For the second post in our 11g “How To” series, we’ll be sharing some installation tips for Oracle’s Site Studio.

Site Studio for External Applications allows for a Site Studio site to be delivered through an application server.  It also allows for design time activities to be done in Oracle jDeveloper.

Installing Site Studio:

There are some gaps in the documentation, so here is the process to follow:

1. Follow the instructions in this section for getting the components enabled on the content server.
2. Set IntradocServerPort=4444 (or the applicable port) through the Enterprise Manager

Importing RIDC extension into jDeveloper:

(Help -> Check For Updates -> Source -> Install From file)
%MIDDLEWARE_HOME%/Oracle_ECM1/ucm/Distribution
/RIDC/jdev

Importing Site Studio extension into jDeveloper:

(Help -> Check For Updates -> Source -> Install From file)
%MIDDLEWARE_HOME%/Oracle_ECM1/ucm/Distribution/
SiteStudioExternalApplications/jdev

Good luck and look for more “How To” posts coming soon!

Here’s the first of our ECM 11g “How To” series where we’ll share tips and tricks for the technically-oriented folks.

For the most part, you can follow the installation guide found here.

However, there are a couple of things that are not quite right in the guide.

1. You must create the domain after you have run the UCM installer.  When creating the domain, you must launch the configuration from the start menu (or  navigate to it directly in {Middleware_Home}\Oracle_ECM11g\common\bin\config.cmd)
2. If you have spaces in your PATH environment variable, you may need to edit the {base_domain}\bin\startWebLogic.cmd to explicitly set the path.  On my machine I added the following on line 73:
   set PATH=C:\apps\Oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin;C:
   \Java\jdk1.6.0_16_32bit\bin;%SystemRoot%\
   system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;

In addition, there are a couple things you must do when installing in Windows 7:

1. When running the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard,  you will get dependency errors when trying to generate an automatically configured domain. Before running this tool, you must browse to the {Middleware_Home}/oracle_common. You will be prompted by UAC. After browsing to that directory the wizard should work.
