Best practice for weblogic portal

While creating a portal application , what is the best approach, use jsp or jsr-168 portlets and minimum proprietary tags from weblogic or should use all those custom controls and stuff from weblogic

Hi,
There is no such best practices given by the Bea Systems.But if you are creating a weblogic portal application and you want to have portlet rendered on the portal,the pageFlow portlet is the best way to render your web application on the portal.There are advantanges of the pageFlow:
(1)Easy in development of web application
(2)Graphical view of your navigation
(3)J2EE Resources can be accessed easily with use of controls.
(4)Can use Behive Netui tags which is having lots of tags which can be used without writing complex logic.
(5)Complex j2ee logic can be written in the form of Annotation which can help the developer to write complex j2ee coding
Thx

  • Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal

    Hi,
    We are implementing EP for ECC 5.0 and we have to web enable some FI transactions like FB50/fb60 etc. We want to use standard business package for this. The only business package that caters this requirement is "Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal 60.1". When i checked the data source for this business package, the specification is for "SAP R/3 4.6B and above". Does this work for ECC 5.0 as well? In general does the R/3 specific business packages work for ECC versions? Please let me know. Thanks for the help.  I promise rewards.

  • Best practice for moving portal solution using content db from UAT to PROD

    Hi,
     Would like to know can we backup the database from UAT env. and restore the  same to  PROD. if all of my functionality is working fine in UAT env.
    I have event receivers[web level features], site collection level features,custom web parts, custom permissions, saved site templates, custom discussion forums etc.
    Assuming that I have my custom solution deployed on the Prod. which will activate features for those web parts and my custom application page features.
    Is there any issues I can anticipate in PROD.env, if i perform this activity.
    or
    Is this approach not recommended by Microsoft ? if yes , whats the best approach for deploying portal solution in PROD?
    Should I create teh web application, site collections, everything in PROD.from scratch.
    any links regarding this approach and the bext practices / helpful info is appreciated.

    Thanks Trveor for the reply.
    so, I can go ahead and  create the web applns, site collections and  deploy my web parts, item event receivers, appln pages and my timer jobs in UAT and take the  backup of the same and restore it in PROD env.
    But, i ahve a doubt here , as I have few site pages created it in my site template and when i take the backupof this web apppln's content db --- [ i think i can take the backup of web appln content db through power shell] ---- 
    will the site pages also be part of this backup?
    I had some experience in prev.version of SP, wherein i have few site pages and saved site template I have taken the backup of the  web appln and  restore it in another farm and  associate the restored content db to the
    newly created web appln in the targeted farm.
    But when I navigated to thsoe restored site pages, it gave me "resource not found /file not found " error.
     I had  deployed the custom web parts as a custom wsp and added into those site pages.
    and it failed to load those web parts UI.
    I was not sute whether this happened because of backup or restore from source  spfarm to the  targeted sp farm .

  • Best Practice for Portal Patches and effort estimation

    Hi ,
    One of our client is applying the following patches
    1. ECC 6.0 SP15(currently SP14)
    2. ESS MSS SP15(currently SP14 with some level of functional customization )
    3. EP 7 SP18(currently SP14)
    We would like to kwow the best practice for applying portal patches and the effort estimation for redoing the portal devt on the new patch.
    o   What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
    o   How are all the changes to SAP objects handle?  Do they have to be
         manually re-entered?
    o  What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
        Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
    Regards,
    Revathi Raju.

    Hi Revathi,
    o What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
    overall effort to apply the patch is apprx 1/2-1 days for NW7 system. This is exclude the patch files download because it's based on your download speed.
    o How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
    manually re-entered?
    Depending on your customization. Normally it wont effect if you created the customzation application apart from SAP standard application
    o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
    Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
    Any change that related to NWDI, you might be need to re-deployed from NWDI itself.
    Thanks

  • Best Practice for Instance

    Hi
    what is the best practice for weblogic in terms of creation of instance. Suppose I have 10 applications which are independent but can be grouped in 3 bunch. So whether all should go under once instance or more than one instance is advisable.
    Thanks
    Vishal

    Start with 1 if you can run all 10 apps on 1 instance and your apps are not going to handle much load.
    But you still have to do your homework to plan your infrastructure properly. For instance, you may need more than 1 physical server due to network topology, you may need a cluster with many instances simply due to the amount of load your applications may need to handle (or you may have strict HA requirements), you may need different domains because your apps require different versions of the app server, etc.

