Exporting content areas/pages

Help please!!
I have created content areas and pages on the Oracle's hosted portal demo site and need to export them to our own server.. Can anyone advise on how this process is done and if its possible? your help is appreciated...
thanks

Hy, there is a white paper about export import.
But here comes how to do it:
in $ORACLE_HOME\portal30\admin\plsql\wwu, you can find the import export utilities:
- contexp.cmd
- pageexp.cmd
also the import utilities are here. Use all the parameters in the same order as they come in the example (just type in contexp when you are in the right directory). Do the same for pages. Use -security options if you want to keep the security and the same for contexp with his own -page option. This should be done if you changed the page of the content area. They make a security.dmp and a pobpage.dmp in the current directory ($ORACLE_HOME\portal30\admin\plsql\wwu). If you export 2 content area's don't forget that the -page & -security option will overwrite the pobpage.dmp and security.dmp file, so it will be better to do the export import immediatly after each other. Or copy the files after the export.
Very important is to check the portlets from the content area's if they exist. If you have a portlet provider in the content area and the portlet repository doesn't show that (refresh in the repository can help) then the corresponding portlets in pages will be deleted.
Search on Metalink for the Whitepaper Fill in : Oracle9iAS Portal Export/Import White Paper and you will find all the information.
Good luck

  • Exporting Content Areas

    Has anyone managed to export content areas or pages in Oracle Portal30?
    I have looked at the scripts contained in the document 133135.1, but they donot work. Any ideas??

    Josh,
    What kind of errors are you getting? What version of Portal are you running?
    Please refer to the white paper Oracle9iAS Portal Export/Import.

  • Alternatives to content area pages? URGENT!!

    Hi...
    I am implementing a site in Portal with a static navbar on the
    left side with links to folders... this navbar will remain
    static, the content that changes is in the rigth side..
    If I make a new page from scratch, including the navbar and the
    content area as portlets, when I click on a link on the left,
    the page banner and the other portlets disappear, and appears
    the content area page..... I read that the only way you can keep
    that page appearance is to customize the content area page
    itself.
    Are there any other ways to do this? (not depending of the
    content area page??)
    Please, I need help ASAP!!

    Not in the current release. The next release of Portal, planned
    for early 2002, will make this a lot easier.

  • Portlets on Content Area Page

    We are currently using 3.0.8 and are trying to add a footer region to the content area page. So the page has a header in the top region, a navbar and folder portlet in the middle region, and a footer in the bottom region.
    When we put the footer in the bottom region on the content area page, it does not show up. If we move it to the middle region directly below the folder portlet, it shows up fine.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior, any workaround?

    We tried creating a page with only the folder portlet on it for the content area and trying to put another portlet below it. This still gives the same behavior.
    We also tried it in 3.0.9 and did not see the problem there.

  • Blank content area page - hide

    I created a form in Adobe Designer and my content area page is appearing as page 1 when I'm in PDF view - I've never had this happen and I can't delete or move the page (form MUST have one content area). It was interesting because I had 7 pages in my form - everything was fine until I decided to move page 7 to the top (becoming page 1) - from then on my content area page began appearing....any help out there on how i can "hide" this blank page?? Thanks! Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    I actually had to make the form work today, so unfortunately, I had to start over and not move any part around to make sure I didn't get the blank second page.
    Now, the client just notified me that they don't want email submissions so I am off to find out how to se tup teh HTTP side.
    Sorry I am not more help :-(

  • Export content areas

    Is there a way to export content areas in Portal 3.0 ?. I am looking for something similar to the Application export option.
    Thanks.

    Content area import/export scripts are located in the ORACLE_HOME/portal30/webdb30/admin/plsql/wwu directory. The scripts you are looking for are contexp and contimp. They are best used in conjunction with the other user and schema export scripts (ssoimp/exp) and secimp/exp) scripts in the same directory.

  • Difference between content area page and page

    Can someone point me to doc or tell me what is the difference
    between content area page created in Content Area Manager and
    the page created in create page tool ?
    I'm really confused.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Maggie

    Essentially they're the same.
    The CA page get's implicitly created when you create the CA
    because architecturally when we display content for you to work
    with we need a place to post the navigator portlet and the
    content portlet.
    In the next release this will change, there will be only one
    type of page, and you will be able to add content and/or
    portlets to it.

  • Diff between regular portal page and content area page?

    Hi.
    I have a content area page. Because I thought it would be nice to have "Edit Page" link on the page, I created a new portal page (yes, a portal page vs. a content area page).
    I created 2 regions.
    Region 1, portlet nav bar portlet from my content area.
    Region 2, root folder from my content area
    When I use the page, clicking on anything in the nav bar portlet takes me to a new page (my content area page), instead of updating the folder portlet on my new portal page.
    Is this by design?
    What the difference between a portal page and a content area folder?
    Thanks a bunch!
    Phillip

    Phillip,
    The two are indeed subtly different. The experts are on the content area forum but basically a content area page is designed to automatically provide easy navigation within a content area. This includes automatically "doing the right thing" for the navbar portlets.
    Note the links on the navbar portlet and their respective targets. They always target the content area page so that the navigation in a content area is seamless (i.e. the middle region updates w/ the current folder).

