Notas do Editor
- A Definition from the Oracle website.Why do we need WebCenter Services.
- Task flow - Business function e.g. Show documents updated by a certain user group or user.
- >This is how they are categorized in terms of their usage.>Please note this diagram is not up-to-date as it only contains18, but you saw 21 on the previous slide.The following have changed their names:>Oracle WebCenter Pagelet Producer = Oracle WebCenter Ensemble>Oracle WebCenter Analytics = Analytics
- AnnouncementsOffers an effective group communication mechanism for important information around activities, events, processes, and overall updatese.g. – system downtime or company product launch. Activity GraphsEnables tracking of any kind of activity that the user performs in order to influence results and recommendations from other services. For example, most Social Computing sites today provides a means for users to post their own information about their personal activities, accomplishments, thoughts, and friends. However, when used in a business context the work that a user does (posting documents, resolving customer escalations, wining a sales bid, developing a new product or service, etc.) must influence the user's expertise as seen by other users. The Activity Graphs service provides an extensible engine to log, track, analyze, and recommend a user's items and actions that the person might find helpful. For example, if you wanted to resolve a specific customer complaint, then you would like to find another person in the organization who has dealt with a similar problem. The Activity Graphs services allows for these experts to be identified and surfaced to any user's network.Set upThe scores are stored in the WebCenter Activity Graph database. Activity Graph Engines is installed as an application on the WC_Utilities managed server.To access Activity Graph Engines, use the following URL:http://host:port/activitygraph-engines The default port number for Activity Graph is 8891.
- AnalyticsEnables users to create usage reports for any custom application or portal. Use Analytics to determine >the most important pages of the deployed application or portal, >the most used content items, the most active Spaces, >and the number of users visiting these different sites and services. Analytics additionally >provides recommendations to make the Activity Graph service even more valuable. >Analytics delivers the type of information business users require to determine how they allocate their resources to enhance and improve the most important areas of the site.Set up>The Analytics service requires the Analytics schema (activities) to be installed. >By default, Analytics Collector is installed on the WC_Utilities managed server on port 8891.>Out-of-the-box, the Analytics Collector is configured to receive events using installation defaults. However, it is not configured to send events to the Analytics Collector. If you want to collect usage and performance metrics for WebCenter Spaces (or any WebCenter Portal application) you must register the Analytics Collector and enable event collection.
- BlogsProvides the means for an individualor a community to share personal insights with online audiences. This service supports two types of blogs: personal blogs for individual users, and community blogs that enable members to share their views on a particular topic.Connections (USES the Activity Graph)Enables users to quickly assemble their business networks.Its features enable users to manage their personal profiles, access the profiles of other users, provide ad hoc feedback, post messages, track activities, and connect with others.Task flows:CardDetailed ViewMain ViewNetworkQuick viewMessage boardActivity streamConnectionsFeedback
- Discussionln addition, there are many different Task Flows or portlets for hot topics, favourite or watched topics, and more recently updated topics. The Discussions service is delivered with a comprehensive backend discussion server that handles many advanced features, such as profanity filters, e-mail/mailing list integration, and post and poster banning.e.g. Create a discussion about a specific documentDocument ****Enables users to display and manage their documents and files in a content repository. The Document Library Task Flow or portlet surfaces many features of the underlying repository including versioning of content items, tagging items, checking items in and out, linking content to other services, and connecting with the author of the document directly. The Document Library service leverages JCR and third-party adapters to connect to different backend repositories. As part of Oracle WebCenter Portal 11gR1, an embedded use of Oracle WebCenter Content's document management is included and is delivered as part of the integrated install of Oracle WebCenter Portal.Task lists in the document serviceContent Presenter - display 1,multiple pages based on a query lists etc [Only for Oracle Content Servers]Document Explorer - search documentsDocument Manager - management capabilities of documentsDocument Navigator – The navigation structure of files and foldersDocument ViewerDocument Folder View – Folder view of a folder in a repositoryDocument List Viewer – Lists of documentsDocument Mini Properties – Metadata relating to the documentDocument Properties – Full tile of document metadataDocument Recent Documents – recent documents updatedDocument Rich Text EditorDocument UploadVersion historyFolder Viewer
- Events >The Events service, which is available only in WebCenter Spaces, provides group calendars and personal calendars. To provide the group calendar functionality, the Events service does not require any separate back-end component. To support personal calendars, the Events service relies on Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.>Additionally, a dedicated Events page is available to every Space where the moderator has enabled the Events service.>The Events service also enables you to view your own personal Microsoft Exchange calendar within your Home Space. In addition, you can overlay Space calendars on top of that calendar, so that you can view your entire schedule in a single calendar.Task listCalendar MainCalendar MiniInstant MessagingEnables users to see who in their community is online and provides instant access to interaction options, such as sending an instant message, writing an e-mail, and displaying a peer's profile. There is also a task flow or portlet that displays the user's list of buddies. The Presence service also is available as a tag that can be added to any page to quickly "activate" any username on the screen. It works directly with Oracle WebCenter Real-Time Collaboration and other SIP-based platforms like Microsoft Office Communications Server.
