain directory you created on the shared storage device.

   • Replace full_path with the complete path to the directory where you want the template jar file saved.

   • edgdomaintemplateIBR.jar is a sample name for the JAR file you are creating, which will contain the domain configuration files, including the configuration files for the Oracle HTTP Server instances.

   • edgdomain_templateIBR is the name assigned to the domain template file.

3. Run the following unpack command on WCPHOST1 to propagate the template created in the preceding step to the MSERVER_HOME directory:

   cd ORACLE_COMMON_HOME/common/bin
   
   ./unpack.sh -domain=MSERVER_HOME 
               -template=/full_path/edgdomaintemplateIBR.jar 
               -app_dir=APPLICATION_HOME 
               -overwrite_domain=true
   

   In this example:

   • Replace MSERVER_HOME with the complete path to the domain home to be created on the local storage disk. This is the location where the copy of the domain will be unpacked.

   • edgdomaintemplateIBR.jaris the directory path and name of the template you created when you ran the pack command to pack up the domain on the shared storage device.

   • The -overwrite_domain=true argument is necessary when you are unpacking a managed server template into an existing domain and existing applications directories.

     For any file that is overwritten, a backup copy of the original is created. If any modifications had been applied to the start scripts and ear files in the managed server domain directory, they must be restored after this unpack operation.

   • Replace APPLICATION_HOME with the complete path to the Application directory for the domain on local storage.

   Tip:

   For more information about the pack and unpack commands, see "Overview of the Pack and Unpack Commands" in Creating Templates and Domains Using the Pack and Unpack Commands.

4. Run the following command on WCPHOST1 to copy the template pack created in step 1 to WCPHOST2, WCCHOST1, and WCCHOST2:

   scp /full_path/edgdomaintemplateIBR.jar oracle@WCPHOST2:/full_path/
   scp /full_path/edgdomaintemplateIBR.jar oracle@WCCHOST1:/full_path/
   scp /full_path/edgdomaintemplateIBR.jar oracle@WCCHOST2:/full_path/
   

   Replace full_path with the complete path to the directory where you want to copy the template jar file.

5. Run the following unpack command on each of the remote hosts to deploy the domain template copied in the preceding step to the MSERVER_HOME directory:

   cd ORACLE_COMMON_HOME/common/bin
   
   ./unpack.sh -domain=MSERVER_HOME 
               -template=/full_path/edgdomaintemplateIBR.jar 
               -app_dir=APPLICATION_HOME 
               -overwrite_domain=true
   

   In this example:

   • Replace MSERVER_HOME with the complete path to the domain home to be created on the local storage disk. This is the location where the copy of the domain will be unpacked.

   • edgdomaintemplateIBR.jaris the directory path and name of the template you created when you ran the pack command to pack up the domain on the shared storage device.

   • The -overwrite_domain=true argument is necessary when you are unpacking a managed server template into an existing domain and existing applications directories.

     For any file that is overwritten, a backup copy of the original is created. If any modifications had been applied to the start scripts and ear files in the managed server domain directory, they must be restored after this unpack operation.

   • Replace APPLICATION_HOME with the complete path to the Application directory for the domain on local storage.

   Tip:

   For more information about the pack and unpack commands, see "Overview of the Pack and Unpack Commands" in Creating Templates and Domains Using the Pack and Unpack Commands.

6. Restart the Administration Server to make these changes take effect, stopping it with the nmKill command, or with the Administration Console, and then starting it with the nmStart command. Log in to the Administration Console using the credentials for the weblogic user.
7. Restart the WLS_WSMn, WC_Collaborationn, WC_Portletn, WLS_WCCn, and WC_Portaln managed servers.

14.2.2 Modifying the Upload and Stage Directories to an Absolute Path

After configuring the domain and unpacking it to the Managed Server domain directories on all the hosts, verify and update the upload and stage directories for the new Managed Servers.

This step is necessary to avoid potential issues when performing remote deployments and for deployments that require the stage mode.

To update these directory paths for all the Managed Servers in the Managed Server domain home directory:

1. Log in to the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

2. In the left navigation tree, expand Domain, and then Environment.

3. Click Lock & Edit.

4. Click Servers.

5. For each new Managed Server in the Managed Server domain home directory:

   1. Click the name of the Managed Server.

   2. Click the Configuration tab, and then click the Deployment tab.

   3. Verify that the Staging Directory Name is set to the following:

      MSERVER_HOME/servers/server_name/stage
      

      Replace MSERVER_HOME with the directory path for the MSERVER_HOME directory; replace server_name with the name of the Server you are editing.

   4. Update the Upload Directory Name to the following value:

      ASERVER_HOME/servers/AdminServer/upload
      

      Replace ASERVER_HOME with the directory path for the ASERVER_HOME directory.

