I had engagement to setup Oracle WebCenter Portal and Content for a public sector client before. It took a few days to complete. The procedure to setup enterprise level application is not always smooth. Usually you get fairly complete installation guide, but you could get lost very easily because of two many dependencies in those documents.

In order to make everybody’s life easier, I write down below installation steps for Oracle WebCenter Content 11gR2. With this guidance, you could finish it in a cozy afternoon, then enjoy the sunset at beach park.

1. Download software;
   1. VMware WS 12.0.1 Player for Linux 64bit (free) or Virtual Box 5.0.8 (free);
   2. Oracle Database 11g Express (free);
   3. Oracle Fusion Middleware RCU (Repository Creation Utility) 11g (11.1.1.1.9.0) for Linux x86-64 (561M);

Our utility client has a large site with numerous sub-sites that need to be migrated to a new million dollars WCM (Web Content Management) based system. The new site is based on Adobe CQ* which is a neat WCM system.

The problem is the migration can’t be done in one day. In a large organization, the way it works is to migrate sub-sites one by one. The procedure can take a few months or longer. So we need to bridge the legacy site and new one to help on seamless migration. When user accesses the site, user may access the bookmarks or favorite links that they stored in their browsers. Those bookmarks still point to legacy sites even there are newly migrated sites available. What we need do is to find the match in between and redirect the legacy URLs to the new one running on new WCM system.

Nowadays, there are quite a few content management systems available on the market. Almost every big vendor has their own solutions in this arena. IBM got FileNet in early days, HP paid $10B for Autonomy, Oracle has its UCM (acquired from Stellent), Adobe acquired CQ from Day Software.

Except all these big players, Alfresco offers quality open source suite for enterprise content management needs. The solution is impressive. It doesn’t require high-power clustered servers to run, alternatively, you may even install and play with it on your laptop. The implementation of Alfresco presents some big trends in IT industry: quick implementation, modularized, integrated some market-approved products, such as Apache Tomcat, PostgreSQL and LibreOffice (a sibling of OpenOffice), etc.
