Recently we implemented a Custom Interface for changing the password in a WebCenter Portal 11.1.1.8 environment. Here I am sharing some of the code to achieve it (taken from WebCenter API). Java Code Snippet: public void setPassword(ActionEvent event) { String METHOD_NAME = "setPassword"; logger.entering(CLASS_NAME, "setPassword"); final String userName = WebCenterSecurityUtils.getUserName(); try { FacesContext fCtx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); Application app = fCtx.getApplication(); // This managed bean returns if the Change Password is allowed in WebCenter boolean allowPasswordChange = ((Boolean)ADFContext.getCurrent().getExpressionEvaluator().evaluate("#{o_w_wa_i_v_b_changePasswordBean.passwordChangeAllowed}")).booleanValue() if (!allowPasswordChange) { logger.fine(CLASS_NAME, "setPassword", "skipping passwd change as admin has disabled it"); WCApplicationContext

Hi. Recently I was asked about how to retrieve the latest login time of a specific user in WebCenter Portal 11.1.1.8 Basically, the solution was consuming WebCenter Analytics schema which holds analytics about user login. SELECT DISTINCT ASDIM_USERS.USERID AS "User", ASFACT_WC_LOGINS_0.OCCURRED as "last_login" FROM ASFACT_WC_LOGINS_0 , ASDIM_USERS WHERE ASFACT_WC_LOGINS_0.USERID = ASDIM_USERS.ID AND ASDIM_USERS.USERID = 'myuser' ORDER BY ASFACT_WC_LOGINS_0.OCCURRED DESC   Obviously, WebCenter Portal has to be configured with WebCenter Analytics Collector for using the above query consuming the ACTIVITIES Schema. Thanks to Paco Roldán for collaborating on it :).

Useful snippet of code for check if your WebCenter Content is using Folders_g or Framework Folders as the Foldering Service in your RIDC Code. The clue is the use of CONFIG_INFO IDC Service. private synchronized void checkFrameworkFoldersEnabled() throws IdcClientException { final String METHOD_NAME = "checkFrameworkFoldersEnabled"; logger.entering(CLASS_NAME, METHOD_NAME); // Get IdcClient and IdcContext if necessary if (!configChecked) { DataBinder binder = idcClient.createBinder(); binder.putLocal("IdcService", "CONFIG_INFO"); DataBinder rb = idcClient.sendRequest(defaultIdcContext, binder).getResponseAsBinder(); DataResultSet resultSet = rb.getResultSet("EnabledComponents"); List<DataObject> components = resultSet.getRows(); for (DataObject component : components) { if (("FrameworkFolders".equals(component.get("name"))) && ("En

GET_FS_DOC_INFO service is an IDC Service that I used in some of my solutions. It provides very useful information regarding to the URLs and Paths of the Documents in WebCenter Content. IsSoap=1 Output of GET_FS_DOC_INFO This service requires the following Input Paramters: dID: Specific Revision ID of the document Why is it too nice this service? :). It retrieves the following useful information: relativeURL: Relative URL to Web Layout File containerLocation: File System Path to the File (without the file name) renditionFiles: In case of having attachments! absoluteURL: Absolute URL to the Web Layout File webViewableFile: File System Path location of the Web Viewable Format primaryFile: File System Path location of the Native Format References (Thanks Jonathan and Sonal): http://contentmgmtsys.blogspot.com/2015/04/ucm-retrieve-vault-and-weblayout-path.html  

I decided to create this blog post based on a quesiton I found on OTN WebCenter Portal Forum . How to retrieve the Page Variants from a given Page Path programatically? Page Variants are created in the same folder of the Page and it uses the following naming convenion: [Source Page Name] +   "_" + [Device Group Name] + "jspx"  Using the following code snippet you can get the Page Variants for the Current Page and then modify it as desired :) public void changeVariantsOfCurrentPage() { // Get Page Service for editing Page Attributes PageService pageService = getEditModePageService(); // Get Current Page Path final String pagePath = (String)ADFContext.getCurrent().getExpressionEvaluator().evaluate("#{pageDocBean.pagePath}"); if ((pagePath != null) && (pagePath.length() > 0)) { // For each possible Device Agent detect if it has a pageVariant List<DeviceGroup> allDeviceGroups = getAllDeviceGroups(); for (DeviceGroup
