Oracle just released the new version of WebCenter products stack, the WebCenter Centent 11gR1 (11.1.1.7) and WebCenter Portal 11gR1 (11.1.1.7). According to Oracle's official blog it includes many bug fixes in addition to enhancements to the WebCenter Content Application Extension Framework (AXF) supporting integrations with E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft.

Each domain has an adminServer which need to be started before we can start the managed servers and verfity the WebCenter Portal installation. This can be done by executing the startWebLogic.cmd command in following directory: <middleware home>\user_projects\domains\webcenter_domain\bin The admin server will now start. This can take a few minutes depending on your system.

In order to create a domain for Oracle Portal 11gR1, we need to run the configuration tool from Webcenter. This can be found in the commons directory of the WebCenter: [installation directory]\Middleware\Oracle_WC\common\bin Execute config.exe   From the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard chose Create a new Weblogic domain
