Designing Portal using WLPS 3.1

Hello,
This might be very baseic question for some of you, but i am
struggling to get things at the right place.
My question is, I have a n application already developed and running using
Oracle database, now I want to use the same database and develop a Portal
using the WLPS portal framework. How can I do that. How can I use the tag
libraries to my advantage. Just for your information the application that
is already running is developed using EJBs and JSPs'.
Any suggestions are welcome

Hello Anshuman,
I can give you a few general suggestions. Perhaps some other people can
add to this.
My question is, I have a n application already developed and running using
Oracle database, now I want to use the same database and develop a Portal
using the WLPS portal framework. How can I do that.See "Changing from Cloudscape to Oracle" at
http://edocs.beasys.com/wlcs310/install/database.htm#1027634 . Basically, all
you have to do is run some of our SQL scripts that create the WLPS schema for
your Oracle user.
How can I use the tag
libraries to my advantage.I would recommend doing the WLPS tour at
http://edocs.beasys.com/wlcs310/p13ntour/index.htm and the tour of the JSP
templates at http://edocs.beasys.com/wlcs310/cstour/index.htm . If you want
to see the tags in action I would strongly recommend studying the JSP pages
used for the Acem exampleportal. You can see the source code at
<wlcs-install-dir>/server/public_html/portals/repository.
Just for your information the application that
is already running is developed using EJBs and JSPs'.Some of the advantages that you will get by using WLPS include user/group
management and user/group/session/request properties that can be used in rules
to select customized content from a content management system.

In hibernate.orgs resolution on the weblogic side is add weblogic-application.xml descriptor the following:
<prefer-application-packages>

which helps to this error but then you have to undeploy you application and restart the server before you can deploy the application again.
This slows down the development of applications and in addition of that when your environment has two portal applications it is impossible to deploy both applications in that environment.
Is there any solution for this kind of problems ? Or do we have wrong configuration or librarys in our environment ?

Error while saving a workflow via sharepoint designer: Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.

While saving a workflow using SharePoint designer on a SharePoint site, I get the following error:
Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.
Steps to recreate error:
Login to the WFE server hosting IIS and workflow manager, open SharePoint Designer 2013 and login to a SharePoint site.
Access the list using SharePoint Designer 2013, in the workflow section, click new workflow.
In the new workflow dialog, enter workflow details, click save (see screenshot below).
Error message is displayed as below:
After restarting SharePoint Designer, the saved workflow is not seen in the site/workflows or list/workflow section.
Workaround
When the above steps are repeated while accessing the site via SPD from any other box besides the WFE/Workflow manager host server, the error is not encountered and its possible to save/publish workflows.
Notes
Workflow Manager 1.0 is installed.
The site has been registered with Workflow manager using Register-SPWorkflowService
cmdlet.
Any clue on why is this happening?

Hi Vivek,
Please close your SharePoint Designer application, clear/delete the cached files and folders under the following directories from your server installed SharePoint Designer, then check results again.