- Instant MessagingEnables users to see who in their community is online and provides instant access to interaction options, such as sending an instant message, writing an e-mail, and displaying a peer's profile. There is also a task flow or portlet that displays the user's list of buddies. The Presence service also is available as a tag that can be added to any page to quickly "activate" any username on the screen. It works directly with Oracle WebCenter Real-Time Collaboration and other SIP-based platforms like Microsoft Office Communications Server.
- Links (Golden – there are links, white – no links)Provides an easy way for users to share their knowledge with others. Often, there are many tasks that require users to remember the relationship between different items.For example, an employee might have to remember where to file their expense reports and where the document describing the accounting rules for expense reports is stored. Using Links, users can connect items together. In this way, they do not have to rely on memory. Just as important, new users receive the benefit of their work, thus saving significant amounts of time. Developers can add the Links service to any application or portal as a backend service.No hardlinking via URLAutomatically detects all installed services on the application and adjust available links- ListsProvides a means for users to create and manage all types of lists. This is an extremely powerful capability for keeping track of meeting action items, open issues, new product or project ideas, project status, and more. Lists support specific types of data, including a person, string, number, Boolean, and datetime.
- Mail ServiceExposes e-mails from any IMAP-compliant mail server and enables users to perform basic e-mail interactions, such as view, read, create, and delete messages, send attachments, and reply to or forward an existing e-mail. Often, emails contain a list of people working together to resolve an open issue or complete a project. A user can create a Space that leverages the message's list of recipients for its membership. In this way, users focus on the task at hand and not on how they create an area to manage the task.Notes>take quick notes for later use>only available in WebCenter Spaces
- PageletA pagelet is a reusable user interface component similar to a portlet. While portlets were designed specifically for portals, pagelets are designed to run on any web page. Any HTML fragment can be a pagelet.Pagelet developers can also take advantage of many of the features available to portlet developers to write pagelets that are parameterized and configurable, to dynamically interact with other pagelets, and respond to user input using Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX) patterns.
- Page Managing of pages within the application- based on custom or delivered styles, schemes, and Oracle ADF page templates. Styles and schemes define a page's look and feel by specifying the page's structure, layout, layout components, background color, and images. (uses the Create New task flow) (users can simultaneously edit a page and a warning will be given.)>It works with Oracle Composer, which provides personalization features in page view mode and customization features in page edit mode. Use Oracle Composer to edit application pages, add page components, configure pages and page components, and wire pages and components to each other. >In custom WebCenter applications, the Page service and Oracle Composer are separate entities that must each be explicitly added to the application at design-time. For example, a custom WebCenter application might use Oracle Composer and not use the Page Service.Recent Activities ( Similar, but different from the people connection activity stream, which also track people connections.)Enables users to quickly view :>the most recent documents, >discussions, >announcements, >feeds, >and other actions happening in Spaces of which they are a member. Key differences:Recent activities – Activities within the application.Activity stream (people connections) – what's happening with the user connections.*In one location, users can get an aggregated view of items they want to review and work to improve.
- RSSExposes the content of many different Web sites in a news feed viewer and provides an RSS feed for others to consume as well. It provides a quick way of publishing internal information out and consuming external information from many sources to get an aggregated view of what is occurring around the task, process, or activity that is being tracked. Search ServiceAssists users with locating data, documents, experts, and information that are stored anywhere within the enterprise. Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (SES) is integrated with this service.
- TagsProvides a way for users to mark items so that they can find them quickly when required. Additionally, tagging enables users to find items based on their own labels instead of a corporate taxonomy. Since tags are directly integrated with Searching, users can immediately find what they need using personally relevant search terms. The Tags service includes Task Flows or portlets for creating and maintaining a tag, deciding if the tag is shared or private, favorite tags, tags used by others, and a Tag Cloud view.WikisProvides a means of working simultaneously on documents and sharing ideas, either in the context of communities or as individuals. Use wiki syntax directly, or edit wiki pages as you would with any word processor. All changes and versions are tracked.
- WorklistsSurfaces business processes in the context of the current business scenario and enables users to view and take action on all tasks and notifications from a central place.
- Before we go into the demo its worth noting how WebCenter services are added to the page and who can add them.
- 2 – minute Resourcecatalog demo.
- Whats your mind which service.
- In this demo I will demonstrate how some of the WebCenter Services are used in a fictitious company Avitek, to improve its Social and collaborative environment with its Clients (Using the Extranet) and employees (Using the Intranet). In WebCenter Terms this they call this “Web Experience” or “User engagement”. The Avitek demo is built by Oracle and this is what theirSales guys are equipped with to demonstrate the capabilities of WebCenter.Avitek is a fictitious Software company which designs, implements and sells its software to SME and large businesses, like us.It also offers Support services to customers through its extranet. Here the customers can log new support tickets and track their progress e.t.c.On top of this Avitek has various other systems which its employee's uses to do their day to day tasks e.g. HR Systems, CRM and Siebel (for support).
- We will look at how the Avitek Demo has used WebCenter Services to improve the “User engagement” (Sites)For their clients and employees.We will look at:>Announcements>Activity Stream>Blogs>Calendar>Connections>Discussions>Documents>Events >Links>RSS>Tags>Wikis- Smoke and mirrors - >Worklist – simulation of worklists from SOA/BPEL>Instant messaging (Or Presence)
