The Alkacon OCEE modules are often used in large professional OpenCms installations. The decision to use OCEE is usually made to meet one single requirement of the customer, such as LDAP connectivity or cluster support. Since OCEE is sold in a package, an installation could also benefit from using other features of the OCEE modules – but it may be unclear what other features are available in general. In this session explain the benefits and of the different OCEE modules and their functionalities for every OpenCms installation are explained, e.g. making full use of the OCEE Accelerator. It is also shown certain special features of the OCEE LDAP, Cluster and Replication modules that are readily available but often remain unused. Based on experience in large OCEE installations, OCEE configuration tips and tweaks are providesd that improve performance and reliability.
