Dynamic portal page generation

I wrote a jsp page to display the available discoverer reports to an user. User selects a few of the reports (no more than 6) and adds them as his favorite. I add this information in a custom table. Now I want to generate a page called "Report Favorites" for that user with his favorite reports. i.e I need to basically add 6 worksheet portlets to this page and then display the page. Is this doable? If so, what are the steps?

There are no public APIs to add portlets to portal pages.

Dynamic Portal Page does not show but called procedure behind it works

Hi I run into a bug that I try to solve unsuccessfully for 2,3 weeks. Here is the problem. I have portal dynamic page that execute a PL/SQL procedure to delete and insert data into a remote app table. When I compile and execute the procedure in Toad it does not give me any error or warning. But when I execute this procedure in my dynamic page the page does not show up but I check the results and data does delete and insert. So my procedure works behind the scene but the page does not display. As I look into detail of my code I found out that when I rem out the insert statement my page does show up and delete the data but when I put back the insert statement my page does not show up and data insert to the table. Here is my code structure of my procedure in plain words. I have a procedure that have a cursor for loop that
check if a certain condition exists if it is then it will delete data from the remote app table then insert a select statement data from 2 joins tables. Any one have run into similar situations like this and have any idea, please help. Thank you all.

How to show or hide portlets dynamically on a Portal Page

Dear All
1. I have a Portal Page with One Portlet in the top having like 5 Buttons. Each button click should display a separate portlet in the bottom on this same page.
2. I have Top Portlet. For bottom I have 5 Portlets P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. On my .portal file, I dragged and dropped top portlet and all these 5 Portlets one below each other.
3. Now, I am trying to use BackingFile approach at PageLevel/Portlet level, to get the details of button clicked in top portlet (like name etc), and then show only one portlet at a time in the bottom section (using portlet backingcontext show/hide APIs). I do need to compare the bottom portlets defintion_label etc. which is fine for now.
Is this the right approach...?
Or do I have to use Portlet Custom Event approach. So top portlet will trigger event everytime button is clicked with some payload. And bottom 5 portlets listen to that event and show/hide accordingly. But in this approach, I have to attach backingfile to all the bottom portlets to listen to them.
All the portlets are Pageflow based Portlets. Any ideas or any other simpler approaches, are highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ravi Jegga

Hi Kevin
1. Thanks a lot for the pointers. I will go with Events. So for bottom Portlets, I will use the same BackingFile. But still it is going to be custom Event. Because only one portlet will be shown. So its like my payload will be portlet def label. In Backing File, I will compare this payload with actual dynamic value and if same, show or hide that portlet. Please let me know if this is correct approach.
2. Now each one of the Bottom Portlets is a complex pageflow portlet with many buttons of their own. So everytime a button is clicked or action is invoked, the Backing File gets called. And I had to somehow know that the same portlet has to be shown or the show/hide logic should not be called. Is there any way, where backing file gets called or just listen for Events triggered only from main top portlet.
Thanks for the other message, where looks like you already gave lots of pointers. I will go through them.
I will design and test this out and will keep you posted with my results.
Thanks a lot again

How to create a Dynamic Logon pages for a portal.

Hi all ,
Is it possible to create a dynamic logon pages for a portal.My requirement is when ever we enter the Portal url in the browser we will get logon page ..now when we reenter the Portal link the logon page should change. is it possible .
thanks
Rajeev.

Hi Rajeev,
Your requirement isn't very clear here.
Do you meant that is userA is trying to logon, he must see different logon pages at different tims he tries to logon?
Thanks Hermann, I too was thinking about the same...just need to have some clarity on what really needs to be achieved. Also unless the whole logon page needs to be different then cookies are best -- if its just some images then some javascript would be good enough.
Thanks,
GLM

Displaying multiple dynamic html pages within a single Portal folder.

