Pulling Data in Portal Content Management DB from Documentum

Is there a way to get data in the portal content management database directly from documentum? We have documentum as one of multiple content management source in our environment.
What we want to do is that whenever anything is published in documentum, the weblogic portal content management database gets that same data through a pull or push service.
Can this be configured in portal content management or do we need to write our own java based service which polls documentum on a regular basis, gets the data from it and enters it in BEA content management database.
The data migration from documentum to weblogic portal db has to be transparent to the user and no user interaction should be required to accomplish it.
Thanks
Michelle

Hi,
To my knowledge there is no tool to propagate content from DCTM to BEA. What it is available is the CM SPI integration which links the DCTM system to the Virtual Content Repository in the Portal. It works with the DCTM Content Server as well as the Caching server. The integration works very well and we have several joint customers using it.
If you feel like exploring options you may want to see if there is a way to export the data from DCTM. If so you might be able to use the Bulkloader to get data into the portal.

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

Default Node in Portal Content

Hi,
Is there any way i cud set a particular folder as my default node, so that when i click the content administration tab on the TLN , it should load this path as a default.
PortalConent
     >MyFolder_1
        >MyFolder_2
           >My_Dir.
This helps when there is a huge list of nodes and is a pain each time to click all the nodes to go to my working folder..
Thanks in advance for any hints

Hi Peter,
there is no possibility at the moment to mark a folder as default in the Portal Content Catalog. What you could do, is to use a "_" in front on the NAME of the folder (and not the only the ID), so that it comes up at the front of the folders list.
Hope this helps,
Robert

Srm-catalog portal content

hi!
does anybody know what is the special content that SRMMDMCAT01_0.sca have?
different iViews?
if i'm implementing srm-portal-mdm-r3 it's necessary?
because i'm not using all the srm catalog, and only installed the mdm portal content, i'll have some problems?
thanx

The purpose of SRM-MDM is to use MDM as the catalog. You would store the data in MDM and SRM will then reference MDM ad-hoc. As part of the implementation, SAP delivers a webdynpro application which is deployed on a Netweaver Java stack, and that's what the user uses to search the catalog. The two applications (iViews) are called SearchUI and AdminUI. If you aren't going to use these, how are you planning on searching the catalog from SRM?

How to change Portal Content by date?

Dear Colleagues,
We have the following requirement, a user must be able to change the content (news, the content of iviews, other info) of the portal start page(a custom developed framework page for the external portal) by selecting a date in the calendar.
If you have any ideas or you've already worked on such a solution, please share your thoughts.
Sincerely,

Venkatesan
Please do the following step by step.
1. Logon as administrator to your portal.
2. Go to Content Administration. In the option portal content right click to get the option New -> Iview.
3. Select the option SAP Web dynpro Iview in the list of Iviews and give the respective properties.
Is your WD component fetching data from backend. If yes create system before creating the Iview. To create system search for "Portal Integration of the Web Dynpro Application" on help.sap.com and you will get the exact steps.
Do assign points if this helps.
Please award points if this helps.

Error in loading Portal Content with IE

Hi,
I have some problems with customization of Sap Portal, maybe someone can help me
with some informations.
I am using Sap Netweaver Portal 7.0 with IE 6.0.2900 SP2 and Mozzila Mozilla/5.0.
When I try to display Content Administration -> Portal Catalog with IE I have one
error(after a long period of "Loading..."):
Error: Object required - and the Portal Content is not displayed at all .
In this way, I don't have acces to Portal Content with IE.
I also tried with other browsers (Opera, Netscape, Lotus) but there is the
same issue.
In Firefox, the Portal Content it's displayed, but there is another issue:
I open a Role object and I try to Edit it's properties: these aren't displayed
in the right corner of the screen. I checked in the Error Console of Firefox
and there is a JS err: event is not defined: error in roleeditor.js
In this way I am not able to handle any issue regarding Portal Content.
Maybe some of you, guys, had this problem or have any idea about solving it.
Thanks.

Yes, the error appears when you access the portal with the IP address which should not be the approach.
Use the domain name instead ... i.e hostname.domain.com:portnumber.

Portal content in Arabic for limited users

Hello Colleagues
We are about to implement ESS on EP.In our backend system ECC 6.0 data is available in English.
Our client requirement is that for certain users Portal content should be available in Arabic.I have gone through some threads in which we can change the Portal language to Arabic for all with Portal Translation .But my question is whether it is feasible for limited users as rest of users will access Portal in English.
Best Regards

Hi,
Based on the Language set on UME standard things will change in portal. To translate your Custom application language in Portal then follow the below link and translate it manually . So that only users with Arabic language set can see portal in Arabic Language.

