Back with a  Bang, the new release of Interwoven TeamSite 6.7.2. It brings in lots of new features and improvements. Interwoven has been rated “Strong Positive” in Gartner’s “MarketScope for Web Content Management“. And that seems to me is because of Interwoven TeamSite. One of the strongest web CMS, so far I’ve seen.

Now lets take a look at the new features of Interwoven TeamSite which makes it so strong.

Merged Installation:

In the new installation of TeamSite has got the components (SitePublisher and Targetting ) merged with it. It earlier had the ReportCenter as a merged component. Still if anyone needs to install components seperately they can do it. However, the merged installation procedure reduces the pain for the configurations that have to be done after the seperate installaiton for other components.

New Server Platforms:

The new version of TeamSite supports latest operating systems.

  • Solaris 10, Solaris 10 LDOM
    • Solaris patch cluster containing OS and kernel patches are required prior the installation
    • TeamSite required to be installed in a Solaris 10 global zone; multiple zones are not
      supported as yet.
  • Red Hat Linux ES 4.0 and 5.0 (32-bit and 64-bit) on x86 and x86-64 platforms.
  • Windows 2003 SP1 and SP2 Enterprise and Standard Editions, Windows 2003 R2,
    Windows 32-bit OS on x86 and x86-64 platforms

VMware:

TeamSite can now be run on VMware Server or VMware ESX.

New Application Servers:

The following applicaton servers are supported by TeamSite.

  • Tomcat 5.5.25 (Currently sitepublisher only supports Apache Tomcat only)
  • BEA WebLogic 10.2
  • IBM WebSphere 6.1.0 update 11

VisualFormat Editor (VFE) Integration:

VFE can now be integrated in to your custom pages

Workflow External Task commands using URLs:

An external task can now be configured to run a URL command. The URL command can be configured to run from the TS local server or a remote server. The server needs to use Java for the same. I liked this feature a lot. Coz now one can actually do a lot of stuff using this task and the possibilities are numorous.

These are some of the new TeamSite features. And there are a lot more. You can refer to the Interwoven Support website or the documentation for more details.
