EXCHANGE PORTLET IN CLUSTER MACHINE

Hi,
I was setting the exchange portlet, but the machine residing IIS and the outlook is in a cluster how can I configure the portlet in the cluster?, is there any special instruction to setting the portlet?, I have to do the same twice in each machine or this is not supported?
Thanks a lot.
Cecilia Vega

Hi Cecilia,
I have not tested Microsoft exchange portlets in a cluster environment. But I feel these portlets should work fine in a cluster environment too.
A few questions though,
1. "Outlook is in a cluster", can you please elaborate on this. As the there is no dependency on Outlook for the portlets to work.
2. Can you let me know details of Cluster environment and the version of the Windows/ IIS and Exchange server that you are using.
Answer to the above questions will allow me to answer with more specifics.
But here are a few points for setting up Microsoft portlets in a cluster environment:-
1. Once you set up the Replication and Clustering in IIS, then you will be pointing to one IIS machine where the .asps are hosted. And the failover will be taken care by the clustering environment, you will not have to do any additional settings.
2. You need to keep in mind that ASP sessions do not fail over to other nodes in Microsoft Clustering. This means that clients will need to reestablish the connection if a failover occurs on the server.
Please get back if you face any issues.
Take care,
Manoj

Expected behavior of the Exchange portlets in release 2

I've installed the Exchange portlets in release 2 successfully. Everything works - Inbox, Calendar, Contact list. However when you update the portlet with required information i.e. Inbox user name, server, # of message rows, the portlet displays the view, but once you go to a different page and then decide to return to the page with the Exchange portlets, you need to enter that very same information again. Is this the way it is suppose to work???
Please share your experiences.
Thanks,
r/ George

George,
This may be a pain for you, but could you please walk me through the steps that you took to get the exchange portlets working? We are trying to install the exchange5.5 portlets. We are currently using Portal release 9.2.1.2.14 (i think that's it - latest release) and have upgraded to 9.0.2.4 via the December PDK we downloaded. We have also made the appropriate setup to the IIS/Exchange server and can view the test.asp pages that were provided. Do you need to deploy an .ear file on OC4J for the exchange5.5 portlets like you do for the exchange2000 portlets? Any help would be appreciated and we have read the documentation included with the Dec. pdk.zip release to no avail. Thank you.

Restore exchange account with time machine

Hello,
Using Mail under Maverick, when making a rules and apply it, this rules doesn't works like I expect, and suppress about 400 hundred mails in my inbox (account exchange 365).
I go to TimeMachine to restore the Inbox like 30 minutes before. I see all the losted mails, but when I clik on Restore, a message say something like "restoring box Outlook 365"... and nothing... My inbox stay empty !
In fact, if it's not possible to restore an Mail Exchange Account with Time Machine, it should send me an alert, or propose to restore the mails to a temporary local box.
Could you help me ?
Thanks for your attention and Best regards
Laurent

Sorry,
I just found the alert of your reply in the spam folder !
Yes, I have a suggestion. Im not in front of the Mac where I have had the problem, but I remember that at the bottom of the "On my Mac" mail folders, there is a new folder created by Time Machine. In this folder, the restored send and received mailbox !
Hoppe it will help you.
Best regards,
Laurent

Exchange Portlet - Session Cookies - Collapsing Portlets

I am having trouble with the exchange portlet collapsing when refreshed.
I have been tracing through the code and narrowed it down to a missing cookie in the PortletRenderRequest object.
The process method in ExchangeProvider creates a new ApplicationLogin object using the PortletRenderRequest object.
When the ApplicationLogin object is created it scans the cookie list in the request object for the exchangecookie which it then uses to populate the login details and sets the logged-in flag to true, if it can't find the cookie it assumes the caller is not logged in and sets the logged-in flag to false.
The first time the ExchangeProvider.process method is called there are two cookies in the list (an exchangecookie and a JServSessionIdroot cookie) which is fine because it sets up the users details as expected, the second time it gets called (when you refresh the page) the exchangecookie has disappeared from the request object, so it leaves the ApplicationLogin object in the logged-in = false state, which inturn means the page does not get rendered.
Does anyone know when the exchangecookie gets created and when it gets passed around? This would help in tracking down the error, or better still does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
DJ
P.S. There is a known problem in Oracle Financials and Application Server with cookies and IE, but this problem occurs in IE and NS so it does not appear to be browser dependent.

