Access to Portals Development sandbox

Hi,
Are there any companies that provide access to portals development environment for practicing examples?
I prefer to have administrative privileges and also the ability to develop web dynpro for Java applications.
Thank you.
Rama

Hi Sunil,
Thank you for your response.
I only have a laptop and I do not have access to any servers.
I want to learn portals development by actually practicing the examples.
What options do I have to get access to the portals environment? Can I still install on my own?
Thanks again.

ACCESS with PORTAL

Hi All,
Can we integrate an ACCESS application with Oracle Portal? If so, can any one guide me through the process?
Thanks
Raj

From web.xml ..
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>AppManagerServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/appmanager/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

What do you mean "any thing" also ?
How do we manage the appmanager URL mapping in web.xml ?
Please explain in bit detail

you can use either one in production. .portal files are not just fordevelopment
the only difference is your end users or admins cant customize them
as far as the long urls, are you worries aboutwebappname/appmanager/portalpath/desktopath
being too long?
Some things that might help
-you can make your webapp name anything you like
-appmanager can be anything also just change your web.xml
-portal path can be anything also,
-desktop path you can get rid of by specifying a URI for the portal thatjust
forwards you to
a default desktop.

Hi all,
As of docs, I came to know that the portal can be access by .portal file
during the development.
And using appmanager in producation . Is my understanding right?
If so, what is the recommended way to manage the long urls?
I mean to ask how efficiently we can use the PathTrim directive of apache
to
achive this.
Or is there a better way.

Oracle Portal Development from different geographic locations

Hello,
Have anyone done the development with Oracle Portal from different geographic locations, our customer want to know is there a way we can develop Oracle portal application from different geographic locations and merge it one place.
One reason is because the portal is in the database. If you have two separate groups work to build a single portal, it reason that each team would have their own installation. When these two groups are done (or periodically), the development efforts must be merged into the final complete portal. Is this possible using Oracle Portal (merging portal installations)?
Second reason is that typically other systems owned by the customer are exposed or accessed by portlets. Access to these portlets would probably be required for development. If nothing else then for unit testing.
How do you typically see off-shoring done with Oracle Portal, if at all? Or am I incorrect in my thinkings. How does the Portal meta-data stores the portal configurations is it possible to merge different portal schema into one and make it the main portal environment.
Please let me know if anyone successfully done this. Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kathir

How to restrict access to portal based on entitlements.

Hi,
I am working on weblogic 8.1 portal project. i want to restrict the user to access
the portal based on the entitlements. However when user try to login he is seeing
Weblogic Error 403 forbidden page. How to display custom error page, instead of
weblogic default error page.
How to programatically check whether user has access to portal or not based on
entitlements.
Please give me code.

Chada,
The 403 is by design. If you want to place a page in front of one or more
portal desktops and only show links to desktops the current user is entitled
to, review the attachment.

Can't access to Portal Admin Console.

Hi all,
I'm working with WLP 10.2. I've created the ear-file (using maven) and deployed it on server (with Unix-system). The current application works well.
My current task is a creation portal in streaming mode. Unfortunately I can't access to Portal Admin console for resolving task. I always retrieve "Error 404 (Not found)".
As I know the admin-tools.war is responsible for Portal Admin Console. I've checked admin-tools.war is running on server (with status "Active").
I'm using the next path for running Portal Admin Console: {serverhost:port}/{context root of admin-tools}/portal.portal.
Maybe, Should I set up(correct) application.xml or weblogic.xml?
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks,
Yuriy

I think your URL is wrong, try with the following...
http://{server:port}/{name_your_ear}Admin/portal.portal
name_your_ear= The name of your Enterprise Application.
For example,
http://localhost:7001/DemosEarAdmin/portal.portal
I hope this helps

Internet Access to Portal located in DMZ

I've seen questions on the forum regarding gaing Internet access to the Oracle Portal located in the DMZ. This answer does not resolve the issue of having multple DADs to access your portal like abc.com and xyz.com. For that see note:162044.1 on metalink. http://metalink.oracle.com.
If you registered a domain name e.g. abc.com and have the portal up and running in the DMZ. Your local network should be accessing the portal just fine. Your computer name for example is portal. The URL translates into http://portal.abc.com. You opened the ports in the DMZ to allow access and wonder why you get partial portal pages, no login, etc. It's becase users can't resolve the DNS entry for portal.abc.com. Call your ISP and get an "A Record" entry. After a few hours and propogation of the A Record, users on the Internet can successfuly access your site. This A Record should be free.
Good luck
Kellan

Hi,
You've to open the ITS for internet for accessing things from Portal too. As I've told you in previous post, the request goes directly to ITS server (http://itsserver.com/scripts..) and not as (http://myportal.com/scripts..). The idea of having it via Portal will be to mask the URL of ITS , which will not be visible (except for time you click on iview which will display in status bar). In any case, you can directly acces ITS as what you've told, however you give the proxy.

