Discoverer and WebCenter

Hi all
I would like to know how is possible to integrate Discoverer portlets with WebCenter 3.0 with full functionality. I have been doing some tests taking Discoverer portlet provider, registering those portlets and displaying them on WebCenter, but they seem stalled, like pictures, with no further functionality like in OAS.
Hope you can help me soon.
Best regards!

Hi,
Webcenter supports Portal Development Kit (PDK) portlets which is currently how Discoverer 11g publishes portlets; therefore, you should be able to deploy native Discoverer 11g portlets in Webcenter.
Oracle® Fusion Middleware Guide to Publishing Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Portlets11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/bi.1111/b40110/webcenter.htm#sthref95
Per the Discoverer Statement of Direction on OTN, JSR-168 Discoverer portlets are a planned 11g enhancement.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/discoverer/overview/discoverer-sod-jan2009-132849.pdf
For Discoverer 11g, WebLogic server is the default application server for the java bits, Oracle HTTP Server is the default web server.
Hope that helps.

Steve

Differance between Discoverer and BI Discoverer

hi guyz ,am new to ebs and discoverer,one question always bother me what is differance in discoverer and BI Discoverer,according to my understanding discoverer is separate tool where we develop report then link it to BI and BI Discoverer is EBS builtin tool.if am right so what both r oracle product ,if it's also true why we need both ,why not single is enough.thanx

Hi,
There is no difference. Discoverer is shipped with eBS but it is the same tool (though an older version) as the standalone Discoverer. eBS is also shipped with an predefined EUL and some reports which are integrated into some of the eBS menus. You can write your own reports and create your EUL and add the reports to the menus.
There are 4 Discoverer tools. Discoverer Plus, a web based report writing tool. Discoverer Viewer a web based report viewing tool. Discoverer Desktop, a windows based report writing tool and Discoverer Administrator used for managing the EUL.
You need all these tools to use Discoverer with eBS and they should be downloaded separately from eBS to ensure you have the latest versions.

How to Run both UCM Server and Webcenter Portal Services on single Weblogic

Hi,
First i have installed Oracle UCM and configure it on Weblogic Server successfully. But after the installation of Webcenter Portal on same machine and Weblogic Server. UCM Server is not running it shows Forcefully shutting down error. Kindly help me i want to run both UCM and Webcenter Portal Servers on one Weblogic server.

Hi Shaeer,
Make sure that you dont have same port numbers on both servers.
If it then try to avoid them.
Secondly also check nodemanager log server log to verify why it went to shutdown mode.

Oracle UCM 10gr3 and webcenter 11g, WCM Portlets

Hi,
I have installed Oracle UCM 10gR3, Site Studio 10gR4 and Webcenter 11g. Now my problem is how to get the WYSIWIG (WCM Portlet) created in UCM to be retrieved in webcenter spaces.
My understanding after reading some articles is the only way i can communicate is through WSRP (CIS and CPS), if that is the case can u suggest what is the difference between them and which one is best one for a Intranet Application. Please also provide the example for the portlet and the steps to install them locally.
i not asking to give all the answers at a time. Just share bit by bit even if u have some knowledge.
Thanks,
Pradeep.
I am a Newbie!!!

Hey Pradeep,
You have lots of options for retrieving content from UCM in WebCenter besides CIS and by extension CPS. The best article on the subject can be found here (if you haven't already read it): http://blogs.oracle.com/fusionecm/2010/04/oracle_ucm_integration_with_we.html
To more directly answer your questions the difference between CIS and CPS is that CIS is the lower level API that actually does the communication with UCM. It serializes your request across the socket and handles the response data that comes back packaging it up as easy to use objects. CPS leverages CIS as its backend to allow the portlets to communicate with UCM.
For an intranet application you have lots of options. For document management I would recommend a combination of the Document Library taskflow along with a couple of the CPS portlets (my workflow assignments, etc). To retrieve content to display as part of an intranet "site" I would leverage the Content Presenter taskflow.
If the content to be retrieved is Site Studio 10gr4 assets I would instead recommend that you roll your own simple content portlets. That is what we ended up doing at Fishbowl and have reused them to great affect implementing several intranet portals for different customers in a very short amount of time. More info here: http://www.fishbowlsolutions.com/StellentSolutions/OracleUCMStellentConsultingServices/Categories/OracleUCMStellentPortalTechnologies/index.htm

The big picture for UCM and WebCenter

Can someone explain how our UCM product fits with Oracle's WebCenter? Can it replace Site Studio? Is anyone experimenting with this or can point me in the direction of connecting the Web Center product to the UCM product (10g or 11g)?
In the Oracle WebCenter - Statement of Direction
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/pdf/owcs_r11_sod.pdf
I read the following that implies WebCenter can connect to UCM.
Embed Web 2.0 into applications – WebCenter Services
WebCenter Services include a complete set of Web 2.0 content, search, collaboration, and communication services that can be embedded directly into applications built with the WebCenter Framework. The level of integration is unique and compelling and allows the services to be accessible in the context of the task or business flow. These services include:
A content management solution for storing and managing files and documents (Oracle Content Database or, as an additional license option, Oracle Universal Content Management – that is, Stellent)
But I don't really know what that means to me or how to get started.
Thanks.

