Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers' existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle's offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.

WebCenter Content Terminology

WebCenter Content documentation uses the following terms when referring to variables in the directories associated with the WebCenter Content and Content Server configuration:

  • IdcHomeDir: This variable refers to the ucm/idc directory in the Oracle WebCenter Content home where the Oracle WebCenter Content server media is located. The server media can run Oracle WebCenter Content Server, Oracle WebCenter Content: Inbound Refinery, or Oracle WebCenter Content: Records software. This is essentially a read-only directory. The default location is WCC_ORACLE_HOME/ucm/idc. The variable portion of the default location can be changed, but the path cannot be changed from ucm/idc.

  • DomainHome: This variable refers to the user-specified directory where an Oracle WebCenter Content application is deployed to run on an Oracle WebLogic Server application server. The DomainHome/ucm/short-product-id/bin directory contains the intradoc.cfg file and executables. The default location for DomainHome is MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/base_domain, but you can change the path and domain name (base_domain) during the deployment of an Oracle WebCenter Content application to an application server.

  • short-product-id: This variable refers to the type of Oracle WebCenter Content server deployed to an application server. This name is used as the context root (default HttpRelativeWebRoot configuration value). Possible values include:

    • cs (Oracle WebCenter Content Server)

    • ibr (Oracle WebCenter Content: Inbound Refinery)

  • IntradocDir: This variable refers to the root directory for configuration and data files specific to an Oracle WebCenter Content instance that is part of an Oracle WebCenter Content application deployed to an application server. This Idoc Script variable is configured for one type of Oracle WebCenter Content instance: Content Server (cs) or Inbound Refinery (ibr). This directory can be located elsewhere, but the default location is DomainHome/ucm/short-product-id. The specified directory must be an absolute path to the instance directory and must be unique to a particular server or node. The directory includes a bin/ directory, which contains the startup files (intradoc.cfg and executables).

    With the introduction and enablement of vertical cluster and scale-up support by default beginning from 12c (12.2.1.1.0) release, a server specific intradoc.cfg will be created along with the original intradoc file and named as:

    <server-name>_intradoc.cfg

    This server specific intradoc.cfg file needs to be updated for any configuration changes to take effect.

    If the existing instance is scaled-up by adding more scale-up instances, then each scaled-up instance will have its own intradoc file, for example:

    UCM_server1HA_intradoc.cfg
