Extending 'People' Information in Portal

We need to add additional columns to the information found in the 'persons (wwv_persons)' table in the portal. What is the best way to do this (add an additional table and link the two)? We are trying to capture/write portlets to maintain user information. The client is also planning on using LDAP in the future, should we use this instead to hold all user info? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.

The way I did this for a client was to build a custom registration portlet that inserts into the PERSON$ table and a custom table at the same time. The unique link could be the portal user name or id - they're both unique. However, as the user id differs between the PORTAL30 and PORTAL30SSO schemas it is best to use the name.
Others may differ! Of course the default amend user and account portlets will not see the new info, so you need to create new portlets for this too.
You could of course not bother using the PERSON$ tables for profile info and just use a custom schema (still using the portal username as the virtual key)
Hope this helps!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
John, do you do portal development for customers? If so, would you mind e-mailing me your contact info at [email protected]?
We are looking for an experienced Portal developer to do some work for us.
Many thanks,

Importing NT User information into Portal

We are using Portal in an NT environment, and we have been able to get through the necessary single sign on issues.
Now, we need to pull our NT user information into Portal's user database, including all the groupings we already have set up so that we can take advantage of Portal's exceptional security features. This is key to our ability to use the product, and to our demo in a week.
The fact is we have 5,000 users to enter, and it is prohibitive for us to do that through the standard Portal APIs. We already have the users' input once in NT, we can get a flat file with all the information we need, we just need a way to get this information
into the appropriate tables within Portal's database.
Is there a script or some more "automated" way you can suggest for us to do this?

Maybe you could try to use an intermediate LDAP export file (ldif), since Active Directory is LDAP-based and you can plug a LDAP to your Portal SSO Login Server.
I only have tried exporting and importing using .ldif files up to now.
I also have heard about techniques to use NT user account info to log on to Portal ; 'could be easier.

Run the cleaner tool and reinstall from scratch, making sure you have proper file permissions and user privileges and turning off potential disturbances liek virus scanners etc..

Where can I find the GPS coordinates in iPhoto 11 for geotagged pics? In iPhoto 09 this information was available under the Photos menu "Show Extended Photo Information".

I think you can only see the map. To see the actual EXIF data you would need to export and use a viewer.

Flex Student Information Management Portal help

I am building a student information management portal in flex /php (using AMFPHP), but being a Flex Newbie, I have been researching endless on the internet for help to kick start my project. My project will be interfacing with an oracle database system (which is not an issue, I have already built connection classes in php in my past projects). My problem is binding the data. It appears in my opinion that the data grid is the only way to output the data which will not work efficiently in my case. I need a fluid and flexible layout to present the data within the page. Can the query results be binded say in labels etc and if so, how can this be achieved. Any pointers to tutorial sites for beginners will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Google "Flex in a week".
Yes, you can bind labels, but given that you are asking the question, you really have a way to go in knowing how to build a portal.

Extended photo information

I am using a new camera. A Canon Powershot SX20 IS. I am using the iphoto application to bring photos from the camera to my computer. ( Not the Canon software)
After I have imported a photo, when I go to Extended Photo information, I get very limited information. For example I do not get ISO readings.
I was watching a presentation by another person today on Iphoto. She got much more information from the Extended Photo Information drop down menu? the information is useful in improving your photo shooting. It just wasn't there on my computer. It was there in my camera, but I erased the images after uploading them. Is there a way to access this information in iphoto? Or, do I have to use the Canon application to upload the information?
I usually transfer photos from Iphoto to Photo shop for editing.
Thank you.

with no information it is hard to say
just to be sure that you have done it correctly since you do not tell what you have done - select a photo and under the photos menu ==>show extended photo info - make sure that the sections you want are open - there is a VERY light open close triangle just to the left of the section name

Extend the SSO Oracle Portal Authentication Mechanism

Hi All,
I need to put some logic just before the Oracle Portal user is authenticated to SSO.
Specifically I need to collect some information about the user from a database just before the SSOLoginServlet is called with all the parameters it needs. (username, password, sitetoken etc...)
Is there a class i can extend, an API I can use.... whatever
In fact I need to extend and put some more logic to the login mechanism of SSO.
Is there a way to do that?
If there are many what is the best method?
Thanks

I'm not an expert, but I think this might be fairly easy to implement. If you look at Chapter 12 of the SSO Admin Guide (http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28196_01/idmanage.1014/b15988/custom.htm), it tells you what parameters and what url to call for the login process to complete. Therefore, you should be able to submit your custom login page to another servlet for your pre-processing, and then forward on to the sso logon servlet.

