The company I work for is trying to move its site from an already perfectly working Juma content manager to an oracle webcenter content manager, since everything we use is Oracle and the upper management decided to spend 100,000 a year on something we don't use. Well, now the board is onto us so we have to make use of it, so we have begun the migration.
We have had a team already make a lot of the development needed to represent our site. (they live in india, are not affiliated with the company, and hard to talk to and get a hold of) I need to make a program or script that will import content into the site and into articles on the site. The content I'm pumping is all text than 1 to 3 images. I have never worked with webcenter so I dove into the database. BIG MISTAKE. The database is very ambiguous and I think oracle doesn't want developers in there. There is very little documentation on it. It seems. If there is an inexpensive suite of tools or anyone out there that can give me an insight it would save me ALOT OF TIME. If I knew the layout of this beast I could wip up code in no time and get this off my desk. I have limited credentials to this system so any suite that is abrasive and needs to be configured with the site is not an option for me. I don't have time to make a ton of phone calls. I NEED to work directly with the database.
I need to:
Be able to edit parents and their underlying children.
Be able to find and upload an image blob...I need to get an image displayed on the site via db.
Add new instances of these parents and their children (the product)
We have a product with multiple fields with descriptions, we have tabs that go to more fields and one tab that goes to an image representing the product. There's a parent that holds the product. The parent and the product seem to have multiple tables. If you need more detail on my issue let me know.
