Bea Portal Group and Group selection / um:getPorperty

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to set the default group
in which <um:getProperty> looks into when the user does not have
the requested property set into his profile.
I noticed that by default it looks into the current group portal.
However I would like to make it look into a specific sub group
of the group portal.
In the same way there are checks to dertermine if a user belongs to
several portal groups, I would like to extend these checks and include
sub groups in the tests and selection.
I saw that the webflow uses GroupFormProcessor and GroupProcessor but
couldn't find the source code to see what needs to be initialized for
<um:getProperty> to work correclty.
I saw the successor attribute in <um:getProfile>, but I would like to
know if there's a way to avoid specifying it each time... by setting a
value in the session for instance ?
Thanks for your help,
Best Regards,
Thierry

Hello Thierry,
You probably want to set the explicit successor in the session. A
successor is a group from which a user inherits properties. An explicit
successor is one that is specified in the getProperty() call underlying the
<um:getProperty> tag. Just for your information, this is as opposed to an
implicit successor, which is persisted for the user and is associated with a
property set. You can use the methods of ProfileWrapper to persist an
implicit successor for a user for a specific property set.
The portal framework sets the ProfileWrapper in the session using the
com.bea.p13n.usermgmt.SessionHelper.putProfileInSession() method. It sets
the explict successor for this profile to be equal to the group that was
selected by the user to apply for this portal session when they logged on
(if they are only a member of 1 group, then they were not prompted for which
group...the group was simpley set as the explicit successor). The call to
SessionHelper.putProfileInSession() is done in the PostLoginProcessor in the
portal security webflow (see the webflow in your EBCC).
You can override this by using SessionHelper.putProfileInSession()
yourself or by putting <um:getProfile> into your portal.jsp page.
<um:getProfile> does the same thing (uses
SessionHelper.putProfileInSession() to put the ProfileWrapper into the
session).
If I were you, I'd put <um:getProfile> with session scope at the top of
portal.jsp and use the group that you are interested in as the explicit
successor.
See the <um:getProfile> docs at
http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs70/jsp/p13njsp.htm#1001358

Group and Group counter in Routing

Hi all,
what is group and group counter in routing , how these are used in routing , please explain.
Regards,
Joseph.

Dear Joseph,
1.Each routing is stored against a group and group counter no.
2.When we create routing without respect to any material and only by giving the plant,the set of operations gets saved under one
group counter and group no.
4.Many materials can be assigned to this same group and group counter no,so that the routing is valid for all the materials included.
5.When you create a routing for material specific,the set of operation gets saved in a group no and group counter no as 01,when
you create another routing with another set of operations for the same material,plant and task list combination now the group no
remains same and the group counter gets saved under 02.
6.This data can be further helpful in assigning the routing data in the production version,.
Check and revert

How do I know which group and group counter used to create current estimate

Is there a way to know, if for a given set of materials, what groups and groups counters have been used to create the current cost estimate. Or for a given comboniation of material, group and group counter has been used to create a current cost estimate. I can look each up through displaying the cost estimate but I am looking for a quick way since the number of materials are in 100s.
I was wondering if there is a table I could look up to get the info.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards

The name of the table that needs to be used is KEKO. I figured it out so I thought I would share

Administration Portal user and group managent performace issue

Hi
I have implemented a custom IPlanet LDAP authentication provider which provides
a realization for the needed authentication, group and user management interfaces
(UserReader, UserEditor, GroupReader, GroupEditor).
The authentication provider itself seems to work fine, but I think I found a possible
performance problem in the WebLogic Administration Portal, when I studied the
authentication framework by remote debugging. Response times (with just one simultaneous
user) are quite long (over 8 seconds) with 40 groups on the same hierarchy level
on the Users, Groups and Roles tree. I'm developing with P4 processor and 1 Gb
ram (512 Mb allocated for WLS)
After little debugging I found out that every time a node in the group tree is
dlicked isMember() method of the authentication provider gets called n * (n -1)
times, where n is the number of visible groups in the hierachy tree. '
What happens is that for each group, the membership of all the other visible groups
is checked by the isMember(group, member, recursive), method call. Even the usage
of a membership cache in this point didn't speed up the rendering noticeably.
By placing a break point in the isMember() method and studying the call stack,
one can see that all the isMember() calls are made during the rendering performed
by the ControlTreeWalker. For example if there is 40 groups visible in the tree,
the isMember() method gets called 1600 times. This seems quite heavy. With a
small number of groups per hierarchy level this problem might not be serious,
but in case where there would be over 30 000 customer companies using the portal
and each having their own user groups, it could be an issue.
The problem does not occur with WebLogic console and browsing of groups and users
(using the same authentication provider) is fast with it. When a user is selected
from the user list and the Groups tab is checked, the Possible Groups and Current
Groups list boxes will get populated. When debugging this sequence, one can see
that only the listGroups() method of the authentication provider is called once
per list box and the order of method calls is of order n (rather than n^2 which
is the case with the Administrator Portal).
Has anyone had similar problems with Administrator Portal's performance?

