Creating Custom Tables in the Portal Database

Is there a way to create custom tables in the portal database in EP6?
Thanks,
Melissa

Thanks for responding, Nick.
We want to be able to display informational messages on the logon page before the user logs in. Currently we make changes to several ASP files in EP5 to display the messages. We want to be able to give privileged users the ability to enter the message, enter start/end date, etc. We want to do this in EP6 as well.

Hw to find the tables in the Portal Database

Hello,
I'm new to this Portals. I would like to know where the database tables stored in Portal Database. We are using the Oracle as the database. Can you please tell me where can I view the database tables.
thnx in advance
cheers

Hi Murali,
they are stored in a database which has the same name as your instance, for example J2E. KMC tables (most of them - if not all - starting with "KMC_") are stored within the same database as the portal tables are (this wasn't the case for EP5 and EP6 SP2 on 6.20).
Anyhow, you shouldn't touch or trying to access these tables directly. Two reasons for this: (a) there are APIs for (almost) everything which can be accessed from the DB tables, even if sometimes not documented. Anyhow, the DB schema isn't documented, too, so you should choose the "upper layer"; (b) the DB schema is subject to change without notice (and this is also done regulary); whereas the released (=documented) APIs are stable and the non-released are at least quite stable, too.
Hope it helps

Is it possible to create a new table in the master database with SSMS ?

Hello ,
I have problems with this thread :
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/thread/5153c43b-7844-41c4-a414-d14730abe435/
If no user database has been created , in SSMS , we can see only the 5 system databases ( master, msdb , tempdb... ).
Logically , the user should connect automatically on the Master database ( if the user is the same as this used to install a new SQL Server instance, this user should be sysadmin that's to say he/she has all possible permissions and especially dbcreator ).
Is it true that it is impossible to create a new table on the master database ?
I have done many researches about this possibility , all I have found is the advice : don't touch to the master database. This database is used to store critical information about the instance and its user databases. Even in the last book of Kalen Delaney
about SQL Server 2012 Internals , I have found nothing clear about the creation of tables in this database ( and what about the other system databases ? I am excluding tempdb ).
If someone has an idea about this thread and my questions , I would be thankful for a reply on this thread or on the related thread in the SQL Server Express Forum ( with my poor written English , I am not sure to have poster in a correct and understandable
way ).
If you think that this thread is not in the good forum , a moderator of this forum can move this related thread ( I have not done the move as I am not sure which is the good forum Database Engine or Transact-SQL ... )
Thanks beforehand and have a nice day.
Mark Post as helpful if it provides any help.Otherwise,leave it as it is.

If you add the current user during the installation you can have it as system admin , or you can add him/her later on
in SQL Server. BTW regarding dbcreator I have wrote some blog , need to read... :-)
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/uri_dimant/archive/2010/09/02/be-careful-to-grant-dbcreator-server-role-to-the-user.aspx
You can (if you have needed permissions) to create objects in master database, usually I create objects for instance maintenance (like rebuild indexes...)

Moving the Portal Database

I have attempted to move the portal database onto another host machine. When I move the database and point the portal at the database everything seems to work fine except for the administration area of the portal. When I try to navigate to the administration area I get an error. Can anyone help with a resolution for this?

I did it a few times succesfull and this is (my) procedure:
1. stop the SAP system
2. detach th DB on the Source server
3. copy db+log files to the Target server
4. attach the db on the Target server
5. repair login/db user account following the steps:
- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274188
OR
- http://blog3.daqureshi.com/archive/2008/12/16/11.aspx
6. update/change the file usr\sap\<sid>\sys\profile\default.prf
7. start the configtool and within the keystore change the jdbc connection parameters so that it points to the new DB Server
8. save this action!!!!
9. exit and restart the configtool and look if its connecting to the new DB Server
10. exit the confconfigtool.
11. start your SAP System
Good Luck!

