Changing IP on 9iAS Portal

I have 9iAS Portal running with a 8.1.7.2 database. I logged in correctly using <servername>/pls/portal30.
I had to change the ip of the machine, and network settings (windows 2000 adv serv).
Now I can't access <servernane>/pls/portal30.
Where do I have to make the changes to get it to work again?

Nevermind.
My error: the network settings were set incorrectly and my dns suffix.
Now I have to figure out the LDAP server.

Do I need start the database before installing Oracle 9iAS portal?

I found the Oracle white paper which talks about installing
Oracle8i EE and Oracle 9iAS portal on windows 2000. Based this
document, after Oracle 8i installaion but before installing
Oracle 8.1.7.1.1 path, all the Oracle database related services
startup type have been changed to 'Manual'.
Based on my understanding, there are some objects will be
created in this database during the installation of 9iAS portal
repository. But this oracle white paper didn't say that I need
have the database ruuning during the 9iAS installation. Do I
need to start the database before installing 9iAS?
Thanks

hi,
Even i am new to oracle application server and had the same doubt that you have.
When you install Application Server there would be two tiers installed, application tier and middle tier, these tiers can be running from the same machine or different machines.
These tiers will have a meta data repository to store application server related data, this database will be installed along with application server.
It is upto you to install "oracle database 10gR2 " before or after installaion of application server, this will be an independent database which will have its own home, but after this installation you will have three homes, ex: infra_home,mid_home and 10gR2_home.
by default oracle_home is set to the last installation that happens so if you install the database 10gR2 after installing application server it will point to 10gR2_home, but if you install 10gR2 before and application server later then the oracle home will be infra_home(if both the middle tier and infratier are on the same machine)
you can always change the oracle home by using set ORACLE_HOME=path/to/oracle/home( in windows)
or export ORACLE_HOME=path/to/oracle/home (in unix)
hope this helps....

How to reuse a 9iAS Portal database connection in a BC4J application?

Hi,
I have a 9iAS Portal 9.0.2 application, and I want to call a BC4J/UIX application from the Portal application. Ideally I would like to reuse the database connection already established within Portal, because it has authenticated the user with the SSO, and has all of the Portal and VPD settings already in the environment. I don't want to ask the users to re-log in.
I have looked at the Portal Java PDK and cannot find anything appropriate - has anyone accomplished this, or is there another way of doing this?
Thanks,
Steve

BC4J supports JAAS authentication.. look at the jazn stuff. When u deploy your application on 9ias one of the pages in the wizard asks what kind of authenticatoin you would like to use, you might be able to set something up there...
Also you an secure the URL in the httpd.conf file so that if a user directly attemps to access that application they are presented with the SSO log in screen.

Richard,
You'll need to have 1.0.2.2 to be installed on the middle tier before performing the upgrade for your portal 3.0.9 upgrade repository on the database end. So that means, you'll need to wait for the Linux download of iAS 1.0.2.2 to be available before beginning your upgrade of the portal repository, assuming that your middle tier of iAS is also on a Linux box.
iAS 1.0.2.2 does indeed include Portal 3.0.9, of which Portal 3.0.9 components will be installed during the upgrade process along with the upgrade of the middle tier. During the upgrade process, the installer (from my personal experience on NT), will notify you that it is performing an upgrade installation of your middle tier, provided that you specified the middle tier's ORACLE_HOME when executing the oracle installer.
Just be sure to read and follow the 9iAS Migration guide before beginning your upgrade of the middle tier to iAS 1.0.2.2. After upgrading the middle tier to 1.0.2.2, the actual upgrade of the portal repository was extremely simple by comparison.
The upgrade of the portal repository took a few hours (my recommendation is to invoke it off before leaving for the evening), and it will leave a detailed logfile for you to peruse afterwards, if you choose).

Harry

Change HOME page in portal

hello forum,
Here is quite a newbe question I suppose..
Is there a fairly easy method to change the content of the iViews on the HOME page in the portal?
We wish only to change the text in the 'SAP Enterprise Portal' iView (com.sap.portal.welcome.iView) in the 'Portal Information' page. I already copied the original page and iView to a separate folder.
Since we only need to show a simple text on this page, I think there is no need to develop a completely new iView, but instead want to change the existing iView (at least a copy of it).
Thanks!
Walter

Hello M Peter,
I was able to download the com.sap.portal.ivs.iviewservice.par.bak from the PCD; I imported it in NDS by means of 'import Portal Application Project from PAR file'; I was then able to see the contents of this file and make changes to the welcome.properties file in dist/PORTAL-INF/private/classes/. After changing the text for the 'WELCOME' field I used Create/Export PAR file to upload the changes back to the portal. One restart later leaves me with the following error after logon:
Error occurred while trying to access desktop: "portal_content/every_user/general/defaultDesktop". The object does not exist or you are not authorized to access it. If this problem persists, contact your system administrator.
I checked SAP note 869690 that describes this symptom; but I cannot request the default desktop by the stated URL. I created copies of the desktop and login pages in order to be able to change them, which might explain this behaviour.
Because the only change is in the com.sap.portal.ivs.iviewservice.par service; how can I replace this file? I tried opening the original .PAR file in NDS and exporting it to the portal; but this does not change anything.
This is a serious error; how can we restore original behaviour?
Regards,
Walter

Change URL of a portal

Hi,
I have create a portal page, which I would like to make available under a different URL.
In stead of http://sever:7778/pls/portal, I would like to use e.g. http://my_application.
How can I obtain this?

Hi
Which version of portal are you using ? if you are using Release 1, then you just have to run ssodatan script to change it in the portal and reconfigure your httpd.conf file.
If you are using Release 2, then this becomes a bit lengthy, run ptlasst script, reconfigure httpd.conf (to create virtual hosts) , reconfigure webcache and if you want to change the URL for SSO Server, then you have run some other scripts too for the SSO Server like ssocfg and all.

