118263-12 (PC12 for portal 6.3) important information

Hi all
Just a bit of an FYI. We just rolled the public release patch 118263-12 into production over the weekend.
An unexpected new bug cropped up. Basically if you have the Authentication-less desktop disabled, and your user's have http://[portalserver]/portal/dt bookmarked, the /portal/dt link will no longer kick you back to the authentication page to login, but just return a HTML 200 code, and stop (user sees a blank screen). This will impact unsuspecting users that have previously just bookmarked the main logged in portal desktop.
This issue is addressed in 118263-13, (desktop.jar is the culprit) but just wanted to give you all a heads up.

Change Directory server for Portal Server 6.2

Hi there,
I have the following problem with Portal Server 6.2 configuration which hopefully someone here will be able to help me with.
Basically our current setup is the Sun Portal Server 6.2, ID server 6.1 and Directory server all sitting on one (Solaris 9) box. We now wish to separate the Portal / ID server components and the Directory Server component to separate boxes. In portal server 6.0 i think there was a pssetup tool which allowed configuration of a directory server which populated it with the necessary data for portal and ID server. The directory server we will be installing to will not necessarily be a clean install, i.e. it may already be populated with data.
Is there some way therefore to re-configure the existing directory server to allow us to point our portal / ID server at it?
Thanks in advance for any help
Laurence.

This can be done. You need to import the portal/identity server's schema into your new directory server and then export your existing directory server's content and import it into the new one.

GRC AE User provisioning for Portal giving error

Hi,
We are having GRC AC 5.3- SP9.
While doing user provisioning for Portal, we are getting the following error: DBCacheVerifier.java@58:isExpired(). Detailed error log is attached herewith. The back end system (EP Dev) is installed with GRC RTA. Connectors are testing OK. The CPIC user id in backend system EPDev is ED1GRC and has SUPER ADMIN Authorizations, with SPML read/write actions attached to the Role. EP Dev system is having UME as data source, not LDAP. The issue was existing even before the SP9 upgrade. We have restarted the Server several times lately. Pls help me in this.
Thanks & Regards,
Jagadish H S
BASIS Team, BPCL, Mumbai.

Jagadish,
This type of error would normally be a data setup issue. Have you imported all of the initial data files (XML ones)?
Otherwise, if it is just a cache issue, then restarting the server would normally solve the proplem. I would also check the Java Netweaver Admin console to ensure that the memory settings are sufficiently configured to match the hardware that is deployed.

Failover of 9iAS Server for Portal

Hi,
We executed the steps in the article 'Accessing Portal from multiple sites'.
This is to let the 2 9iAS use the same database. However, we found that if
the primary 9iAS domain is down, the second 9iAS domain still tries to retrieve the
login page from the primary domain, which results in page not found.
Is there a solution for 9iAS failover for Portal ?

This can be done. You need to import the portal/identity server's schema into your new directory server and then export your existing directory server's content and import it into the new one.

For Portal Export Import (transport), the following are the foremost links on Metalink/ My Oracle Support.
Note 306785.1 Overview of the Portal Export-Import Process
Note 263995.1 - Master Note for OracleAS Portal Export / Import Issues
Note 333867.1 Portal Export and Import Utility Supportability Scenarios
Regarding your question, please do go through all of these notes.
- Overview will tell you how to prepare your instances/environments for portal transport. you will see how to ensure they are ready, and that some patches are needed.
- Master note will tell you which patches are needed, how to get them, what are the diagnostic tools which can help you check and clean your portal repositories, and what common errors you may get and how to fix them.
- Supportability Scenario tells you what actually you can transport and what you cannot. i.e., what is supported and what is not. Do read it for your case.
I have seen several Portal Admins who keep banging their heads with problems they create in their systems because they do not read this note and try to force a case which does not follow a supportable scenario.
hope that helps!

Partial match for Value Mapping in Import Manager

Hello Experts,
We have a import map which is used to do mass insert of data into the main table. This is done as & when required by the end user.
We have a qualified lookup field which has a flat lookup filed as the Non-Qualifier. This flat lookup field is refering to a Lookup Flat table, which has mulitple dispay fields like Code,Name, Status etc. (14 fields in total) where as only the Code is the unique field.
We have only the unique field in our source file which we use for the import. Since we have only a part of the display fields in the source, the automap functionality in the Value maping section doesn't work. It becomes very tedious for the user to manually map all the values for this field.
Is there any way by which we can convert the source or target values in the import map, so that we can map the values using the Automap feature?
Your help & suggestion for alternate approach is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Uday
P.S. We are using SAP MDM 5.5 SP6.

Hi Uday,
No need to enable remote key mapping for QLT. Please execute the below steps(stated with an example) -
1. Among all the fields in the referenced lookup table, identify the lookup fields and the tables they are looking up .
For eg.If you have a lookup field as 'Country' as one of the fields, look up table will be 'Countries'
2.For the identified lookup tables, set 'key mapping =Yes' in Console.
For eg, For Country Lookup table ,set Key mapping to 'Yes'
3.Import values into Lookup table (Import manager)/ Remote key update -
In import manager, select source (local file) and destination as Countries flat table.This Table will be haing 2fields - Code and description.Clone the 'Code'field and map it to Remote key field in destination hierarchy.Map code and description to equivalent destination fields. Select 'Code' as matching field > Perform import into lookup table.
Check if the records in countries table are updated with remote keys(in Data manager> right click on a record> select 'Edit key mappings' > view key mapping for the record)
3.Import to Qualified table/Auto value mapping -
Now, in the import map for qualified import , map the source field and destination field (of lookup type), all the values of this field will automatically map.
Similarly, refresh remote keys mappings for all the lookup tables first and then you can see auto mappings of values happening for the lookup fields.

