Configuring News Portlet

Hi
I have my Oracle 9ias Rel 2 with Infrastructure running on a Windows 2000 Server. i am trying to configure News Portlet(Downloaded from OTN), i already have my JPDK and Url services infrastructure installed on the machine.
Have made the entries in jserv.properties and Zone.properties as reffered in the README Doc available with this portlet's ZIP file , now the problem is, unlike other Portlets this doc doesnt tell me how to test the sample(using an url), instead the DOC has some HTTP link under the heading 'Moreover.com news feed links '
Can any one help me as to how to Register this provider, in that case what URL should i specify?
is there any way of testing any Sample for the news Portlet?
TIA
Bijesh

The registration process is simarly to any Web provider as shown below.
1. On the Build tab of the Portal Design-Time Pages root page, click on Register a Portlet Provider within the portlet called Provider.
2. Enter Provider information for the Sample.
1. Name: NewsPortlet
2. Display Name: News Portlet Portlet Samples
3. Timeout: 300
4. Timeout Message: News portlet Timed Out
5. Implementation Style: Web
6. URL:
1. http://myhost.com:port/servlet/newsportlet (if you're using Oracle9iAS Portal 3.0.9)
2. http://myhost.com:port/jpdk/providers/newsportlet (if you're using Oracle9iAS Portal 9.0.2)
7. Login Frequency: Never
3. Click Finish.

  • Create new portlet?

    On my development server, I was able to create a new portlet, which I configured to display the content from a .ASPX file. It displayed properly. Now, on my production server, I cannot create a blank portlet where I can edit the portlet to display the .ASPX file's content. Is there something I am missing here?
    My configuration is : Plumtree 5.0.3 with Collaboration Server 4.0, Content Server 5.0.4, WebLogic 8.1, with SQL Server 2000 (SP3) on Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition.
    Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    So you have an ASPX page all ready to go.  I assume you know the URL for the ASPX page.  Let's say its http://www.myserver.com/companyname/myapp/mypage.aspx.
    In the portal, you need to create three things to get this to work:
    1. Remote Server
    2. Web Service - Remote Portlet
    3. Portlet
    You then need to:
    4. Add the Portlet to a page
    1. Create a Remote Server
    Go into a folder in Administration, then choose "Create Object" - "Remote Server."
    Put http://www.myserver.com/companyname as the "Base URL".  Click "Finish", give it a name, such as "MyCompany Remote Server."
    2. Create a Web Service - Remote Portlet
    Still in Administration, choose "Create Object" - "Web Service - Remote Portlet."  Click the Browse button and find the Remote Server you just created (you did give it a descriptive name, didn't you?).  In the "Portlet URL" box, fill out the rest of the URL to the ASPX page.  In our example, it would be "myapp/mypage.aspx" (without the quotation marks).  For now, that should be enough.  If you want to add preferences or help pages or other things to your portlet, you can set more stuff inside here.  Click "Finish" and give the Web Service a Name, such as "MyApp Web Service."
    3. Create a Portlet
    Still in Administration, choose "Create Object" - "Portlet."  Choose the Web Service you just created, decide whether the portlet should be a "Narrow" or a "Wide" portlet (Narrow portlets can be placed on Wide columns on a page, but Wide portlets cannot be placed on narrow columns on a page).  Click "Finish" and give the Portlet a name, such as "MyApp Portlet."
    4. Add the Portlet to a Page
    At this point you have created the portlet.  The next thing you will want to do is to view it.  To do this, you have to add it to a page - either a MyPage or a Community Page.  Let's put it on your MyPage.  Click on "My Pages" in the top-left corner of the browser and go to one of your My Pages.  Click the "My Pages" tab again, and this time choose "Add Portlets."  Find the Portlet you just made, check the checkbox next to it's name, and click "Finish."  You should now see the ASPX page in your MyPage.
    That's all there is to it.  You can get fancy and do all sorts of extra stuff inside the Web Service, but if all you want to do is display a ASPX page (or for that matter, any URL that returns HTML content), this is all you have to do.

