That's right. You should login as portal.
1. on Builder Page/ Administer tab, here you should be seeing page arranged into three columns. The central column will have three portlets and the top one should be this. This is the default arrangement. if you do not see it, then portal permissions seems to have been modified or the portlet has been removed from the page.
2. The other way I told you is the alternate method to reach the same tool going directly through SSO server page.
3. There is another way to get this: by adding this portlet into this page. For that, edit the page, and click the icon for add portlets in the top central columnar region. Now search for 'SSO Server Administration' in the search box. If the privileges are not modified, then you should be able to see it. Include it in that page.

none of this worked!
I think it works that's how you get (NOT got) access to the Add External Application tool. It was all meant to give you access to the tool.
However, the tool couldnt do what you wanted to.
you may want to check permissions for portal which seem messed up. you should be able to login to SSO server page using portal. You seem to have no privilege for it. It did not work for portal but worked for ORCLADMIN. That is why you cannot see the portlet on the builder/administer page too.
regards,
AMNTHIS IS INCORRECT.
no portlet was added or modified. I was able to get to my 'SSO Server Administration' by way of http://<server>.<domain>:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.home and logged in as ORCLADMIN.
It's not to claim a credit; it is to describe a valid method. I do not wish to waste time on personal claims or disclaims.
If you haven't read my message completely then you may be right.
I wish you good luck in finding a solution.
AMNthen you dont know how to incorporate this product into portal?
who does know?

How can i add more than one portlet description in my provider.xml

I already tested MyFirstPortlet developed using JPDK and is working fine.I add one more portlet description in the same provider.xml. But the new portlet is not getting displayed under the provider when i try to add it in my page.
null

Abdulla,
I just want to verify that I understand your question. You successfully created "MyFirstPortlet" using the JPDK, now you are trying to add a second portlet using the provider.xml file and it does not show up in the Add Portlets Screen when trying to add the new portlet to a page.
This could be one of many different problems.
1) Make sure that you added it to the provider.xml file correctly. You should have two portlets within one provider within the file. For example (note only displaying tags, content missing):
<provider class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.http.DefaultProvider" session="true">
<portlet class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.http.DefaultPortlet" version="1" >
<id>1</id>
</porltet>
<portlet class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.http.DefaultPortlet" version="1" >
<id>2</id>
</porltet>
</provider>
Notice above that i have two portlet open/close tags within a single provider.
2) Make sure that the location of this file is the one listed in zone.properties.
3) Make sure you stop and restart your listener to accept the changes of the provider.xml file.
4) Login to Portal as an Administrator and go to the Administration page of Portal. Click on Administer, then click on "Display Portlet Repository". Click on Refresh at the top right of the page to retrieve the changes to the provider.xml file. Scroll down to the myfirstprovider and you should now see the new portlet you added.
Hope this helps,
Sue

Diff. btw. Region edit controls and provider.xml controls on rendering portlet UI

hi,
Apologize if this has been asked already.
What are the differences if any between -
- controlling the display of portlet header/border in the provider.xml file (containerRenderer set to false)
V/S
- controlling in the page edit mode (edit defaults) and uncheck the "display banners/borders" for the portlets at the region level.
Appreciate it if anyone can explain any subtle differnces if they exist, or if they complement/overide each other. I am planning to set the containerRenderer to false to show them programmatically.

I'm using VS 2013 Coded UI Test Builder trying to add some new recorded elements to an existing window. The top level window that the coded ui test builder generated had to be modified since the title changes depending on the contents in a form. I've tried
different ways to identify it but the simplest that seems to work looks like this (basically eliminated the name and just search for the winform name):
public class UICustomerWindow: WinWindow
public UICustomerWindow()
#region Search Criteria
this.SearchProperties[WinWindow.PropertyNames.ControlName] = "frmCustomerMaintenance";
#endregion
Like I said, this works in all the tests automated already and the coded ui test builder can find it if I click the refresh button. The problem occurs when I try to add any new element or exiting element. The UI builder likes to ignore all the previous recordings
for that UI map and add a completely new top level window and elements in that window:
public class UIViewEditCustomerDURGWindow : WinWindow
public UIViewEditCustomerDURGWindow()
#region Search Criteria
this.SearchProperties[WinWindow.PropertyNames.Name] = "View/Edit Customer DURGAN, KENYON";
this.SearchProperties.Add(new PropertyExpression(WinWindow.PropertyNames.ClassName, "WindowsForms10.Window", PropertyExpressionOperator.Contains));
this.WindowTitles.Add("View/Edit Customer DURGAN, KENYON");
#endregion
Is there something I'm missing or this just a limitation of the Coded UI Test Builder? BTW, if more info is needed, let me know and I can probably provide it since its all dummy data.