   5. Click Save.

   6. Return to the Summary of Servers screen.

6. When you have modified these values for each Managed Server, click Activate Changes.

14.2.3 Starting the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers

To start the WLS_IBR1 Managed Server on WCCHOST1:

1. Log in to the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console as the weblogic_wcp user at:

   http://admin.example.com/console
   

2. Start the WLS_IBR1 Managed Server through the Administration Console, as follows:
   1. Expand the Environment node in the Domain Structure tree on the left.
   2. Click Servers.
   3. On the Summary of Servers page, click the Control tab.
   4. Select WLS_IBR1 from the Servers column of the table.
   5. Click Start.
3. Verify that the server status is reported as Running in the Administration Console.
   • If the server is shown as Starting or Resuming, wait for the server status to change to Started.
   • If another status is reported (such as Admin or Failed), check the server output log files for errors.
4. Repeat the preceding steps to start the WLS_IBR2 Managed Server on WCCHOST2.

14.3 Configuring the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers

To initialize the configuration of an Inbound Refinery Managed Server, you need to access it only once through HTTP. You can do this directly, at the Managed Server's listen address. An Inbound Refinery instance should not be placed behind an HTTP server.

All subsequent access to the Inbound Refinery instance is through the socket listener. This listener is protected through the incoming socket connection address security filter configured in the next section.

Oracle recommends configuring each Content Server instance with all Inbound Refinery instances. The process for configuring Content Server is to add each Inbound Refinery instance as a provider. You also need to perform some post-installation steps with Inbound Refinery.

The following sections describe the procedures for post-installation configuration of each Inbound Refinery instance.

• Configuring Inbound Refinery Settings
  After you start the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers, configure the settings for each server on its post-installation configuration screen.
• Granting the Inbound Refinery Administrative Roles via Credential Map
  
• Specifying the Font Path
  
• Setting Up Content Server to Send Jobs to Inbound Refinery for Conversion
  Before Oracle WebCenter Content Server can send jobs to Inbound Refinery for conversion, you need to perform the setup tasks described in the following sections for each Inbound Refinery Managed Server.

14.3.1 Configuring Inbound Refinery Settings

After you start the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers, configure the settings for each server on its post-installation configuration screen.

To configure the settings for each Inbound Refinery instance:

1. Create the runtime cluster subdirectories required for the Oracle WebCenter Content Inbound Refinery shared folder configuration.

   The Oracle WebCenter Content Inbound Refinery configuration files are on a shared disk so that all members of the cluster can access them. The shared disk location of the Oracle WebCenter Content Inbound Refinery enterprise deployment is located at RUNTIME_HOME/domain_name/IBR_Servers/.

   Run the following commands to create the required subdirectories for every IBR managed server:

   mkdir -p RUNTIME_HOME/domain_name/IBR_Servers/ibr1/vault 
   mkdir -p RUNTIME_HOME/domain_name/IBR_Servers/ibr1/weblayout 
   mkdir -p RUNTIME_HOME/domain_name/IBR_Servers/ibr1/data/users/profiles  
   mkdir -p RUNTIME_HOME/domain_name/IBR_Servers/ibr2/vault 
   mkdir -p RUNTIME_HOME/domain_name/IBR_Servers/ibr2/weblayout 
   mkdir -p RUNTIME_HOME/domain_name/IBR_Servers/ibr2/data/users/profiles
   

2. Access the Inbound Refinery post-installation configuration screen at the following URL, in which N is 1 or 2:

   http://WCCHOSTN:16250/ibr/
   

3. On the Configuration screen, you will see Inbound Refinery Instance Identifier: name. Set the configuration settings for this instance as follows. Each Inbound Refinery instance is independent of the other instances and local to each machine. Use local directories for the configuration directories of each instance.

   • Inbound Refinery Instance Folder: Set this to RUNTIME_HOME/domain_name/IBR_Servers/ibrN.

     For example: /u01/oracle/runtime/wcpedg_domain/IBR_Servers/ibr1

   • Native File Repository Location: Set this to RUNTIME_HOME/domain_name/IBR_Servers/ibrN/vault.

     For example: /u01/oracle/runtime/wcpedg_domain/IBR_Servers/ibr1/vault

   • WebLayout Folder: Set this to RUNTIME_HOME/domain_name/IBR_Servers/ibrN/weblayout.

     For example: /u01/oracle/runtime/wcpedg_domain/IBR_Servers/ibr1/weblayout

   • User Profile Folders: Set this to RUNTIME_HOME/domain_name/IBR_Servers/ibrN/data/users/profiles.

