How to propagate webcenter portal 11.1.1.6.0

I setup two domain for testing propagation with Oracle WebCenter propagation toll. This is the configuration of two domains:
The first domain:
- domain name: staging_domain
- 1 clustered with two managed servers: portal application and portlet will deployed to here
- other managed servers: wc_utilities, wc_portlet will not be used to deploy
The second domain:
-domain name: test_domain
- no clustered, only one managed server created to deploy portlet and portal application
- other managed servers are the same as first domain
Two domains use different database servers.
I setup ADF Url connection on first domain to connect to AdminServer of second domain, and try to propagate as mentioned here (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_lifecycle.htm#CACFBCAI)
But when I click propagate button, the error pop-up occurred:
An error occurred while creating the label and propagating changes to the target server "http://server57:7001"
Expected RemoteException, RuntimeException, or Error but received: 'java.io.IOException: RJVM has already been shutdownWhat step I had missed ? I think I complete steps on documentation.
Thank in advance.

I just spend 6 hours at work, with no luck, managed to downgrade it, atleast jsf wise, but i got tons of errors every time i fix one. I should not mention the design mixup, just functionalities.
The next version will support the old versions of BI, Webcenter, EM etc or it will come along with new versions?
And did you hear how soon will be out? alteast in how many weeks to know what will be my next move.
thanks.

How to shorten WebCenter Portal URL

Hi everyone.
I'm developing webcenter portal application and I face to problem with unfriendly URL. Previously, I can use URL compression and URL template on WebLogic Portal. But, when switch to WebCenter Portal, I cannot found any solution to compress/shorten the URL. So that, many problems occured with very very long URL (larger than maximum limit filepath of filesystem, larger than 1024 character). So, have you ever tried to do it ? Can you give me some instruction ?
Any suggestion is appreciated :)
Regards.
Cuong Pham

As far as I know, there is no real solution. Oracle ADF uses the parameters that are part of the URL.

How can I customize the whole oracle webcenter portal

I tried using extending webcenter spaces project but my build.xml has an error in clicking clean-stage. I followed the instructions correctly but still not working.

It assumes that you have this file available in your jdev
${jdeveloper.install.home.directory}/modules/net.sf.antcontrib_1.0.0.0_1-0b2/lib/ant-contrib.jar
Add ant-contrib.jar into jdeveloper\modules\net.sf.antcontrib_1.0.0.0_1-0b2\lib directory. You can download it from http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/.

How to use ADF application functionality in Webcenter Portal

Hi,
We have an separate ADF application with bunch of functionality that are been using in others applications.We have to use these functionality in the WebCenter portal.
In this ADF application, each jspx page used for implementing different functionality(for example Calendar for one page, subscriptions for one page like that) and there are no bounded task flow used.
Challenge here is, need to some how import the ADF application as reusable component (section) and yet to use different functionality (I mean accessing each jspx page)
So, what are the ways we can utilize these ADF functionality in WebCenter portal? Let me know your thoughts?
Any help really appreciated.
Thanks,
San.

All,
if you have WebCenter in place the best way is to use the ADF portlet bridge. You can create portlet entries at design time in JDev on each JSPX as well as on any TaskFlow definition (right click as mentioned above). That's quite convenient if you stay in the WebCenter / ADF world. You'll get the standalone as well as the portletized application so the standalone version will still be working. Mind that if you portletize an ADF Application you need to deploy it in a portlet runtime. That means you need to extend your ADF container with the portlet runtime. That requires a WebCenter license for the server since the portlet runtime is a part of the WebCenter product stack.
In respect of SSO, after deploying your Portlet Producer App you'll get WSRP Webservices on application level for which you can apply OWSM policies (Enterprise Manager) so the identity of the portal will be propagated to the Portlet Producer App. Details can be found on WebCenter Portal Developer's Guide.
Just to let you know that these portlets can be only consumed on Oracle's portals (be that WebCenter or Oracle Portal 11g). That's caused by some Oracle specific WSRP additions to the ADFPortlet Bridge.
Jiri, what do you mean with "enhance it with portal features"? Oracle's portlet aproach is fully based on WSRP, means decoupling. So you cannot add portal features to the portlet. Everything has to be packed in request and response. There's no direct access to portal /portlet resources to interact with.