Hi all,
Question: How can I display multiple dynamic html pages that are linked to each other, within a single portal folder?
History:
I have a designer/web server application (PL/SQL packakges) on Oracle
8.1.7. Early in the development process we built it into WebDB2.2 and
used folders on the left side as a navigation bar and the contents of my packages on the right side. This was easy, WebDB used Frames.
Unfortunatley I could never automatically display a PL/SQL item in the folder area.
Now I need to integrate the application into Portal 3.0 not the early adopters version, the one with 9iAS (NT for now, Unix later). I have a page/content area divided into regions and a navigation portlet on the left side containing links to PL/SQL folders whose contents are displayed on the right side. On the right side I have (for example) a Queryview. When I click on any of the buttons (i.e. Find, New), I land in a new page outside of my portal folder. This page contains a dynamically built list (from one or more DB Tables) and of course the first column contains a list of links that bring you to the individual item. How do I set my links or configure my folder to display
within the portal folder area?

Hi,
One alternate is, increase the size of your screen, for this go to the layout of your screen and increase it as much you want, and also the custom container size, so that no scroll bar will appear at least.
Other solution would be, as you said ALVs will be dynamical, it will be good to create buttons, or links on the screen based on the no of ALVs dynamically and on click of corresponding button call the corresponding ALV.
But i dont think this will serve, first check the first option.
Hope this helps u.,
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran.

Portal Page Dynamic URLS & Search Engines

Hi,
I have created a portal site. These portal pages urls are created dynamically.
How can I optimize this dynamic (and long) URL for a search engine?
I am having trouble getting them spidered and ranked in major search engines.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Despite many posts on this issue, I am skeptical that there
is a problem
with search engines indexing pages with query strings. I have
a number
of pages with URLs like showdetail.cfm?articleID=25 and they
are always
indexed by Google and other search engines.
It is my understanding it largely depends on how you link to
the detail
pages. If you have direct anchors to the detail pages Google
will index
them. If you use a form or something else, Google is much
less likely
to follow.
For example:
<a href="showdetail.cfm?articleID=25">The best red ball
ever</a>

<form action="showdetail.cfm" method="get">
<select name="articleID">
<option value="25">The best red ball
ever<option>
<option value="26">The best green ball
ever<option>
<option value="27">The best blue ball
ever<option>
</select>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>

This makes some sense, because how can a robot complete a
form even if
it could determine it is for navigation.

Need to display dynamic content on portal page

I have an htmldb application that a client can upload doctor profiles for the web users to lookup and find a doctor within a certain radius. When they click on the doctor's name, it shows a profile of the doctor. I need to be able to display this information directly on the oracle portal instead of iframing it because i need it to be searchable. I created an xml report in htmldb and linked it to the oracle portal with an omniportlet. The test page can be seen at [http://portal2.bynum.com/portal/page/portal/test/xml%20data%20test]
I need the link on the go to a page in portal and display the information from the database like it does on htmldb. Is it possible to:
1. Add a drop down box in the omniportlet that allows me to chose all doctors whose last name begins with the letter in the dropdown box.
2. Point the link to oracle portal, pass the object_id to the page, and display the doctor profile all in the portal instead of iframing from htmldb.

Ok, i found the solution. I created a page with the parameters that i want passed in order to display the datbase content. the parameters where created in the page properties section for the page. I created id, first_name, and last_name parameters. Then i created a dynamic pl/sql web page with the dynamic html portlet included with oracle and tied those parameters to the queries. Dynamic content is now displayed when the omniportlet links to the page.

Dynamic Portal Content

Dear All
I am creataing a page on Portal will be used to display advertisements.
Advertisments have many paragraphs. How can I manage the web content of such type on Portal.
Using Webdynpro to fetch text from database is an expensive task.

