Oracle Collaboration Suite 10G - OCS FAQ

Q: How to check Content Services version in Oracle Collaboration / OCS

Connect to your content database with user content, (password will be same as ias_admin used during installation, if you have not changed it) & execute query
SQLPLUS> select * from odmz_repositoryparameter where name='SCHEMAVERSION';
You will see output like
SCHEMAVERSION
10.1.2.0.0

Q: You cannot access/configure OCS content folder via Web Folder or ODrive

You are on 10.1.2.0.0 Collaboration Suite, accessing collabsuite content via web folders usign WEBDAV protocol and encountering error message like The Folder you enter doesnot appear to be Valid. You have OID (Oracle Internet Directory) configured with AD(Active Directory).

Check applications.log under OC4J_Content & if you see error message like Caused by:
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-10151: Unable to perform authentication
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-12911: Unable to get user verifier (authpassword); account may be locked
oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-12994: Verifier undefined for user

This Issue was fixed in Content Services patch 10.1.2.1.1 (4915135) but I am sure if you are applying this patch better go for higher patchset which is 10.1.2.3.0 for Content Services - Patch No. 5049515 (at time when this page was last update Aug 2006 ) . Apart from applying this patch you have to do some manual steps mentioned at

Set IFS.DOMAIN.APPLICATION.ApplicationUseHttps to TRUE.