Ville,
You're correct about the performance degradation issue. This is being
addressed in SP2.

Anyconnect tunnel-group and group-policy from LDAP

Recently we've changed from LOCAL to LDAP authentication and added additional group-policies for different users to increase security.
To prevent users from selecting an incorrect group-policy, the LDAP server provides a IETF-Radius-Class value which matches the different group-policy names.
It is my understanding that the authentication method is provided by the tunnel-group.
tunnel-group DefaultWEBVPNGroup general-attributes
authentication-server-group LDAP_AD
This all works, but for _one_ of the group policies i'd like to enable (external) two factor authentication. Two enable two factor auth a 'secondary-authentication-server-group' needs to be set in the tunnel-group.
Creating a tunnel-group which maches the name of the group-policy doesn't seem to have any effect. When listing the connected users via "show vpn-sessiondb anyconnect", it always states the correct Group Policy but also always DefaultWEBVPNGroup.
When enabling the listing of tunnel-groups for webvpn, thus allowing users to select their own tunnel-group, the two factor auth does work.
To summarize, is it possible to let LDAP decide which tunnel-group is used or is there another way to have different group policies without users being able to choose ?

Fabian,
Your connection lands on a tunnel group and picks a group policy.
A typical way to overcome the problem you're indicating is by using group-url.
a URL is bound to a specific tunnel-group and allows you to land directly on the one you desire.

How to implement multlingual on bea portal books and pages

Hi
We are are using BEA weblogic portal.
Now we want to use multilingual on bea portal.
Ho we can change the portal book's name and pages according to languages.
Regards
Paramdeep Singh

In your browser, you maintain your list of desired languages. This is an ordered list with the first language/locale in the list being the primary. This list of languages is passed to the server in as header. The portal server uses this header as the default mechanism to determine the language to serve back to the browser, although this behavior can be changed for your implementation if you wish. The server will look for a matching resource bundle based on the order of preference in your list of accepted languages.
So, if you want to receive fr_FR responses, ensure the fr_FR is listed first in your browsers list of languages and that you have created fr resources in your portal.

How to create Groups and Group Leaders in Clusters.

Hi,
As we know in unicast there is one to one communication and there are groups to control the Thread
Management, How the Groups and the Group Leaders are created.
Regards,
Vardhan.

Unicast clustering uses TCP/IP sockets to pass cluster messages between members. To avoid requiring each cluster member
to have connectivity to every other cluster member, WebLogic Server uses a group leader strategy whereby the oldest member
of the group (in other words, the server that was started first) is designated the group leader. All members of the cluster
connect to the group leader so that the group leader acts as the relay point for cluster messages between members.
If the group leader goes down, the next oldest member becomes the new group leader.
As you can imagine, the group leader strategy works well for small groups but becomes less efficient as the number of members
of the group grows large. As such, WebLogic Server uses a multiple group leader strategy where it limits the number of members
in a group to 10. If the cluster is larger than 10 members, WebLogic Server splits into two or more groups, each with their own
group leader. The group leaders themselves are all interconnected to minimize the number of hops that a cluster message must
traverse to reach all cluster members.

Tasl list group and group counter

hi,
i have one requirement . I have give internal number range to the task list. so my need to to create task list with one group and several group counter. But what is happening is when i run LSMW for that. seperate group numbers has been generated for each task list. is there any way to get the same group number with different counters using LSMW>

hi
since you have given internal number range for task list system will try to create task list with different group numbers .if you want the same group number with different group counter then i think you have to use the task list with external number and use the number created before

Radio group and textarea selection

I have a form with a question like: "How did you hear about us?" and a radio group with some choices. One of the radio group choices is "Other - please describe!". When selected, a text area changes from "read-only" and the user can write something. I am not able to update a record with user's selection in one table field (I can save either radio group selection or text area). Any help? Thank you!