If I comment out caching and set login to "always" the portlets take 2-5 minutes to render, which is not acceptable for deployment.
Can anybody fix the JPDK or the portlets?

Alan ,
Comment the code that do caching in the begining of each renderShow method in each of the four renderer classes (e.g. InboxRenderer,CalendarRenderer, ...), together with login freqeuncy set to 'Always', it will work.
Pls Send me your code to fix the Ok & Apply buttons in the Customize page.

TREX install on cluster machine

We have a Windows 2003 server cluster where we already have a SAP Java system installed and E: is the drive for the cluster resource. Now we need to install TREX for this system and due to a shortage of hardware / time we want to attempt to install it on the cluster machines. We know that clustering is not supported by TREX but are trying to install it as a stand alone instance on each server and will manually start the instance that is required.
However, when we try to install TREX on either server instead of going to the local drive it tries to go the E: drive (I guess because it is being told that a SAPMNT exists here).
Does any one know if it is possible to force it to install locally on the server?
Thanks in advance,
Craig
P.S. We are starting realise this is probably impossible because we will end up with a share called SAPMNT on E: and we are trying to force it to create another SAPMNT share on C:

Hi Chris,
do you use the ContentServer in the DMS application? If yes, you need to index documents stored in the DMS_PCD1 docu category.

Missing parameters for Exchange Portlet

In the Exchange Portlet installation document on page 15 under
Stage 3. Changes to zone.properties
the line shows
servlet.exchangeAppProv.initArgs=provider_root=c:\exchange, sessiontimeout=1800000
it should read
servlet.exchangeAppProv.initArgs=provider_root=c:\exchange, sessiontimeout=1800000, debuglevel=1
This will allow the execution of the servlet/exchangeAppProv/ URL and verification of the exchange Portlet Provider configuration

Yes, I have been using $_REQUEST.
The test script looks like this:
<?php
$latin_name = $_REQUEST['latname'];
$common_name = $_REQUEST['commname'];
if ($latin_name == "")
$latin_name = "Not available";
$common_name = "Not available";
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pword") or
die ("Unable to connect");
mysql_select_db("balloonflash") or die ("Database not
found");
$query = "INSERT INTO species (latName, commName) VALUES
('$latin_name', '$common_name')";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Unable to execute
query: " . mysql_error());
mysql_close($connection);
?>
It seems like the script is not triggered at all when I run
the Flash form from HTML - I don't even get the default values
entered into the database. Actually, yes I do, my mistake - but the
variable values are not being passed over.

Strange url in exchange portlet.

I add exchange portlet into my portal page.
It's fine. But when I try to view inbox contents by clicking the content link, I see attached url(javascript:submitURL2227("right url")) and failed to view them.
Of course, when I access right url,I successed.
Would you help me?
with regards,
eunjoo

Hi,
The javascript:submitURL2227("url") that you see is the URL created by URL based portlets to render content inline.
If you do not want to render content inline, set the <inlineRendering> value in provider.xml to false.
Is there some error being thrown when you click on the link? Look in the application.log file at the following location:
OC4J_PORTAL/j2ee/home/application-deployments/exchange.
Also check for javascript errors in the browser window. Maybe I'll be able to help you better if you can send me the errors.

Outlook Exchange Portlet

Hi,
We've been trying unsuccessfully for a few days now to get a portlet to connect to our Exchange 5.5 server. Our basic requirement is to have a portlet within our Oracle Portal that can display mailbox statistics (such as the number of unread messages) and that allows the user to 'drill-down' into the Outlook client and access their Inbox and Calendar etc.
We were sent a small portlet from an Oracle consultant but have had no joy in getting it to connect to Exchange.
Would really appreciate any ideas or comments anyone can offer. Surely others have tried something like this before, and surely it cant be too difficult?!
Thanks,
Don

Hi,
Have a look at the Exchange portlets provided by Oracle: http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/SAMPLES/WEBPORTLETS/V2/EXCHANGEPORTLET/EXCHANGE55.ZIP. There's also a version for release 1 on PortalStudio.
It doesn't allow you to drill down into the Outlook client, but instead uses Outlook Web Access to "drill down". I've installed the Exchange 2000 portlets and they work great. You can view your inbox, calendar and contacts as portlets and it's fairly easy to use the supplied code to create your own portlets e.g. for displaying tasks or notes.
If you absolutely need to "drill down" into the Outlook client, you need to run your Portal page as an Outlook Today page (inside Outlook). Look at msdn.microsoft.com for information on how to make your own Outlook Today page.