hi adnan,
Web Content Management in the Enterprise Portal -
The future of traditional Web Content Management (WCM) systems is uncertain. Businesses
are increasingly implementing enterprise portal solutions that are primarily focused
on application and business process integration. However, existing Web Content
Management systems that concentrate on the creation, maintenance and provision of
web-based content, for example for intranet operation, have become established in todays
enterprise. This development presents a new challenge for enterprise IT departments:
These two very separate system worlds must be unified both in design and technology.
Enterprise portals represent a direct advancement for intranets and dynamic websites,
mainly due to the user-specific integration of applications and information in a single,
unified user interface. In order to make a clear distinction, the terms intranet and portal
should be defined:
An intranet provides employees with information using static HTML pages and/or a Web
Content Management System. Access to individual web-based applications from the
intranet is made possible by simple links. Consequently, an intranet is designed mainly
for the purpose of information distribution and is only marginally involved in process optimization.
Since there is no logical connection between the applications, users are forced
to log in separately to various applications with different user registration data. The required
user names and passwords are usually not consistent throughout a company. Furthermore,
roles are not part of intranet design and it is not possible to customize the
user interface (user customizing).
An enterprise portal is a complex integration infrastructure that consolidates application
systems, services and information from a variety of different sources within an enterprise
into a central, unified user interface (e.g. web browser) that is individually adapted for
each employee and accessible from every desktop. Enterprise portal content is individually
adapted for every employee or group; this is made possible by corresponding role
concepts.
Enterprise portals have opened a single point of entry for a variety of different business
applications. So why not simply present the complex content required directly within the
enterprise portal and completely replace existing extranet or intranet solutions? Most
new generation portal software products neglect this concept. The Content Management
they offer out of the box is rudimentary at best. Unfortunately, many IT decision makers
are either partially or completely unaware of this shortcoming.
On the other hand, there are highly sophisticated Web Content Management systems and
products on the market functionalities range from Internet building blocks for creating
simple homepages to adequate workflow integration within the Information Lifecycle.
Moreover, these systems include additional tools for generating navigational structures
as well as editing and authoring tools for managing content on websites. Link management,
approval workflows and access controls for designated areas of the web-based
solution are practically taken for granted. A Web Content Management system delivers
the technologies, tools and methods for creating, managing, storing, preserving and providing
electronic content throughout the entire enterprise. This generally recognized defnition originates from AIIM International (Association for Information and Image Management
International). Unlike document management, which can be described as a database-
supported management system for electronic documents, Web Content Management
encompasses web publishing, publishing intranet or internet pages and provides
structured publication of web-based information.
At first glance, deploying Web Content Management systems allows enterprises to unify
web-based content and application-based information within a single enterprise portal,
regardless of the format in which the information is available.
Some WCM software manufacturers have already taken action and provide specifically
for the SAP NetWeaver Portal comprehensive integration packages that integrate
their high-performance Web Content Management systems in the portal software.
But how do companies manage and supply the content to be published in an enterprise
portal created on the basis of business-oriented portal software? At a time when users
are already confronted with heterogeneous environments in their day-to-day work, every
additional system is simply another burden. Integrating a high-performance, technologically
advanced Web Content Management system in an enterprise portal is problematic
because, to a great extent, both software solutions implement competing concepts and
technologies which must be further explained.
Both systems require their own server infrastructure and rely on their own, completely
proprietary software architecture based on a separate database and/or data storage system.
As a result, additional expenditure is incurred for all of the following aspects:
· Parallel expenditure for hardware
· Parallel expenditure for operation and monitoring
· Parallel expenditure for backup & restore
· Parallel expenditure for security design and implementations
· Parallel expenditure for performance optimization
· Parallel expenditure for administrator training
From the perspective of an enterprise portal infrastructure, a Web Content Management
system is a third-party system which must be integrated via interfaces. Thus, the following
issues must be addressed:
(1) Parallel existence of two navigational structures: a) navigational structures, pages
and roles within the enterprise portal and b) menu items and storage structures
within the external WCM system.
(2) Editors are required to learn how to work with two different tools and user interfaces.
(3) A search function must be developed that can be utilized for both systems; access
rights for both systems must be given special attention here.
(4) Parallel existence of two authorization concepts. Defining access rights in an enterprise
portal is generally possible on the basis of users, groups, and portal roles in
particular. Access rights management in a WCM system has its own administrator interfaces
and authorization objects which need to be aligned.
(5) Parallel workflow concepts: An enterprise portal has application-oriented workflow
procedures that are usually based on the user administration integrated into the portal
(users, roles and groups). A WCM system often uses its own staging concept for
approving web pages based on its own workflow which exists parallel to the portal
workflow.
(6) Parallel user registration data management: Enterprise portals offer powerful features
for user administration which must be used in addition to or in competition
with the WCM system user administration. It makes sense to use a single LDAP interface
for both systems. However, this does not solve the key problem: both systems
