Theme improvements

Modular theme architecture – no changes New lightweight profiles have been added and full profile removed Reduced Dojo dependence

Most out-of-the Box content and features do not require Dojo and are based on a lightweight theme profile

No longer required to load Dojo libray in order to benefit from features like tagging and rating, search, ...

Simplification of JSP files New EL Beans to support an easier theme programming model

ProfileListBean ProfileBean

Theme Analyzer out of the box to analyze theme opt components such as modules and profiles.. (Control Center for cache invalidations , Dynamic CS and remote debugging etc..)

Provide more useful information when a theme error happens along the way Syntax checking of profiles and modules show up in the reports and displayed visually on the navigation menu.


Search Updates– Installation and configuration of Remote search service using IBM

Install Manager

– Dictionary based language support– User query correction – 'Did you mean?'– Search Service Configuration – 'boostingSettings'

–

Web Application Bridge (WAB)– Improved UX (Revamped VWA Manager Portlet and WebDock Portlet)

– Content Provider profiles are used to define the profiles and policies (no vwat app or context root as before)

– Page Editor can use pre-configured webDock portlet – Use of existing credential slots (not creating new each time)– Client Side plugins – inject JS code to customize webDock display.– Moved from using sdcommons to HTTP Outbound as reverse Proxy


● Integrate social data that is hosted on a remote IBM Connections server in the context of portal pages.

● Page editors can define social lists. A social list shows the results of a specific query for social data from IBM Connections.● lists of blog posts, files, or

discussion topics● use inline editing capabilities to

select the visual appearance of the social list

● Extend using DDC profiles for IBM connections

Available out of the box, and can be enabled by calling./ConfigEngine.sh action-enable-social-rendering

Mobile Updates (Responsive - Adaptive - Hybrid )


What's new in WCM 8.5


WCM Content Security

Consistency with Portal Security concepts‒ Reviewer and Draft creator are being introduced to the entire Portal system. This will replace the

"Approver" role in WCM.‒ Reviewer performs actions like Approve, reject , next stage and previous stage. ‒ Draft creator performs actions like Create draft and Restart Workflow.

‒ Prior to 8.5 the Approver role could only be assigned via a workflow. Not on individual items or via inheritance.

‒ In 8.5 the new roles can be defined on any item, or via a workflow. WCM will now expose “Propagation” in Access Control.

New in V8.5(and in 8.0)

15



Attribute Based Security (already shipped on Catalog for V8.0.0.1)

• It is an access filter for WCM contents.

• Access Control permission is extended beyond user and group based decisions.

• Criteria might involve categories, keywords, textComponents, htmlComponents or shortTextComponents for an item

• Content Authors can “filter” WCM Content based on attributes

• Content visible for users only with matching attributes (E.g. geography, organization, role,..)

• Matching logic is implemented in custom plugin class in PAC via Public API

• Result

‒ Simple usage for Content Author

‒ Combinations hard to cover with groups

‒ Flexible matching logic


16


The video files are stored on the Brightcove video-cloud, it reduces the overload for WCM to store and manage these large files.

Enables content marketers to seamlessly incorporate videos

– Browse, search, preview, insert and upload videos to Brightcove

Leverages best in class video platform capabilities from Brightcove

– Intelligent player that optimizes playback by auto detecting bandwidth and device type.

– Branded experiences with WYSIWYG player styling

– Broad reach using Content Distribution Network(CDN) delivery for fast, secure playback. It provides high availability and high performance.

Syndication

Features in brief:

● Smarter retry of Syndication that completes without user intervention. Improved error handling and troubleshooting.

● Brand new diagnostic interface introduced to show the status of Syndication and error in detail.

● Cross version Syndication is now supported across Portal versions, e.g. 7.0.0.2 to 8.0.

● Catalog Syndication is introduced for Rebuild Subscriber.


Smarter Retry Error classifications allow us to understand when to retry an

individual failing item


Error Classification

Some errors occur because of integrity constraints Retry wastes time

Classification Retry Simple Description

External Dependency 0 This item is not configured to syndicate, yet it has dependent items which are blocked

Invalid Reference 0 This item contains a reference to an item that is not configured to syndicate

Blocked Dependency 0 This item will syndicate automatically when its dependencies have syndicated

Blocked on Parent 0 This item will syndicate automatically when its parent has syndicated

Name Conflict 0 This item cannot be syndicated because there is a name conflict on the subscriber



Other failures are caused by unexpected conditions Often transient can succeed on retry


Fetch Error 1+ A network error occurred while fetching the item from the syndicator

Storage Error 1+ A storage error occurred on the subscriber (disk full?)

Update IO Error 1 An error occurred while saving the item in the subscriber database

System Error 1 An unexpected system error occurred, details can be found in the subscriber log

Managed Pages Error 0 Dynamic – we surface subscriber side MP errors without knowing their content


Diagnostic Interface

In addition to smarter syndication behavior the model of failures and their dependencies allows for a feature rich diagnostic UI

● Filters problem list down to the smallest set of root causes● Fully explains available options to correct syndication● Allows relationships between affected items to be

explored● Links directly to authoring UI


Web Content Syndicators


Syndication Status in the Authoring UI

Authors can now see syndication status for each syndicator in the authoring form for an item

Authors can also link directly to the diagnostic UI


Catalog Syndication

A new syndication protocol used for rebuild only● Does not rely on the event log● Queries the JCR directly● Compares each and every item from source and target● It is a self correcting architecture. Since the source and

target JCR repositories are compared directly in their entirety, differences can always be detected and corrected.