  • Best Practices for standardizing long text for EP GUI version

    Hello, I have a question that is related to standardizing best practices for all portal applications that use EP
    1) The portal team has recommended activating the GUI version from portal to allow the long text to have the same features as the standard GUI.  Since this solution is per transaction, we will need to identify what transactions need to have this temporary solution built in.  Also, business users will need to remember which transactions they will access via portal or GUI.
    (2) Even though the long text function is activated via GUI per transaction, the system will prompt a message of u201CRuntime Error!  Program C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXEu201D.  This may create frustrations to the users each time they maintain the long text.  The risk of this may be losing the use of long text throughout the maintenance orders, production orders, notifications, material masters, equipment masters, maintenance task lists, production routings, etc.
    All feedback welcomed
    Thanks Mark

    I found the solution, make everything in Illustrator (well text anyway) at a big size then bring it ibto Photoshop in a dicument 1024 x 576 (so no widescreen pixel ratio) then when saving document bring size of Image to 720 x 576 then you get great anti aliased pictures.
    Solved.

  • Best Practices for BI, ADF and Oracle Forms installations on Weblogic

    Hi, I'm researching options on upgrading to Oracle 11g Middleware. My company currently has Oracle Forms 10g running on Oracle Application Server.
    We are interested in using Oracle Forms 11g, ADF and Jdeveloper, and Business Intelligence with Oracle's Weblogic 10.3.5.
    Is there any whitepapers or documentation on best practices for installing alll of these components together?
    For instance, can ADF ( with JSF 2.x ) be installed in the same domain as Oracle Forms 11g but use different managed servers?
    Will Business Intelligence need to be in a seperate Oracle Home with it's own weblogic installation? I spend a lot of time trying to get the JSF upgraded to 2.x in the Business Intelligence installation and could not get it to work.
    I know it's a pretty broad question but thank you for any direction on this.

    Thanx for the reply! I read through the documents and they are very good at explaining how to install the different components individually. I still can't find much on installing them together. I hope it's not just going to be a trial and error thing.
    So far I've installed done the following successfully:
    Installed 10.3.5 weblogic
    Forms and Reports 11g on top of 10.3.5
    I've created an additional managed server for our ADF applications.
    My next step is upgrading the JSF to 2.x. I would have to stage patches 12917525 and 12979653. I'm afraid it will break the forms and reports though. Any ideas?

  • Portal Design - Best Practices for Role and Workset Tab Menu

    We are looking to identify and promote best practices in SAP Portal Design. 
    First, is there a maximum number of tabs which should exist on the highest level tab menu, commonly called the role menu?  Do a large number of tabs on this menu cause performance issues?  Are there any other issues associated with a large number of tabs on this menu?
    Second, can the workset tab menu be customized to be 2 lines of tabs?  Our goal is to prevent tab scrolling.
    Thanks

    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

  • Best Practices for Staging

    Hey Guys!
    We are currently evaluating Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse with one of our new projects.
    As we are moving from development phase to QA, we are looking for ways to standardize the staging process. Up to now we were unable to figure out how or where OEPE creates the artifacts (war & ear files) before they are deployed to the remote target environment (Weblogic Server) for tests during development. We had assumed that OEPE uses a simple ANT file or something similar we could use for our staging environments.
    Is there a Best Practice for Staging? What does Oracle recommend?
    Thanks in advance - Alex

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know the best practices to deploy SharePoint Portal in different SharePoint environment.
    If the site is not existing in the production server, we can save the site from the development server, and then import it to the production server.
    But if the site is already existing in the production server, we should follow these steps to just add the taxonomy and content types to the production server:
    Save the site from Dev as a template
    Import the template as solution in Visual Studio
    Remove unnecessary items from the solution(Please pay more      attention on it. If a content type/list... in the solution is existing in      the production site too, it will replace the
    same object existing in the      production after deployment)
    Package the solution
    Deploy the solution in the production
    For more detailed, please see:

  • BEST PRACTICES FOR CREATING DISCOVERER DATABASE CONNECTION -PUBLIC VS. PRIV

    I have enabled SSO for Discoverer. So when you browse to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer you get prompted for your SSO
    username/password. I have enabled users to create their own private
    connections. I log in as portal and created a private connection. I then from
    Oracle Portal create a portlet and add a discoverer worksheet using the private
    connection that I created as the portal user. This works fine...users access
    the portal they can see the worksheet. When they click the analyze link, the
    users are prompted to enter a password for the private connection. The
    following message is displayed:
    The item you are requesting requires you to enter a password. This could occur because this is a private connection or
    because the public connection password was invalid. Please enter the correct
    password now to continue.
    I originally created a public connection...and then follow the same steps from Oracle portal to create the portlet and display the
    worksheet. Worksheet is displayed properly from Portal, when users click the
    analyze link they are taken to Discoverer Viewer without having to enter a
    password. The problem with this is that when a user browses to
    http://host:port/discoverer/viewer they enter their SSO information and then
    any user with an SSO account can see the public connection...very insecure!
    When private connections are used, no connection information is displayed to
    SSO users when logging into Discoverer Viewer.
    For the very first step, when editing the Worksheet portlet from Portal, I enter the following for Database
    Connections:
    Publisher: I choose either the private or public connection that I created
    Users Logged In: Display same data to all users using connection (Publisher's Connection)
    Users Not Logged In: Do no display data
    My question is what are the best practices for creating Discoverer Database
    Connections.
    Is there a way to create a public connection, but not display it in at http://host:port/discoverer/viewer?
    Can I restrict access to http://host:port/discoverer/viewer to specific SSO users?
    So overall, I want roughly 40 users to have access to my Portal Page Group. I then want to
    display portlets with Discoverer worksheets. Certain worksheets I want to have
    the ability to display the analyze link. When the SSO user clicks on this they
    will be taken to Discoverer Viewer and prompted for no logon information. All
    SSO users will see the same data...there is no need to restrict access based on
    SSO username...1 database user will be set up in either the public or private
    connection.

    You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.
    So that it won't ask for password.
    Another thing is there is an option of entering password or not in ASC in discoverer section, if your version 10.1.2.2. Let me know if you need more information

  • Best Practices for Defining NDS Java Projects...

    We are doing a Proof of Concept on using NDS to develop non-SAP Java applications.  We are attempting to determine if we can replace our current Java development tools with NDS/WAS.
    We are struggling with SAP's terminology and "plumbing" for setting up/defining Java projects.  For example, what is and when do you define Tracks, Software Components, Development Components, etc.  All of these terms are totally foreign to us and do not relate to our current Java environment (at least not that we can see).  We are also struggling with how the DTR and activities tie in to those components.
    If any one has defined best practices for setting up Java projects or has struggled with and overcome these same issues, please provide us with some guidance.  This is a very frustrating and time-consuming issue for us.
    Thank you!!

    Hi Peggy,
    In Component Model we divide software projects into small components.Components can use other components in well defined manner.
    A development object is a part of a component that can be changed or developed in some way; it provides the component with a certain part of its functionality. A development object may be a Java class, a Web Dynpro view, a table definition, a JSP page, and so on. Development objects are always stored as “sources” in a repository.
    A development component can be defined as a frame shared by a number of objects, which are part of the software.
    Software components combine components (DCs) to larger units for delivery and deployment.
    A track comprises configurations and runtime systems required for developing software component versions.It ensures stable states of deliverables used by subsequent tracks.
    The Design Time Repository is for versioning source code management. Distributed development of software in teams. Transport and replication of sources.
    You can also find lot of support in SDN for the above concepts with tutorials.

  • Best Practice for External Libraries Shared Libraries and Web Dynrpo

    Two blogs have been written on sharing libraries with Web Dynpro DC, but I would
    like to know the best practice for doing this.
    External libraries seem to work great at compile time, but when deploying there is often an error related to the external library not being a deployed component. 
    Is there a workaround for this besides creating a shared J2EE library which I have been able to get working?  I am not interested in something that works, but really
    what are the best practice for this. What is the best way to  limit the number of jars that need to be kept in a shared library/ext library.  When is sharing ref service/etc a valid approach vs. hunting down the jars in the portal libraries etc and storing in an external library.

    Security is mainly about mitigation rather than 100% secure, "We have unknown unknowns". The component needs to talk to SQL Server. You could continue to use http to talk to SQL Server, perhaps even get SOAP Transactions working but personally
    I'd have more worries about using such a 'less trodden' path since that is exactly the areas where more security problems are discovered. I don't know about your specific design issues so there might be even more ways to mitigate the risk but in general you're
    using a DMZ as a decent way to mitigate risk. I would recommend asking your security team what they'd deem acceptable.

    A getScheme should return HTTPS if the client is using HTTPS or HTTP if it
    is using HTTP.
    The option for the plug-in to use HTTP or HTTPS when connecting to Weblogic
    is up to you but regardless the scheme of the client will be passed to
    WebLogic.