When changing parameters in a disco workbook portlet provider refresh fail

Hi,
When changing input parameters in a discoverer workbook the automatic portlet provider refresh routine fails.
We have published a report in Discoverer portal using portlet provider.
When we change a parameter in the discoverer workbook and save it, then the automatic refresh of portlet with information about the parameters that are not recognized.
Is it so that the portlet will be invalid and due to the workbook / work sheet parameter change. ?
And the solution is then to create a new portlet? Or is it a bug?
Have someone had this kind of issue?
NOTE: We ar using Discoverer Plus 10.1.2.54.25 and the server installation is Oracle Application Server Installation Guide10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

Frode

Michael,
There are no issues with your provider.xml. Let me explain the
ideal situations where SSO feature of URL-based portlets will
work -
1. FORM based authentication :
User information is submitted to the secure application through
HTML FORM and the application as a response sends Cookies to the
client. These cookies are stored by the client will be used as
authentication tokens from then on.
URL-based portlets work in a similar fashion where in Cookies are
extracted by the provider (URLProvider) and the portlets make
use of the stored cookies while sending a request.
2. BASIC authentication :
Its a simple and less secure authentication mechanism than FORM based
authentication. User credentials are Base64 encoded and are sent
over network to the secure application.
Having said this, it is important to know if your FORUM application
relies on cookies or not.

Title and header in provider.xml

Hi
We changed the portlet title and portlet name in provider.xml file. After the portlet repository has been refreshed we could see the changes in the repository. But on the pages where the portlets already exists it does not show the change. If we reate a new instance of the portlet to a page, the new
name is reflected.Restarting the apache( and jserv) did not make any difference. Any more changes or refresh we need to carry out?.
In case it helps
There are 2 tables called WWPOB_PORTLET_INSTANCE$, WWPOB_PORTLET_INSTANCE_FLAT$. Each of these tables has a name column that does not
appear to reflect the new name of the portlet for the records that existed before the provider.xml changed.
Thanks

When existing instances of a portlet are rendered, the title is taken from the stored customization for that instance, not from the portal. The title you specify in the provider.xml is an initial value that can be overridden

I want to assign values to input parameters in provider.xml

The following is cut from the provider.xml file for the exchange inbox portlet:
<inputParameter class="oracle.portal.provider.v1.URLPortletParameter">
<name>Mailbox</name>
<isMandatory>true</isMandatory>
<displayName>Mailbox alias:</displayName>
</inputParameter>
The value that is expected from our Exchange server equals the user's username in Portal so I'd like this value to be assigned programatically instead of making the user key this in once more. Is there a way of doing this in the provider.xml file?

Hi Henning,
You can do this in Oracle9iAS Portal 3.0.9 by the following:
1. Extend the oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.RenderManager class with your_class.
2. Override the getPageUrlFromRequest(PortletRenderRequest pr, int debugLevel) method in you renderer class. In the overridden method, modify the pageUrl value to replace the value of a parameter named "Mailbox" in the with the value returned by the newValue = pr.getUser().getName().
Do something like this:
String pageUrl = pr.getQualifiedParameter(UrlServicesUtils.PAGE_URL);
//In this string find the value of the parameter "Mailbox" and then replace it with the value of pr.getUser().getName().
3. Now modify the provider.xml by replacing the showPage class to your_class, something like:
<showPage class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.http.URLRenderer">
to
<showPage class="your_package.your_class.class">
4. Place your your_class.class file in your_oc4j_home\j2ee\home\applications\jpdk\jpdk\WEB-INF\classes directory.
Thanks,

Is provider.xml mandatory?

Hi there,
I'm looking through some source code developed elsewhere and it doesn't seem to have a provider.xml file included with the source code.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to the app. server to see where this code has been deployed.
My question is, can a j2ee application run as a portlet within an Oracle Portal Release 1 environment (on an oc4j instance) without a provider.xml file? My guess is no, but I want to confirm that.
Thanks,
Aidan

Aidan,
Theoretically it's possible, but very unlikely. (The PDK allows you to create a new ProviderLoader class and use that instead of the DefaultProviderLoader.)