How to create custom template for webcenter portal application

Hi,
I created webcenter portal application in my jdev using the webcenter portal application template provided by the webcenter framework.
I tried to create custom template for my application by following steps:
1. Created new application using webcenter portal application template with all default package structure.
2. Right click pagetemplates folder under webcontent package and select new option.
3. New gallery opens up.
4. Selected JSF under webtier and JSF Page Template under items in the right hand side and clicked Ok button.
5. New wizard opens up for creating new JSF page template.
6. Gave template name(file name) and Page Template Name(template def name).
7. Selected checkbox staing start a Quick Start Layout and selected three column layout and selected Ok.
8. Selected checkbox for Create Associated ADFm Page Defination(so that page templates can be changes at run time).
9. Created some Facet Definations (header, footer, content1, content2, LHN, RHN).
10. Clicked Ok button which will create custom template.
11. Added some Panel Group Layout component from Component Palette.
12. Created new page (.jspx) with this template.
Now when I try to add producer portlets created using Producer Portlet application template and connected to the above application using WSRP2.0, I'm facing problem.
The prolem is that I'm not able to add more than one portlet in one single page?
Kindly let me know whether the steps followed by me is wrong some where and needs to corrected and let me know how I can add more than one portlet to page?
Basically I cant see more than one placeholders in my page to add portlets.

Thanks Yannick.
In the step 9 I had mentioned that I created various facet definations (header, footer, content, content1 RHN and LHN).
Is this is not facet you are talking about or should I drop facet ref from the resource palette?
Can't I add moer than one portlet to my page at design time itself?
Annoying since in weblogic portal we do this at design time(.portal).

How to read xml file present in the UCMS from webcenter portal application

Hi,
I'm new to webcenter portal and would like to know how to read an xml file which is present in UCMS 11g(contributors folder) from webcenter portal application.
Thanks in advance

I guess I had mentioned that I want to read it via my webcenter portal app rather than login to ucms and searching it via url.
I want text labels and button names being stored in the xml file which I'm going to keep in the UCMS.
After reading that from the xml will be placed at appropriate locations like the button values and label feilds, so that we dont need to deploy entire app for this kind of simple changes.
Now can anyone provide some help with the api's related to this?

How to integrate Events from Siebel application to Oracle Webcenter portal

Hi
We have a requirement where one application resides in Siebel and the poral is running on Oracle Webcenter Portal. Here we want to see the events/appointment which are created in Siebel Application, should be visible in Oracle Webcenter Portal's calendar as soon as user logs in. It is a Hospital portal, and appointments are created in Siebel Application and when Doctor logs in to portal (running on Oracle webcenter portal), user should be able to see them on his Calendar/event.
Please help me how to go ahead with it.
Regards,
Sid

Hi All,
Not sure that I agree with my friend Yannick on this. I think that you can change to point to a different DBMS. You might be able to do this by reconfiguring the Siebel server and give SQL Server as your DBMS and then give the correct SQL connect into. At worst case I think you can change the server data source named subsystem. You will need to change the DLL name and well as the connect info. If the reconfiguration does not work your best bet would be to compare the settings from your server data source for Oracle to a known good server data source for SQL Server.
BTW, why would you make this change? As a database Oracle can’t be beat. 11g is incredible.

How to deploy jsr168 war file into Webcenter Portal

I want to intergated a jsr168 war file with Web Center Portal. I only install WebCenter Portal without JDeveloper and Content. So how should I deploy it?
Thank you!
Regards,
Jugela

You have the weblogic domain right ? Opent the enterprise manager in browser by hitting the below url -
http://<Admin Server address>:<port>/em
login with credentials.
From deployments end,you can install the war file which will targeted to WC_Portlet server.
After that register the portlet WSRP url with your application and use it.
The above suggest is without the intervention of jdeveloper /webcenter.

How to migrate application to webcenter portal application

Hi, I am interested in turning a fusion web application to a webcenter portal app to utilize features such as navigation models, resource manager, and catalogs, etc.
section 8.2.1 of webcenter development guide indicates that "migrating a non-portal webcenter application to a webcenter portal application is not supported" - but perhaps possible with tedious manual steps.
Has anyone ever tried such feat? if not, what could be the steps/considerations involved, any suggestions? (and what about doing this the other way around? - i.e., create new app from webcenter portal template and then import projects from non-portal one)
Thanks and regards,
Joe

you are right. we actually experimented with deploying one project in the fusion app as shared ADF lib to be consumed in a new portal app, which works out well. but then the challenge is that the fusion app already has 50+ projects - it'd be more conforming if there's a way to reliably bring in all webcenter features to a new project under the same fusion app.
I am thinking for whatever "webcenter portal application template" prescribes jdeveloper to do when a new application based on such template is created, if we can manually perform the exact steps from the jdeveloper gui, we should end up with the same portal project, unless some items are not exposed in ui but are programmatic outputs?. (I guess some part of this consideration is jdeveloper specific)
Learning how the webcenter portal template (or others in general) was created in the first place might be helpful as well.

Hi Shaeer,
Make sure that you dont have same port numbers on both servers.
If it then try to avoid them.
Secondly also check nodemanager log server log to verify why it went to shutdown mode.
