Administer Oracle WebCenter Spaces
As an
Oracle Fusion Middleware administrator, you can perform the complete range of security-sensitive administrative duties for all Oracle WebCenter components, as well as all installation, configuration, and audit tasks. To administer and monitor the Oracle WebCenter Spaces component, the Oracle Fusion Middleware administrator can:
- Stop and start Oracle WebCenter Spaces.
- Configure back-end services (such as mail servers, worklist connections, discussions server connections, mail server connections, instant messaging and presence connections, Oracle Secure Enterprise Search connections, and the database connection for group space events, links, lists, notes, and tags).
- Maintain external applications and datasources (such as content repositories, external applications, and portlet producers).
- Configure the identity store to allow for enterprise single sign-on.
- Configure global options (such as SOA connection for group space subscription workflows, wiki services, and worklist items).
- Import and export group spaces and group space templates, or an entire Oracle WebCenter Spaces application, to enable back up or to move content between Oracle WebCenter applications and stage or production environments.
- Use log files to identify and diagnose issues or problems.
- Analyze the performance of Oracle WebCenter Spaces and monitor its current status through Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Within Oracle WebCenter Spaces, the highest application privileges are given to the

- Modify application-wide settings: Name the application, customize the default look and feel, choose a default language, set up discussion forums and RSS news feeds, disable personal spaces, manage group space services, and much more.
