Copy an Application in the same portal?

My application seelct data from tables in a specific schema. I want to create a demo, with the same forms, etc but with different tables (to allow me to change names, ids, etc). I recreated the tables as another user, but my LOVs all access the original. My plan is to recreate the application on the same portal server.
When I tried to use appexp and appimp (CHECK) with a different app, eveything has the same portal IDs, so errors out with ID nnnn already exits. Is there a way to copy an app?
Gary

Hi Andrew
Try the following:
Use export / import instead of the copy function.
Between the two steps edit the export script by replacing all appearances of "old_schema" by "new_schema".
Note: Editing the export script is a efficient way to make some changes. We use this step e.g. to replace the public templates when moving applications from the test to the production environment in order to respect the changed navigation logic.

SSO for various applications within the same portal

Is it possible to implement SSO at the application level in an EP 7.0 environment?
Ex: One Portal with ESS and BI Functionality (BI is connected to the BI backend, ESS is connected to the ECC backend, but all of it exists within the same portal instance) in which the BI Explorer would rely on SSO, while the ESS would require a logon to the portal. The initial page of the portal would not be a logon screen, but rather a menu screen
Does this functionality exist?

For our purposes, ESS would have to be authenticated (perferably through Active Directory), while BI Explorer wouldn't require "visible" authentication, BUT the question would be, could all of this exist on the same portal..
I agree that it certainly wouldn't be user friendly to ask users to logon (using AD l/p) for certain parts but not others. I think the solution would simply to have 2 portal instances (ESS/ECC = Logon/Password, BI Portal = SSO), and to federate the BI to the ECC Portal. That way, if someone wanted to work in BI and only BI, they could go without logging on, but if they wanted to go to the ESS Portal they would have to logon BUT would be able to use both ESS and BI.
This all stems from an effort to eliminate the neccessity of having to logon to a portal (for a small group of managers), but still maintaining a level of security for ALL users in regards to employee self-service

Multiple applications running on the same portal server

Environment : EP 7.0 SPS12
We have multiple portal applications running on the same portal with different login page for each application. On one of our employee portal, we want to put a login page link for another portal application running on the same portal which requires a different user ID and password to access that application.
The problem we are encountering is, the login page link we put in our employee portal is bypassing the login page for the other application and using the same session as the employee portal. What can I do to make sure application login page show up when accessing the link from employee portal?
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
thanks for the clarification. I think I do understand now and the only thing I can think of is to delete the session cookie.
The problem with that is that you would not be able to use "simple" links (e.g. you could not just call the URL of the other application, but you would have to create some application (a simply JSP would probably be fine) that deletes the cookie and redirects you to the new application.
An other option would be to create DNS aliases that so that the session cookie is not sent (but depending on your setup this might have other drawbacks). Since the cookies are not valid for the other domains you would always start with a new login when you access a new application (e.g. the employee portal has the url portal.employee.company.com and the customer portal has portal.cutomer.company.com. Then (if the settings for ume.logon.security.relax_domain.level,see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/5e/473d4124b08739e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm is correct)
Hope this helps,

Multiple layouts for the same user in the same portal

Hello.
I have a challenge.
Currently there is a portal (6.40) running as a frontend for an application. So the portal is used for only this purpose. The content is a changed masthead and a number of WebDynpros and UWL's all accessing the same backend.
Now there is a wish to use the same portal to execute a transaction iView for the same backend. Simple. BUT when a user uses the portal for the product he/she shall not see the transaction iView and also when the user sees the transaction iView, the WDs and UWL's should not be shown in the navigation. And also the masthead should be different on the two views.
Putting in another portal is not anoption, this should be done on the same portal. The way I expect it to work is by accessing the same portal og two different URL's.
Companies cannot be used since some of the users should be able to access poth views.
I know that in a prefect world it would simply be a matter of creating two different roles and assign them as needed and if the user has both roles hen they would both be available in the navigation. But to the user the portal should look like different portals.
Any suggestions on how to achieve this functionality?
Br,
Thomas Mouritsen

Hi Thomas,
you have several options with the portal standard:
1.) If the user only has one role assigned at a time you can attach the portal layout to the roles. So depending on the role the user has he sees the respective layout - BUT: how to asign the two roles to the user!? This can only be done by admins and I assume that it is no intended to call the admins every time the user needs the other role?
2.) The entry to the portal is realized with different urls like http://yourportal.com/VIEW1 and http://yourportal.com/VIEW2.
VIEW1 and VIEW2 are so called portal aliases and you can attach the different layouts to those aliases.
BUT: the two roles have nothing to do with the aliases so you still have the problem of role assignment.
3.) Each person gets two users with each user assigned to one role and one layout assigned to the user or group or role...
Anyhow: I would ask the people who brought up the idea of two different layouts - WHY?? A portal is ONE single point of entry for EVERY application and information a user needs. So why two different layouts? And what, if five others are coming each bringing their own layouts, too?
4.) If you really want to have different layouts each time a different top-level navigation point is active you have to program your own portal component. That would fit your needs but is besides standard.