Microsoft Exchange Portlet security

Hi, I cant find any documentation on this issue, but are there other ways to set up login security for the Exchange portlet than the ones described in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/point/exchange2003/installation.html ? Basic authentication is not an option for the case I'm on right now, so a different authentication scheme is needed.
Is it possible or do I have to resort to some activex-control or something?

Hi gekka,
Can you tell me which kind of authentication you are looking for Microsft Exchange Portlet?.So that i can give some solution for your problem.Please provide environment detail such as which version of exchange(2000/2003) you are using???..e.t.c

Deploying exchange portlet.

I wanted to deploy the exchange portlet in Redhat 3.0 server AS 10g installation. I tried this with ORCLADMIN login.
When tried to access this from

Connect refused in Exchange Portlet

Hi,
I am trying to config the exchange portlet using URL-services and basic authentication. When I get to create web provider, the following error show up:
An error occurred when attempting to call the providers register

Any idea?
Thanks.

Do you mean the IsItWorking page or the test.asp in exchange portlet?
They both work fine.
Thanks. I meant neither of these but the test page for provider. The
installation instructions document refers this in the file
"INSTALLING.MICROSOFT.EXCHANGE.55.PORTLETS.html" and under
"Configuring the Web Provider" section. You have to make sure
the provider's servlet alias
http://your_oracle_http_server_hostname:port/servlet/exchange55
is running fine before specifying this URL in the provider registration
screen.
Hope it is clear now :-)
Thanks,
Amjad.

Exchange portlet suite automation

We're using v3.1 of the Exchange Portlet Suite, on our ALUI G6 SP1 environment. It works OK when the user goes into their user preferences and sets up:
userid
password
mailbox
mail server
login domain
I want to automate this login process, by passing in all the required information.
The configuration page allows the passing of:
userid
password
mailbox
login domain
It doesn't allow the passing of the mail server. I also don't know how to pass the password (it's the same as the one they logged into the portal with) - it's not held in any user attribute is it?
So - is there any way to pass the mail server in? (which to us is actually more important than anything else - we have a lot of mail servers, and users aren't told which one they're on). And is there a way to pass the password? Or will users always be required to enter this themselves?
Cheers

well... I haven't played w/ the IMAP / Exchange portlets, but you could try a few things
1) turn off the preferences / user admin settings page (if the settings are currently exposed that way). That will prevent people from setting / changing them
2) if they're stored as user settings / user info you could use a PEI to check that and then set / prompt accordingly
3) I don't know if it's possible to have a PEI set settings for a portlet, but... if you could and these are user::portlet settings then you could do something ala (2)
I'm not sure (3) is possible (I'm sure there's some way to do it) and I don't know what kinds of settings the portlets use, so YMMV.

Does Oracle Exchange Portlet 2003 Support SSL?

I installed the Oracle Exchange Portlet 2003 successfully. However, when enabling SSL on the Webmail (frontend) of Exchange Server, I got the some SSL handshake error. Just wonder whether the portlet support the SSL.
Failed to handle HTTP Request
java.io.IOException: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: SSL handshake failed:
X509CertChainIncompleteErr
Any advise will be welcomed.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Zhan,
I am not sure that the Exchange portlets support SSL. I will find out more info and get back to you.
thanks,

Exchange Portlet problem

hi experts,
we have a problem getting the asp pages that come with the exchange portlet running. The inbox.asp script runs fine, when not the contacts.asp and calendar.asp, they both come back with the error message that the
the method 'GetDefaultFolder' is not supported. We are running IIS server on a different NT-Box(Service Pack 6) as the exchange 5.5 server, but within the same domain. Anybody experienced the same problem?
thanks,