have their own administration tools for user management.
(7) Parallel security concepts: Enterprise portals offer very powerful security design concepts
and functions; a WCM system has its own design concepts and these must also
be managed and taken into consideration.
(8) Some external WCM systems generate portal objects (e.g. menu items in portal
roles) via interfaces. Changes to these generated objects are overwritten during
each generation process making it impossible to use all of the functionality of the
portal tools. Only the features that are generated and/or supported by the WCM system
can be fully leveraged.
(9) Parallel concepts for link management: There are different methods for creating and
managing links in both software systems. A particular problem is posed by targets
that affect the role-based navigational structure of the enterprise portal which generally
cannot be conveniently selected as most editors would expect.
(10) Parallel page creation and layout concepts (look & feel): Both systems have their
own concept of performance-optimized page presentation. Similarly, both systems
offer different methods and tools for editing the look & feel of the pages.
Taking the above issues into consideration, serious thought should be given to integrating
an external Web Content Management system in an enterprise portal. From a longterm
perspective and when taking the Total Cost of Ownership into consideration, operating
two IT systems as complex as these parallel to one another is impractical, even if the
WCM system manufacturers offer portal-specific integration packages for their software.
A closer look at these packages shows that many of the interface problems and design
redundancies detailed above will nevertheless continue to persist.
From the authors perspective, every project involving Web Content Management in enterprise
portals should question whether or not the desired editing processes and WCM
requirements could be served with the standard features of the enterprise portal or covered
by an expansion package or implementation and project work. This solution path is
further explained in the following practical example.
Practical example: Web Content Management in the SAP NetWeaver Portal
With its SAP NetWeaver Portal, SAP not only provides the basis for a successful
backend system for business process optimization, but also delivers basic Web Content
Management functionalities. In order to structure the content, the SAP NetWeaver Portal
utilizes a central tool - the Portal Content Studio.
The Portal Content Studio offers a central environment for developing and managing all
types of portal content, such as portlets (iViews), pages, layouts, worksets, roles, and
packages.
Figure 1: Portal Content Studio for the SAP NetWeaver Portal (source: btexx Portal)
The most important object in the Portal Content Catalog is the role, which serves two
purposes: First of all, the role is assigned to users or user groups, achieving the typical
personalization required of an enterprise portal, secondly, the role in the SAP portal defines
the menu structure that is linked to the role at the same time.
A role can be implemented as a hierarchical tree structure with an infinite number of
nested objects. The tree structure is formed by creating folders. Pages or iViews can be
positioned at any level within the hierarchy. There are different types of iViews; typical
examples of iViews are R/3 transactions, eBusiness applications, Internet/intranet applications,
or content-based iViews (HTML content, text, graphics). iViews are typically positioned
and arranged on pages but they can also be independently built into roles.
Within a role, so-called Entry Points must be defined which are then included as a menu
item in both of the top navigation bars of the portal menu. The portal menu is generally
comprised of multiple roles (with corresponding Entry Points). However, the order of the
menu items can be defined (using the Attribute Priority).
Additionally, SAP provides an Internet platform that offers a selection of ready-to-use
portal contents in a general catalog that can be imported into the Portal Content Studio.
SAP calls these out-of- the-box solutions SAP Business Packages. Partners and other
software manufacturers are able to provide solutions and/or interfaces based on this
platform and have them certified by SAP (SAP offers a certification program especially
designed for these solutions). The iView list for the so-called Portal Content Portfolio
(formally iView Studio) includes thousands of iViews.
The SAP Portal Content Portfolio can be accessed here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/contentportfolio
In many aspects, the tools and capabilities of the Portal Content Studio are comprehensive
and advanced yet they are not sufficient for comprehensive Web Content Management.
First and foremost, the Portal Content Studio supports the establishment of rolebased
navigational structures and the definition of portal pages on which iViews can be
positioned and arranged. This method of content creation is comparatively complex and
not suited for the daily business of an editor, who is typically less involved in changing
content structures and more involved in changing the content elements contained therein
(text, graphics, flash files, links, documents, etc.). Pragmatic methods and simple
mechanisms are desired for the management of this content. The material in the content-
based iViews must be freely definable through simple and intuitive means and editors
should be able to create content themselves.
The SAP Knowledge Management (KM) component is available for storing content and
documents in SAP NetWeaver. The content to be presented can be stored and managed
via a folder structure that must be managed parallel to the Portal Content Directory.
However, in the standard feature set of the SAP NetWeaver Portal, the KM folder where
this content is later to be saved must be defined for every content-based KM iView. An
automatic link between the current role position and the KM location is not created. Simple
shifting between read and edit mode is another feature that is not available in the
standard version despite the fact that this functionality is extremely important for editors.
Despite the multitude of existing functions, the standard SAP NetWeaver Portal offers
insufficient capabilities for comfortable Web Content Management. Editing capabilities for
XML forms, so-called docs iViews, URL-iViews or TREX searches are offered but their use
is anything but intuitive and involves a great deal of administrative expenditure. This
makes a high level of knowledge in building web content within the SAP NetWeaver
Portal a prerequisite. Above all, there are little or no possibilities for using Web Content
Management functionality such as the construction of generic content structures, link
management, multi-language support or a navigational context available from the search
