Administer tab on portal builder is empty

I have a problem with portlet configuration in the portal builder. I see an empty page in the portlets and database subtabs of administer tab.
I'm using oracle portal server 10g and portal preview Release 10.0.
After I have completed the portal preview installation all works fine, but (I don't know why, but I'm sure that I haven't installed anything after portal preview) now if I click the administer tab in the portal builder I can see three subtabs (Portal, Portlet and Database) but I see blank page for portlet and database subtabs.
Can someone help me?

Additionally, you need to assign the following process roles to your user:
com.sap.caf.eu.gp.roles.runtime_wc - for runtime tools usage
com.sap.caf.eu.gp.roles.administration - GP administration
com.sap.caf.eu.gp.roles.designtime - design time toolset

Search administer tab problem

I currently have a problem with the Search Settings on the Administer Tab of the Portal Design-time Pages part of my application. It has worked previously but at present when the Search settings link is hit (if I need to change the page in which the Basic search is shown) then it wil no longer give me access and says that it has been remoevd, no longer available or I don't have access to it. How do I restore this page?

What version of portal are you using, i am presuming you are on 9.0.2.
The deletion of the results page which was selected in the search settings screen is most likely the cause of the problems you are seeing. When the search settings screen is being rendered it is encountering an error as the page no longer exists and the settings screen can not continue to be rendered. This was a known problem in 9.0.2 and has not been fixed in a later release.
If you have access to the portal schema via sqlplus, you can use an API to reset the search results page to an existing page and then you will be able to get back into the search settings.
Follow these steps
- determine the page id and page group id of an existing search results page
- you can either do this by querying the tables or navigating to the actual page. In the latter case, when on the actual page the the url will contain a parameter '_pageurl' which will contain the page and page group ids
The page id is the 1st number, the page group id is the 2nd number and if there is a 3rd number it is the tab reference
i.e If the parameter is pageid=6,873,6874, the page group id is 873 and the page id is 6
- once the ids are known log into the portal via sqlplus and run this snippet of code, replacing the ids 6 with your ids.
declare
l_results_page_id number := 6;
l_results_page_siteid number := 6;
begin
wwpre_api_value.set_value_as_number(
p_path => 'oracle.portal.search',
p_name => 'searchresultpageid',
p_level_type => 'S',
p_level_name => null,
p_value => l_results_page_id
wwpre_api_value.set_value_as_number(
p_path => 'oracle.portal.search',
p_name => 'searchresultpagesiteid',
p_level_type => 'S',
p_level_name => null,
p_value => l_results_page_siteid
commit;
end;
- this will update the setting for the results page and the search settings screen should be able to be acessed now.

How do I access the portal "builder"?

It seems like I am successfully logging in as the orcladmin user via the Login link off of the portal home page (/pls/portal/portal.home), because there is no error upon logging in and I can access the OID admin pages. However, I can't seem to figure out how I get to the pages that will allow me to build portal pages, etc. All I see is the "Home", "Community" , "Refresh","Login" and "Help" buttons on the top navigator. Is there a url that I can type in to access the portal builder pages?
I am quite certain that I am logging in properly because after my initial login, when I click the Login link, it does not take me to the login page, just leaves me where I am at.
Upon my initial login, should'nt I be forwarded to the portal admin page or something??
Any help would be appreciated.

once you login, click on the "corporate documents" tab.
a link to the "builder" should show up in the top right.
clicking on that gets you what you want. (there is then a link to navigator on the top right of that page...if you want to work on pages).

Make sure that you do not clear the Browsing Cache as that will remove the thumbnails that are stored in it.

Portlet disappeared from Portal Builder after editing

I created a Master-Detail form in portal builder. At the end of one edit, I clicked cancel to undo the change. Somehow, the portlet was totally disappeared. I checked the repository table WWA_FORM$ and WWA_MODULES$, this form is still there, but it just does not show up in the portal builder navigator page. Can anybody help me to explain this abnormal behavior and how to get the form back to the builder?
Thank you for your help.

I did more research and found out that the form module that was missing is not in the table WWV_modules$. I am wondering why Oracle portal created such an inconsistancy. The module is still in wwa_modules$ table, but not in wwv_modules$ table. How did the record get deleted from wwv_modules$ table, but not wwa_modules$? I am the only user of this thing and I never delete this module. All I am doing is editing. Anybody has any ideas?

New User - What's the difference Portal Builder and PDK Developer Kit?

