Collaboration Suite vs. Oracle Portal

Hi - I recently got tasked with implementing a document management system within a (to be developed) 10.1.4 portal.
I had originally thought of using Collaboration Suite, but due to cost concerns we may have to try to just use the Content Services packaged with Portal.
Can anyone give me some information as to what the differences are between the Collaboration Suite and the services that come packaged with Portal?
Thanks,
Withers

when your integration is for integrating standard applications such as EBusiness uite,Siebel,SAP,Fusion Apps etc.For those application either the standard PIPs are available or at least industry specific or application specific EBOs are delivered by Oracle,then you can go for AIA.
For small integrations SOA suite is sufficient.

Oracle Web Center Suite and Oracle Portal

1)What is Oracle Portal and why it is used?
2)What is Oracle Web Center Suite and why it is used?
3)What is the difference between Oracle Portal and Oracle Web Center Suite?

1) Oracle Portal is the Portal product that was deployed together with the application server before weblogic server. It is still used a lot for corporate intra and extranets. It is mosly used for intranets and extranets. When you bought the licence for the application server you automaticly had the licence for Oracle Portal. That's why it is so popular.
Oracle portal is not realy standard based. You mostly will create portlets with PL/SQL or PDK and not realy use the JSR168 standard.
No with Oracle Portal 11g you can consume JSR168 portlets using WSRP.
2) Oracle WebCenter suite is the next strategical choose of oracle in portal software. Webcenter is an enterprise 2.0 portal environment while oracle portal is more web 1.5 and has limited web 2.0 stuff. Oracle Portal comes with a complete UI for the user to use to create websites and groups but webcenter is more a framework to incoorporate enterprise 2.0 features into your own fusion web application. Webcenter suite comes with Webcenter spaces. THis is a complete UI to create collaborative websites.
Webcenter framework is a powerfull framework to create complete enterprise 2.0 sites.
3) The difference... Oracle Portal is an old product and will not be developt anymore. I've heard portal 11g will be the last version meaning support will stop at 2014. Webcenter is a new product to create state of the art enterprise 2.0 websites.
Oracle portals is not build on standard and is not realy standardbased meaning is you develop portlets for portal you will not be able to use them in other portals.
Webcenter on the other hand is completly standard based. It is JSR168 compliant and in the near future it will also support JSR286.
Oracle portal is PL/SQL based while webcenter is completly java based, based upon the ADF framework from oracle.
Because WebCenter is based upon the ADF framework you can use the complete ADF framework for your application. For example consuming webservices are very easy in webcenter. If you are using a service oriented architecture you will have lots and lots of work to integrate it with portal. With webcenter this is peace of cake.
Hope this helps you :)

Integrating Collaboration Suite, Oracle Portal and E-Business to SSO

Hello,
I am in the middle of integrating several Oracle applications and one non-Oracle application to an Identity Management fresh installation.
I found the procedure to integrate E-Business to SSO, with bi-directional provisioning, but I am stuck with the integration of the next applications, Oracle Collaboration Suite and Oracle Portal:
1. How to integrate them to my new SSO Server? is it enough with the ssoreg.sh script?
2. What happens to the users? do I have to manually import them into my new SSO/OID install?
3. What happens with new users? how do they get created? are they now created in the new SSO/OID server?
If someone has had any experience with this kind of tasks, I will really appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance.

You might ask this question in the Streams forum. You might ask it in the e-Business Suite forum. You might ask it at metalink. But asking it here is not likely to get you the definitive answer you need. I would make sure, before I made such a business decision, I heard it directly from Oracle Support Services.

Oracle Portal 11g, Oracle WebCenter Suite or Oracle WebLogic Portal ?

Witch of these technologies, Oracle Portal 11g,
Oracle WebCenter Suite or Oracle WebLogic Portal ?
is the future product of oracle ?
I am going to use portal but I don't know witch of these product is the correct one.
I need help to clarified it. As i am going to use portal I want to use the one that oracle intend to support

Hi Harish,
There are lot differences are available when you compare these three products, some them are
Oracle Web Center Suite
Comprises of various components such as Web Center Interaction,Oracle Entitlement Server,Oracle Personalization Server an Ensemble(for proxying content and mashups) and chat server,wiki server,blog server,forum etc are available with web center suite.The collaboration tools are out of the box,so you dont require to redevelop anything to enable collaboration for your site.Basically webcenter is more powerful when used to develop intranet sites rather than a website which requires less collaboration.
Oracle Portal 10g
Oracle Portal 10g is the primary oracle portal product before oracle bought BEA.The main difference is the architecture and framework,Oracle Portal uses sql/plsql intensively for processing the page as all their pages are developed from browser.Every thing you develop is streaming that is queried from DB in contrast with weblogic portal which has the feature of file based portal which is faster compared to the streaming(persistent desktops).The architecture is different compared to weblogic and webcenter.For ex:There are sql and pl/sql portlets which can be developed very faster which not there in the other two platforms.
Oracle Weblogic Portal 10.3
It is hot in the market right now and development is easier and architecture supports both file based and streaming,the primary features of all the portal product are more or less same but webcenter has more collaborative features.Weblogic portal is very stable as it is on WLS which is a stable weblogic server.
I prefer if you have any previous experience on any of these products then built on that one.Else start with weblogic portal which is easier to startwith compared to others.

Dinesh

Oracle Collaboration Suite in a box download file 3 is corrupt

Hi
I was just trying to download the "in a box" install for Collaboration suite and file:
win32_ocs_90411_singlebox_Disk3.zip
is not a valid archive. Can somebody please fix it and let me know when it is done as I am trying to do an evaluation of Oracle Files
Thanks for your help
Steve

Hello Silvia:
I know you can download the client tools on the Oracle site:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html
You need to register, but it's free though
Otherwise, if you licensed SAP with Oracle, on market place you'll get the Oracle DVD's. Inside those, run the Oracle Installer and instead of installing the DBMS, choose to install only client tools

How to put links to E-Business suite pages in Oracle Portal

Hi All,
I am looking to create an employee portal using Oracle Portal 11g. One of the requirements is to provide some summary information on, say benefits in the portal and provide a link to the detailed benefits page in e-business suite from there (portal is fully integrated with EBS in our case). Can someone with experience doing this put light on the following :
1. What is the simplest way to provide the links ?
2. Is there any way to make them migration proof ? for example : my link now points to the DEV environment and in the production, it should point to the PROD.

The installation has been done in three server as follow:
Server 1: Application Tier (OCS component such as mail, calendar , discussion , ...)
Server 2: Infrastructure (Oracle Single Sign on)
Server 3 : Infrastructure (Oracle Internet Directory)
Patch Information : Cumulative Patch 10.1.2.4 (Note: 406284.1) + Mandatory Patch after 10.1.2.4 ( Note:
423515.1) + Patch 10.1.0.5 on Infrastructure layer

Only restarting the servers cause the users can connect to OCS services again.
Any Idea will be appreciated.

Oracle 9i Collaboration suite works with Oracle10gAS?

I have already installed Oracle10gAS in my pc. Now I am trying to install oracle9i collaboration suite. While installation process I have to give the Oracle9iAS Single Sign-on host name and port. But when I gave the host and port of Oracle10gAS, It is showing error that the host and port are not correct. I have gone through the portlist.ini and other files, in all files the port and host name are the same that I have given. Can anyone say what is wrong in it or can you give some examples?
