Programmatically adding/deleting users to/from portal groups

Question

I am using the following PDK api, to delete an user from a portal group (otp_sales).
I get the following error which doestn make sense. I tested the following api from a
script shown below. In my application, this gets called from a trigger, and fails
because it sees a ROLLBACK getting used in the API.
<<<<<<<<<<<<< delete_from_group.sql >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
DECLARE
BEGIN
moc.wwsec_api.delete_user_from_list (p_group_id
=>MOC.wwsec_API.GROUP_ID('OTP_SALES')
,p_member_person_id =>73);
END;
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We had the same problem and it turned out that deleting a portal user(delete_portal_user), removing a portal user from a list (delete_user_from_list) or updating a portal user, the "savepoint xxxx never established message" came up when there was no context set. If the procedure is called from within a portal page (or as user portal30) ,and the context is set and it works. The solution is to check to see if the context was set, and then set it if not.
if not portal30.wwctx_api_private.is_context_set then
portal30.wwctx_api_private.set_context(p_user_name => 'portal30');
end if;
Hope this helps