Help, need to change IP address on host database for Portal

Hi folks,
Rather urgent assistance (as usual) needed. I have an installation working correctly on a pair of Win2k machines, one as the 9i database, one as the 9iAS/Portal. The app server has 2 NIC cards, one with public IP address (which is ok), one on the LAN. I need to reconfigure the LAN addresses on both the machines. Initial Portal install done without DNS, i.e. actual server/host addresses entered in the configuration.
I have tried changing all of the TNS/Listner settings and the NIC card IP addresses and restarting the machines. The likes of SQLPlus work ok, with the TNS connect name allowing over the LAN access into the database with the new LAN addresses. I cannot seem to get the 9iAS/Portal to find the repository with the new addresses.
Can someone help please? I can't find the answer in any documentation or other postings.
Thanks in advance
Rob

There are other modes of operation for the plasst as well. I am listing them below but the formatting will make it difficult to read. If you like I can email it to you.

Configuring Portal when the HTTP server host name of the Infrastructure is changed
Run the following from the $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/opca dir
ptlasst.bat -mode SSOPARTNERCONFIG -i typical -sdad portal -host myApache.domain.com -port 7777 -silent -verbose
NOTE:
(1) This command would create a new Portal partner application in the SSO to reflect the changes of the Infrastructure. Before running this command please ensure to configure the SSO with the correct hostname by running the ssocfg.bat script located in the Infrastructure install (<infra_home>\sso\bin).
The value for -host parameter will be the IP address of the infrastructure server and -port will be the port where the infrastructure http server is running on.
Configuring Portal when the HTTP server host name of the Middle tier is changed
ptlasst.bat -mode MIDTIER -i typical -host myApache.domain.com -port 7777 -ldap_h myOID.domain.com -ldap_p 389 -ldap_w welcome -pwd secret123 -portal_only -oh /home/oracle -chost myHostname.domain.com -cport_i 8001 -cport_a 8000 -wc_i_pwd invalidator -mc false -mi true -silent -verbose
NOTE :
(1) The -host value should match the serverName value of the httpd.conf
(2) The -chost should be updated with the correct webcache hostname. In a default iAS midtier install the -host is same as the -chost.
The value for -host parameter will be the IP address of the midtier(portal) server and -port will be the port where the portal is running on.

What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?

Hi all,
1.What are the pros and cons of installing java+abap stack for portal?
2.what effect it does on the ume options to be choosen??
3.for the purpose of integration of r3,bw and crm on portal and crm 4.0 60.2.3 business package which option of stack(java or abap or both)will be good option and which ume option while installation should be choosen?
regards
Rajendra

Hi Rajendra,
The NetWeaver Installation Master Guide offers some good scenarios on the pros and cons:
https://websmp201.sapag.de/~sapidb/011000358700005412792005E.pdf
In a nutshell:
ABAP+JAVA
Pros
- Decrease # of servers required to administer the portal
- Less costly
Cons
- Upgrades could be dependent on ABAP and Java release level
- Additional load on the server due to ABAP stack
- Limited scalability
JAVA and ABAP on separate server
Pros
- Improved performance
- Allows each system to be single-use purpose therefore downtime does not affect other components
- More scalable
Cons
- Adds complexity to landscape
- Additional costs

How to scan my computer and external hard drives for pictures with out importing duplicates.

how do i scan my computer and external hard drives for pictures with out importing duplicates.

iPhoto doesn't scan anywhere. It imports files offered to it. If it spots a duplicate it will warn you.

Abap+java stack for Portal 7.0 and MI - User Data Source

The SAP pre-requisites for Portal and MI (Mobile Infrastructure) 7.0 is an ABAP and Java Stack. If you install an AS ABAP + Java, the UME is automatically set up to use the ABAP user management of the same AS installation. What does this mean? The user store will be created in ABAP, for both the Portal and MI.
The impact of this is portal users management is in ABAP. This configuration by design cannot be connected to LDAP Active directory for user authentication.
Please let me know , if some body had already face similar issue and come up with the solution. Thanks in advance.

Hi Surya ,
When you install portal or any NW component with ABAP stack , ABAP stack hold precidence over the JAVA Stack , refer to this link to have more idea on this .

Class not found Exception for Portal 4.0 console

Hi Ravi,
For Portal questions, we have a newsgroup called
weblogic.developer.interest.personalization that would be able to help you
more on this subject.
In the meantime, it sounds as if the installation of WLS 6.1sp1 wasn't done
properly. I would recommend reinstalling from scratch. Between the
installation of WLS 6.1sp1 and WLP 4.0, you can try running WLS 6.1 in the
mydomain domain, and see if you can access the console. If you can, then
you can continue with the WLP 4.0 installation.
