Oracle UCM 11g Now Released!
June 8, 2010 - 7:42am — bex
Good news! The 11g version of Oracle UCM is finally available! This version is a bit of a re-write to run on top of the WebLogic application server. Oracle has been talking about this release for some time, so I'm glad to see it finally available.
Despite the architecture change, the basic administration interface should be familiar to existing UCM customers. The install is a lot different, and you'll need to learn basic WebLogic application server administration. This isn't as tough as it sounds... you can refer to my presentation on the top 10 things UCM admin need to know about WebLogic to get started. Once you wrap your head around the concepts of instances, servers, and domains, it's not too difficult.
There are a ton of new performance enhancements in this release... when using a half-rack Exadata Machine, they were able to get 180 million 100k document check-ins per day. Note: these are full document check-ins; not merely lightweight "object" storage. Now that UCM is the repository for IPM, you can imagine how Exadata makes an excellent addition to a high-ingestion setup.
Download performance is pretty good as well... using the new Open WCM technologies, Oracle was getting about 120 Site Studio web page hits per second on commodity hardware... Is that a lot? Well, by way of comparison, Wikipedia has a farm of 249 servers, and each node gets on average 80-200 hits per second per server... sometimes spiking to 250... and Wikipedia is using a very lightweight LAMP stack, as opposed to the full enterprise JEE stack that Oracle was using for their tests. I'm sure with a additional tuning (like a CDN) you could get more than 120 hits per second with UCM... but as a general rule, if you need more than 120 hits per second, you really need more than one server!
You can download the new software in the usual place. The documentation is bundled with the rest of the Oracle Fusion Middleware documentation,
Since 11g is so new... Oracle University doesn't have any training for it yet. Luckily, my company -- Bezzotech -- can do Oracle UCM 11g training if you need it.
Hi Bex, I already noticed
Hi Bex,
I already noticed the 11gR1 download two days ago, and wanted to try it out of course. But unfortunately, all the downloads on the Oracle site have been broken for three days (at least for users outside of the USA). There is a thread about this on Oracle Forums: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1082972&start=0&tstart=0.
Do you know if all the components are still working on the new 11g version (such as Site Studio).
Also, I'm currently involved in a project developing an intra/internet portal environment based on WebCenter (including Spaces for collaboration) using UCM as Content Repository. The project is in the startup phase, would you recommend using the 11g version, or keeping to the 10g since 11g might have a lot of bugs to be fixed.
try edelivery
Look for the UCM 11g media pack in the fusion middleware pack:

Regarding 11g versus 10g... I believe you'll probably want some pieces of both. If you're not going to upgrade to 11g now, you should at least see if some of the new features might still be compatible with 10g. The desktop client for one... and Site Studio for External Applications as another.
Thanks, I was able to access
Thanks, I was able to access edelivery.com
The Site Studio for external applications is really relevant to us, since we're designing a portal with the content stored in UCM. Probably the design will be done in WebCenter (not bothering with placeholders and regions in Site Studio), but we would like some sort of inline editing of content (with support for embedded images), without requiring users to log in to UCM or use Site Studio. Do you know if this feature in 11g includes more than introduced in Site Studio 10gR4?
There's now a JDeveloper plugin too, but what it does exactly and if it replaces Site Studio I don't know.
UCM 11g installation
Hi,
I have installed UCM 11g successfully on my desktop for development purpose. I am facing couple of challenges with the same.
First one, I am not able to access the admin applets from browser.
Secondly, I am also not able to access the standalone admin applets. I am being asked to enter the user id and password, but once i enter the credentials given during RCU setup , i get the prompt saying - The system could not log you on. Make sure your username is correct and is an administrator, then type your password again.
I have tried a lot of things, but not getting any get through in this.
Any pointers would really help.
Thanks,
Abhilash
Re: UCM 11g installation
You should be able to use the admin applets through the web interface... are you sure you followed all the install steps?
Unfortunately, before launching the admin applets from the command-line, you need to create a "local" user in UCM. You won't be able to use the weblogic user, nor the 'sysadmin' user with the stand-alone applets.
Hi, May I know which OS
Hi,\jdk160_18\jre', I am getting the exception "Could not find the main class: oracle.sysman.oio.oioc.OiocOneClickInstaller. Program will exit".
May I know which OS you are using for development? I have downloaded generic version of Oracle ECM and tried to install it on Windows XP. While attempting to run setup from command line as 'setup.exe -jreLoc
I have tried use jrockit jre as well without any luck. Did you face similar problem? If yes, can you please share how you resolved this?
Thanks in advance,
Dip
- login using weblogic user.
- login using weblogic user. UserId : weblogic!!

WCM (Site Studio)
Does the 11g upgrade affect site studio at all is there an upgrade for site studio?
Re: WCM (Site Studio)
The WCM upgrade was released last year: Site Studio 10gr4. The differences between 11g Site STudio and 10gr4 Site STudio are very minor... but if you haven't yet upgraded to 10gr4, then you have some work ahead of you... You can still run old sites in back-compatability mode, but you won't be able to take advantage of a lot of the new 11g features until you update your site to use placeholder.
Upgrading from UCM 10 to 11g requires WebLogic purchase
It appears that upgrading from UCM 10g to UCM 11g (ECM 11g - officially, I guess) will require the purchase of WebLogic licenses for those that do not already have WebLogic licensed on their UCM 10g server - at least that is what I was told by a Customer Service Representative via an Oracle SR. We are trying to confirm this with our Oracle sales rep.

UCM byepassing Login
Hi,
When i am trying to change the content of the website in the contributor mode, it is challenging for the user name and password.
I would like to bypass UCM login to change the content (redirecting browser to the particular website). I mean to directly get into the contributor mode.
thanks.
UCM byepassing Login continued ...
i am using UCM11g in my project. So kindly let me know if it possible to do it with respect to 11g. or else if there is any other work around possible to bypass login situation.
Workflows and Indexing
After upgrading to 11g what will happen to content items in workflow? Also, is there a need for re-indexing the content?
Oracle UCM Version history
Can someone publish the Version history of Oracle UCM/ECM? I understand that 11gR1 was released in Jun-2010 and Oracle WebCenter content (etc.) were released in Jul-2011. I am not able to understand / find the transition (of releases) from 11gR1 to 11gR3 to Oracle Webcenter. If someone can publish this, it would be great.
Many Thanks.
Rgds,
Rajan.
