Overview of this book

Oracle UCM is a world-leading Enterprise Content Management platform. From Document Management, Web, Records, and more—Oracle has got all your business needs covered. Oracle UCM enables your organization to efficiently manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and documents. Written by Oracle ACE Dmitri Khanine, this book is a complete practical guide to building an ECM system and successfully configuring, administering, and operating it. It also shows you how to efficiently manage your organization's content and customize the UCM to fit your needs. This book wastes no time in getting you up and running and dives straight into the installation of the content server in Chapter 1. In the second chapter, you will master all the major controls and the admin interface. Metadata—a very important ingredient of any ECM—is thoroughly covered in Chapter 3. The book then moves on to the important tasks of securing your ECM system, configuring and managing workflows, and understanding and implementing virtual folders. The book also gives you an under-the-hood view of Stellent in Chapter 7. In the later chapters, you will learn how to migrate content like a pro and easily customize Oracle ECM. A bonus addition to the book is the final chapter, which is an easy-to-follow primer on web content management.

You will learn the core administration and operations of content server. More specifically, you will learn:

  • How to check and update server configuration, what configuration settings are available, and which ones do you need to look at for your task at hand

  • How to troubleshoot Content Server and where to find vital diagnostic information

  • How to add and remove users from the system and how to update user information

  • What other ways you can use to bring in new content

Before you know it, this chapter will take you to the next level of understanding of Oracle Content Server. It won't take you nearly as long as Content Server installation! Let's get into this.