results without the relevant programming or HTML knowledge.
This is where an enhancement from btexx business technologies GmbH, the Business
Package easyWCM for Web Content Management in SAP NetWeaver Portal comes in. It
uses the Portal Content Studio as a central tool yet significantly accelerates editing processes.
It allows content elements to be linked effectively with portal objects that are created
automatically through the use of easyWCM iViews. Every authorized user can create,
publish and edit information.
This Business Package automatically stores the content elements in the KM component
assigned in the navigation structure in the background and makes them available for further
editing on portal pages, greatly simplifying subsequent content management work.
This is why the editor no longer requires technical knowledge of where the content is
stored in the KM. Thanks to easyWCM, both the editor and the end-user work with the
same portal role and costly multiple management of the navigation and content storage
structure is unnecessary. Using the Inplace Editing feature, the editor is able to edit
content directly on the portal pages on which the content is presented and visualized.
The Business Package is based 100% on the SAP NetWeaver Portal and Knowledge
Management Components; no third-party servers or additional software products are required.
The portal server is solely responsible for providing the runtime platform.
A third-party Content Management System may be able to offer a larger selection of features
than easyWCM but it implementing and operating the additional solution will require
a great deal more resources. The easyWCM Business Package for the SAP Net-
Weaver Portal provides Web Content Management simply and effectively while supporting
the following essential requirements:
Complete integration for SAP Portal Content Studio
An editor does not need any tools other than the SAP Portal Content Studio. The desired
navigational structures are provided as SAP portal roles in the SAP Portal Content Studio
- the application of easyWCM iViews is thereby possible anywhere within portal roles,
worksets and pages. The main advantage of this solution is that the editors enter content
in a single environment in which all web content and navigational structures are stored
and administered.
Inplace editing:
End-users and editors work with the same portal roles. Therefore, no separate portal
roles for providing and maintaining the content are required! As an editor, easyWCM
iView offers you the ability to add and work on content components directly within the
portal (Inplace Editing). Furthermore, the editor is able to use SAP KM standard functions
(e.g. authorization assignment, workflow, feedback, rating, etc.) directly within the content
component.
Automatic creation of KM folders
A general standard is that everyone must indicate the respective KM file path in which
the content components are to be stored. This requires a great deal of effort when maintaining
portals with a large number of web content elements. easyWCM automatically
produces the necessary listings with the desired KM authorizations at runtime and simultaneously
activates the desired KM services (life span, manual arrangement, history,
workflow). During shifting or copying processes in the SAP Portal Content Studio, the
elements are automatically moved and copied within the KM!
Preview functionality from Portal Content Studio
A preview function for each form is easily accessible with a single click. It is also possible
to preview items directly from the Portal Content Studio in order to view the complete
portal page, for example. easyWCM iViews were designed in a way that also enables users
to enter and edit content directly from the SAP Portal Content Studio preview function.
Multiple use of content elements
easyWCM iViews may be adjusted in such a way as to allow content to be used more
than once. Using this option, the content is not stored by the role and/or page, but is
linked centrally within the easyWCM iView. The multiple use of content components is
important, for example, if the right column of the portal presentation is exactly the same
for several pages (e.g. for contact data, partners, advertisements, etc.).
Approval workflow
If desired, the SAP KM approval workflow may be activated in order to manage content
elements. Changes to content elements will only be visible after the approval. All XML
forms provided by easyWCM support the SAP KM approval workflow and indicate the
permission status by using traffic lights.
Version management
If desired, the SAP KM version management may be activated in order to manage content
elements. An editor with the proper authorization can specify the portal pages on
which version management should be activated. When version management is activated,
it is possible to replace older content components or to cancel incorrect modifications.
With each change, a new version is automatically stored and documented including the
date and the person who made the change.
Life span
If desired, the SAP KM life span function may be activated in order to manage content
elements. An editor with the proper authorization can specify the portal pages on which
the life span function should be activated. Activating the life span function makes it possible
to publish a content component for a specific period (this is useful for news or
events, for example).
Authorization-based search functionality
The SAP NetWeaver standard component TREX is used for the search function. One of
the key advantages of easyWCM compared to external WCM solutions is that the search
is implemented completely on the basis of the SAP NetWeaver platform and, in particular,
that it is dependent on the authorization status. A separate search machine with its
own user and authorization administration is not required.
Multi-language support
easyWCM automatically detects the language of the editor and stores the content in
separate folders. Folders for content in different languages are created based on the active
portal language.
Ready-to-use forms and pages
easyWCM contains a set of immediately useable portal roles and pages which may be
used for your desired menu structures and page layouts. As such, easyWCM provides the
ability to create and maintain Internet pages without special HTML programming knowledge.
easyWCM also contains more than 30 XML forms based on the XML forms builder
(SAP standard) which can be used for content creation. These XML forms may also be
custom designed to fit your needs.
Personalized user interface
easyWCM determines the user interface depending on portal authorizations of the
user/editor and the corresponding authorizations of the respective KM folders. The
easyWCM package contains different KM layout sets which may be activated via customization,
if desired. Working on content is simple; an editor with the appropriate KM writepermissions