Update customizing table on the production

Hi all,
Ik maked a customizing table on the development environment.
Evert time i need to update the data of this table , then i have to do it on the development and then tranport it to the production via a transport request.
Is it possible to change this (setting) table in the production, without using the transporting request ?
I changed the properties of the table from C (Customizing)
to A ( Application table), but it doenst help.
Anyone have a suggestion ?
Thanks,

Goto Development system-> again change settings from C to A,use database utility ->activate and adjust database.
now delete table maintaince and re create table maintaince,now transport your request to production,it should be fine now.

I want to update the Custom table using the data available in ITAB.

Hi,
I want to updaste the Custom Table which is created by me (Ztable) using the data available in itab.(which i got from defferent standard tables)
I want to update the custom table using the itab data How is it possible?
Is any possible by using Modify ?
DPK.

example here
modifying datbase table useing internal table
advises before updating this datbase table plz lock that table to avoid incosistency
write the logic for modifying
Modify the database table as per new dunning procedure
MODIFY fkkvkp FROM TABLE lt_fkkvkp .
and finally unlock the table
example
*To lock table for further operations
constants: lc_tabname TYPE rstable-tabname VALUE 'FKKVKP' . "FKKVKP
CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_E_TABLE'
EXPORTING
tabname = lc_tabname
EXCEPTIONS
foreign_lock = 1
system_failure = 2
OTHERS = 3.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
To fetch all the contract accounts for customers of the segment
Households/SME.
PERFORM fetch_contract_accounts using lc_tabname .
ENDIF. " IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
*wrote the logic
Modify the database table as per new dunning procedure from internal table
MODIFY fkkvkp FROM TABLE lt_fkkvkp .
*unlock the tbale
CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_E_TABLE'
EXPORTING
TABNAME = uc_tabname .

A new application built on a schema not in the portal database

I want to create a new application using the create "new application" function of the "build" tab of Portal.
I want this application to use a schema not in the Portal Database. The schema the application has to use belongs to a different database residing on the same machine the Portal database resides.
But the Portal "Application Name and Schema" form does allow me to choose a schema outside the Oracle Portal database.
I run Oracle Portal Version: 3.0.7.6.2 on WNT.
Thank for any suggestion.

Maurizio
Carol's right. Create a schema in the local database then create a db link to the remote db connecting as that schema user (or some other of your choice). In my experience this has to be a public db link.
I run a portal application against a database on another sun box. There's some hassles, but it works ok mostly.
The db link connects as the user to the remote database and I grant privileges in the remote db to that db link user. I also have public synonyms in the portal database that point to the objects in the remote db. I have public synonyms in the remote database that sort out the schema of the objects required.
This sounds complicated and I've explained it in a rush, but if you sit down and work it through it's not so bad. You may find a better way, but after several trials I've got a setup that works.
Also, when I create a form I always refer only to the synonym - never to a schema.object. That way you can adjust the synonym easily without rewriting your report.
I always make reports from sql for the reason that you can change the sql, though I always refer to my synonym never to schema.object.
Session info doesn't travel well to the remote instance. I've had to build a work-around to get my table triggers in the remote instance to figure out who the portal user is because wwctx_api.get_user returns public.
I've been unable to directly call procedures in the remote database from portal components, but I've got around that by creating wrapper procedures in the local database.
It hasn't been a trivial exercise, but it does work.

Edited by: C@rlitos on Sep 30, 2009 6:14 PMHave you configured your Infra with a new hostname on a different port ?
Unless, you had installed your OAS with custom ports, and have not used the default ports for the components, your lsnr_token for the newurl has a problem. orasso and sso should be configured at 7777, and by default they configure at that port. That means that your newURL should be pointing to http://newurl.com:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login for the ls_login_url.
This might have happened due to some error in registering your portal with the SSO. Have you used custom ports for your installations?
Additionally, did you configure your newurl on port 80?

How to access the portal database ?

