About Oracle portal Omniportlet XSL relative URL.

Hi,
I use Oracle Portal 10.1.4 (on OAS 10.1.2.0.2) and we have 2 server.
The first is on LAN for testing portals and the second is a pre-production server to give public access to our portals to our clients for final testing purpose.
So the two servers have different hostnames. The first is http://dev-oraportal.ccip.fr (called DEV) and the second is http://rec-oraportal.ccip.fr (called REC)
We create portals page groups on the DEV and then export them on REC for client testing.
Omniportlet is inserted on some of our portal pages to display RSS feeds. So we collect RSS using an absolute URL to the RSS .xml file and we also use an XSLT file to transform the RSS RDF schema to <ROWSET>/<ROW> format understood by Omniportlet.
My problem is that Omniportlet only accept absolute URLs for my XSLT file. I created a protal page within my page group to store this XSLT file and so I'd like to use a relative path in order to keep links valid when I'll export my page group to the REC server.
Today, I have to change the XSLT file URL manualy when the migration is over to replace "dev" by "rec" in the server hostname.
Is there any way to use relative paths for XSLT file in Omniportlet ?
I tryed several ways from using many "../" in path to map to the right XSLT path to using portlet parameters in the XSLT URL field as #Param1#/myPageGroup/XSLTFiles.xslt
But nothing works.
Note that I successfully used parameters in the Omniportlet View tab, but I can't make it work in the source tab.
Thanks,
Nicolas.

thanx for the answer... I visited http://portalstudio.oracle.com long time ago but i need more specific information about this. I have everyone manuals and tutorials available in www.oracle.com.... I know some web pages that use oracle portal (www.tomatoland.com, testdrive.compaq.com) and i think that are very complete....

[Urgent] Some questions about Oracle Portal 10g - 11g upgrade

Dear friends,
We are under doing upgrading assessment of Oracle Portal from 10g to 11g. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?
2. Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?
3. How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?
4. Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?
Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?Instant Portal is not available anymore in Oracle Portal 11g. The Instant Portal page groups will be migrated to standard Portal page groups. Maintenance of the Instant Portal can be done with the standard Portal tools. The Instant Portal tools are not available anymore.
Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?Old 10g Page Groups are migrated to Portal 11g. They will still be available after the upgrade.
Export/Import through transports sets has always been limited to instances of the same version. It is not supported between versions as documented in the Administration Guide :
[11.2.1|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/portal.1111/e10239/cg_imex.htm#CCJBCCGD] System Requirements
Before exporting and importing content, ensure that your system meets the minimum system requirements, as described in this section.
Notes:
* Export and import functions only within the same release of Oracle Portal and the same patch release, for example, release 10.1.4 to release 10.1.4 or release 11.1.1 to release 11.1.1. You cannot export and import between two different releases, such as release 10.1.2 to release 10.1.4 or release 10.1.4 to release 11.1.1.
How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?Customized objects get migrated as well. Certain types (e.g. PL/SQL item types) need to be checked after upgrade as the behavior of the PL/SQL code may differ between database versions. This is particularly of concern when the 10.1.4.x Portal uses a 10.1 database. A database upgrade to either 10.2, 11.1 or 11.2 is necessary as Portal 11g is not supported with RDBMS 10.1.
Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?Never done this, but the Portal framework is able to consume JPDK providers which are running in older versions of the toolkit. If the providers are running in standalone OC4J containers, you would be able to upgrade the framework and keep the providers in their OC4J containers. This will allow you to focus on the framework first and worry about your providers later.
Thanks,
EJ

What do you NOT like about Oracle Portal?

Using a theme from a post on AskTom, I thought I would start one that details what customers don't like about Portal.
I've got a few:
PPE
When load balancing, it forces us to use NAT in the load balancer. Extra configuration, extra time, etc.
Java or MOD_PLSQL?
Mod_plsql has been around for a long time. It is robust and stable but a simple Dad for Portal is a mix of Java and Mod_plsql. It is not nearly as clean and stable as a mod_plsql application.
SSO
SSO should be part of the middle tier, not the Infrastructure. It just adds another hop and another thing to manage.
PTLConfig
ssoreg is for SSO registration of Partner applications. Easy enough. But wait, it doesn't work for Portal. You have to run ptlconfig for it.
SSL configuration
Wow, what a pain. A Java application or Mod_plsql application is easy to configure for SSL. Not true with Portal.
OC4J Portal In Process
Showing the status with opmnctl won't show in-process things like Portal. It can only be seen in OEM.
Explicit Path
In the HTML Portal generates, it has the full path to everything. I tried just changing the hostname in the httpd.conf file but that doesn't work either. We used setup.exe OUI_HOSTNAME= to change the host name of an install which works ok. When using multiple middle tiers, you have to use the real host name for each server and then use a VirtualHost all because Portal uses the full path instead of a relative path.
Migration of code
Portal doesn't really support the idea of multiple environments which every large company (which is a big part of Oracle's customer base) uses. Migrating a page group with all content from Test to QA isn't something built in like it should be.
I've got some more complaints about Forms, Reports, Discoverer, and SSO but this is just about opportunities for Portal.

heh. why so negative?
what about a thread about what you LIKE about Portal :-)

Oracle Portal - Omniportlet and datadirect drivers

I need to create an omniportlet to connect to each of a SQL Server database and a Sybase database. I tryied downloading the datadirect drivers, but they wont load into portal.
I have followed the directions found here, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/omniportlet_how_to_use_datadirect_jdbc_drivers.html#install. this was also the page that has the links to download the datadirect drivers.
how are the drivers installed and used?

