This sample component is AS-IS based, without any kind of support.
The CenteraFileStoreProvider component extends the FileStoreProvider thats extends the standard file store provider that ships with the 10gR3 and 11g core. The standard default provider is the mechanism used to access all the files managed by the content server and in the out-of-the-box version, the files are stored by the usual means.
The CenteraFileStoreProvider uses the XAM Interface to comunicate with the Centera.
XAM API & Library
The XAM API package is intended for developers who are writing XAM code and includes headers and link libraries for compiling code that uses the XAM API. Support for both the C and Java APIs is included; Java support is provided through the use of JNI (Java Native Interface) wrappers around the C libraries.
EMC Centera Vendor Interface Module
The EMC Centera VIM package includes the runtime libraries necessary for loading the Centera support module into a compiled XAM application.
Public Internet EMC Centera Online Clusters connection sample included:
* This list do not apply if you are not using the Public Centera Cluster.
- Should not be used for Proof of Concept (POC) testing for customers.
- Should only be used for Integration Functional Testing.
- Needs the port 3218 (TCP/UDP - inbound/outbound) open in your network (Oracle's network blocks this port).
- EMC clean the environments every 60 days deleting all archived content.
- If your pea file is not working, you probably need to download a new one from: https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-1038
Warning: The recomendation was you perform all necessary backups prior to applying this component. For additional information see the Content Server Getting Started Guide which contains information on System Maintenance and Backup Strategies.
If needed, upgrade your FileStoreProvider. Please see the FileStoreProvider documentation.
Install the CenteraFileStoreProvider component. Preferable using Administration > Component Management
Add the environment variable XAM_VIM_PATH to point to /<csdir>/components/CenteraFileStoreProvider/lib/<platform>/
* sample if using windows:
set XAM_VIM_PATH=c:\\oracle\\wcc\_domain\\ucm\\cs\\components\\CenteraFileStoreProvider\\lib\\windows-amd64\\** sample if using linux:
export XAM_VIM_PATH=/oracle/wcc_domain/ucm/cs/components/CenteraFileStoreProvider/lib/linux64/** sample if using solaris:
export XAM_VIM_PATH=/oracle/wcc_domain/ucm/cs/components/CenteraFileStoreProvider/lib/solaris64/*For Linux and Solaris: Add the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and PATH to point to /<csdir>/components/CenteraFileStoreProvider/lib/<platform>/
** path:
export PATH=$PATH:/oracle/wcc_domain/ucm/cs/components/CenteraFileStoreProvider/lib/linux64/*** ld_library_path:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/wcc_domain/ucm/cs/components/CenteraFileStoreProvider/lib/linux64/*You can include this environment variable in the Start Script of the WebCenter Content
Change the xri String to point to your .pea file and Centera Address,
this could be done editing the centerafilestoreprovider_environment.cfg
file on installdir\custom\CenteraFileStoreProvider
* sample connection string:
CenteraXRI=snia-xam://centera_vim!168.159.214.20?/apps/oracle/fmw/user_projects/wcc/ucm/cs/custom/CenteraFileStoreProvider/pea/c1armtesting.pea*Enable the CenteraFileStoreProvider component
