Webcenter, BPM Process Spaces – UCM PS5

Oracle Webcenter bpm process spaces PS5

It is assumed that you have already installed Webcenter, ECM and SOA Suite. this blog will not focus on installation – this would be focused around how to get BPM Process spaces enabled in the Webcenter. I would suggest you use Standard Desktop Machine rather than using a virtual machine if you are trying this and also it should have enough RAM available , I am using Ubuntu OS lets see How RAM is Utilized.

Just Oracle XE Database Running (around 2 GB)

Added Admin Server with SOA BPM Running around 4.3 GB
[email protected]:~$ cd /home/james/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/wcsoa_domain/ [email protected]:~/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/wcsoa_domain$ ./startWebLogic.sh ***************************************************** ** Setting up SOA specific environment... ***************************************************** EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES= -da:org.apache.xmlbeans...

Added UCM Managed Server + Webcenter Managed Server = 6.5 GB RAM

Start UCM
[email protected]:~/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/wcsoa_domain/bin$ ./startManagedWebLogic.sh UCM_server1 http://localhost:7001 ***************************************************** ** Setting up SOA specific environment... ***************************************************** EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES= -da:org.apache.xmlbeans...
Start Webcenter
[email protected]:~/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/wcsoa_domain/bin$ ./startManagedWebLogic.sh WC_Spaces http://localhost:7001 ***************************************************** ** Setting up SOA specific environment... ***************************************************** EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES= -da:org.apache.xmlbeans...

So if you plan to configure all this over a 8 GB Laptop and on a VM , things would become difficult that’s why i said its better to have a dedicated 12 GB RAM Machine for running all this.

Extending domain adding spaces template

My Current Domain wcsoa_domain contains Webcenter, ECM, SOA and BPM

STOP SOA/BPM Admin Server and Webcenter Portal before running this command
[email protected]:~/Oracle/Middleware$ cd oracle_common/common/bin/ james@james:~/Oracle/Middleware/oracle_common/common/bin$ ./config.sh

we also need to extend the domain with bpm template located at
/home/james/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_SOA1/common/templates/applications/oracle.bpm_template_11.1.1.jar

Click couple of Next Buttons , that should get installed.

Content server configuration

Open Content Server Component Manager

Ensure that “Webcenter Configure” is checked

NOTE : the following

Checked : ZipRenditionManagement
Checked :InboundRefinerySupport
Checked :DynamicConverter
Un-Checked: FrameworkFolders

Open Advanced Component Manager

Ensure Folder_g is Enabled.

bpm process portal configuration

Go to /home/james/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_SOA1/bpm/process_spaces DIrectory and Edit process-portal-install.properties file
[email protected]:~/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_SOA1/bpm/process_spaces$ gedit process-portal-install.properties
Refer this file , Note this PS5 file is different from PS4 Release

Ensure that Path is set properly and then run the Ant Script
