IBM Cognos 8 BI Integration with Weblogic portal

Hi,
In our project we need to integrate IBM Cognos 8 BI portlets with Weblogic portal 10.3.
1. How to integrate Cognos ?
2. How to enable SSO between Portals & Cognos? Cognos should use the portal users credentials for authentication
Please share me some useful links and sample code to proceed.
Thanks & regards,
Rajesh

Basically I am saying that your options are
1. Screenscraping the apps into portlets
2. Using SSO to login to the apps, but keepin them separate
3. Using Web Services to consume parts of the apps and exposing those as portlets
For our application we do 2 and 3. In many cases we just create portlets that represents views into other j2ee apps. When the users click on something, we launch the j2ee app in a popup browser. The users are already signed on, and taken to a specific detail page, add page or something within the app directly.
Hope this helps.

Chat Integration with WebLogic Portal 10.3

Hello Friends,
For one of my pre sale account, I am suppose to propose a chat integration with Oracle WebLogic Portal 10.3.
I was wondering if one can guide me as what would be the best possible option to consume? We are going to propose below Product stack -
Oracle WAS 10.3
Oracle WLP 10.3
Oracle Web Center Interaction (not sure about the version)
Vignette CMS 7.6
Need to know if there are any OOTB features in oracle product stack. If not, then need to understand the best possible solution for integration either as software or in SaaS model.
Appreciate your quick help on this point.
Thank you,
Regards,
Chintan

Bumping up the question,
Can somebody please guide me.

Announcing: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper

Just Released: Developing JSF Portlets with WebLogic Portal Whitepaper
A supplemental developer's guide has been published to help guide WLP 10.x customers that wish to use JSF as the web framework for building portlets on WebLogic Portal. This is a sizable document (150 pages) that covers a large number of topics. It also coaches developers on best practices and common pitfalls.
Important: It also clarifies the supported configuration of JSF within Portal Web Projects. Workshop for WebLogic by default configures a web project in a configuration that is not supported by WebLogic Portal. The guide explains how to address this:
* Change from the unsupported MyFaces JSF implementation to the supported Sun Reference Implementation (RI)
* Change from the unsupported "client" STATE_SAVING_METHOD to the supported "server"
The guide can be downloaded here:

Hi Peter!
First, I wish to thank you for the great work.
We followed your whitepaper and managed to deploy a JSF portlet on WLS.
But we are not able to register it (consume it) as remote portlet in Oracle Portal 10.1.4. The error log is as follows:
An error occurred while trying to refresh the provider. (WWC-43190)
An error occurred during the call to the WSRP Provider:

Oracle UCM with Weblogic portals

Does any one has idea working with oracle UCM with Weblogic portals. Can anyone suggest any tutorial in online.

Provided you are using the Oracle UCM Content Adapter for WLP (UCM SPI), using content sourced from UCM in WLP applications is not different from using content from other Repositories.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/ucm_adapter/index.html for information on using the Adapter and for tips on content modeling.

Log4J with weblogic Portal 9.2

Can anybody have sample process to configure Log4J with weblogic Portal 9.2?
Sample code alongwith log4jConfig.xml and other required jsr files would be helpful.
I want to store all the log messages to defult weblogic dirctory. i.e base_doman\servers\AdminServer\logs

Do you want your app to log messages using log4j (in which case the setup is no different in WLP than with any other app using log4j, read the log4j docs) or do you want weblogic server messages to be sent to Log4j?

Need CVS plug in with weblogic portal 10.3

I tried to integrate the CVS plug in with Weblogic Portal 10.3 using software updates (Selecting Eclipse CVS Client 1.0.2.r33x), but getting the error - Weblogic Portal 10.3 requires feature "com.m7.nitrox(1.0.20)", or compatible
Can someone help me in CVS plug ins with weblogic portal 10.3.

ttam,
This is a bug, 8185869 (Check in Metalink) . that has been fixed in the Sunshine Release. In the meantime, here's the workaround from the bug report:
Download the plugin manually, and either 1) create an extension location on the file system from it and add that via Help|Software Updates|Manage Configuration, or 2) extract it to one of the workshop eclipse folders (i.e. tools/eclipse_pkgs/2.0/eclipse_3.3.2, tools/eclipse_pkgs/2.0/pkgs/eclipse, workshop_10.3/workshop4WP/eclipse, wlportal_10.3/eclipse).
Additionally, you can comment out the com.* import lines in your %BEA_HOME%\wlportal_10.3\eclipse\features\com.bea.wlp_10.3.0\feature.xml, like this:
<requires>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.core.runtime" version="3.3" match="compatible"/>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.ui" version="3.3" match="compatible"/>

</requires>
Then restart Workshop.