  • Configure This Portlet 'Edit' button pop up shows error

    When I try to create a new portlet based on the 'Header' portlet by opening the Portlet Configuration Wizard and choosing the 'Header' portlet from the 'Published Content Portlets' 'en' folder, that works fine. But then once the pop up closes and the parent browser changes to the 'Create Portlet' screen, I click on the 'Edit' button next to 'Configure This Portlet', and the pop up shows me the following error in plain text:
    "Unable to locate the configuration for the portlet template from which the portlet was created. Portlet template folder may have been deleted."
    I noticed I have a file called published-content-portlets.zip in the C:\Program Files\plumtree\ptcs\6.2\settings\migration folder. Was I supposed to unzip this somewhere? I did the import server package when I installed publisher and I'm sure that worked great - else I wouldn't be seeing my Publisher admin folder w/ all the goodies in it. Thoughts or help?

    i have same problem i wrote other newsgroup but no any reply.
    mine is publisher 6.4
    and i found that it cann not migrate the all object from
    published-content-portlets.zip
    Becuase when check from log it says
    unable to import files from folder ........
    any suggestion.

  • Create a new portlet  in Deployed Portal in production environment

    are there any ways to import or create a new portlet in Deployed Portal in production environment?
    Edited by: user8322798 on May 1, 2011 7:26 AM

    This can done via WSRP proxy portlets and streaming desktops. First, you'll need to have a WSRP producer setup somewhere. This could be another WLP webapp with portlets, or another server altogether. Or, you can use the JSR 286 WSRP import tool from within the Portal Administration Console (I think it's under Services | WSRP | Import Tool) -- this will allow you upload .war(s) of JSR 168 or 286 portlets, which will be turned into WSRP producer(s).
    Then, you can use the Portal Administration Console to register a WSRP Producer, and then add portlets from the producer to your desktop (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15919_01/wlp.1032/e14235/chap_fed_books_pages.htm#FPGWP690). Additionally, once the producer has been registered in Portal Adminstration Console, an adminstrator user can use the Dynamic Visitor Tools from within the streaming desktop itself to add wsrp proxy portlets to the desktop (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15919_01/wlp.1032/e14243/dvt.htm#PDGWP691).
    It is not possible to add new local .portlet files to a deployed application in production mode. This requires adding the file artifacts to the .ear/.war and redeploy the application.

  • How we can configure new pricing procedure at the time of billing document

    Hi SD Gurus,
    Can u plz tell me how we can configure new pricing procedure at the time of billing document level.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sreenivas.P

    Hello,
    Why?
    The sales order confirms the price given to the customer.  If you have re-determined a new price/discount then you may consider in VTFL to use pricing type C.

  • Register a new portlet using API ?

    I have problems registering af new Portlet using the portal UI, and are looking at ways of doing this programatically using the API's (wwpro_api_provider or other).
    I have only found API functions for registering the Provider, not the individual portlets.
    Have anybody found ways of doing this ?
    Best regards
    Martin Nielsen

    Martin,
    If you are really developing your provider, ie, adding more portlets to it, please make sure you Refresh the provider in the Navigator page - Provider tab - over the link "Refresh". This will read the provider.xml file again. This is a good thing that you'd like to do it while you are developing your site (as the information in the provider.xml changes a lot).
    Like Harsha said... you cannot register individual portlets.
    I hope it helps...
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Publisher News Portlet Not Working

    Hi,
    We use Publisher 6.5 with Oracle WCI 10gR3 portal. We have a News Portlet in our home page which has suddenly stopped displaying any content. It has a huge number of news articles, i.e. around 250 Plus articles.
    We found a setting in the DET relating to max items which was set to 200, we increased it to 400, and published the whole folder, but things still did not work out.
    If we try to preview the portlet while adding to another page, we are able to see the content, but once the portlet gets added, nothing displays once again. Also in Publisher Explorer, the content item attached to the News portlet is not getting displayed if we click Preview. We get an error message "Error - Requested resource is currently unavailable. Request to the remote server has timed out. Try again later or contact your portal administrator.
    Gateway was not able to access requested content. If the error persists, contact your portal administrator. "
    Please can anyone help as this is an urgent issue