How to change branding image of Portal?

Hello All,
This topic may sound very common to you al but i have tried soem basic steps but no success so i am posting this thread.
I want to change branding image of portal log on page.
I have navigated to this path.
S:\usr\sap\EPD\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.security.core.admin\servlet_jsp\logon\root\layout
and replaced my image with existing one i mean i have removed the default image from this folder and pasted needed image.
Reatsrted server but no success.
What can i do for changes to take effect.
Thanks in advance
Vinit

Hi Vinit,
Try these options
The images on the logon screen are hosted in the web server area for your WebAS 6.40, you can change it in two ways:
Option 1:- Connect to to server where the Portal WebAS is running and go to:
(drive):\usr\sap\SID\JCNN\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.security.core.admin\servlet_jsp\logon\root\layout
There you will find the images used on logon screen, you can replace them for your company images, please take care with the width of the images, as usual, to make this change effective, you must restart the whole WebAS.
Note: each time you upgrade the WebAS (install a new SPS) these images willbe overwritten, so take it into account in order to replace it again after upgrade.
Option 2:
- Connect to the Portal's WebAS Visual Administrator
- Go to "Global Configuration" -> Server -> Services -> UME Provider
- look for following properties: ume.logon.branding_image and ume.logon.branding_text
- Change the image location for the desired one, but be sure the new images are present on a web server location over the WebAS

Change Tracker implementation in portal

Hi,
while implementing change tracker in Portal , one important point to be notted is to assign the below mention UME action to the roles created. Otherwise you will get MDM authorization error.
UME Action are as follows:
tcmdmchangetrackersecurity-> MDM_CHANGE_TRACKER

To change the client in Portal:
1. UME connects to you have to start the configtool found at \usr\sap\<SID>\<Instance>\j2ee\configtool\configtool.bat or .sh depending on your OS.
2. When prompted for DB connection says yes. After that use the last button on the menu which says "switch to configuration editor mode" in it's tooltip. You will see a tree. Move the tree down to cluster_data -> server -> cfg -> services -> Propertysheet com.sap.security.core.ume.service.
3. Open that one in editing mode by pressing the button with the pencil first and then doubleclick the entry u201CPropertysheet..." in the popup navigate to ume.r3.connection.master.client and change the value from 000 to whatever client you need it to connect to.
4. Restart the server.
5. The same thing can be done from the Admin tool but then the Server needs to be up and running. From configtool you only need to have the database running.

Capacity planning 9iAS/Portal and/or 9iAS

I've looked all over metalink and otn, and can't find any good info on capacity planning for 9iAS/Portal, or 9iAS in general. #CPU, RAM, etc.
This is the closest I've gotten so far:
http://technet.oracle.com/products/ias/install-faq.html
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/6iscalability.pdf
Does Oracle just refers customers to their www.oracle.com/consulting ($?) group for this information, or is it documented somewhere that customers can see?
I understand that for a complex large scale enterprise Portal deployment that it would be necessary to hire consultants for hardware sizing and architecture, but there have to be some free guidelines that would be useful for customers with smaller requirements?
Thanks,

This was posted the day prior to our offline discussion. Am still interested in continuing our conversation (via this forum if you'd prefer).
Have you had a chance to look at the cacheability report that I had sent to you?
Aside from server clock issue I'd like to know what etags are used and generated by the portal infrastructure.
This is an important issue for our globalization project.
Many thanks and hope you're traveling safe!

Is there a API to change user name in portal security realm

Our portal application requires the functionality to change user login name which
maps to the user_name in USER_SECURITY table.
The com.bea.p13n.usermgmt.UserManager does not offer a API to change user name, so
my code changed it directly in the USER_SECURITY table by JDBC.
My concern is : other tables in portal db may also has the user_name which are not
be changed correspondingly, this may cause problem which I don't see now (e.g. Entity
table has user_name also).
Question is: is there a safe way to change user_name consistantly in portal database?
like a API or do I have to do it myself. If it is the second case, what other tables
I need to change.
Thank you for all your input.
Ellen

I also have a similar ?, is changing user name a normal case scenario or a big problem in portal

9iAS Portal intsllation question

We are designing the technical architecture for a terabyte size data warehouse. We are proposing and end to end Oracle solution, uing 9iAS Portal for end user access to the warehouse star schema.
Is it required that portal schemas (portal, portal_sso) be installed in the same database as the data warehouse data? If not required, then is it recommended? What are the pros and cons of this approach?

No, it is not required to have the data in the same instance. The recommended approach depends on how you plan to expose the data through the portal. If you are planning on creating web providers/portlets that access and display the data, then it would be better to have the data in a different instance. If you are using Webview components and/or PL/SQL providers, separate instances would require the use of DBLinks which can be problematic from a performance perspective. In that case, it boils down to how much CPU you have on the warehouse instance. The portal requires a significant amount of CPU, so if the machine is already fairly loaded with warehouse activity then the distributed solution is likely to be better.

Install Oracle 9iAS - Portal & infrastructure

Hi,
I installed Oracle 9iAS Infrastructure in c:\OraHome. When I try to install Oracle 9iAS - Portal and Wireless in the next step, it seems not possible to install this product in the same Oracle home (c:\OraHome). Will this cause problems later ? Where can I find information which explains the general concept of 'homes'. If the products are in different homes can Portal and SSO service still draw information from the same database ?
Kind regards,
Rene Heuven
PCA Mobile

Oracle Application Server middle tiers (Portal for example) needs to exist in a separate Oracle Home from Identity Management or Metadata Repository. Please refer to the installation guide.
