Examples of migrated 3.0.9 portals?

Question

Hi all,
in 3.0.9.8.5 we used content areas to store texts, files and images and we displayed them on the websites (e.g. portal pages) using the Folder-Portlet mechanism. Also we used the subfolder-render-in-portlet feature to drill down to details and history folders.
After the migration to 10g, we now have to maintain the websites on two places: the first is the page (stored for example in the page-group Top Level Pages) and the second is the page-group made for the content area. Also, the subfolders can not be reached anymore on the migrated pages and they have to be redesigned.
Offcourse these two problems are not acceptable and we are working hard with Support to find a solution. Did you by chance experienced the same problem? And how did you solve it? Please let us know and give us some live examples of migrated websites.
Regards, Jan Willem

Thanks, probably you can give me a hand on this,
I am getting strange things during upgrade
here is the path:
1. 3.0.9.8.2->3.0.9.85 via p2394398_309_WINNT (DB 8.1.7) - OK
2. DB upgrade to 9.2 DB assistant
2.a performance fix mentioned in doc
3. SSO export via p3498669_9040_GENERIC to AS 10g(9.0.4)
3.a. DAD creation
at this point I can access some portal pages with urls
.../pls/portal30
...page?_pageid=54,0&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30
but not
servlet/page?_pageid=1234&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30
4. repository upgrade via p2778342_9040_GENERIC
strange things are:
1) missing java grants after DB upgrade to 9.2 (documented somehow)
but more in fact I have to create public synonyms to a lot of
sys tables/views and for all java stuff in sys
and grant select/execute to portal30.
grant select on dba_db_links to portal30;
grant select on sys.cdef$ to portal30;
grant select on sys.col$ to portal30;
grant select on sys.coltype$ to portal30;
grant select on sys.con$ to portal30;
grant select on sys.link$ to portal30;
grant select on sys.obj$ to portal30;
grant select on sys.objauth$ to portal30;
grant select on sys.syn$ to portal30;
grant select on sys.user$ to portal30;
grant select on table_privilege_map to portal30;
grant select on sys.ind$ to portal30;
grant select on sys.tab$ to portal30;
grant select on sys.dba_free_space to portal30;
grant select on sys.dba_data_files to portal30;
grant select on sys.v_$sgastat to portal30;
grant select on sys.type$ to portal30;
grant select on sys.attribute$ to portal30;
grant select on DBA_INDEXES to portal30;
grant select on DBA_TRIGGERS to portal30;
grant select on DBA_VIEWS to portal30;
grant select on DBA_IND_COLUMNS to portal30;
grant select on DBA_SEQUENCES to portal30;
grant select on DBA_TABLES to portal30;
grant select on DBA_UPDATABLE_COLUMNS to portal30;
grant select on DBA_IND_EXPRESSIONS to portal30;
grant select on DBA_TYPE_ATTRS to portal30;
grant select on DBA_DB_LINKS to portal30_sso;
declare
cursor lc is
select o.object_name from obj o
where object_type='JAVA CLASS'
and not exists (
select null from dba_synonyms s where s.owner='PUBLIC' and s.synonym_name=o.object_name
l_sql varchar2(1000);
l_cnt number:=0;
begin
for lr in lc loop
l_sql:='create public synonym "'||lr.object_name||'" for "'||lr.object_name||'"';
execute immediate l_sql;
l_cnt:=l_cnt+1;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line('synonyms created l_cnt='||l_cnt);
end;
2) dbms_ldap in 9.2 DB does not have NLS_CONVERT_TO_UTF
so I have to load them not from 9.2 DB home but from infrastructure home
otherwise I have an error 9410 : 586/33     PLS-00302: component 'NLS_CONVERT_TO_UTF8' must be declared
3) even if precked passed with success I am getting
### 5070 : # ERROR: Setting subscriber information. ID: 1
### 5071 : # ERROR: ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function