Michael

How can 2 people debug applications at the same time?

Hello,
We are using the NWDS to develop our portal applications.
When one developer debugs a certain program the second can't, he receives "Unable to connect to remote VM".
Is it possible to have 2 people debugging different applications at the same time?
Roy

Yes,
(but I usually define application server as a java server process, and server as physical server).
-go into configtool
-select one of the instances
-go to the Server menu and select Add server
Then you have a new server node. Select this one in the configtool and go to the servers debug tab. Set it to debugable and define a unique debug port (open command prompt and run netstat -an | find "LISTENING" to find out which ports are in use).

Separate CSS files for Differenct Applications in the Same Workspace

I am working in APEX 4.0, using Theme 4 (Topaz), primarily with the region template "Top Bar." The application I am working on has gotten so large that I decided to break it into two applications. So I copied the original application and then deleted the pages that I did not want in the second application. I then modified the authentication for a single login. One of the nice things about the Top Bar template is that you can color the background. I had a blue background in the first application and wanted to use a differenct color in the other. So I created a second CSS file and uploaded it to the Cascading Style Sheets area of the Shared Components file for the second application. Turns out that both it and the style sheet for the first application now show up in the CSS file area. The CSS file for the second application has no effect. Here is the CSS code:
.rc-content-main
background-color: #E5E5AA;
}I also tried giving the region on each page in the second application a static id and then identifying them in the CSS file by the id. That didn't work either, at least not yet. Sometimes it takes the server a while to refresh.
Question: For two applications in the same workspace, can there be separate CSS files? If so, how do I set them up so that each responds only to one of the applications?

Hello,
If you upload your file to Shared Components >> Cascading Style Sheetst then:
edit your page template in the header section and just before +*</head>*+ tag add :
<link rel="stylesheet" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#MY_FILE.css" type="text/css" />And that will be applied for all pages that have the same Page Template.
You can edit a page and put this in the header section to be applied only for a that page:
<style>
<link rel="stylesheet" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#MY_FILE.css" type="text/css" />
<style>If the file is on your web server then replace #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# with #IMAGE_PREFIX#

How to apply different styles to Portlets on the same Portal page?

How do you apply different styles to Portlets on the same Portal page?
I'm new to this kind of thing, but understand that something called "cascading style sheets" can help here?
What are these, how do you use them, and can you make different Portlets (all types - PL/SQL, Java, Applications, etc) on the same Portal page have different styles assigned?
Thanks!

Jeff,
Apply Oracle Portal styles at the region level. Your portlets within each region will inherit the style defined for the region.

Cisco Load balancer and Web Dispatcher to the same portal

Hello Experts,
We have implemented intranet portal with Cisco as the load balancer. Now we need to expose this intranet to the outside world as an extranet portal. So the same portal will be accessed from both intranet and from outside. We are thinking of installing a web dispatcher in the DMZ so that outside users can access the Web Dispatcher URL to access the intranet portal. In effect intranet users will use load balancer and extranet users will use Web Dispatcher to access the same portal. Now my question is if we configure Load Balancer and Web Dispatcher to the same portal, will the portal be able to load balance properly? Is this the right approach?
Thank You,
mansooralip1

Dear Andrew,
We need to provide access to our intranet to some outside companies for them to also use some of our portal applications. As per your answer, I understand that I can configure Web Disptacher to talk to the Cisco Load Balancer of our portal. In this case Web Dispatcher will work just as a reverse proxy. But when I discussed this with one of our basis resource, he told me that when we install and configure Web Dispatcher, it always ask for the Message Server URL and Port number, even if I just want to use Web Dispatcher as a Reverse Proxy. If his concerns are valid, I do not think I will be able to configure Web Dispatcher to access the cisco Load Balancer because I cannot put Cisco load banacer URL and port instead of the Message Server URL and Post Number. Can you kindly share your comment on the same?
Now the second part of my question, if Web Dispatcher cannot be configured to talk to Load Balancer(as mentioned by our basis resource), I will have to use two load balancers. One web Dispatcher in DMZ as a Load Balancer *** Reverse Proxy for the external users. Second the internal Cisco Load Balancer for the intranet users. So the same portal will be accessed by two load balancers. My question here is, in this set up, can the portal work efficieintly here by distributing equal loads two both the server instances?
Thank You,

How can i deploy two different versions of the same application on the same server??