I found unsolved forum with the same problem on Metalink: Doc
ID: 57590.996
How can I solve this problem?
Is it possible to add external application to portal as a
portlet without creatin a Portlet Provider?
Thanks,
Tomaz Podbersic

Tom,
A Connection timeout normally means that it is a valid
host.domain, but the listener was down or it could not access
that port.
You say that you can reach the URL, is it on the same domain?
Do you need a proxy to contact it. Can the Portal Machine see
it okay?

HTML vs. XML

which is better for web and java use? programmers please vote:
1. html
2. xml

well, they are not easy comparable... if you only want to embed some applets in a web page HTML is enough. If you need more complex interactions between your java programs and the web maybe xml would fit better.
If you ask it because you want to learn one of the two (HTML or XML) i would begin with HTML which is easier, and then if you need something that HTML cannot provide, try to learn XML.

Portlet Provider Update

Currently, in-order to add a JSP portlet to a provider (lets call it X) we add a new ID and the file name to the provider.xml file. Provider X is then deleted off the Portlet Repository, which deletes off all the portlets on all the pages that where contained in provider X. Then we add a new provider, calling it the same name, to the Portlet Repository. Then we have to add all the portlets back onto the pages. Refreshing provider X does not add the new portlet to the list. Any ideas why?

Once you delete your provider, all instances of its portlets (and their customizations) are removed from their respective pages. The provider is the only way the portal can talk to portlets. Once the provider is gone, the portlets are as well.
fyi - Each portlet instance has a unique identifier independant of its name or its provider's name.

Virtual Host change doesnt update discoverer portlet provider image locatio

We have recently created a virtual host for our oracle portal. Original was CUKPORTAL.cseu.root.local and the new virtual hosts created were bi.portal.uk (bi tier) my.portal.uk and sso.portal.uk (for IMT).
All pages, images , portlets were updated to reflect the new URL's except for the discoverer portlet provider. Actually , it works fine except for the lcoation of the portlets reference to the original icons for the list of worksheets portlet. When we see the page source behind the html page where the portlet is on , I can see that the images (like the expand workbook image) , still reference the old URL ie CUKPORTAL.cseu.root.local:7780.....etc
We have re-registered the provider with the new URL , ie bi.portal.uk:7779 etc but although the portlets can be called and placed in pages , the images do not appear as a result of the location to the images.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the last problem before we go live.

Hi,
Its good that u pasted the complete log file. In your environment you have to run this upgrade tool only once from any of the middle tier.
And with respect to your error that u got in precheck is quite simple. All u have to do is just run this script from by connecting to portal schema using sqlplus.
Run dropupg.sql
Location-------- /raid/product/OraHome_1/upgrade/temp/portal/prechktmp/dropupg.sql
Later you re-run the upgrade tool and let me know the status.
Good luck

How to change the background color only for one HTML-Portlet?

Hi all,
I have created a HTML-Portlet in my root-page. The root page have a style: Main-Style.
I want to change the background-color only for this one HTML-Portlet:
<html>
<header><title>Test</title></header>
<body bgcolor="#999999">
Test
</body>
</html>
But this does not work...
When I use the CSS, then it will change the background-color for the root-page too.
Thans
Leonid Pavlov

could you try this
<table bgcolor="#999999">
<tr>
<td>
test
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I don't think you need <html><header><title>Test</title></header>
<body></body></html> for your HTML-Portlet.

How to Include html tag in xml

Hi,
Is there any way to include html tags in xml?
For Example, I'm using xsl to get the value of FIELD_1 from fetch.xml
In fetch.xml, I have the tag
<FIELD_1>
<font color='#8080ff'> <font face='Times New Roman, Times' size='28'>Testing font and color</font></font>
</FIELD_1>
But If I tried to read the value from xsl like <xsl:value-of select="FIELD_1"/> I'm just gettig the display 'Testing font and color' without the specified font and color....
How to achieve this?
Thanks
Selva.

Hi,
Thanks for the input.
I tried with the below code
<fo:block space-after="5mm" font-family="Arial"><xsl:copy-of select="FIELD_1"/></fo:block>
But I'm getting the below error...
"An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xa0) was found in the element content of the document."
Below is the code included in the xsl....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">

Is there any mistakes in the above code?

Error when registering a portlet provider

I got the following error when registering a new portlet provider:
An error occurred when attempting to call the providers register function. (WWC-43134)
The following error occurred during the call to Web provider: 301: Moved Permanently (WWC-43147)
May I know what I may have done wrong?
I was able to open the portlet provider page by itself
Thanks

Can you double check whether the provider node is accessible from the portal middle tier (ping)?