How to Execute a Remote Procedure in Portal using Database Link

Hi,
I followed the instructions to create a Portal form for a remote procedure. But I am encountering the following error. Can someone advise what may be the cause?
Failed to execute - Missing string(create_package_body) language(us) domain (wwv) sub_domain (wwv_builder) (WWV-04300)
ORA-04020: deadlock detected while trying to lock object PUBLIC.PORTLET_SCHEMA (WWV-11230)
Failed to parse as PORTAL - (WWV-08300)
PURPOSE
How to execute a remote procedure in Portal using Database Link.
DESCRIPTION
This procedure assumes that you have two databases, one of which is remote, and Portal is configured in the other.
Remote Database A:
==================
1) Create a procedure as follows: Create or Replace PROCEDURE SCOTT.ADD_TWO_VALUES ( v_one IN NUMBER, v_two IN NUMBER, v_result OUT NUMBER) as begin v_result :=v_one+v_two; end; 2) Grant execute privileges to PUBLIC on the procedure.
Database B (where Portal is configured): ========================================
1) Create a public database link and choose to connect as a specific user (say SYSTEM). By default, in an Oracle 8i database, the "global_names" parameter in initSID.ora (or init.ora) file is set to "true". This Global Naming parameter enforces that a dblink has the same name as the database it connects to. Therefore, if the remote global database (A) name is "ora8.acme.com" then the database link should also be named as "ora8.acme.com".
2) Create a synonym for the procedure in Database A. Make sure you fully qualify the procedure name in the remote database (like SCOTT.ADD_TWO_VALUES).
3) Create a dynamic page to execute the procedure. The ORACLE tags in the dynamic page will look similar to the following: <ORACLE> DECLARE v_total NUMBER; BEGIN ADD_TWO_VALUES(:v_one,:v_two, v_total); htp.p('The total is => '); htp.p('<input type="TEXT" VALUE='||v_total||'>'); htp.para; htp.anchor('http://<machine.domain:port#>/pls/portal30/SCOTT.DYN_ADD_TWO_VALUES.show_parms', 'Re-Execute Procedure'); END; </ORACLE>
4) Portal does not have an option to create a form based on a synonym. Therefore, if you want to create a form instead of a dynamic page, create a wrapper procedure and then create a form based on this procedure. For example: Create or Replace PROCEDURE PORTAL30.ADD_TWO_VALUES_PR ( v_one IN NUMBER, v_two IN NUMBER, v_total OUT NUMBER) as begin add_two_values(v_one, v_two, v_total); end;
5) Grant execute privileges to PUBLIC on the procedure.

Server Side activties have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities.

Hello,
I have the following scenario for the installation of EPM 2013 environment:
1 Server running Windows 2008 R2 SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2
1 Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1, running Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise (Standard Initially installed and then migrated to the Enterprise in order to install Project Server 2013), Project Server 2013 and Workflow 1.0 (2013).
After configuring and validating the configuration of Workflow 1.0 by http://server_name.example.com:12291 page and also check the Application Services in Central Administration and receive the Workflow Status = Connected.
Alright, but when I run the SPD 2013 RTM to test the creation of Sharepoint Workflow 2013, I get the following warning:
"Server Side activties have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities."
I've tried:
a. Restart SPD2013;
b. Restart Server 2013 and Sharepoint Workflow 1.0;
c. Reinstall and reconfigure Workflow 1.0
And the message is always displayed, preventing the use of Workflow Sharepoint 2013.
Can anyone help me, I'm in the middle of a deployment to a customer.

How did you uninstalledLanguage Pack from SharePoint 2013 ? when I googled it I found that language pack cannot be uninstall@
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262108.aspx
"If you no longer have to support a language for which you have installed a language pack, you can remove the language pack by using the Control Panel. Removing a language pack removes the language-specific site
templates from the computer. All sites that were created that have those language-specific site templates will no longer work (the URL will produce a HTTP 500 - Internal server error page). Reinstalling the language pack will make the site functional again.
You cannot remove the language pack for the version of SharePoint 2013 that you have installed on the server. For example, if you are running the Japanese version of SharePoint 2013, you cannot uninstall the Japanese language support for SharePoint 2013."

It´s very simple to do that.
1.You must create repository. (I gave you this information).
2.Create portal users. (in portal or read from ldap)
3.Create KM navigation iview to point folders in your repository.
4.Create roles.
5.Assing roles to users.
For you that is new in this tools, perhaps needs 3 or 4 days.

Import of XML file failed in portal using XML Content and Action

Hi Friends,
I am trying to import the simple XML file which is just creating the folder in the PORTAL_CONTENT using XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS which is one way of creating the portal content. GO TO SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION > TRANSPORT > XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS > IMPORT.
The reason for using this import tool is to upload the backend Business roles, which is not not working on our corporate portal. To test the import functionality I used the following xml file (I got this XML file by exporting the test folder in the portal using the same tool)

Content Management using WLP Vs using a Third Party CM Tool

Hi All,
In our Application we have a Workflow which we earlier implemented using WLI and stored the Content in File System ( The Dis advantages with this is no versioning capability , hard to manage the Content etc..)
Now we are plannning to use WLP's Content Management Capabilities.
Does the Library Services support a workflow ?? Does Workflow Definitions conform to any standard ?? (Like BPEL etc)
The Content we have is a set of forms ( XML Based) and are unique for each user Task . Might be using the goal technology to capture the data from the Users..
I would like to know the pros and cons of using WLP Content Management Features vs Storing the Content in a Full fledged CM tool and accessing it from the Portlets Deployed.
Features we are looking for are..
Versioning , Search Capabilities , History info
Thanks