How to make Portal Form Submit go back to portal page?

I'm using a form inside a Dynamic Page portlet so that I can have portal page parameters feed into the form. This works just fine.
However, when I submit a new record in my form, the page navigates to a page with just my Portal Form and not the Portal Page with the dynamic page that referenced the form. I need to make sure that when users click the insert/submit on my form that it goes back to the Portal Page that houses the Dynamic Page portlet.
I have logged a TAR but Oracle was unable to resolve it since they can't write code for a customer. Their suggestion was to put this in the pl/sql "Custom" event for the insert button:
DECLARE
l_url VARCHAR2(200);
begin
l_url:=
'TARGET=_blank>http://dallas.lacare.org:7777/portal/page?_pageid=154,107011&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL';
PORTAL.wwa_app_module.set_target(l_url,'CALL');
exception
WHEN OTHERS then
htp.p(SQLERRM);
end;
But that gives me an internal server error when I submit my form.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
David

Looks like my problem was just the TARGET=_blank> stuff. I change the code to the following:
DECLARE
l_url VARCHAR2(200);
begin
l_url:=
'/portal/page?_pageid=154,107011&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL';
PORTAL.wwa_app_module.set_target(l_url,'CALL');
exception
WHEN OTHERS then
htp.p(SQLERRM);
end;
That works fine and instead of putting it in place of the INSERT button code I left that alone and put it in the "After form processing" pl/sql code. Now it works pretty well. The only thing left to fix is that it loses all my current Page Parameter values when forwarding the url like that.

How to display the user in a Portal page?

This is certainly a qyestion many of you have come across:
What is the best way to display the portal username in a portal page?
Thanks in advance for your help,

From a dynamic page, you'll want to call:
htp.p(wwctx_api.get_user());
For info on how to print out other information from their profile, you'll want to review the documented API calls at:

Execution order of objects into a Portal page

Hi, to all.
I have a portal page (Oracle Portal 10.1.4) with many Areas (Items and Portlets). Every area contains one or more components (java portlet, plsql portlet,
dynamic page, plsql item, html portlet and so on). Let say 5 areas and 10 objects.
What is the order of executions of the objects ?
Who is the first object executed?
Portal executed all the objects in the first area and then started with the second area?
Which is the first area? these at the top-left corner of the page?
Thank.