Accessing multiple portals at the same time?

Is it possible to access multiple portals at the same time?
For example, what I want to achieve is different properties (layout,
portlets, look & feel) for different groups of users accessing the same
portal. The Associated Groups part on the Portal admin page is not
fulfilling our requirements. So we decided to have different portals for
different groups of users, all working through one portal, and accessing
their custom portals. Is this achievable?
What we are thinking is: put the common functionality in the repository
portal directory, and the custom portlets/jsps in the group-specific portal
directories. This way we can customize portal behavior for different groups
of users. Is this achievable?
Thanks.

But I check in the Windows registry, I find that NLS_LANG is FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252 under under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOME1 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOME2. Then I correct in FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P15 in the Windows registry.
Also I check in EM web_site in
To check the DAD settings, in my EM Console, I go to Http Server/PLSQL Properties/DAD status. I correct NLS Language with FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P15.
Also I correct langinst.cmd under OH/portal/admin/plsql to replace WE8MSWIN1252 with WE8ISO8859P15

All that I do is not useful for access the portal home page, thers is always the error java.io.IOException: Unsupported character encoding: "ISO-8859-15"
I dont have problem in language English. My page portal is running well in a another machine where I install Oracle9iAS in English, but I have always problem in the machine where I install Oracle9iAS in French.
I find there are lots of this problem in this forum, but there isnt a answer. So thanks for anyone to resolve this problem.

Hello Michael,
Thanks for your help !
I think that the problem is in the PlsqlNLSLanguage. But I couldnt check it now with the version French WE8ISO8859P15, because today Ive installed oracle902 AS with WE8MSWIN1252 and it functions well. I find the PlsqlNLSLanguage in my $ORACLE_HOME_INFRA/Apache/mod_plsql/conf/dads.conf is FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252
, and in my $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/mod_plsql/conf/dads.conf is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252. But I dont understand why it doesnt create the languages problem.
I will try again in another machine with WE8ISO8859P15.

Not able to access the portal on the network - (RedHat Enterprise Linux 5).

Friends,
I have installed the portal(7.1) on a linux(RHEL 5) box.I am able to access the portal locally and everything looks fine.
However when I try accessing the portal on the network...I get "page cannot be displayed" as if the server is not listning on 8080.
when I do "GET http://rexportal.davita.corp:8080" I get ........
500 Can't connect to rexportal.davita.corp:8080 (connect: No route to host)
what does this mean?
other info:
1) I have disbaled the firewall by setting SELinux to disabled.
2)I am able to traceroute to the m/c
3) can ftp and SSH
4) When I do "GET http://rexportal.davita.corp" I see a apache server page.It means apache server is accessible at port 80 on the network.
Can you plz help me resolve this issue.what can prevent my server not being accesible across the network
Thanks!!
Deepak.

I was able to resolve this.! basically It was a firewall issue.
To help othere here is what I found.
I had disabled the SELinux utility which should have basically disabled the firewall service but It didnt stop it.
You can check If the firewall is running with following command on redhat linux.
service iptables status
If it is enabled ,you can either stop it by
/etc/init.d/iptables stop (not recommended -- for security)
or
you can add a entry for the port you want to enable by modifying the file
/etc/sysconfig/iptables
Hope it might be helpful !
Thanks,
Deepak.

Use ip address to access the portal

If there any way to access a portal through ip address instead of fully qualified domain name. I need to access the portal in my office through an external ip address in a router. The port forewarding force an ip address even I define a hostname for my router.

Hi Wing ,
yes you can , but some pieces of the portal depend on full hostname resolution ( for domain security) . So Single Sign On to backends will not work properly (if at all) plus Javascript will act funnily in your browser (depending on the settings ).
Also you need to make sure any content in an Iview that is displayed in an Iframe is domain-name resolvable to your browser (e.g. other non-portal hosts ) .
Much better to go through a Reverse Proxy in the DMZ ..see various posts in the Implementation forum .

Ise 1.2, cannot access guest portal

I upgraded from 1.1.4 patch 3 to 1.2 but cannot access guest portal anymore nor with FQDN:8443 nor with IP:8443
any idea?