  • Apply template for content area page

    Does anybody know how i can apply a template
    for a content area page.
    I have to duplicate everything i did on the template to achive to same look and feel in the content area???????
    !@#$%*grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Harish,
    What are you trying to do?
    Are you using an unstructured UI template on your other pages, with release 3.0.8?
    If you are, you could put your presentation code in a stored procedure, and call the procedure within ORACLE tags from the template. For the CA page, call the procedure from a Dynamic Page, and display the Dynamic Page as a portlet on the CA page.
    In a future release we'll be combining portal and CA pages into a single entity, so we won't have these inconsistencies.

  • Folder Item displayed in content area page?

    Is it possible to display an item
    in the folder portlet area (to keep navigator bar).
    I want the homepage to keep being displayed with the folder portlet in the same place only showing items description.
    thanks for help.
    jean-noel

    It is the item type that controls whether you get that option. The way around it is to build a custom item type from the text type, then add a url attribute to it.
    This will give you the control you want.

    "Portal Content Area Builder" how to get rid of this page heading?
    Hi All
    I have created a Single page Website..??? by using folders.
    when a user click on any link that call a folder but not a page and that folder is displayed with the layout specified in "Content Area Page" however there is no such option available to change the Heading <Title>Page title</Title> for browsers so for every folder called it displays a Oracle defined Content area page title.
    "Portal Content Area Builder"
    Is there anywork around for this.
    Thanks.

    This problem is fixed in Release 2. There is no supported workaround in 3.0.

  • Exp/Imp content Area Portlet..?

    How to Exp/Imp "Content area folder published as a portlet" which reside in "WWSBR_SITEBUILDER_PROVIDER".
    Anybody from Oracle..?
    Thanks.
    Rakesh

    I assume you are using the 309 version of portal. It is possible to export out an entire content area or a page but not the granular items. By granular I mean just the folder in this context. If you wish to export/import the entire content area/page, you can run the pageexp/pageimp/contexp/contimp scripts which reside in the WWU directory.

  • Removing the Vertical scroll bar from the content area.

    Hello,
    Is there a way to remove the vertical scroll bar from the content area?
    I am trying to create a new light portal frame work.
    Everything works fine except that I see two vertical scroll bars, one from the content area and another from the page(frame).
    Thanks in advance.
    -Sudheer

    Hi
    There are a couple of ways in which to achieve this
    1) Try and make the content flat. What I mean by this is that the content area (when using the standard light framework) doesn't contain an iframe, meaning that the iview defined on the page has "EMBEDDED" isolation mode. This should mean that you only have one scrollbar (if the content extends past the size of the browser)
    2) If you need to make the iview URL isolation, then try and get the domain of the content to be of a similar domain to your portal server, i.e. your portal is portal.company.com and the content is content.company.com. In this way you can make the pages expand.
    NOTE: One thing to note is that when using URL isolation iviews doesn't allow the automatic expanding of the iframe content. This is because the standard javascript doesn't allow this. Therefore you may have to write your own javascript function (or content area page) to do this
    I hope this helps

  • The 'Edit folder' link doesn't appear in content area portlet (URGENT)

    Hi! I made three content areas, and published them as portlets in a page. However, when I enter the page as an authorized user, I don't see the 'Edit folder' link on any content area portlet. But if I enter to any of the content area pages with the same user, I see the link
    Is this a bug? What could be the reason?
    Thanks a lot!
    Luis

    try this...
    Edit the page where you added the portlets. Click the edit defaults link next to each of the portlets and scroll down to make sure the show Edit Link checkbox is checked. I don4t see any Edit Link checkbox when I edit the portlet's defaults!!
    What should it be?

  • Cannot publish a folder in my content area as a portlet

    All,
    Has anyone out there experienced or encountered the following problem depicted below. If yes, please let me know what you did or what steps/procedures you implemented to resolve this problem.
    1. Go to content area an click the "Edit Folder" link.
    2. Click the "Create Folder" link an select "container" as your folder type.
    3. Click the next button and enter your folder display name and internal name. Leave the Category combo box as is General).
    4. Click the finish button.
    5. Edit the new folder.
    6. Under the "Portlet Properties" section, set the "publish as portlet" checkbox.
    7. Click the "Apply" or "Ok" button.
    When I click the "apply" or "Ok" button, I receive the following error message:
    Error: (WWS-00000)
    Copyright) 2001, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved
    Location: PORTAL30.wwv_main.main?p_language=us&p_cornerid=11470&p_edit=1&p_siteid=35&p_currcornerid=11470&p_calledfrom=1
    I then click the "back" link on this error page that takes me back to the folder properties page. When I click the "apply" or "ok" button again, I am taken back to my content area page, which is the normal way for this process to work.
    When I try adding a "URL" item to this folder, I get a blank page after hitting OK.
    Next, I then try to add this folder as a portlet on my page. This folder portlet does not appear in portlet repository.
    I subsequently go to the portlet repository and click the "refresh" link. I again encounter the following error message:

    Oracle support is currently working on this problem through metalink. But, if anyone out there has encountered this problem and had it resolved, can you please forward your solution to me.
    This is very urgent.

    In the Catalog, select the folder for the report(s) you want to update in the Folders pane. It should then appear in the Tasks pane (bottom left) with some options.
    Select 'Permissions' and make sure that 'Hidden' attribute is unchecked. That worked for me.
    There's also a 'Show Hidden Items' check box at the top right of the Catalog area that should be checked to view the filters in the Catalog area (rather than when ediiting a report).
