Accessing ContentDB Webclient from Oracle Portal

Hi All,
Is there a way to access ContentDB webclient from oracle portal application.We are new to oracle portals. Please let us know if anyone has idea about how to proceed on developing it to access ContentDB webclient.
Thanks,

I could be completely wrong here, but I believe you may be able to write a PDK portlet that uses the Content DB API.
The path we are taking is using Webcenter with a JSF bridge and the Content DB (CDB) API. In JDeveloper, we have multiple samples of the ADF/JSF-CDB API functioning. We then moved on and have JHeadstart producing the ADF/JSF; which in turn uses the CDB API. We are currently testing deployment.
Our next step will be to link it with Webcenter and we will have should then have our portlet.
Hope that helps.
Steve

Accessing desktop applications from the portal

Has anyone tried to access desktop applications
from the portal? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm highly interested in this too!
So far, all pointers on portalcatalog.oracle.com to the NFuse portlet has just referred to the Citrix website where NO information can be found!
Anyone know where to find the Citrix NFuse portlet(s) for Oracle Portal?!?

Access remote MonetDB from Oracle using ODBC

Hello,
I really need your help, I have been trying for more that one week to figure out what is the problem without success
Here is the details of my problem:
I have oracle 11g installed on machine1 (ubuntu 64bit) , and I have MonetDB installed on machine2 (ubuntu 64bit, ip= 192.168.56.101)
I need to access MonetDB database from oracle.
I followed the configurations steps but I get always the following error:

I installed unixODBC on the machine1 and I used MonetDB ODBC driver which generates the following odbc.ini file

Hi,
Firstly, try to configure your gateway listener on another port than 1521 as it is the default one for database. Don't forget to change also the port in TNSNAMES.ORA.
Then use the host machine or ip address rather than the local host in the LISTENER.ORA and TNSNAMES.ORA.
Avoid to use $ORACLE_HOME in the ENVS from LISTENER.ORA but use a complete PATH.
Then test your ODBC connection outside Oracle. What is the result?
Try to get result of the following commands on the Oracle machine1 :
$cd /usr/bin
$./odbcinst -q -d
$./odbcints -q -s
Change parameter in gateway init file:
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=DEBUG
Execute your SELECT statement:
select "id" from "test"@monetdb;
Get the gateway trace file in /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/hs/log and send us
Thanks

Custom DB authentication to an application from Oracle Portal not working.

Hi All,
We have a Portal customized and integrated to LDAP for SSO.
From the portal, we have a link that takes to another custom application that requires another level of authentication. We have implemented this authentication as custom Database based authentication.
When user login to the portal and access this link, he will be directed for authentication again. This custom application has been installed on a different OC4J instance while Oracle Portal is running in a different OC4J instance.
Issue is though user details are being propagated to the custom application page, we are receiving an error saying authentication failed.
In the OC4J instance specific for this custom application, we have configured jazn.xml to use custom authentication.
Below is the code:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8' standalone = 'yes'?>
<!DOCTYPE jazn PUBLIC "JAZN Config" "http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/dtds/jazn-9_04.dtd">
<jazn provider="XML" location="./jazn-data.xml" default-realm="jazn.com">
<property name="role.mapping.dynamic" value="true"/>
<property name="custom.loginmodule.provider" value="true"/>
</jazn>
and in jazn-data.xml, we gave the role mapping.
But the problem is when the link to the custom application is accessed, it seems like the custom autentication mechanism is not working.
Can anyone throw light on this?
Do we need to give the same configuration in the j2ee/home/config directory files also?
Can we use both LDAP and custom DB authentication with in the same OAS setup. Remember as of now, Portal and custom application are running in different OC4J instances but within the same OAS.
Any help in this regard will be highely appreciated.
Thanks,
Sasi Bhushan

Accessing mysql database from oracle using dg4odbc

I've been trying to create a database link from a MySQL database to Oracle using the Oracle dg4odbc gateway. I downloaded and installed DataDirect's ODBC package which includes mysql ODBC library (ddmysql24.so) and a generic ODBC libary (libodbc.so). After creating the DSN in odbc.ini, I tested it and it can connect to the mysql database. Then I created the init{SID}.ora file in hs/admin directory, added dg4odbc lines in the listener.ora, and added lines in tnsnames.ora. Then I tnspinged the new SID with success. Finally, I created the database link. However, when I tried to access the database link using the commands "select * from mdl_user@moodle;", I got the ORA-28500 error like the following:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[DataDirect][ODBC 20101 driver][20101]You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '"mdl_user"' at line 1
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from MOODLE
My mysql database is utf8 by default. Do I have to use latin1?
It seems to me that the dg4odbc translates the sql commands incorrectly (having double quotes around the selected table).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jeffrey