● It contrasts to the use of an event log where an error can remain undetected, if the eventlog is out of sync.


CTC Versions included

● Portal 8.5 includes CTC version 4.2● A prerequisite of CTC version 4.2 is that Portal 8.5 is present.● The WebSphere Portal toolbar must be installed for Content

Template Catalog to install correctly ● By default on WebSphere Portal 8.5,this is enabled.● If you have migrated from Portal 7.0.x or 8.0.x,then you

have to enable the WebSphere Portal toolbar.

● The "Hidden Pages" label and "Page Templates" label are required for Content Template Catalog to install correctly.

●

Note : these labels are not installed if you create an empty virtual portal. If you have installed an empty virtual portal, these labels must be created manually.





● CTC does not support Apache DB.● CTC and site builder can be installed either on a base or content

profile● When installing on a base profile the CTC install will enable both

Web Content Manager and Personalization before installing Content Template Catalog and Site Builder

●




New features in CTC4.2

● New theme in CTC4.2 (supports and requires the WebSphere Portal 8.5 theme)

● Dojo 1.9 Support● CTC demo site : Available in English, Arabic, German, Spanish and

Chinese if you install or upgrade using the option CTC_MLS=true ● All text and rich text fields throughout Content Template Catalog are

now editable using the new "embed" mode for inline editing ● When using CTC 4.2, the following Web Content Manager

parameters are set ● inplaceEdit.defaultModeForRichText=embed

● This means all inplace edit rich text elements use embed mode by default, not just for Content Template Catalog, but for all inplace edit rich text elements.

● inplaceEdit.defaultModeForText=embed ● This means all inplace edit text elements use embed

mode by default, not just for Content Template Catalog, but for all inplace edit text elements.

●




New features in CTC4.2 contd...

● CTC rendering plugins "If Empty", "If Not Empty", "If Device", "If Not Device" and "Get Date are added to WCM 8.5 and hence not installed along with CTC 4.2

●

● Content Template Catalog rendering plug-ins "Render Attribute" and "Render Parameter" have been removed . WCM rendering plug-ins "Request Attribute" and "Request Parameter" must be used instead.

●

● CTC rendering plug-ins "If Equal", "If Not Equal" and "Encode" are deprecated. Instead WCM rendering plug-ins "Equals", "Not Equals" and URLEncode" must be used instead.

●

● CTC 4.2 doesn’t require managed pages to be enabled (which was a must in previous CTC versions)

●

● Tagging and Rating are enabled in the CTC Content Profile

Social Rendering

For more info: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHRKX_8.5.0/mp/social/plrf_ovu.dita?lang=en

IBM Digital Data Connector (DDC) for WebSphere PortalYou can use the IBM Digital Data Connector (DDC) for WebSphere®

Portal framework to integrate data from external data sources on your portal pages by using IBM® Web Content Manager presentation components. External data means that the data does not need to be stored directly in IBM Web Content Manager. For example, you can use DDC to render social data that you have on your IBM Connections server or on other social platforms in the context of your portal pages. Other possible data sources include news feeds, task lists, product catalog information, to name just a few.

DDC makes it faster & easier for your website designers to generate the web page markup for your external data. They can manage the design components in the same way as your other WCM content and design components which makes it easier to visualize the external data in a way that is consistent with the corporate design of your overall website by reusing existing WCM components and no need to write transformation code.

There is a generic XML DDC plug-in that is built in to DDC that can integrate remote XML data without having to write/deploy extra Java code. No need to write transformation code.

Allows digital experience designers to customize and extend content using WCM to publish to any device

Brightcove Integration

HD Video streaming is becoming increasingly important to engage users – customers/employees/partners.

In previous releases, customers were able to use our XDX products and Brightcove together, however, it was much more challenging. Now we have a much tighter, seamless integration between our product sets.

What does Brightcove do? They are the market leading online video platform to publish and distribute video across any device – so PCs, smartphones, tablets and even connected TVs. We know that having this type of content can improve customer or viewer engagement, and Brightcove makes it much easier for content marketers to browse, search, edit, and include these videos across their digital interactions.

Brightcove can automatically detect the bandwidth and device that is requesting the video content, and will select the asset that can be optimally played on that device. It is the best way to provide an exceptional experience with video to our customers, and now with this latest release, it is even easier to do the integration between XDX and Brightcove.

● Filters problem list down to the smallest set of root causes● Fully explains available options to correct syndication● Allows relationships between affected items to be

explored● Links directly to authoring UI


Syndication Status in the Authoring UI

Authors can now see syndication status for each syndicator in the authoring form for an item

Authors can also link directly to the diagnostic UI


Catalog Syndication

A new syndication protocol used for rebuild only● Does not rely on the event log● Queries the JCR directly● Compares each and every item from source and target● It is a self correcting architecture. Since the source and

target JCR repositories are compared directly in their entirety, differences can always be detected and corrected.

● It contrasts to the use of an event log where an error can remain undetected, if the eventlog is out of sync.



● Portal 8.5 includes CTC version 4.2● A prerequisite of CTC version 4.2 is that Portal 8.5 is present.● The WebSphere Portal toolbar must be installed for Content

Template Catalog to install correctly ● By default on WebSphere Portal 8.5,this is enabled.● If you have migrated from Portal 7.0.x or 8.0.x,then you

have to enable the WebSphere Portal toolbar.

● The "Hidden Pages" label and "Page Templates" label are required for Content Template Catalog to install correctly.

●

Note : these labels are not installed if you create an empty virtual portal. If you have installed an empty virtual portal, these labels must be created manually.