XML Form - Link open in Portal Content Area

I have created an XML form which displays a list of images as links to KM documents (eg a Read More... link).
The problem I have run into is that any link that you click on opens up in a new window.
Is there a setting somewhere that indicates that all links should be opened in the portal content area, rather than in a new window?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Kind Regards
Rasim

Rasim,
You can try doing this.
Logon to Portal.
Click Personalize option on the top left corner and choose work protect mode.
Choose "Discard unsaved data (open page in same window)"
Save and Exit.
Logoff and relogin and check.
Hope this helps.

Bug in Config Data Source Parameter on Content presenter

Hi all,
I find out a bug when we configure Data Source parameter on Content Presenter at run-time.
Example:
I configure the value for Data Source is:
${'SELECT * FROM ora:t:IDC:Profile:TinbaiProfile WHERE ora:p:xmNgayxuatban < TIMESTAMP \''}${pageFlowScope.utilsBean.strCurrentDate}${'\''}
and Data Source Type: Query Expression
Then Click OK to save my configuration and close the popup
After that I came back the Component Properties: Content presenter dialog to configure more parameter. And I saw the value in the Data Source is:
SELECT * FROM ora:t:IDC:Profile:TinbaiProfile WHERE ora:p:xmNgayxuatban < TIMESTAMP ''}${pageFlowScope.utilsBean.strCurrentDate}${''
If I do anything else and click Apply or OK, it will alert the error message "Error: Error Parsing..."
It's really a bug of this component. I known it happen from version 11.1.1.6.0 and hope the next version it will be fixed. But now is version 11.1.1.8.0 this bug still here .
In my opinion Oracle should do more and more for a good produce with high value as $ for buying their produces and services
Thanks!

Thanks DanielMerchán!

Howto setup portal content folder path?

we want to deploy our par-file (portlet archive) into the portal catalog folder path
/portal_content/other_vendors/every_user/com.name.etc.etc.par
How to setup this path so that the par-file is correctly build and deployed to this path?
The path can be seen with the Portal Content Inspector inside the NetWeaver portal.

Hi,
A par file is not being deployed into the pcd, it is being deployed to the server.
You can then build an iView based on this par anywhere you want within the portal_content folder.

URL iView content translation not working using Portal Content Traslation

Hi All,
I am using Portal Content Translation to translate text of URL iView from English to Spanish. I am unable to do so. I have followed the below mentioned link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/74/641640b7b6dd5fe10000000a155106/frameset.htm
I have used Content Admin -> Portal Content Translation -> Translation Worlist Coordination to:
1) Generate worklist and add content
2) Generte translation data
3) Release for translation
After this, I am using Content Admin -> Portal Content Translation -> Worklist Translation for following:
1) Load worklist for translation
2) Translate worklist
I am facing difficulty in Translate Worklist. The step by step method followed by me are as below:
I am clicking on Content Admin -> Portal Content Translation -> Worklist Translation.
I am searching Translation Worklist and selecting my Worklist
After this I am selecting following
Source Language - English
Target Language - Spanish
Then I am clicking on 'Load for Translation' button. New screen appears. In this screen, Translatable Text table is shown:
It shows following
Number
Source Text <EN>
Target Text <ES>
Status
Object ID
In Status I can see 'Not Translated'. I click on Next for three times as there are three line Number (0, 1 & 2)
The Status does not change. It remains 'Not Translated'.
When I am using following combination
Source Language - Raw Texts
Target Language - Raw Texts.
I click on Next for three times as there are three line Number (0, 1 & 2). The status changes to Translated.
I do not know what is going wrong with my process while selecting Source Language - English & Target Language - Spanish .
I have another question. I have to translate content of entire URL iView. How I can change the whole content of URL iView.
In the source text I can NOT see the contents of URL iView.
Thanks
Stuart

Hi Prakash,
Did you check whether the translation has been done completely in PCD inspector? Some times you would have translated using Portal translation but it will not be written in the locale of the iView property. Then we have to set it manually in the PCD inspector.
Follow the procedure.
1. navigate to System Administration -> Support -> Portal Content Directory -> PCD Inspector
This will open the PCD inspector.
2. "Browse Into" the iview where you have developed it.
3. Click on the "All Props" for the iView which you need to translate.
This will open the Properties in new window
4. Check the property "com.sap.portal.pcm.title" what is maintained in Chinese? if it still displaying in English text against Chinese, Then you need to Edit the property for chinese and have to give the actual chinese word.
Note : I hope you would have selected "Raw Text" for Source language and "Chinese" as Target language. Pls confirm on this.
Thanks,
Mahendran B.