Hi ,
1. How to access the portal database from an abstract portal component program ?
2. How to insert data to the Table from the abstract portal component program ?
Please provide me some direction to proceed .
plz send me the steps how to access the Database using SQL.
Thanks

Edited by: Smita Mohanty on Nov 14, 2008 9:21 AM

Hi Smita,
In case your portal has MS SQL server as its databse, then I am giving the step by step directions to achieve 90% of what you wish to do. Rest 10% you can try on your own.
Go through my article given below:
[How to Create a Web Service using Enterprise JavaBeans|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/b00917dc-ead4-2910-3ebb-b0a63e49ef10]
First go through pages 1-12 which will help you to create user/table in MS SQL database as well as create a data source in Visual Admin. Page 19 will give you the code which you can use in your Portal component to access the tables you have created in your SQL database.
I hope your problem gets solved.
Bye

How to create many user in the same database

hi
my question is "How to create many user in the same database(application)?"
for example, i have students, teachers, and staffs user using my application.
i can create many users to use the same application right?, how ^^''' ???
(right now i can only create application and then it shows every data in my DB
but i want it to show only the data for the user who login to that application)
Thanks.
ps. i'm newbie, please help T^T

You need to create a user table within your application that maintains their privileges. If you have LDAP you could use this for authorisation otherwise the table would handle that as well (store passwords etc). Your reports etc would then be filtered on information from this table.
Check out some of the sample applications to see how authorisation and access is implemented (Online store is one). The how-to on the issue tracking system should also have some useful pointers.

How to Create a table in the middle of a transaction ?

This software was written for sql and has a number of temporary table calls within transactions. We cannot precreate the temporary tables as some of the columns vary.
So we create temp tables on the fly during the transaction, but the problem with that is that Oracle will commit your transaction at the point you create a temp table.
Here's the logic:
Begin Transaction
Do some inserts, updates and deletes (IUDs)
Create Global temp Table zx as select <some of those IUDs>
Do some more inserts, updates and deletes
Drop temp tables
If worked
Commit
else
Rollback entire transaction
This is what I've tried so far:
1. Run the create table on a different connection - has no visibility to the IUDs in the current transaction
2. Split the create table and insert (instead of using CREATE AS) statements - to allow just the create table to be on a different connection - its going to be too much work to rewrite all the statements
3. Create a permanent table instead of a temp table - same problem with committing data before the transaction has ended
4. Put the Create As in a stored proc with AUTONOMOUS TRANSACTION turned on - same problem it has no visibility to the current outer transaction

Thanks for coming on this thread
The tables are used throughout the product, for example to
(a) simplify complex queries, some too complex for oracle to process in one stmt
(b) sub selects which will be reused
(c) performance enhancements
(d) left joins to summary queries
We have 120 tables in our data model and there are many scenarios where temp tables are used. In sql server its not considered such a problem and programmers often create temp tables "on the fly".
In fact, when we ported to oracle a couple of years ago, we had to add more temp table creates because some of the queries were too complex for oracle.
It would be at least a months work to rewrite so temp tables are either not used or precreated, and we really have to go live with this build by the end of the week.
No doubt we will rewrite these parts of the product to cut out temp tables, or perhaps drop oracle as a supported database, but for the time being we have oracle customers waiting for other fixes so I must find a way of giving them this software without doing this huge rewrite

Do I need to skip the tables created using dbms_logstdby package to not making it part of SQL Apply ? I guess not since the table is not in primary database.

You can skip only on primary, your created schema on Standby is not in primary.
Then you must change Status of data guard to NONE. NONE is means is not any security on your data.
In Guard status NONE can change all schema data.
Please check link: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10700/manage_ls.htm#CHDGFGHG

SQL>It means when guard status is ALL then all of user created guarding.
When you changed status to STANDBY then Logical Standby guard only primary schema and created schema before change.
NONE is not guard any schema. it means you can delete standby schema data too.