I found the solution through one of the documents on the Datadirect website
http://www.datadirect.com/download/docs/jdbc/jdbcref/jdbcref.zip.
You have to call the procedure without specifying a placeholder for the Ref Cursor and then get the results using getResultSet() method of the CallableStatement. The driver automatically converts the Ref Cursor to a Resultset.

ORACLEAS Portal Activity Reports - Generating Portal activity reporsts

Hi i am a very new to oracle i suppose to generate report for audit trails and others like the top 10 URL by hour by day and by month
What is the guidelines that i am suppose to do , it seem like there are many ways of generating reports some how is not what i really wants.
I saw one at
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/B10464_02/portal.904/b13675/cg_monit.htm it leads me to read README.html at the oraclehome to load oracle portal log files into d/b
is this the correct way i am doing??
is there anymore guide i can get from? does anybody has done the same report?
THANK YOU

Ok so you mean that you want this:
1. Collect statistics from Oracle Portal - portlet performance, top URL's etc
2. Using these statistics, generate reports
If this is true, then for step 1, you will have to contact Oracle Portal team. You can post your Q here (Portal General Forum):
Oracle Application Server Portal
or here (Portal - Performance and Scalability Forum):

OracleAS Portal 10g: Build Corporate Portals - Worth Taking this Course?

Hello,
I am currently building the company Intranet using the Oracle Instant Portal and I am new to Oracle and Portal concept. Would it be beneficial to take the following course? Has anyone taken this course before? What is your feedback for learning more about Oracle Portal / Oracle Instant Portal?
OracleAS Portal 10g: Build Corporate Portals
http://education.oracle.com/web_prod-plq-dad/plsql/show_desc.redirect?dc=D16648GC10&p_org_id=1001&lang=US&source_call=
Thanks!

This is a worthwhile course, but not for learning about Oracle Instant Portal (which was released after the Build Corporate Portals course was written). The best place to start finding out about Oracle Instant Portal is the self-paced Oracle By Example (OBE) tutorial, Building Instant Portals with Oracle Instant Portal. The tutorial also has links to a couple of viewlets, which you should find helpful.
Cheers!

Will Oracle Portal 11g ever be released ?

Hi all,
We are just to choose Portal product from Oracle. earlier this year I read SOD about Oracle Portal 11g.
But with the WebLogic stack now, I read that OAS will never be 11g, what about Oracle Portal ? is it the same fate ?
Will it be any Oracle Portal 11g ?
What is Oracle direction for Portal ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

Oracle Portal is on a Continue & Converge track product which means that for the next 9 years (starting from this last summer) these will be supported, the new versions will be released, and the new features, patches and updates will be provided.
this means there will be another version of Portal (and not a PatchSet) releasing soon.
however, the strategic product for Enterprise 2.0 and Portals which goes beyond 9 years of support and advancement, is Oracle WebCenter which is already available.
please listen to the podcasts or several statements of directions showing Oracle Product Strategy here.
This idea was also emphasized repeatedly in my several private conversations with Oracle Support and Product Management staff.

Oracle Portal, OWA_UTIL.redirect_url and Max Length URL

I have a question relating to the max length of a URL that can be used within Internet Explorer 5.5 and Oracle Portal (3.0.9.8.5) On IAS 9i version 1.0.2.2.2
My portal page submits to a procedure that carries out some basic DML and then uses the OWA_UTIL.redirect_url api to go to a different page.
When I am in the DML procedure, I build up several string "name/pair" values that concatenate onto my redirect url.
i.e.
str1 := 'p_test=1&p_test=2&p_test=3&p_test=4';
str2 := '&p_loc=USA&p_loc=GB&p_loc=NZ';
url := 'http://my_procedure?' || str1 || str2;
OWA_UTIL.redirect_url (url);
The problem I am having is that in some cases the length of the URL that i produce exceeds the max length permitted by Microsoft I.E 5.5 (2048 characters) and hence my redirect fails.
I understand that if i were to submit the name/pair values through the header then I could have as many as necessary and have read somewhere that it is possible while using the OWA_UTIL.redirect_url api to write values into the header and then close it.
If this is possible could someone please explain how giving an example. If not is there a workaround to this problem?
Regards
Duncan

I believe that this API actually writes a redirect request into
the header of the HTTP request. For this redirect to work, the
body of the HTTP request needs to be empty (i.e. you can't have
any HTML being sent in the request).
The OWA_UTIL packages actually provide some leeway here because
it usually reorganizes requests. That gives you some
flexibility with what you can include, but I believe that you're
running into a limitation imposed by the HTTP specifications.

