Instant Portal import to Portal Environment

Hi
I have created a Instant Portal to handle the training content navigation functionality which was shown to the client for review. This Instant Portal was created in my environment which also hosts the Portal which I am developing. I have tried to access the Instant Portal as a Portlet as I requested that it is created as a Portlet also. At present this does not work as I get an error
ERROR wwv_settingsdb.GetSettingsSetName: No data found
Now I have since read up on Instant Portal and it seems to state that I need to Export and Import the Instant Portal into my main Portal. I am progressing this but as they are both in the same environment and owner do I need to export and import the Instant Portal ? Can I not just reference the Instant Portal from main Portal ?
Hope this makes sense ?
Kevin

Instant Portal and normal Portal page groups cannot be mixed and matched, you can only use one at a time in the browser. You cannot export and import into the same instance and expect any new behaviour.

NLS Support in Instant Portal

I have installed Instant Portal. The default site has been created in English. I can translate the sites text to Danish (I live in Denmark). But how do I get the Instant Portal generated text items such as (Home, Logout, Change Profile, Search etc.) translated to Danish? When I logon I get the login Screen in Danish (as my Browser runs danish and accept danish as the primary language) so it seems that part of the product supports Danish.
Another problem I had was that I created a XML file (taxonomy) with Danish characters in it describing a setup of a portal. After creating the Instant Portal using the Portal Builder the NLS characters (æøå) are shown as squares. Is this a known problem or do I do something wrong?
Are Instant Portal an option at all if I want to have a Danish interface for a portal?

Thanks for posting an update. The steps you describe are correct. You could have also generated a new instant portal in Danish in your first installation. Let's say you installed the Danish language post installation. You would first set your browser language to Danish, log in to portal, navigate to the Build page, and create a new instant portal. Your new instant portal will be generated in the current language, Danish. These steps are documented in the "Working with Languages" topic of the Oracle Instant Portal on-line help.
As you pointed out, the release notes does contain important information for working with XML files to define your taxonomy in a global environment.

Text Mining with Trex 6.1 in non-portal environment

Hello,
I am using a 46C system with Kpro connected to a Trex 6.10 for indexing DMS-documents. The fulltext search works fine, however I cannot get the text-mining functions to work.
In the Trex 6.10 administration looking at the index parameters i see the text-mining-flag is NOT set.
How can I set the text-mining flag of an index?
Since i have only a 46c system I create the index-category in transaction SKPR07 - but i cannot enable text-mining there (?).
To wrap it up: I want to get not only fulltext-search results but also document features and (maybe) similar documents from trex. How can i achieve this in a non-portal environment?
Any help from you experts would be highly appreciated!
best regards,
Johannes
ps: i posted this here in the EP forum because this seems to be where the trex knowledge is.

Hi Karsten
Problem was that when i create the index from SKPR07 it is always without text-mining flag. But a small modification solved the problem, and now I can use textmining also in the 46C system.
here is how-to:
added 2 new import parameters in the function (on 46c)
FUNCTION SRET_INDEX_STORAGE_CREATE.
""Lokale Schnittstelle:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(SEARCHENG) LIKE SRETGSTRUC-XSENG
*"     VALUE(CODEPAGE) LIKE SRETRCP-CODEPAGE
*"     VALUE(XUSECLASS) LIKE SRETGSTRUC-XUSECLASS OPTIONAL
-->added     VALUE(FILTER_FLAG) LIKE SRETGSTRUC-X2FLAG OPTIONAL
-->added     VALUE(TEXTMINING_FLAG) LIKE SRETGSTRUC-X2FLAG OPTIONAL
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(RCODE) LIKE SRETGSTRUC-RCODE
*" TABLES
*"      IDXSTORAGETAB STRUCTURE SRETIDSTID
*"      TECHNICALATTR STRUCTURE SRETXTECAT
*"      DOCATTRTAB STRUCTURE SRETDOCATR
*" EXCEPTIONS
*"      CREATION_NOT_POS
set textmining flag to '1' and so now a newly created index has the textmining flag on the trex.
now i can use function (on any webas>6.10)
SRET_C_GET_DOCUMENT_FEATURES to get the document keywords. Great! Now I can (finally) implement the "google-like" document search in the old 46c system.
thank you for your help! your fast replies are very much appreciated!

Exit from Webdynpro abap application in portal environment

Hi,
I created one custom service in Webdynpro ABAP in ESS and also integrated in the portal environment
I need to put Exit button in every page ( OVERVIEW, EDIT, REVIEW). When user click on 'EXIT' button from any one of page , it should return back to PERSONAL INFORMATION in ESS Homepage.
I have used Exit plug in window , but i read in SAP Library Exit plugs will not work in portal environment.
Let me know which way i should proceed to acheive the Exit functionality.

Add the following code in action of exit and also add the application parameter which gets the area page from the portal.
Apart from this, do the configuration settings in these screens ( Define resources, Define services ) in SPRO.