I am a bit confused. I have been working with Portal Builder creating some pages. I have currently run across the topic of PDK Developer Kit. How is this different than Portal Builder or is it? Is the PDK download for personal PCs or for the server? What does PDK provide that Builder doesn't?
Thanks.

Hi,
The Oracle Portal Developer Kit (PDK) is a very important & useful component of Oracle Portal. It helps developers ( like me ) to easily convert existing applications into powerful Portlets. It also helps us to get some "context" information from the Portal & take decisions based on it.
You can comfortably use the Portal Builder with the supplied Portlets & develop business solutions - however, at some point, you will notice that you will be working within a confined box. If you need to think "outside-the-box", you will defenitely need to have a look at PDK.
I have shown you the tip of the Iceberg - I would encourage you to download & explore the powerful capabilites of Oracle PDK.

Restore Portal Builder Region

We accidentally deleted the default layout after login that has the tabs (ie. Welcome, Builder, Administer , and Portal Developer etc...) Unfortunately we don't have backups because it's just a test machine.
Is there anyway to restore the builder region or the default layout without reinstalling the business infrastructure part of the application server (Not meta repository?)
I believe that redeploy-ing the portal.jar application located on our Business Infrastructure should do the trick , but not sure. Could someone please confirm????
Thanks in advance.

hi antony,
i am not aware of an easy way. i did some research and it seems as if there is a script called pobdata.sql that is called during an upgrade. this script re-created the portal design time pages as far as i understood. you could check the upgrade scripts from 9.0.4 to 10.1.2 and see if this script is included and can help you.

hope this hint helps.

Portal build best practices

Hello everyone,
I'm soon starting a new WLP92 project and I would like to know which are the recommended best practices for building a portal project.
I have experience with WLP8 projects that, frankly, wasn't easy to build.
Is the following approach still valid?
1 - export the Ant build using Workshop
2 - customize the build if needed (test, etc.)
Is anyone using continuous integration with Cruisecontrol?
What about Maven2? Is anyone using the approach suggested on the dev2dev article ([url http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2007/03/maven-weblogic-portal.html])?
This is quite a broad topic. It would be very interesting if we can use this thread to share common experience about build best practices.
Thanks
Luciano

Debra,
Not aware of any performance issues with the number of tabs in the Level 1 or 2 menus, particularly if you have portal navigation caching enabled.
From an end user perspective I guess "best practice" would be to avoid scrolling in the top level navigation areas completely if possible.
You can do a number of things to avoid this, including:
- Keep the role/folder/workset names as short as possible.
- If necessary break the role down into multiple level 1 entry points to reduce the number of tabs in level 2.
An example of the second point would be MSS. Instead of creating a role with a single workset (i.e. level 1 tab), we usually split it into two folders called something like "My Staff" and My Finance" and define these folders as entry points. We therefore end up with two tabs in level 1 for the MSS role, and consequently a smaller number of tabs in level 2.
Hope that helps......
Regards,
John

Of course the formating won't keep when I post it, I promise you it lookied tidy when I wrote it
In an iView preview clicking a link will overwrite the tab strip probably. You will have to create the iVIew, add iView to a page, add page to role and test it from there. Then it'll work fine I'm sure.
I hope it helps, let me know.

Locked user tab on portal

Hi All,
Iam gettin the following error when iam clicking the 'locked user' tab on the portal .
User Management Exception
An exception occurred. Inform your system administrator.
Suggested Options
Look at the log file for the cause of the error
can anybody help me its very urgent.........
Thanks in advance..........

Hi,
You either have DB inconsistencies, or you are on SP14.
There was a problem with SP14 for the empty lock reason with locked user accounts. If on SP 14, it is best to upgrade. You can also run the UME consistency check tool in order to remove any inconsistencies which might cause this problem.

How does Portal build links ???

Recently i built a portal mainly using tabs and html potlets.
Inside my Intranet all the components were visible correctly.....but not on the Internet.
The images that were supposed to show tabs and logo were not shown.
I looked at the html source and i found out that all http links were mapped to my machine name instead of my www.mydomain.com.
I imagine that is the way the portal is dinamically building the pages that causes this problem, but i cannot understand the way it does it.
It's about a week that i'm struggling with this problem, can anyone help me ?
thanks

Andrea -
One possible work around may be to reference your images relatively. On your <portal mid-tier>/apache/apache/htdocs you can create a directory for your images (do not use images as portal redirects this) so say maybe creage an img directory.
Then reference all your images as /img/image_name.gif
Hope this helps,
Candace