Unfortunately it is not on Internet. But part of the code is this:
if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE sarcini SET solutie_6=%s, introd_6=%s WHERE id_question=%s",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Proposal_text'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['Full_name'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['id_question'], "int"));
mysql_select_db($database_dbconfig, $dbconfig);
$Result1 = mysql_query($updateSQL, $dbconfig) or die(mysql_error());
$updateGoTo = "Search_answer.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $updateGoTo .= (strpos($updateGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
    $updateGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $updateGoTo));
And than:
<INPUT name="Proposal" type="radio" id="Proposal_0" value="No answer." checked="CHECKED">
                No answer.
                </label>
            </div>
              <p align="left">
                  <label>
                <INPUT name="Proposal" type="radio" id="Proposal_2" value="E-mail answer.">
                E-mail proposal</label>
        </p>
            <p align="left">
              <label>
                <INPUT name="Proposal" type="radio" id="Proposal_1" value="I have this answer:">
                I have this answer:</label>
            </p>
            <p>
              <label for="Proposal_text"></label>
              <textarea name="Proposal_text" id="Proposal_text" cols="50" rows="6"></textarea>
I would like to update with: "No answer." , "E-mail answer." or, if id="Proposal_1" is checked, with the values entered by user in textarea "Proposal_text".

Creation of Portal users and group assignments

Hi, everyone. My company just completed a load of some 2000 E-Business suite users into our new portal and have given them group assignments according to payroll. I had gathered a number of routines into a PL/SQL package in order to do this. These came from several sources in these forums, on Metalink, and other places on the internet. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in having it. A lot of it was rewritten on the fly, and I should probably clean it up a bit, but it would have saved me some time if someone had offered it to me. Is there a good place to post things like this? I'm sure that better ways exist to do some of these things than what I used, and I would be interested in some of the experts' comments.
Anyway, let me know if you are interested.

hi Dave,
i am trying to study a problem with group assignments in a proper branch in OID. it would probably be helpful to clear some pieces in this problem from your notes.
would you be kind to send a copy to [email protected]

Group and direct selection tools

I am hovering above artwork with both the Direct Selection tool and the Group Selection tool and they both seem to show the same paths and anchor points.
I am also not sure that I see a difference when selection shapes or groups.
1. Is there any difference with the info that is displayed when hovering over shapes and paths with either of these tools?
2. How does using the group selection tool differ from the direct selection tool?

1. there seems to be no difference
2. basically among other uses, the direct selection tool is used to edit paths/segments, and the group selection tool is used to move paths or groups.

Group and group counter in sap

Hi all,
when i am creating rate routing while how can i change group number, external entry is not possible for group.,

Dear Joy,
check the number range interval in T.Code OP62 for the number range interval whether the check box is included for external
number allowed(which means within the from - To range a number can be entered externally for creating routing).
If not means you can onlu use interval number range,if required a different number range for external series can be configured.
Check and revert back.

Example of creating a valid LDAP user and group in the Portal tree

I need to create (via bulk LDIP or API) fresh users AND groups into OID that can be used by Portal. In theory it sounds easy - just create an appropriate LDIF file.
What is the best way to achieve this?
I don't the know the structure that should be used in the LDIF file that would create the correct structure held for all the Portal users and groups in OID.
I've looked through the OID admin and dev guides but am still confused as to what exactly I have to do. It seems that Portal accounts are synchronised by a method called Provisioning.
All I want to do is bulk upload Portal compatible users into the repository.
Can somebody please assist.
Cheers,
John

I have below changes in files

-- Added identity store and selected it from drop down in Security Context tab.
2] In weblogic-application.xml
In Security tab --> Role assignment mapped valid-users to principle name.
<security>
<realm-name>myrealm</realm-name>
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>valid-users</role-name>
<principal-name>DERDev</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
</security>
3] Same thing done in weblogic.xml . I do not know the difference between weblogic-application.xml and weblogic.xml configuartion and which will work.
4] Added security role "DERDev" along with the default/automatically added role "valid users"
<security-role>
<role-name>DERDev</role-name>
</security-role>
Still no luck ...... i am missing again ? I referred many links but found not a single document mentioning all steps