Usability of the Portal Studio Catalog & Knowledge Exchange...

Just wanted to say:
Usability of the Portal Studio Catalog in a word:
SUX.
Browsing the catalog is incredibly tedious on a corporate LAN; can't imagine how impossible it would be on any slower speed connection: Click. Wait. Click. Wait. Click. Wait.
The Knowledge Exchange, in a word:
ISN'T.
And, while I'm getting this off my chest, I am SICK AND TIRED of having to enter my password 15 times a session. If my network/machine is cookie-friendly enough for your system to remember my username, why can't you manage to retain my password when I go from one page to another??
Sheesh.
And, the reason I'm submitting this complaint here, and not in the elusive Feedback section, is because it's too dam' hard to get to!!!
Has Oracle EVER once run a Usability Study on its website(s)???
Sheri

Hiya, Mohana, and thanks for the response!
Have you checked the browser setting (if using IE, check Internet Options, Security tab, and if you have Custom setting, verify settings like the Userdata Persistence and User Authentication.) I've added portalstudio.oracle.com and otn.oracle.com to my list of trusted (!!) internet sites. However, I'm on a US Army intranet, so there's a limit as to what I can change WRT security. I've already established with one of your managers that there are some issues with our firewalls and your site. For example, I can't view the monthly developer's newsletters from work, inside the firewall... but when I go home and login to Oracle via my cable modem, I can see the newsletters just fine.
Your problem with performance (click and wait) also seems to be stemming from a configuration issue - I'm specifically talking about the catalog tree structure. You click on the little (+) signs, wait wait wait, and get a teensy bit of info. Then click again to see a teensy bit more info. Soon the whole screem is full. So, you have to click on the (-) signs to compress the open parts of the tree. The page is slow to load, regardless of the time of day. I admit, pages on the internet can sometimes load slowly at lunchtime hereabouts, but for most of the day that's not at all a problem. Nor do I have this problem with other pages on the oracle.com site. Just the catalog. There's simply got to be a more efficient, faster way to display this tree and its content.
Regarding the Knowledge Exchange, I'd be happy to know what exactly are the issues you're facing in using the KE. Did you try downloading any contributions or uploading your own? First of all, it's darn hard to find anything to download on the KE. Yes, the top five items of the day are simple. But, there's no organized catalog of offerings that I can find. Deep digging is required.
Uploading something?? Hah. I'm no Java programmer. I can readily massage existing code to make it do what I want, and I have PL/SQL Developer, which is a very neat and easy-to-use program. However, I wasn't able to figure out how to get the PDK working in 90 minutes of trying--and gave up in frustration; I have slews of content to put up!! Too, our Lab development staff wasn't able to get PDK working, either, and they ARE programmers and DBMs.
And, while I've got your much-appreciated attention, we're still on Rel 1, and it is very difficult and time-consuming to navigate thru. We have Rel 2 sitting in the Lab, ready to install, however, the report from the Lab team yesterday is the benefits of Rel 2 are not worth the effort of installation. "It's too buggy, not to mention there's a lot of vaporware: promise of functionality that won't really be available until the next release in March 2003."
I tell you, I wanted to cry when I heard that. Can you give me any ammo to contradict that opinion??
And, if there's a Oracle front-end developer's List out there anywhere like the HTML Webmonster List, I would dearly love to know where to join!!
One final point: the path links in the gray bars in the Oracle Discussion Forums are not coded properly. Look at the top of my first message where it says:
Products > Portal > Performance and Scalability
Click on any of those words; doesn't matter. You SHOULD go back up the path a level or two. But instead, you stay on the same page. Might as well click Refresh/Reload. The path links in the red bar at the top of the page work fine:
Oracle Technology Network > Collaboration > My Forums
They take you up the path. Just not in the gray bar.

How to Open Portal Content by navigating Content Admin ?

Hi All,
I have developed WD Component and like to integrate the same with Netweaver Portal. How Do I achieve this.
I am a beginner to EP Development.
In one of the document, it says " Open the Portal Content Studio by navigating to Content Adminstration -> Portal Content".
I am using 2004s Full Java Edition downloaded from SDN.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Please do the following step by step.
1. Logon as administrator to your portal.
2. Go to Content Administration. In the option portal content right click to get the option New -> Iview.
3. Select the option SAP Web dynpro Iview in the list of Iviews and give the respective properties.
Is your WD component fetching data from backend. If yes create system before creating the Iview. To create system search for "Portal Integration of the Web Dynpro Application" on help.sap.com and you will get the exact steps.
Do assign points if this helps.
Please award points if this helps.
