Content Area API Packages

Related topics

Warning - Content Area APIs available in 3.0.8.x and 3.0.9.x will not work with the initial version of Oracle9iAS Portal 9.0.2 (Version 9.0.2). These APIs will be made available in the PDK release after the next version of Oracle9iAS Portal Release 2, currently scheduled for Q2CY2003. This next release of Oracle9iAS Portal will also contain scripts to upgrade the 3.0.9 release to Oracle9iAS Portal Release 2.

Content area APIs are in the packages wwsbr_api and wwsbr_search_api. With the methods in these packages you can create the following:

Content areas
Folders
Items
Custom search screens

Note: You must Commit between creating a new folder and adding items to that folder. If required, a series of add_item calls can be specified. However, you must Commit once all of your item creation calls are complete.

There is a companion script to these packages called sbrapi.sql This script accepts one parameter and will grant select on all the secured content area api views (created in sbrapi.vw) and grant execute on these packages (wwsbr_api and wwsbr_search_api) to the passed SCHEMA. This script must be run as the SCHEMA_OWNER.
