Creating and Debugging a Basic Script for Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture

By: Karla Broadrick | Senior Developer

Many customers using Oracle Doucment Capture 10g have customized their capture and index profiles using custom scripts written in VB.  Since the release of Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture, these scripts are no longer compatible with the latest version of the software.  WEC 11g now has a brand new API for customizations and scripts are written in JavaScript.  For customers looking to upgrade, this means evaluating their scripts, deciding which are still needed and how they should be revamped using the 11g APIs.

Unfortunately, since WEC 11g is still relatively new, there is not a lot of help out there beyond Oracle’s documentation and a few sample scripts in Oracle Knowledge Base.  The PDF below will walk you through how to create a simple script using the new APIs and using the Java console to debug it.
