1 About the Oracle WebCenter Content Installation

The standard installation for Oracle WebCenter Content described in this guide creates the standard topology, which represents a sample starting topology for this product.

• Using the Standard Installation Topology as a Starting Point
  The standard installation topology is a flexible topology that you can use as a starting point in production environments.
• Using This Document to Extend an Existing Domain
  The procedures in this guide describe how to create a new domain. The assumption is that no other Oracle Fusion Middleware products are installed on your system.

Using the Standard Installation Topology as a Starting Point

The standard installation topology is a flexible topology that you can use as a starting point in production environments.

The information in this guide helps you to create a standard installation topology for Oracle WebCenter Content. If required, you can later extend the standard installation topology to create a secure and highly available production environment, see Next Steps After Configuring the Domain.

The standard installation topology represents a sample topology for this product. It is not the only topology that this product supports. See About the Standard Installation Topology in Oracle Fusion Middleware Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

About the WebCenter Content Standard Installation Topology

This topology represents a standard WebLogic Server domain that contains an Administration Server and a cluster that contains two Managed Servers.

The following figure shows the standard installation topology for WebCenter Content.

See Table 1-1 for information on the elements for this topology.

Note:

If you have enabled IPM server, it will represented as a separate managed server.

About Elements in the Standard Installation Topology Illustration

The standard installation topology typically includes common elements.

The following table describes all elements of the topology illustration:

Element	Description and Links to Related Documentation
APPHOST	A standard term used in Oracle documentation to refer to the machine that hosts the application tier.
DBHOST	A standard term used in Oracle documentation to refer to the machine that hosts the database.
WebLogic Domain	A logically related group of Java components (in this case, the Administration Server, Managed Servers, and other related software components). See What Is an Oracle WebLogic Server Domain? in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Administration Server	Central control entity of a WebLogic domain. It maintains configuration objects for that domain and distributes configuration changes to Managed Servers. See What Is the Administration Server? in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Enterprise Manager	The Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control is a primary tool used to manage a domain. See Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Cluster	A collection of multiple WebLogic Server instances running simultaneously and working together. See Overview of Managed Servers and Managed Server Clusters in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Machine	A logical representation of the computer that hosts one or more WebLogic Server instances (servers). Machines are also the logical glue between the Managed Servers and the Node Manager. In order to start or stop the Managed Servers using the Node Manager, associate the Managed Servers with a machine.
Managed Server	A host for your applications, application components, web services, and their associated resources. See Overview of Managed Servers and Managed Server Clusters in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Infrastructure	A collection of services that include the following: Metadata repository (MDS) contains the metadata for Oracle Fusion Middleware components, such as the Oracle Application Developer Framework.

About Installing Oracle User Messaging Service

Oracle User Messaging Service (UMS) is a software technology that enables two-way communication between users and deployed applications.

See Introduction to Oracle User Messaging Service in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle User Messaging Service.

UMS is included in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure distribution. It installs as part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure standard installation topology, as described in About Installing Oracle User Messaging Service (UMS) in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing and Configuring the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure .

UMS runtime components consist of an Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard template and an Oracle Fusion Middleware schema, which is installed into a supported database by using the Repository Creation Utility (RCU).

For development, you can install and use Oracle JDeveloper 12c to develop applications that can take advantage of UMS features. See Introducing Oracle JDeveloper in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing Oracle JDeveloper.

About Oracle WebCenter Content Scale Up

Oracle WebCenter Content supports only one Inbound Refinery Managed Server per node per domain, and one WebCenter Content Managed Server per node, per domain.

You cannot scale up Inbound Refinery or WebCenter Content. To add Managed Servers in a cluster, see Scaling Out a Topology (Machine Scale Out)in the Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide to add a Managed Server to a new node.

Using This Document to Extend an Existing Domain

The procedures in this guide describe how to create a new domain. The assumption is that no other Oracle Fusion Middleware products are installed on your system.

If you have installed and configured other Oracle Fusion Middleware products on your system (for example, Fusion Middleware Infrastructure, with a domain that is up and running) and wish to extend the same domain to include Oracle WebCenter Content, see Installing Multiple Products in the Same Domain.