Identity Management and SSO are not installed, why they are used for?IDM and SSO is used for user authentication.
You can search for details about that.

While connecting to the base with the help of Visard I open Oracle Forms Builder by and create a primitive form. Everything is good. All are shown. I press Run Form which is written as Oracle Forms in browser and suggests keeping a clear file. Particularly in applied file!
Print screen of my monitor yo can see: http://www.sql.ru/forum/actualthread.aspx?tid=678852
Thanks for attention.the port which you have mentioned is it WLS_FORMS_PORT or any other.
Try running default Forms port WLS_FORMS_PORT that will be 9001
or check for the WLS_FORMS_PORT in the portlist.ini file.
Also are you getting any exception in the Java console.?

URL Re-Direct With Oracle Portal.

Hello,
We have some old portal based applications that we want to re-direct to the newer version and we have tried doing a redirect in the httpd.conf file and restarted the http server but its not working.
We have
http://hts03:7778/portal/page/portal/TestMichael/StaffList and I want to re-direct it to: http://hts03:7778/portal/page/portal/PG_SITELINK_V2/P_SITELINK_HOME
So in our httpd.conf file we have:
redirect /portal/page/portal/TestMichael/StaffList http://hts03:7778/portal/page/portal/PG_SITELINK_V2/P_SITELINK_HOMESo we are wondering what we have done wrong and can we use redirects with Oracle Portal?
Cheers,
Paul.

Why don't you use a rewrite rule ?
RewriteRule ^/portal/page/portal/TestMichael/StaffList /portal/page/portal/PG_SITELINK_V2/P_SITELINK_HOME
And don't forget to run dcmctl updateconfig -ct ohs after updating the httpd.conf manually. If you edit if through Enterprise Manager, it is done for you automatically.
Thanks,

Oracle Portal Virtual Host Enhacement for Multiple Virtual Hosts

I open the TAR Number: 4326752.996
The TAR is related to " REQUEST ASSISTANCE FOR MULTIPLE VIRTUAL HOSTS AND MULTIPLE PAGE GROUPS CONFIG. "
This is the Scenario: We Have Oracle Portal installed in a single Box. yes I know I know... but Not everybody is Yahoo or Google for Clusters and all the good stuff, we just want our website managed by Oracle Portal since all our ERP is running Oracle Database. Anyway. 1 Box running Oracle Portal Infrastructure and MidTier.
It turns out that our previous configuration we have the LAMP Solution with PHP, Apache with Virtual Servers configuration very trivial for a regular web server however we have about 6 Virtual domains.
For example:
www.abc.com
www.def.com
www.ghi.com
www.jkl.com
www.mno.com
www.pqr.com
We also like to post all our Intranet Information in this great Portal:
http://intranet.com
Where intranet.com is the same server but setup in our Internal DNS without be a Real Internet Register Domain.
So bottom line we start doing great with Install our single box install, later [GRRRRRR does not come by default in port 80 GRRRRRR, ok need to move and setup the virtual host to resolve our main External website www.abc.com ]
For starters ok it worked we have our main website running Oracle Portal.
Now is time to go to the step number 2.
Setup another Page Group in Portal to be the Page_Group_INTERNAL.
I figure if Apache can setup Virtual Hosts pointing to Independent parts of the File System without be shared. I was expecting some kind of custom configuration where I can setup httpd.conf to point to some specific PageGroups to make sure
www.abc.com => Page_Group_External
never share information with:
intranet.com => Page_Gorup_Internal
My TAR was very quick closed with the Argument that is not what It supposed to do.
Since a virtual host is a common thing to do on Linux and Apache, I wonder if You guys could list this as one of the default features to have multiple virtual domains assosiated with Page Groups that they never talk or share Resources I think that would be really great.
In the mean time I guess we have no option but to put a password for every internal page or take the risk of share our Information to the Internet. Perhaps designate another box with Oracle Portal but In that case Is not really cost/bennefit to use a killer technology for our external site since we just have no more than 30 pages.
Anyway just figure drop you guys a note any advise will be really appreciated.
Best Regards Dino.

Hi Martin,
1. To change the target URL of KM resources you can to the following:
Access the URL Generation Service Configuration by navigating to:
System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Configuration
Content Management -> Global Services -> URL Generator Service
Change the Host property to "portal.company.com".
2. You change the Port by opening the Visual Administrator and going to : Dispatcher -> Services -> HTTP Provider
Change there the "Ports" entry from (Port:50000,Type:http)to (Port:80,Type:http). Then go on "Save".
3. To remove the "/irj" from the portal URL you can create a index.jsp with the following content, and save it in the J2EE Documentation folder:
<Drive>:\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\JC<J2EE_instance_number>\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.engine.docs.examples\servlet_jsp\_default\root
<%
//Send the redirect using server redirection (not client script)
//This will also send the HTTP GET parameters
String queryString = request.getQueryString() ;
if (queryString==null ) {
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default") ;
} else {//redirect with HTTP GET parameters
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default?" + queryString) ;
%>
Hope this helps,
Robert