    First you should contact Oracle Support and get this set as a priority one issue and escalate it so that you get the fastest possible response.
    It sounds to me like you've blown away your index.
    I'd check the following:
    1)
    go into your publisher directory <portal home>/ptcs/publishedcontent/publish/<path to your content>
    Verify that the content is actually still there (actual html files of each of your news articles).
    2)
    go into publisher explorer and check your articles folder (in the appropriate area) and verify that your content is still there.
    3)
    Within the problematic folder, open the Content Item Index - this will contain all of the items that you've posted to your announcement portlet.
    If someone checked-out this file and then did an "undo-checkout" I believe it blows away all changes since the last "check-in" which typically is nothing, and blows away all your content - which would cause precisely the problem you are seeing.

  • Content Server News Portlet major design flaw ?!

    I ran into a Content Server 6.1 issue which is really frustrating me. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if it is a design flaw: 1. I created a content server news portlet "out of the box" and added it to my MyPage.2. I created and published 2 news articles.3. I edited the 1st article and just saved it. I did NOT PUBLISH it.4. I edited the 2nd article and PUBLISHED it. The news index is re-published automatically to reflect the changes of the 2nd article which has been published. But the index now displays the changes of BOTH articles, even the unpublished! Furthermore the 1st article can't be opened from the index anymore if the name property has been changed. As the published file name changes with each version and especially when the name is updated, the news index links to the new published file name - but it has never been created as I didn't publish the 1st article! I understand why this is happening: The index content item holds a list of all article content items and is published whenever an article is published / deleted / expired. But until now I thought that content server is holding the last published version and includes this into the list until a new version is published. That's not the case! Imagine this on a production environment with workflow activated: one article was approved and published while the other still needs to be reviewed, but it's (unreviewed) index data like headline etc. is already displayed in the index?! And in worst case the article can't even be opened. You just get the server error "page not found". Many of my content items for a current big project follow the idea of the news template, e.g. HR Staff Overview (persons = articles, overview = index), so I am kind of stressed by what I found out. Has anybody made similar a experience and found a workaround for this? Perhaps one of the support people could explain how the news portlet is intended to be used with this severe behaviour? Am I expecting too much? Is updating an already published article not possible? But why are version mechanisms included for content items then? I appreciate your comments. Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    We are using Content Server 6.1 with all Hotfixes installed and we are not planning to upgrade to G6 at the moment.
    As far as I understood the 'filtered.published' property contains the date the content item was published the last time. So it will always be 'true' if the item has been published in the past, no matter if it's currently published or not.
    The index template with the code snippet you sent will display the currently not published (but changed) item properties whenever another item was published. Have you changed the design in 6.2 so that properties of an item in a list property of another item are just copied and not linked?
    As a workaround I now compare the 'modified' property with the 'published' property and if it is greater or equal I don't display it in the index. But that's not the way Content Server was designed to behave, is it? With this solution I can suppress the item in the list if it has been modified after the last publishing, but of course I rather want to have the data of the last published version.
    Isn't that possible? Is it possible in 6.2? Is there any way to update Content Server to 6.2 without acquiring G6?

    how to configure new account assignmnet group of material
    Probably, the question should have been how to create Account Assignment Group for a material.
    Go to IMG SD => Basic Functions => Account Assignment/Costing => Revenue Account Determination => Check Master Data Relevant for Account Asignment.
    There select Materials : Account Assignment Groups and create as per the requirement and save.  Now you can see the same while creating the material master.

  • New portlets not showing up in portlet repository

    I have created a couple URL based portlets and registered the provider with my portal. When I go to the portlet repository to add the new portlets to a page, they do not show up. If I go the Providers Tab on the Portal Navigator Page, I can see them.
    I suspect this has something to do with my coworker trying to get the Web Cache working though he can't tell me why my portlets aren't showing up.
    Any one have any ideas?

    Web Cache shouldn't impact this (but I'm not saying that it isn't ;-)
    Try the following:
    1) refresh the portlet repository by clicking the "refresh" button in the provider registration page
    2) check the security settings on the portlets - portlets will not be displayed if either the portal security (applied via the portlet repository) or portlet security (applied by adding a SecurityManager to a portlet) denies access