I had attached the steps to configure the guest portal and hope will address the problem.
Configuring the Guest Portal
Adding a New Guest Portal You must configure settings for the Guest portal before allowing guests to use it to access the network. Some settings apply globally to all Guest portals and other require you to set them for each portal individually.
You can add a new Guest portal or edit an existing one.
Step 1Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Multi-Portal Configurations.
Step 2Click Add.
Step 3Update the fields on each of these tabs:
•General—enter a portal name and description and choose a portal type.
•Operations—enable the customizations for the specific portal
•Customization—choose a language template for displaying the Guest portal with localized content
•File Uploads—displays only if you have chosen a portal type requiring you to upload custom HTML files.
•File Mapping— identify and choose the HTML files uploaded for the particular guest pages. Displays only if you have chosen a portal type requiring you to upload custom HTML files.
•Authentication—indicate how users should be authenticated during guest login.
Step 4Click Submit.
Specifying Ports and Ethernet Interfaces for End-User Portals
You can specify the port used for each web portal allowing you to use different ports for the end-user portals: Sponsor, Guest (and Client Provisioning), My Devices, and Blacklist portals. The Client Provisioning portal uses ports 8905 and 8909 for posture assessments and remediation, which you cannot change. Otherwise, it uses the same ports assigned to the Guest portal.
You can also partition portal traffic to specific Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. For example, you might not want the Admin portal (which always uses GigabitEthernet 0) available on the same network as guest users or employee devices.
Step 1Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > General > Ports.
Step 2Enter the port value in the HTTPS Port field for each portal. By default, the Sponsor, Guest, My Devices portals use 8443, and the Blacklist portal uses port 8444.
Step 3Check the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces you want to enable for each portal.
Step 4Click Save.
If you have changed the port settings, all nodes (Administration, Policy Services, and Monitoring) restart automatically, which may take several hours to complete.
Tips for Assigning Ports and Ethernet Interfaces
•All port assignments must be between 8000-8999. This port range restriction is new in Cisco ISE 1.2. If you upgraded with port values outside this range, they are honored until you make any change to this page. If you make any change to this page, you must update the port setting to comply with this restriction.
•You must assign the Blacklist portal to use a different port than the other end-user portals.
•Any portals assigned to the same HTTPS port also use the same Ethernet interfaces. For example, if you assign both the Sponsor and My Devices portals to port 8443, and you disable GigabitEthernet 0 on the Sponsor portal, that interface is also automatically disabled for the My Devices portal.
•You must configure the Ethernet interfaces using IP addresses on different subnets. Refer to these guidelines to help you decide how best to assign ports and Ethernet interfaces to the end-user portals:
Specifying the Fully Qualified Domain Name for Sponsor and My Devices Portals
You can set the Sponsor and My Devices portals to use an easy-to-remember fully-qualified domain names (FQDN), such as: mydevices.companyname.com or sponsor.companyname.com. Alternatively, Cisco ISE also supports wildcard certificates to address certificate name mismatch issues. You must configure DNS to resolve to at least one policy services node. If you have more than one policy services node that will provide portal services, you should configure high availability for the portal. For example, you could use a load balancer or DNS round-robin services.
Before You Begin
Step 1Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > General > Ports.
Step 2Scroll to the Portal FQDNs section, and check the appropriate setting:
•Default Sponsor Portal FQDN
•Default My Devices Portal FQDN
Step 3Enter a fully qualified domain name.
Step 4Click Save, and all nodes (Administration, Policy Services, and Monitoring) restart automatically, which may take several hours to complete.
Step 5Configure the network DNS server so that it resolves the FQDN to the Sponsor or My Devices portal nodes. You must also update DNS to ensure the FQDN of the new URL resolves to a valid policy service node IP address. Additionally, to avoid certificate warning messages due to name mismatches, you should also include the FQDN of the customized URL in the subject alternative name (SAN) attribute of the local server certificate of the Cisco ISE policy service node.

Help required regarding webCenter Portal Development

Hi Sir ,

Supervisor can give the task to student group and student group has to upload /Submit the required Deliverable /(task file ) supervisor within the given period MARK THIS TASK AS AN OK AND GIVE ANOTHER TASK OR ASK FOR METING
in this way We achieve/provide
Provide Central Repository for the Whole Software Projects that are Valuable ..
ALSO DOCUMENT TRACEABILITY is achieved
Workflow management (Task given and submission and meetings and attendance etc)
This Functionality plus Basic ADF and WebCenter built in Functionality can also improve Collaboration and Productivity and Performance
