Accessing Portal Database

Hi Experts
Any Idea how can I access Portal (EP) Database.
I need to access from a system which has Oracle 8i or Oracle 10G SQL-Plus Client installed.
My actual need is to access the User Master.
Regards

If your requirement is to access UME of the portal, then use UME API's rather than accessing the database directly.

Hi Smita,
In case your portal has MS SQL server as its databse, then I am giving the step by step directions to achieve 90% of what you wish to do. Rest 10% you can try on your own.
Go through my article given below:
[How to Create a Web Service using Enterprise JavaBeans|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/b00917dc-ead4-2910-3ebb-b0a63e49ef10]
First go through pages 1-12 which will help you to create user/table in MS SQL database as well as create a data source in Visual Admin. Page 19 will give you the code which you can use in your Portal component to access the tables you have created in your SQL database.
I hope your problem gets solved.

How to copy/move Portal database from one machine to another?

I am receiving a ORA-22973 error (size of object identifier exceeds maxmum size allowed) on the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table when attempting to import my entire "portal30" schema from one database to another on different Windows NT Servers.
Background: I had Portal 3.0.9.8 installed, configured, and running with the following setup:
Machine 1: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2, Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8
Machine 2: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
We no longer have use of Machine 2 and needed to move the database over to Machine 1.
I performed the following steps:
1. Installed Oracle 8i database 8.1.7.0.0 on Machine 1.
2. Set up the tablespaces in the database on Machine 1 to match the same names and sizes of the tablespaces in the database on Machine 2.
3. Used the Oracle "exp" command to export the entire database that resided on Machine 2.
4. Copied the ".dmp" file to Machine 1.
5. Used the Oracle "imp" command to import the entire database on Machine 1.
6. The import completed successfully with warnings. But I had received the ORA-22973 error during the import process.
7. After it completed I compared the list of tables and packages in the "portal30" schema between the two databases. The wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table is missing.
8. I tried to export and import only the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table between the two databases, but continue to receive the ORA-22973 error.
Without the table being created, access to the portal cannot be achieved.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there anyway to create the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table without receiving the noted error?
2. Is there any other workable way to get the portal database from Machine 2 to Machine 1?
I am aware of the portal import/export utilities but that would require me to run through the 2 hour install of Portal 3.0.9.8 on the database on Machine 1 and then individually export and import all the portal components (security, pages, applications, content library, etc). I merely wanted to transfer the entire database from one machine to another, so I felt the Oracle exp/imp utilities would be quicker and less work.

Hi,
I've been hitting problems with Portal 3.0.9.8.1 against 8.1.7.2.1 on NT - i.e., Intermedia not working at all, and have been advised by support to move back to 8.1.7.1.1.
I don't want to lose any of my content in the Portal since the db upgrade and am wondering on what is the best way to do this.
The version of the Portal will be the same so I am hoping I can just use the Portal export and import utilities, as afterall, it is just data and the schema structures are the same between db versions. I'm also hoping that the Portal export doesn't use the standard Oracle EXP tool as it doesn't work anymore on 8.1.7.2.1 on NT!!

Accessing a database in dynpro

Hello,
I'm new to dynpro. My requirement is to access a database ( MaxDB or Oracle ) through dynpro application. The database is present on WAS.
I have to fetch data from database & display it in dynpro interface. Also update to database by entering data through dynpro interface should be possible.
Is direct access to databse in dynpro possible? Any solution to this?
Thanks

Hi Prasanna,
You can also check the tool which will create Java classes for the tables in Database.

Creating a ZTable in portal database

HI,
We have a case where we need to create some ZTable to strore some custom values. We can create this table in ECC and access it in Portal applications but it would be better if we can extend the same database of portal to accomodate few tables. How can we achieve this? Which is the best method to do this?
Regards,
Nirmal

Hi Nirmal,
Its always recommented not to directly access the Portal Database. The best practice would be to create a table in ECC and expose a BAPI for accessing this from Portal.

Error WS-32141 while accessing portal help in 3.0.9.8.4 after installing intermedia

Hi All,
I'm hitting the error, "No page has been created for this Content Area (WWS-32141)" while accessing portal help in 3.0.9.8.4.
This error is coming after installing intermedia in my 8.1.7.3 database (not the enable intermedia option in GUI). Is this a known issue?
Thanks in advance.
With best regards,
Nevin

Zdenek,
I had the same thing happen. What I did was abandon the install, uninstall ALL Oracle from my machine (I had Oracle reports, JDeveloper and other stuff installed). This included uninstalling 8.1.7 (Don't know if I needed to go that far but I did). Once my machine was clean I installed 8.1.7, created a minimal database and installed 9iAS. I didn't get that error again, but the Portal install failed miserably and I'm to the point of starting over again.
One problem I'm having is a recurring blue screen of death with NTOSKRNL.EXE having an unhandled exception, never had that till I installed 9iAS so I am thinking that the error is somehow related. Have you seen that?