     For example: /u01/oracle/runtime/wcpedg_domain/IBR_Servers/ibr1/data/users/profiles

   • Incoming Socket Connection Address Security Filter: A pipe-delimited list of localhost and the server IP addresses:

     127.0.0.1|WCCHOST1-IP|WCCHOST2-IP|WEBHOST1-IP|WEBHOST2-IP

     This setting enables access from Content Server. The values for WCCHOST1-IP and WCCHOST2-IP should be the IP addresses of the machines with the Content Server instance or instances that will send jobs to Inbound Refinery, not necessarily the IP address of Inbound Refinery. (In the reference topology used in this enterprise deployment guide, however, these IP addresses are the same.)

     The Incoming Socket Connection Address Security Filter: field accepts wildcards in the value; for example, 192.0.2.*.

     You can change this value later by setting SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter in the/u02/oracle/runtime/wcpedg_domain/IBR_Servers/ibrN/config/config.cfg file and then restarting the Inbound Refinery Managed Server.

     Where N is 1 for http://WCCHOST1:16250/ibr/ and N is 2 for http://WCCHOST2:16250/ibr/

   • Server Socket Port: Enter an unused port number, such as 5555. This value is the number of the port for calling top-level services.

     Take note of the port number because you need it later for configuring Oracle WebCenter Content.

     Changing this field value changes the IntradocServerPort entry in /u01/oracle/runtime/wcpedg_domain/IBR_Servers/ibrN/config/config.cfg.

     Where N is 1 for http://WCCHOST1:16250/ibr/ and N is 2 for http://WCCHOST2:16250/ibr/

   • Server Instance Name: Specify a name for the Inbound Refinery server instance.

     You can accept the default value or change it to a name that is more useful to you. Take note of the server name because you will need it later for configuring Oracle WebCenter Content.

   You can leave all other fields on the configuration page as they are.

   Click Submit, and you should get the following message:

   Post-install configuration complete. Please restart this node.
4. Restart the Inbound Refinery Managed Server, using the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
5. Repeat the preceding steps for each Inbound Refinery instance, using different names for the content folders.

14.3.2 Granting the Inbound Refinery Administrative Roles via Credential Map

You must configure the Credential map to grant the Inbound Refinery administrative roles to the WCPAdministrators LDAP group.

The WCPAdministrators LDAP group is created in the Provisioning an Enterprise Deployment Administration User and Group section completed earlier. This configuration of credential map ensures consistent use of the LDAP administrative user for all configuration, administration, and maintenance tasks.

To configure a credential map and provide the necessary role grants to the LDAP-based WCPAdministrators group:

1. Log in to Inbound Refinery server on WCCHOST1 using the weblogic account.
2. Expand the Administration menu, select Credential Maps.
3. In the Map Identifier Field, enter a name for the new credential map: LDAPAdmins.
4. Add the following lines to map the LDAP group to the multiple administrative roles:

   # Assign full set of administration roles to the LDAP WCPAdministrators group
        WCPAdministrators, admin
        WCPAdministrators, sysmanager
        WCPAdministrators, refineryadmin
        WCPAdministrators, rmaadmin
        WCPAdministrators, pcmadmin
        WCPAdministrators, ermadmin
        #
        # Comment the following if you are not implementing Accounts in Content Server
        WCPAdministrators, @#all(RWDA)
        WCPAdministrators, @#none(RWDA)
   

   Note:

   If you are not implementing Accounts in Content Server, comment the last two lines in the example above.
5. Click Update.
6. Navigate to Administration > Providers.
7. Click the info link for the existing JPS provider.
8. Make sure that the Credential Map parameter does not already have a map identifier listed.
9. Click the Edit button.
10. Enter the name of the Map Identifier from step 3 above as the Credential Map value.
11. Click Update.
12. Repeat step 6 through 11 for each inbound refinery instance.
13. Restart the managed servers in the IBR_Servers cluster.
14. Log in to each Inbound Refinery server using the weblogic_wcp LDAP user and verify that the administrative menu options appear in the user interface.

14.3.3 Specifying the Font Path

For Inbound Refinery to work properly, you must specify the path to fonts used to generate font images. By default, the font path is set to the font directory in the JVM used by Inbound Refinery: MW_HOME/jdk160_version/jre/lib/fonts. However, the fonts included in the default directory are limited and may cause poor renditions. Also, in some cases if a non-standard JVM is used, then the JVM font path may be different than that specified as the default. If this is the case, an error message is displayed from both Inbound Refinery and Content Server. If this occurs, ensure that the font path is set to the directory containing the fonts necessary to properly render your conversions.

For more information, see Specifying the Font Path in Oracle Fusion Middleware Managing Oracle WebCenter Content.

14.3.4 Setting Up Content Server to Send Jobs to Inbound Refinery for Conversion

Before Oracle WebCenter Content Server can send jobs to Inbound Refinery for conversion, you need to perform the setup tasks described in the following sections for each Inbound Refinery Managed Server.