Extended notifications and the portal

Hi All,
I'm using extended notification ( SWNADMIN ) to send the workitems in SRM/ECC to MS outlook . The background jobs SWNSEL etc are run in the respective systems . Emails produced have links to logon to the respective systems and display/execute the workitem but I want the users to login via the portal . Is that possible ?
Regards

hi,
then i would suggest, before the link opens the corresponding appl, pop up for the userid , create specific portal roles lik manager,hradmin etc, so that the workitems are executed.
But one thing i would like to mention is : extended notification is mainly useful for those who do not access portal often.
hope this helps.

Dual Monitor (Extended Desktop) Information Requested

Hello,
I am gathering information regarding the addition of an additional monitor to serve as an extended desktop for my iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo (purchased in early 2006).
Questions:
1) Is it possible for this 2 1/2 year iMac to have an additional monitor?
2) My iMac has a Mini-DVI port on the back. While looking at other monitors, I have been seeing 15 pin High-Density D-shell (VGA), Video - 24 pin DVI-D, and Video - HDMI interface inputs
3) Which one of those interface types is recommended?
4) Does Apple require a proprietary cable to connect with the above mentioned monitor?
Thank you for any information!
Tony
3)

Yes it is possible to have an additional monitor. I would compare the 20" iMac display to DVI quality although I believe HDMI is the highest quality (probably comparable to the 24" iMac displays). You will need a mini-DVI adapter to connect any display (see link below). I would recommend a DVI connection using a monitor the same size as your iMac that can handle the same resolution as your iMac display. If unsure what this resolution is go to system preferences>displays.

You can also read some of the reviews from this mini-DVI adapter as most of them are trying to do what you are doing. You will also need a standard DVI cable (sometimes included with monitor) to connect to the new monitor to this adapter. There is also a mini-DVI to VGA adapter - although I wouldn't recommend this connection because it will be lower quality than your regular display. And a cable that connects DVI to HDMI if you decide to go that route.

Portlet Information from Portal

Hello,
I'm developing a non-SAP portlet that will be consumed by the portal and was wondering what information, if any, the portlet will have access to from SAP. Basically I am wanting to know if I will be able to get any information about the user that logged into the portal.
Thanks,
Brandon

Simon,
I've been looking into how to extract the user id from the SSO Ticket. I found where I need the SAPSSOEXT stuff, but this seems to be just a patch to the SAP system. My application will be on an external java server and thus will not have access to the libraries that this patch contains. Do you know of a way for me to get the necessary libraries, such as in a .jar, so that they can be accessed on the external server? Or can the SSO Ticket only be accessed by an application on the same server?
Thank you for your assistance.
Brandon

How can I extend language support in Portal

Hi everybody,
We need extend Vietnamese language suport for Oracle Portal.
In others portal (open source ), i can do it by config an properties like : locale.., and provider the resources for our language .
In Oracle Portal, i don't hearing anything related that
Can you suggest for me ?
Thanks for helping.
Sorry about my English

There is no such feature in Oracle Portal. If this is important for you, you should log an enhancement request vi Oracle Support.

Extended Finder Information

I have a large number of video files stored and I'd like to be able to view (and sort) a list of them in Finder, or similar, showing not just date & size etc but also some of the extended info, particularly video dimensions e.g. 1280x720 and audio channels e.g. 2.
I can see this information on an individual file basis from the Get Info pane, but with over 1,500 files that isn't practical and doesn't allow me to sort.
Is this possible in Finder, or is there a separate tool / package I could use?
Thanks in anticipation.

Not doable with Finder. As for other apps, you might inquire at the AppleScript forum under OS X Technologies.

Extending user information entries?

Hi there!
Is it possible to extend the user information (such as E-Mail address or Telephone) with "arbitrary" data (e.g. Age / Date of Birth)?
The entries "Position" and "Department" of "Additional Information" make it seem possible to me, I haven't found anything so far, though...
Thanks in advance!
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
yes it is.

These additional attributes are stored in the database.
If you only want to display addtional iViews that are stored in your corporate ldap, the configuration would be different.