I have two different versions of an application. One is a released version. And another version under development. I need to port this version of the application to the same server. I'm using the same classes and packages(except for some new ones). Is it sufficient if i change the name of my ear(application name). Or should i change my code also.

Hi
You can repackage the new versions of ear,jar and war with different names. I hope that should work well.

How can I test a RTP(send&receive) application on the same computer?

I an writing an application that lets one computer (A) sends a media file to another computer (B) and B receives it and play it.
But how can I test this application on the same computer
Eg.Transmitter: localhost 43000
Receiver: localhost 43000
It will retuen an error since the port number is alreeady used by another program.
I know if I test it on different computers, it should be fine, but how can I test it on the same computer?

JMStudio sends RTP packets from the same UDP port as the specified in the destination port, so you can't try it in the same computer. The examples provided in http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/index.html follow this rule aswell, but it's easy to modify it:
rtpMgrs[streamid]=RTPManager.newInstance();
localAddr = new SessionAddress( InetAddress.getLocalHost(),localDataPort);
//By deafault, in the examples, they use remote DataPort instead of localDataPort.
//You can specify localDataPort to any different free port number, or to
//SessionAddress.ANY_PORT if you don't mind the port number
remoteAddr = new SessionAddress(destIpAddr,remoteDataPort);
rtpMgrs[streamid].initialize(localAddr);
rtpMgrs[streamid].addTarget(remoteAddr);

How to open multiple applications at the same time

I need to open several applications at the same time: Dreamweaver, BBEdit, and Acrobat. Is there a way to smooth this process, so pressing an icon in the dock will open them all for me?

You could create an applescript to do it.
tell application "Dreamweaver's Full Name"
activate
end tell
tell application "BBEdit's Full Name"
activate
end tell
tell application "Acrobat's Full Name"
activate
end tell
Replace the quoted text (leaving the quotes) with the full name of the application, and save the applescript as an application bundle, and put it in your dock.
NOTE: You may have to put the full path to the application for it to work (I.E. /Applications/Dreamweaver.app). If you do, encase the full path in quotes.
Good luck!

How do I create multiple catalogs in the same portal?

Hello,
I have 2 stores in different locations and they each have their own catalogs (similar
products) and inventory, but I want the user to be able to select the store in
which he wants to buy. Ex - It could be New York store or New Jersey store.
How can I create 2 or more catalogs and access them in the same Portal? What is
the differentiator?
Regards,
Shashi
Answer appreciated.

Shashi,
You need to read about configuring the Catalog services:
http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs40/catalog/index.htm
These docs have not yet been moved into the 7.0 doc set but also apply to
7.0.

Pass Username & Password to a Different Application in the Same Workspace

Can I pass the username and password from a main menu to open a different application in the same workspace. I'm trying to prevent the user from having to logon again. My main menu has links to different applications within the same work space.
Thank you

Anonymous - One way to do it (if you are using HTML DB's built-in session management) is to edit each application's authentication scheme and type in the same cookie name in the cookie name field (use any name you like). Another way is to use Single Sign-On.

MacBook Pro Freezes while using more than two applications at the same time

Over the last two weeks my MBP has been freezing every time i use two or more applications at the same time. For e.g. my whole system freezes from time to time when i use itunes and safari at the same time. This problem never existed before and has just started recently and is really annoying. What can i do to fix it?

Rather than re-installing Safari have you tried simply "Resetting" it (head to "Reset safari" under the "Safari" menu). It is possible that something in your user folder that supports Safari is really the cause of the problem. Re-installing Safari won't deal with this, but re-setting it can.
In fact the first thing you should try is simply choosing "Empty cache..". If your cache files are corrupted then this in itself could explain the behaviour.
If you choose to do the Reset first try it with just "Empty cache" and "remove all website icons" selected. This will reduce the amount that you will "lose" in the process. (Cookies, history, etc). Add in additional options if the first attempt doesn't fix it.
Cheers

Copy/Paste cells in the same table

How can I copy/paste rows inside the same table?
I tried with ITableModel, but its function CanPaste() returns me kFalse. And I tried with kTableCopyPasteCmdBoss/ITableCopyPasteCmdData, it crashed.
Thank you in advance,
David

You are correct, but this behavior has always amazed me. ID *never* inserts the correct amount of copied rows inbetween others -- rather, you have to count how much you are going to copy, then insert blanks, then paste, then double-check you didn't accidentally overwrite existing ones!
If you are writing a general plugin to handle tables, you might think about doing this automatically. I don't know, perhaps you can test how much rows are "in the copy buffer" at the time of pasting.
