Additional Notes

Note 1:

This new installation option supports the separation of duty model. The installation process can now be separated and executed by two different administrator roles, the database administrator and the application administrator.
For more details please see chapter 4 in the ECMSDK Installation Guide.

Note 2:

To change the group index update mode from synchronous (default) to asynchronous, you can use the following script command:

cd $EMSDK_HOME
./ecmsdk script install/config/UpdateAclIndex.def

Note 3:

The new GroupMembershipCache can increase the overall performance of security checks if larger group hierarchies are in-place. Depending on the number of group memberships configured in the system the startup process of the ECMSDK node can take a bit longer, as the caches are initially populated during this startup phase.

To make use of the new GroupMembershipCache, you need to enable it by setting the following ServiceProperty:

IFS.SERVICE.GroupMembershipCacheEnabled = true

Note 4:

The new ECMSDK Activity module improves and simplifies the communication and collaboration between users and/or devices. Any action can be recorded and automatically processed for easy context-sensitive information access. In addition, data is enriched with statistics and provide personalized delta states and views on activities.

This outstanding product feature enables the modeling of many user and data driven use cases in the real world. For example, social intranet actions such as "follow", "like" or "suggest" can be captured and summarized for documents or other supporting data objects, and can be tracked in an organized manner by users with access to the object. Many other use cases in the area of IoT or Smart Data can also benefit from this product enhancement.

From a technical point of view, each data object in the ECMSDK repository can be enabled for activities. The object can be a traditional content management object (such as a document or forum post entry), or any object that models a real world entity such as an electronic device or a car. The activity of an object is comprised of the set of actions that were performed with it as its target. Predefined actions are provided out of the box and can be easily extended. Every single action contains a variety of detailed information such as the actor, action type, timestamp, and objects related to the action. The behavior of actions can be configured and customized via Activity Specification objects. Advanced search and filter options allow for a fine-grained analysis and evaluation of tracked activities.

In addition to the Activity API, numerous new ECMSDK business objects will be introduced to simplify context-sensitive conversations such as MessageList, MessageEntry, Conversation, ContactList, and Attachment. For a full list of new ECMSDK objects introduced in the ECMSDK 2.0 release, please refer to the API summary bundled with this release under ECMSDK_HOME/docs/api.

Note 5:

The database schema that was used in previous Oracle CM SDK installations for Oracle Workflow functionality will not be installed anymore starting with ECMSDK 2.0. Oracle Workflow was shipped by Oracle until late 2007. This schema was left in for compatibility reasons. Today, similar functionality can be achieved in different ways, such as inxire Processes or other BPEL engines.

Upgrading an existing Oracle CM SDK or ECMSDK 1.0 installation will not remove this schema for data security reasons. This unused schema could be removed manually after patching to ECMSDK 2.0 with the following SQL command, executed by system

drop user ECMSDK$WF cascade;

Note 6:

The following additional ServiceProperties have been added with the ECMSDK 2.2 release to support better configuration of Multi-Threaded LibrarySessions:

• IFS.SERVICE.MaximumClonedSessions
  This property defines the maximum number of cloned sessions you can generate from a master session. Default value is 0, which means unlimited. If the limit is reached an exception is thrown

• IFS.SERVICE.ClonedSessionRetryPeriod
  This property defines the period in milliseconds after which another check will be made to look for an available session in the cloned session pool, before an exception is thrown. Default value is 100ms.

Note 7:

The following formats have been added with the ECMSDK 2.2 release and are therefore now searchable out of the box:

• MS Word (docx)

• MS Powerpoint (pptx)

• MS Excel (xlsx)

• Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM)

• Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

• StarOffice Document

• StarOffice Picture

• StarOffice SpreadSheet

• StarOffice Slides

• XML Document Type

• XML Stylesheet

• Resource Description Framework (RDF)

• OpenDocument Text

• OpenDocument Spreadsheet

• OpenDocument Presentation

• OpenDocument Drawing

• OpenDocument Chart

• OpenDocument Formula

• OpenDocument Database

• OpenDocument Image

Note 8:

In the case of an unexpected exception, e.g. database unavailable, the background processes now go into a sleep mode, waiting until the repository is available again. The following optional ServerConfiguration property can be set to define the period the background processes should check for the status of the repository:

IFS.SERVER.TIMER.ServiceAvailabilityCheckPeriod

The default value of this property is 30 seconds (30s).

Note 9:

In addition to the possibility to deploy a ECMSDK Node to an application server, you can run an ECMSDK Node standalone. There are new commands available to do this from command-line:

ecmsdk node.start

and

ecmsdk node.stop

For more details please see chapter 7 in the ECMSDK Installation Guide.