The syntax error occures for example when MySQL isn't running in ANSI mode and thus does not allow double quotes around the objects. DG4ODBC 11.1.0.6 by default always adds double quotes to table/column/view names.
A quick test to check if you hit the double quote issue would be to set the MySQL DB into ANSI mode:
- Open SQL*Plus
- execute:
DECLARE
ret integer;
c integer;
BEGIN
c := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.OPEN_CURSOR@moodle;
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.PARSE@moodle(c, 'SET SESSION SQL_MODE=''ANSI_QUOTES'';');
ret := DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.EXECUTE_NON_QUERY@moodle(c);
dbms_output.put_line(ret ||' passthrough output');
DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.CLOSE_CURSOR@moodle(c);
END;
- Now run your select statement
=> if it now works, you can permanently change the MySQL config to be ANSI compliant or you can apply the 11.1.0.7 patchset to DG4ODBC.

Accessing SQL Server from Oracle

I found an article:
http:www.databasejournal.com/features/oracle/article.php/3442661
It shows how to setup a connection from Oracle to SQL Server.
I am new to Oracle Using SQL Loader and PL/SQL.
I would like to use the SQL Loader in Oracle to load a table in SQL Server. It is my understanding that a ctl file is used and is called by an Oracle application.
I would not have an Oracle application. I would like to use the ctl file to load the SQL Server table. Can someone point me on how to use the ctl file for SQL Server?
Also, in PL/SQL would there be a connection string to connect to SQL Server when accessing a table.
Is there a book or some documentation that would address the above?
Thanks in Advance.

that article shows you how to access SQL Server database through Oracle, therefore you have no need to use SQL Loader to load data from SQL Server bcos it can be queried directly by using simple select statement.
If you want to load the data into Oracle just use CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ...
in PL/SQL, what you need is the database link.
Cheers,
NH

Solution to get pageid from Oracle Portal in 14 Steps

To get the _pageid from your site is simple you have to do this:
Example browser link -> portal/page?_pageid=34,35030&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
1º - Edit your template page click in the "properties" link
2º - go to the tab Parameters
3º - create a new parameter with the name _pageid
4º - click in navigator and after click in providers
5º - Locally Built Providers and create your build APP for your site (in my case the name is APP_PORTAL)
6º - Create your dynamic page (in my case DYN_MENU to use a menu based in the pageid)
7º - uses this code:
/* the pageid have the number of your site (in this case psiteid) and the number of the page (in this case ppag)
after this you can call procedures using this two variables like the procedure menu who is create in the my package portal in the etcuser:
in the step or tab "Custumization Form Display Options" who detect the bind variable :pageid click in the option "Make public"
<ORACLE>declare
psiteid NUMBER(4);
ppag NUMBER(7);
begin
psiteid:=TO_NUMBER(substr(:pageid, 1, INSTR(:pageid, ',', 1, 1)-1));
ppag :=TO_NUMBER(substr(:pageid, INSTR(:pageid, ',', 1, 1)+1));
htp.p('Site: '|| psiteid ||' Page: '|| ppag ||'');
etcuser.portal.menul(ppag, psiteid);
end;
</oracle>
8º - After this you only need to associate in the template the _pageid parameter with bind variable :pageid of your dinamic page
9º - In your template add a Portlet to the region
10º - click in Portlet Staging Area - your build repository (in my case APP_PORTAL) and chose the DYN_MENU
11º - after click in the link properties of the template page go to the tab parameters again
12º - In the Portlet Parameter Values now you can expand your dinamic applications (in my case de DYN_MENU)
13º - Expand your application and associate the Portlet Parameter (in this case de pageid) equal (=) chose "Page Parameter" and select in the combo the _pageid
14º - The job is done now you have the pageid in your oracle portal pages
:)

No... work's in oracle portal 10.1.4 if your system is configured to pass the pageid like my example. And my page only have one template for the entire portal and you only need to add the Dynamic page only one time in the template.

How can I access BOE Universes from SAP Portal?

I'm trying to access an Universe on BOE server from SAP Portal. Does anyone know if this is possible or not? Additions, is it possible to get access to the list of universes from the portal?

Hi Ingo,
I think we are talking about the same KM. Yes, I could see all folders from the BOE server inside portal KM repository. However, I could not see any of the universes. If I put a Webi document in one of the visible folders, then I can see the webi document.
If it is possible, I'd prefer not to go the other route to use SDK.
Thanks,

How to access environment variables from Oracle Forms

Hi,
Any idea how to use the Environment variables from Oracle Forms.
My basic problem is that from Oracle form I am calling Batch file which calls excel file with a macro.
So i want to check whether the macro was successful or not.
So in my batch file i will set %errorlevel% which I should be able to read from Oracle Forms.
I am able to read the registry from oracle forms, so is there anyway to read environment variable as well?
Thanks!