How do I create plan.xml for every env Im not sure what you mean. Use vi/notepad if you want! See the section 'Using an Existing Deployment Plan to Configure an Application' in the link. You simply need to create this plan once with the value you want and you can use the same one with a different path value(the one you want to change) for each environment. Whether you want to create a template plan.xml whose value is replaced by an ant build is upto you.
Plan.xml is similar to a WLST script, you'd only need to parameterise the actual value you want to use as the path(and you'd have to run both for every deployment) - Im not sure this value is accessible over WLST though..

Web interface displays via Portal using Mozilla or Firefox

We have several web interfaces (BW-BPS) and have created iViews on our Portal (EPP 6.0). These iViews properly execute in IE 6.0.
However, when we execute the BPS iViews using Mozilla or Firefox we see significant display discrepancies. For example, the web interface should display grid lines between the rows, but, we don't see them when running through the Portal using Mozilla or Firefox.
We thought that the Web interfaces themselves may be the issue but they properly execute when run straight from BW in Mozilla 1.7.13.
Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks,
Bill

Hello Bill,
first of all please check the Product Availability Matrix. Not all browser versions are supported. http://service.sap.com/pam
Some visual differences between the browsers can not be avoided since browsers just behave differently.
If the browser is supported and it does not work correctly, please open a customer message.

Running Discoverer reports into portal using SSO portal login - help

Hi,
I am trying to run disco reports into oracle portal using discoverer portlet providers -list of worksheet. What I want to achieve is as follows
1) login to portal using SSO userid /pwd - Done
2) Enable discoverer for SSO - Done
*3) Use discoverer list of worksheets to show reports into portal but want to filter the list of worksheet to currently logged in portal user. This so that users looged in only sees the reports to which they have access in discoverer - Need Help*
*4) Once user runs this report then I want to filter the discoverer data based on users login or portal group - Help*
Can someone please help with issue no 3/4 urgently.
Mant thanks
Ganesh

Hi Michael,
Assuming I have created the private connections using CAPI I still have my doubts as follows
Do I have to then login as each portal user and add the list of worksheet portlet for each user and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Considering we have 500+ users this will be huge cumbersom task for me.
Also when I tried to do this before loggin as each portal user when I logged in as second portal user I could see the list of worksheet portalet added by the first user which means I have to edit it but even that was not possible because it would not let me edit as only the page own whi created the portlet was allowed to edit (that is the first user)
OR
Do you have to give portal user permission to edit the page so that they can log on themselve to add the list of worksheet portlet on the page by selecting their private connection and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Finally I know someone has made it work using URL links and it works as follows
1) Map the portal and disco user into a table
2) Create disco private connections
3) when portal user loggs in and click on "Show my discoverer report" it then runs a PL/SQL package which in turn identifies the private connection details and creates a URL out of it as follows
[http://portal.ccm.ac.uk/discoverer/app/partialConnect?password=IRTIMUDV123_=qplus=VDUMITRI=browser_selected=connect=RELATIONAL=QPRIS=viewer]
clicking on this link open discoverer with private list of workbook/worksheet.
Please advise which way should I follow.
Thanks

Portal using Webdynpro for ABAP

Hi Gurus!
    I am using one portal using 'Webdynpro For ABAP'. It contains Contextual Panel as well as ViewUIContainer. Contextual Panel contains all the reqd options available for user; while ViewUIContainer contains diff views as requested.
   Now, I'm trying to make a copy of that Webdynpro with some other name. What happens is --
Application is not there and when I try to make one - it says
"Interface View Does Not Exists."
Further, when I try to make an Interface View with the new name - it says
"Interface View Does Not Exists."
   Therefore, what I could conclude about the case is -- may be Interface View is default to certain Webdynpro components/interface. Hence, my question is how can I make use of same webdynpro application with some other name. This requirement arises due to the fact that we have to add some more functionalities to that and I dont want to play with the efforts made so far.