8.3.1 Managed Portlet Execution per Page
The PPE(Paralel Page Engine) uses the concept of fetcher threads. These are threads within the PPE servlet which are used to service requests for portlet content. By default there are 25 fetcher threads within the PPE waiting to service requests. If a page has 26 portlets and that page is requested then 25 of the portlets will be requested in parallel and the 26th request will wait for the next available fetcher thread.
This serialization effect will ultimately slow down the portal performance as more requests are received. This degradation will affect the whole portal site, to combat this at a more granular page level OracleAS Portal introduces a feature called Managed Portlet Execution (MPE).
This feature provides a throttle effect similar to fetcher threads but on a per-page basis. If a page has 25 portlets 20 will run the other 5 will wait for free slots then they will run, in effect they'll be throttled.
MPE is set to 20 by default, but this is a configurable parameter allowing administrators to ensure that the performance of the whole site is not degraded by over-zealous page designers putting excessive quantities of portlets on one page.

And parallel means like "all at the sime time" isn't it?

Set Portal Page URL in Web Dynpro IFrame

Hi All,
I've a Web Dynpro application that runs in the portal.
The application creates iframes dynamically.
I want to set in the iframes portal pages.
In order to get the page's url, I go to content admin, navigate to the page and then press the 'preview' button then I copy the url from the browser's address bar.
I copy the url from the '/irj....' to the src property of the IFrame UI element.
So the source property looks something like this:
/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.mycomp.Omri!2fcom.mycomp.TestPage
When I run the project I get:
<i>Portal Runtime Error

The page's permissions are set to everyone so I don't know why do I get this error.
So, how do I set portal page url in Web Dynpro IFrame?
p.s
I tried to use NavigatinTarget in the URL and it works. The problem is that the TLN is included. I want to display only the page.
Thanks,

Hi Valery,
I have only one domain...
I searched SDN and I found this post:
/message/1259616#1259616 [original link is broken]
Daniel Wroblewski from SAP says:
<i>This, naturally, sounds like a permission issue. Two steps:
You must give the Everyone group end-user permission to the iView. This will eliminate the error and cause a login screen to display.
If you want to eliminate the login screen, you must set the iView property Authentication Scheme to anonymous.</i>
I will try it tomorrow in the Office.

Where are portal pages stoered (in db/ file/...?)

hi,
I want to change the LAF of my portal htm pages.
i want to change the buttons to customized ones.
where are html pages stored (in db/files/...),
i want to edit the html (or jsp) sources.
thanx in advance
farbod m.

Portal pages are assambled dynamically, you don't find them in the database or file system. You can control the LAF of your page through page styles. Alternatively, you can extend or overwrite the default portal styles using HTML (aka User Interface or UI) templates. You find information about styles and templates in the Portal documentation and online help.

Enable save data locally / enable detail page generation

Under the behaviors tab on the display templetes I have checked "Enable Popup Menu", checked "Enable Save Data Locally" and checked "Enable Detail Page Generation". When you right click on the applet, some applets the "Data >" selection is disabled/grayed out for others it is not and works properly. I can get the data via the showDetailUsingGet() method. Works on most grid and chart applets but does not on some. Please help.

Typically this behavior would be attributed to the kind of recordset behind the applet . If it is dynamic (for example time based queries and you have enabled the auto refresh property of the applet , so with every refresh you have a new data set) then the data detail would be grayed out otherwise it would work as advertised.

Set isolatedHtmlContainer height when displaying portal page

Hi,
I have a portal application which displays portal pages from the pcd in isolatedHtmlContainer.
The page's content is dynamic so the height is not fixed and therefore in the page's properties the height's value set to 'Automatic'
However, when working with isolatedHtmlContainer the height could be set in pixels or percentage only (I cannot set it to 'Automatic').
p.s
If the height was fixed I could get it by the profile of IPortalComponentContext, but if I will do that I'll get a string like 'Automatic' which doesn't help me...)
Thanks,
Omri

Hi Martin,
I read the blog but the javascript doesn't affect my IsolatedHtmlContainer.
Let me rephrase my question:
In the portal innerpage I display X IsolatedHtmlContainers (my application decides how many pages to display). Each container has dynamic content (a portal page from the pcd), therefore, I have a problem setting the height of the IsolatedHtmlContainers (too low - scrolling bar, too high - blank space).
The properties of the portal pages from the pcd are set as follows:
isolation method - URL
height method: Automatic
If I display the pages without the IsolatedHtmlContainers, the 'Automatic' feature works and the page's size is OK.
So my question is:
Is there a way for the IsolatedHtmlContainer adjust its size according to its content?
Thanks,
Omri