Hw to find the tables in the Portal Database

Hello,
I'm new to this Portals. I would like to know where the database tables stored in Portal Database. We are using the Oracle as the database. Can you please tell me where can I view the database tables.
thnx in advance
cheers
murali

Hi Murali,
they are stored in a database which has the same name as your instance, for example J2E. KMC tables (most of them - if not all - starting with "KMC_") are stored within the same database as the portal tables are (this wasn't the case for EP5 and EP6 SP2 on 6.20).
Anyhow, you shouldn't touch or trying to access these tables directly. Two reasons for this: (a) there are APIs for (almost) everything which can be accessed from the DB tables, even if sometimes not documented. Anyhow, the DB schema isn't documented, too, so you should choose the "upper layer"; (b) the DB schema is subject to change without notice (and this is also done regulary); whereas the released (=documented) APIs are stable and the non-released are at least quite stable, too.
Hope it helps

Sharing Portal database connection with JSP page

Hi out there,
I implemented a JSP page as a selection form to be integrated into Oracle Portal. This JSP page contains a 'dynamic' form which needs to send queries to the database also integrated in the Portal.
For this I am currently using a JDBC connection but I would prefer to use the internal db connection of the Portal System.
Explanation: The user has to log in to the Portal and after that can call the JSP form. To poulate some comboboxes within this form I need some data from the database and the user does have READING privileges on that database.
Can anybody tell me how to use the user's login and password (or the established connection) to fetch the needed data from the database OTHER than with a jdbc connection?
Thanx in advance!
Cheers,
Thomas

sorry. not going to happen. you're running in a completely different environment when running Java on Portal. Portal is running in the database; your Java is running on the application server. your Java code must use JDBC to access any database resources, even if Portal related.
it is essential that you implement a connection pool on the application server to optimize your database traffic. check out bitmechanic for a very good open source option.
good luck,

Can we use AD authentication for SPoint users to access Portal behind OID?

Hi,
We have Oracle Portal with OID-AD sychronization set up, and are currently implementing SharePoint in our organization.
We would like to provide links to a few pages on our Portal to some of the SharePoint users.
The SharePoint users are authenticated by the Active Directory SSO and the Portal users are authenticated by our OID SSO setup.
What we want to do is to let some SharePoint users access our Portal using their AD login. The SharePoint users should not have to login again to get to our Portal pages.
Is there a way to let the AD authentication to pass through the OID setup so that SharePoint users can directly access our Portal?
We don't have any external authentication plug-ins set up for our Portal.
Currently we are on Portal version 9.0.4.1 but may be upgrading to version 10.1.4.2 in the near future.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
But I have a different scenario.
I want to establish it in such a way that certain users are stored in the LDAP and certain users are stored in the Portal Database.

Portal Database -- What it is? Can we store data in Portal itself?

Hi Experts,
Can you please let me know what is portal database?
Can I store some information like Emp No and Tel No in Portal itself?
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav,
1.Portal Database holds the portal related data like iviews,worksets,pages, roles etc.
Refer to [How the Portal Works|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/42/BFA145731B1D64E10000000A1553F6/content.htm]
2. Emp No and Tel No are generally for the users, so it depends on how you configure your UME.

No data in Portal Database tables for Activity Report

Hi experts,
I've developed an Activity Report application in SAP Portal 7.0, which went live but the report shows no data.
We are pulling data from 2 portal database tables: WCR_WEBCONTENTSTAT and WCR_USERPAGEUSAGE
In non production environment there is data in the report but there is no data in the production environment.
The Activity Report service is already activated/started and set to true.
What could have caused this? And what should we check now?
What other configurations/setup should be done?
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,
Those are the aggregated tables. If they are not filled with data although the Portal Activity Report is activated, you should check whether the aggregation finished successfully.
In the older SPs there were some problems that were fixed in later SPs of 7.0.
In order to have the latest version of Portal Activity report, you can check SAP note 1084379 - Portal Activity Report - Latest Version (SDA file).
You can compare the SP via the MANIFAST file, as it contains the version and SP number.
In order to troubleshoot problems in Activity Report, you can follow SAP note: 1690023 - Portal Activity Report - Component-specific Note
Some basic checks that you can do:
Run query on the raw data tables to check since when there is data in those tables:
select min(timestamphour) from SAP<SystemID>DB.WCR_WEBCNODESTAT;
If there is too much data from long time ago, then you should delete the old data, and leave only the new data (there is anyways retention time for the data to be kept).
If there is no data, then it means that the Portal Activity Report does not collect data, and not really activated (usually this is not the case).
The aggregation runs every top of the hour, so you can check in the default traces for an error during that time.
In most of the cases something went wrong while aggregating the data.
As a result the aggregation is not finished, so the transaction is not being committed, and the aggregated tables stay empty.
If there is a DuplicateKeyException in the trace, you can follow SAP note 1054145 - Duplicate Key Exception.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
I hope this information helps,
Thanks & regards,
Michal Zilcha-Lang