• Creating an Outgoing Provider
  Before Content Server can send files to Inbound Refinery for conversion, you must set up an outgoing provider from Content Server to each Inbound Refinery with the Handles Inbound Refinery Conversion Jobs option checked.
• Enabling Components for Inbound Refinery on Content Server
  Some conversion types require helper components to be enabled on Content Server. The InboundRefinerySupport component must always be enabled on any Content Server instance that uses Inbound Refinery for document conversion. It is enabled by default on a new Content Server installation.
• Selecting File Formats To Be Converted
  To tell Content Server which files to send to Inbound Refinery to be converted, you need to select file formats.

14.3.4.1 Creating an Outgoing Provider

Before Content Server can send files to Inbound Refinery for conversion, you must set up an outgoing provider from Content Server to each Inbound Refinery with the Handles Inbound Refinery Conversion Jobs option checked.

To create an outgoing provider for each Inbound Refinery instance:

1. Log in to Content Server at the following URL:

   http://WCCHOST1:16200/cs/
   

2. Open the Administration tray or menu, then choose Providers.
3. In the Create a New Provider table of the Providers page, click Add in the outgoing row.
4. Enter the following values for the fields:

   • Provider Name: Any short name with no spaces. It is a good idea to use the same value as the Instance Name value

   • Provider Description: Any text string.

   • Server Host Name: The name of the host machine where the Inbound Refinery instance is running: WCCHOST1.

   • HTTP Server Address: The address of the Inbound Refinery instance: WCCHOST1:16250.

   • Server Port: The value of the Server Socket Port field for the Inbound Refinery instance as specified in Configuring Inbound Refinery Settings; for example, 5555. This is the IntradocServerPort value in the Inbound Refineryconfig.cfg file.

   • Instance Name: The server instance name for Inbound Refinery as specified in Configuring Inbound Refinery Settings. This is the IDC_Name value in the Inbound Refinery config.cfg file.

   • Relative Web Root: The web root of the Inbound Refinery instance: /ibr/

5. Under Conversion Options, check Handles Inbound Refinery Conversion Jobs.

   Do not check Inbound Refinery Read Only Mode.

6. Click Add.
7. Restart the Inbound Refinery Managed Server and Oracle WebCenter Content Server (WebCenter Content Managed Server), using the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
8. Go back to the Providers page, and check that the Connection State value is good for the provider.

   If the value is not good, double-check that you entered all the preceding entries correctly, and check that the Content Server and Inbound Refinery instances can ping each other.

9. Complete steps 1 through 8 for the second IBR server.

For more information about setting up providers, see "Configuring Content Server and Refinery Communication" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Managing Oracle WebCenter Content.

14.3.4.2 Enabling Components for Inbound Refinery on Content Server

Some conversion types require helper components to be enabled on Content Server. The InboundRefinerySupport component must always be enabled on any Content Server instance that uses Inbound Refinery for document conversion. It is enabled by default on a new Content Server installation.

To enable Inbound Refinery components on Content Server:

1. Log in to Content Server at the following URL:

   https://wcp.example.com/cs
   

2. From the Administration tray or menu, choose Admin Server, then Component Manager.
3. On the Component Manager page, select Inbound Refinery, then select components that you want to enable under Inbound Refinery, such as XMLConverterSupport, and then click Update.
4. Restart both Content Servers by restarting the WebCenter Content Managed Servers, using the WebLogic Server Administration Console.

14.3.4.3 Selecting File Formats To Be Converted

To tell Content Server which files to send to Inbound Refinery to be converted, you need to select file formats.

To select file formats to be converted:

1. Log in to Content Server at the following URL:

   https://wcp.example.com/cs/
   

2. Open the Administration tray or menu, then choose Refinery Administration, and then File Formats Wizard to open the File Formats Wizard page.

   This page specifies what file formats will be sent to Inbound Refinery for conversion when they are checked into Content Server.

3. Select the formats you want converted, such as doc, dot, docx, and dotx for Microsoft Word documents.
4. Click Update.

You can also select file formats with the Configuration Manager, with more fine-grained control, including file formats that the wizard does not list. For more information, see "Managing File Types" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Managing Oracle WebCenter Content.

14.4 Validating the Configuration of the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers

To ensure that the Inbound Refinery Managed Servers you have created are properly configured, validate the configuration by logging in to Content Server and verifying that a file with an extension recognized as valid for conversion is correctly converted.

For example, if you selected docx as a format to be converted, you can convert a Microsoft Word document with a .docx extension to PDF format.

For information about the check-in and check-out procedures, see "Uploading Documents" and "Checking Out and Downloading Files" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Using Oracle WebCenter Content.

For information about the conversion process, see "Configuring Content Servers to Send Jobs to Refineries" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Managing Oracle WebCenter Content.