Wll, it's quiet easy. Webcenter is designed to handle services. UCM is also complettly service oriented so you could create a webapplication with webcenter where you define services from UCM and create your own user interface.
It's nothing more than the fact that webcenter can handle services (WSDL, SOAP).
You could create a site without siteStudio, using webcenter. Nothing wrong with that but don't forget that siteStudio has lots of tools that are great for UCM like the contributor mode. Also, the fragments that are allready build in in siteStudio give a big advantage. If you want to create these things in zebcenter, you'll have to start from scratch.
I do believe Oracle is working on an portal like interface to create portlets and stuff, perhaps they will create some tools special for the use of UCM and webcenter. This offcourse would be very nice

I have more then half decent results with webcache as load balancer, but it still is a round robin (as mentioned before). This means that a session will not be transfered from one application server to the other once the session has been created.
So far I did not discover any benefits of a hardware loadbalancer over webcache, because (here it is again:) you are not able to transfer open sessions from one application server to the next. This has to do with the Oracle Forms architecture. In fact it is still client-server, only with the application server functioning as extra server ;)

Apps 11i, Discoverer, and Security

Just an FYI for those out who are having problems picking up Apps Security when trying to implement Oracle Discoverer on top of Apps 11i. We have struggled over the past six weeks to have Discoverer pick up Apps Security and have finally found a combination that works. If anyone else is having a similar problem and would like the details of our configuration, please e-mail me at [email protected]

Hi,
If you have an issue with Discoverer and security, your best option is to post a question in the Discoverer forum (Discoverer

Portal integration with OFA,OSA, Discoverer and Express

Dear All,
Is it possible to integrate OFA,OSA, Discoverer and Express into portlet or is there any other mechanism to fulfill those requirements?
null

David,
All the tools you mention can be integrated into Oracle9iAS Portal as portlets usind the Portal Development Kit. Check out the Oracle Portal Development Kit (PDK) forum for more information on how to do this.
The Discoverer team is working on some Discoverer portlets that should be available with Oracle9iAS Release 2 due later this year. I am not sure about OFA, OSA and Express.

Session variable filters in the integration between OBIEE and webcenter

Hello All,
I have a customer with the requirement to make sure that reports created in answers and containing sessions variables in filters definition will be correctly filtered once called from webcenter.
So if an OBI report is diplayed in webcenter and contains the same type of filters (based on session variable), will the results be filtered based on the specified variable?
In other words can we use session variables in the integration between OBIEE and webcenter?
Thanks Olayinka

ADF and WebCenter 11g libraries upgrade paths for WLS 12.1.3

We want to upgrade one of our WLS from 10.3.6 to 12.1.3.
(1) The application hosted on this instance uses the following ADF and WebCenter libraries (also deployed on the same WLS). Please confirm if these can be deployed in WLS12c without any changes or if we need to check on an upgrade path to ADF or Webcenter 12c components as well:
adf.oracle.businesseditor(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
adf.oracle.domain(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
adf.oracle.domain.webapp(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.dconfigbeans(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.desktopintegration(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.desktopintegration.model(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.management(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.model.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.view.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.webcenter.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.composer(11.1.1,0.1)
oracle.bi.jbips(11.1.1,0.1)
oracle.bpm.mgmt(11.1.1,11.1.1)
oracle.webcenter.composer(11.1.1,11.1.1)
oracle.webcenter.skin(11.1.1,11.1.1)
oracle.wsm.seedpolicies(11.1.1,11.1.1)
orai18n-adf(11,11.1.1.1.0)
(There are other libraries too but not anything related to ADF or Webcenter)
(2) We also have EM extension template in WLS 10.3.6. How can we upgrade this? Do we need to delete this and install FMW infra 12c with the additional DB schema and then try to extend the 12c domain?

Moved your thread to the WLS Communities since you are not asking if products are certified.
Thanks,
Lisa Fedynich

OES and WebCenter Integration And PEP API Issues

Hi All,
Currently we want to develop a WebCenter app which will check Authentication Policy in Oracle Entitlement Server using PEP API.
We encountered some issues, and have following questions:
1. According to PEP sample API, seems the PEP client application could only connect to the OES which is deployed on the same container context (same WLS domain).
Is that possible for our PEP client application to connect to OES which is deployed on a different WLS domain or even remote WLS?
2. Currently we deployed our WebCenter Spaces and OES on different WLS domains, is this a common pattern for WebCenter and OES integration?
We got following error while starting up OES, after we try deploying OES 11.1.1.5.0 and WebCenter Portal 11.1.1.6.0 together on a WLS (10.3.5) domain.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Nicholas

Finally I found the error I got was because of the wrong version of JDeveloper and WebCenter extension.
Portal apps which created by JDev 11.1.1.6.0 are not able to run on WebCenter 11.1.1.1.5, while the ones created by JDev 11.1.1.1.5 with WC extension 11.1.1.4.0.120306 work.
Looks like it's not a good idea to mix FMW products of different version in a single project.

Integration of Apache Solr* and Webcenter Sites.

Hi ,
I am new to Apache Solr and Webcenter Sites . could you please guide us how to integrate both of them using SolrJ . please provide us the best ways for integrating them .
Thank you,
Sashank P

Hi Sashank,
In short you would need to customize WebCenter Sites.
You would need to include Apache Solr Client libraries into lib directory of you sites installation and call it withing the jsp template.