Access Flat Files From Oracle Forms Using Simba

Hi,
I need to access Flat Files using Simba and display the data using Oracle Forms on Solaris. The Flat Files, Simba and Oracle Forms is on Solaris.
Thanks.
Sanjay R Naidu.

Hi,
not knowing the flat file's format and why you need SIMBA for it, Forms provides a text_io package that can read from files. You need to parse the file's content and then bring this to a datablock.

How to make Firefox access the internet from Oracle Ent. Unbreakable Linux?

Hello
I have a Dell Duo Core x86 laptop that multiboots Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP and Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux. I use Internet Explorer to
access my email while at the library so I know my laptop can access the internet. I just installed the Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux in text mode and
I can still access the Internet but only if I use one of the Windows operating systems which is why I am keeping them for now. The reason is because when I
use Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux, when I select Firefox to access the internet I get these messages:
"Server not found
Firefox can't find server at www.hotmail.com
-check address for typing errors
-if unable to load pages check network connection
-if computer or network protected by firewall make sure Firefox permitted to access
web"
None of those reasons are true for not gaining access to the internet. I want to use Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux from now which is why I installed
but I need to know:
1) Why do I get the "Server not found" and the other error messages when I try to access the internet using Firefox and what do I have to do to make Firefox
access the internet successfully?

Hi,
First you must confirm your laptop with Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux can access internet.
Please open a terminal, input the following command
1.ifconfig
2.cat /etc/resolv.conf

Jason

How to access web service from Oracle ?

Is there any ACL should be open in order to have this capability? I asked my DBA but she asked me I will need to give her username/password/ip in order to open an ACL...
however there is no username/password required while visiting the web service...
Any help would be highly appreciated..

It needs the same type of network access that your browser on your PC enjoys. (firewalls opened, proxy authentication if required, etc).
On 11g. Not on 10g.I saw the example code you post through the link you provided... will those only work on 11g?
If it can work on 10g, what package or what steps I need to follow in order to have that working on me?The code I've posted will work on both versions. My comment was regards to ACLs. No ACLs existed on 10g. So you only need execute privs on the relevant packages (e.g. UTL_HTTP, etc).
ACLs were introduced with 11g - so on 11g you also need the DBA to create an ACL for you that will allow UTL_HTTP access to the network.

Accessing SQL Server from ORACLE using Transparent Gateway

So I had downloaded the gateway installer and was following the guide here to set up the Transparent Gateway for SQL Server: http://www.orafusion.com/art_orahs.htm
After I had created the database link, I was prompted the following error when trying to do a simple select statement from the SQL Server DB:
>
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
12154. 00000 - "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
*Cause:    A connection to a database or other service was requested using
a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
naming method repository, or the repository could not be
located or reached.
*Action:
- If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
- Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
(SQLNET.ORA)
- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
directory and is accessible.
- Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier
exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
- Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA
file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors
in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
- If you are using directory naming:
- Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the
NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
(SQLNET.ORA).
- Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is
accessible.
- Verify that the net service name or database name used as the
connect identifier is configured in the directory.
- Verify that the default context being used is correct by
specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN
as the connect identifier
- If you are using easy connect naming:
- Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the
NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
(SQLNET.ORA).
- Make sure the host, port and service name specified
are correct.
- Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks.

Hi kgronau,
>
After changing a listener.ora file you need to STOP and START the listener to get the changes loaded. It looks like your listener is not serving the 1524 port which could be related to the fact that you didn't stop/start the listener after you've edited the listener.ora file.
... But as stated earlier - please do not use a 10.2 listener to start an 11g gateway. Instead configure the listener of the gateway home.
>
I did restart my listener under services.msc whenever I make the changes but there are no effect. Please also note that I can only find "OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener" under my services.msc. There is no 11.2 Listener. I did install the gateway and the installation was successful as far as I can tell. But perhaps because there's no 11.2 Listerner under my services.msc, could that mean it was a bad installation?

Next point is the tnsping you've used is 11.2. You need to make sure that you use the tnsping of the Oracle Database home as the database initiates the gateway connection so the database home tnsnames,ora needs the tns entry for the gateway.

My current PATH environment variables setting is as follow: C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\tg_1\bin;C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin; So perhaps, I just need to ensure the 10.2 ORACE home is the first?

As a final tip: There are so many web sites explaining how to configure DG4ODBC - many of them are faulty. If you need a reliable configuration, please have a look at "My Oracle Support" => How to Configure DG4ODBC (Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC) on Windows 32bit to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install     [Document 466225.1]     )

Is there a link?
