Lotus Workplace Web Content Management
Lotus Workplace Web Content Management (LWWCM) is a key component of the Lotus Workplace solution which helps you manage your corporate content from initial creation to final Web presentation. This content can exist in different forms and formats within your organization. With Lotus Workplace Web Content Management, your information can be freely distributed and instantly updated across all e-business applications, including Internet, intranet, and extranet Web sites.
Lotus Workplace Web Content Management provides collaborative Web content design, approval, caching and staging services. This publishing service is available for Lotus Domino, WebSphere Portal and the IBM DB2 Content Manager. For customers using Domino, Lotus Workplace Web Content provides a compelling way to extend not only Domino applications and content to the Web but also to J2EE environments.These capabilities enable customers to use content integrated not only across key IBM middleware but also across business processes.
Within this redbook, we describe key concepts of content management while also providing an in depth look at the architecture and implementation for both the Domino edition and J2EE edition of Lotus Workplace Web Content Management. We begin by discussing best practices for deployment planning and describe how to install and configure the Lotus Workplace Web Content Management system, Next we discuss the importance of information architecture and site design, using a specific reference example site to illustrate concepts and demonstrate how to create and publish web content using Lotus Workplace Web Content Management . Finally, we address issues of integration within a portal environment, highlighting integration methods, best practices and considerations for presentation and navigation within a portal.
Lotus Workplace 1.1 Deployment Guide
Lotus Workplace consists of flexible, portal-ready collaboration products that you can customize to fit your specific needs. These products provide features similar to those found in the core IBM/Lotus Software portfolio, including Lotus Instant Messaging (Sametime) and Lotus Team Workplace (QuickPlace), but are built on different underlying technology.
Lotus Workplace products include the following:
- IBM Lotus Workplace Messaging
- IBM Lotus Workplace Team Collaboration
- IBM Lotus Workplace Collaborative Learning
- IBM Lotus Workplace Web Content Management
The objective of this redbook is to provide an installation and deployment guide for the overall Lotus Workplace “platform” that is underneath each of these Workplace products. We provide detailed installation procedures for installing the Lotus Workplace products on both a Microsoft Windows 2000 server, as well as a Linux server running Suse Enterprise Server 8.1. Finally, we discuss important deployment and planning scenarios, as well as discussing tips, best practices and techniques for troubleshooting errors during installation.
Lotus Workplace Messaging Administration Guide
This Redpaper provides an overview of the IBM Lotus Workplace Messaging system, its components, and common administration/configuration tasks. It is not intended to be a complete administrative handbook, but rather an introduction to the Workplace Messaging product from an administrators viewpoint. While this paper was written based on version 1.1, its general contents and best practices will, for the most part, be applicable to future versions of this product as well.