How to use ADF with weblogic Portal 10.3.2

Hello All,
I want to use ADF with Weblogic Portal 10.3.2. Can anyone guide me ?
Thanks,
*(' ')sman*

Hello,
To use ADF with WLP 10.3.2 you will need a WebCenter WSRP producer running the portlet, which you can then consume as a remote portlet in WLP. The documentation on how to do that is here:

How to integrate Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse with Weblogic Portal

Hi
I am following this documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15919_01/wlp.1032/e14252/setup_dev_env.htm#i1013214
to setup my development environment for developing portal applications, but I cannot set it up, my eclipse does not have PORTAL perspective.
I have downloaded the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11gR1 (11.1.1.5) and the Oracle WebLogic Portal 10.3 as mentioned in the documentation.
The Oracle Weblogic Portal 10.3 includes a workshop version of eclipse, but that is not based on a recent Eclipse, that is why I would like to use the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 11gR1 (11.1.1.5).
It is weird int he Oracle Portal 10.3 installation that I cannot install the Weblogic Portal without the Workshop.
Could you help me in this? How can I integrate the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse with Weblogic Portal?
Thank you.

For WebLogic Portal tooling you have a couple of options. For WebLogic Portal 10.3 and older, Workshop for WebLogic will be your tooling environment.
Starting in WebLogic Portal 10.3.2, which released this year, the development tools have migrated to Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse. The WebLogic Portal 10.3.2 installer will install both the runtime and the IDE configured with additional WebLogic Portal Eclipse features (Portal Project Configuration, Perspecitives, Palettes, Deployment, etc).
If you are interest in the latest version, you can download from the WebLogic Portal OTN page - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/weblogic/portal/index.html

Basic Spring Interaction with WebLogic Portal

Can you please post the article "Basic Spring Interaction with WebLogic Portal" by Article by Mark Meyer and Don Davis. Actually it was posted in http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2006/09/weblogic-portal-spring.html but after the BEA's acquisition by ORACLE, this link was not active. Can some one please assist regarding the same ?

The archived dev2dev articles are suppose to be available at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/dev2arch/index.html
But in a brief review of this site, I did not see this exact title. Maybe someone else knows where that one is.
There are many other spring related articles there you may find helpful as well.

OAM (10.1.4.3) Integration with WebLogic App Server (10.3.0 or below)

Hi All,
Can I use OAM 10.1.4.3 (Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter) to implement SSO with weblogic App Server 10.3.0 or below?
OAM 10.1.4.3 Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter is the recommended way to configure SSO with Web Logic App server 10.3.1 ( Oracle Middleware 11g).
And
OAM 10.1.4.2 uses WebLogic SSPI to configure SSO between OAM 10g and WebLogic App Server 10.3.0 or below.

Hi,
This is how the integration goes with different versions of WLS and OAM.
There is oamAuthnProvider.jar available with OAM 10.1.4.3 downloads. So it provides the assertion functionality.
Can I use OAM 10.1.4.3 (Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter) to implement SSO with weblogic App Server 10.3.0 or below?
Mahendra: Yes
OAM 10.1.4.3 Authentication Provider & Identity Asserter is the recommended way to configure SSO with Web Logic App server 10.3.1 ( Oracle Middleware 11g).
Mahendra: Yes, this is the recommended and easy approach.
OAM 10.1.4.2 uses WebLogic SSPI to configure SSO between OAM 10g and WebLogic App Server 10.3.0 or below.
Mahendra: Yes, older version of OAM uses SSPI connector installation.
HTH.

Process flow - Active Directory integration with Enterprise Portal

Hi
I have seen number of documents/forum discussions on integrating Microsoft Active Directory (LDAP) with Enterprise Portal, but unable to find out the process flow for achieving the same.
I have installed Enterprise Portal 6 (SP13) running on Web AS 640 (J2EE Standalone). The UME is currently configured to use Java database. (i.e datasourceconfiguration_database_only.xml)
I intend to proceed as below for integrating with Active Directory and integrate with Windows authentication:
1) Configure UME to use an LDAP Server as Data Source using Config Tool
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/cc/cdd93f130f9115e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
2) Configure Enterprise Portal UME i.e http://<host name>:50000/irj - System Administration - System Configuration - UM Configuration
<b>Should I configure Data Sources & LDAP Server here as I have already configured these using J2EE Config tool (point no.1).</b>
3) Integrate Windows authentication with EP using IISProxy module.
I hope the above will enable me to logon to Portal without supplying username and password once you are logged on to the PC using your Windows user name and password.
Also, any schema updates required to Activie Directory i.e What additional data is stored in A.D.
I would appreciate your guidance on this.
Thanks in advance,
Chandu

Hi Chandau,
you wanted that some users are not taken into account by the User Management Engine (UME).
This behavior can be established by specifying the
ume.ldap.negative_user_filter property for the LDAP data sources in the data source configuration file. Using this property one can define that all users and accounts that
match the defined conditions are filtered out by the UME API.
A detailed documentation can be found in the SAP Online Help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9a/f43541b9cc4c0de10000000a1550b0/
content.htm
In the following example of a data source configuration file for Microsoft Active Directory
Server the attribute userPrincipalName is used as Logon ID of a portal user id (j_user).
Here the user accounts that have one of the following Logon IDs (index_service,
notificator_service and cmadmin_service ) are filtered out.
<dataSources>
</dataSource>
<dataSource id="CORP_LDAP">
<privateSection>
<ume.ldap.negative_user_filter>
userPrincipalName=[index_service,notificator_service,cmadmin_service]
</ume.ldap.negative_user_filter>
</privateSection>
</dataSource>
</dataSources>