Changing hostnames in a portal environment

Anyone know how difficult it is to change all the hostnames in a portal environment once everything is up and running? What files need to change? Anything embedded in the db or db changes that have to be made?

I am certain there are some hostname entries that are written to the DB but I don't have a comprehensive list of all the entries and certainly don't have a list of the corresponding DB fields. A good place to get a sense of what may need to change is by searching the PTE files that were originally imported after the install for the various machine names. Another technique that may help identify the places that need to change may be to do an Advanced Search to locate all the Remote Servers and to make sure their names are accurate. Another place would be to make sure the Portal URL Manager settings under the Portal Settings utility in the Portal's Administration tab is accurate.
Of course there are probably a fair number of configuration files that need to change too but simple searching should be able to handle much of that.
Good luck.

Reporting on link usage within federated portal environment

Hi,
We have a fedrated portal environment and woul like to be able to report on how many users click on a web link within one of the portal pages. Is there an easy way to gather this information across all of the portal systems?
Thanks in advance.

I agree with Oliver on how easy it is to misunderstand SSO. People unfamiliar with the technology often assume that all varieties of SSO (e.g., logon tickets, x.509 certificates) are all sufficiently "secure".
It seems like people talk a lot more about logon tickets in the SNC. That's fine and all (because it's free), but people might be overlooking the security problem with logon tickets; they share the same security problems with web browser cookies (because a login ticket is essentially a cookie).
Additionally, there's the issue of insecure communications. If you use certificates to authenticate, then you can take advantage of SAP's "Secure Network Communications" technology. It's something like SSL but for the RFC/DIAG protocol.
One word of caution though: SAP only provides SNC from server-to-server with the SAP Cryptographic Library for free. For client-to-server encrypted communications, you probably have to find a vendor in the SAP EcoHub. You can query something along the lines of "single sign-on". Just find a vendor that uses certificate-based SSO. Most of the time they can deal with whichever identity repository that your company uses (e.g., ADS, eDirectory, RSA, SQL).
Summary:
1) There are different forms of SSO with different levels of "security"
2) Pay some attention to encrypted communications (you can address two important problems with the "right" SSO technology
3) You can do a lot with free SAP tools (e.g., cryptolib, logon tickets), but be willing to accept the security tradeoffs

Instant Portal Review.

As I am looking at it I will start posting an evaluation of the Instant Portal App as I see it. Note these are only first glances of what I encountered in the Get a fully functional portal running in an Hour
First, thing I notice is the lack of a public face. I see two posts in this forum on the same subject. This just makes no sense. There really should be a way to include public content. Along the same lines, the aging and workflow of Portal was not used.
Second, the banner should be more customizable. There are probably only 1/2 a dozen ways to create a top banner. You should be able to select from a couple of style.
Examples:
Left Image Left or Center Title.
Search and login in banner.
Breadcrumb trail optional
The Banner should be able to have an image background.
The template should let you set or select the Title Font
You should be able to select between 1 and 2 levels of tabs on top, perhaps more, but at least 2 levels. Why Two? A person may want to have Departments be the top level Tab Then each department can have their own Page with Top level tabs. I suppose their answer is have a separate Content Area (Separate Instant Portal) for every department. But then departments could not see new content across departments in one place.
A link to the Tab Home should be on top of the Left Nav Bar. Right now if you click the Finance Tab, then Budgeting to get back to the Finance information you have to click the Finance tab again. This is inconsistent as the visual cue is that you ARE on the Finance Page already.
Should be able to Hide ITEM information like Title date author summary from being displayed on the page. You can set it to an empty string but then you may loose valuable info just because you do not want that displayed. EG I would like to see who posted an RTF in the New Content window but I do not want to see that Joe Posted the Corporate Home Item for the next two years?
File Item Image is not very useful and kind of hidden. You should be able to select an Image so you could show pdf, word etc. Probably need to add a file type specification.
RTF Item and HTML Parser incomplete (or to limiting). I pasted in a web page with an image and the image had a MAP. Everything looked great except the MAP did not work. So I pasted the map info into HTML Edit but every time I clicked over to RTF edit it would remove the map. Just as a check I went to builder and made the update directly to the Text Item in the Page. This worked perfect and the MAP works Of course that is until you edit in Instant Portal and it strip the MAP out again. I assume there is a larger undocumented set of Valid HTML code that cant be used in the RTF editor?
EG:
<image src="o.jpg" width="558" height="397" border="0" usemap="#Map2">
<map name="Map2">. . .</map>
RTF Editor changed to:
<image src="o.jpg" width="558" height="397" border="0" >It seems kind of dumb to arbitrarily limit or take a subset of valid HTML code in the RTF items as the RTF item is probably the only way to really customize and make useful content.
A feature for end users to export/ print RTF content to Word or PDF would be a nice to have
So far it is OK but not really useful. It may take as it says a day to build a portal but it is not fully functional and by the end of the week it may be so limited that you are going to have to scrap it.
Other peoples comments and insight?

Instant Portal not accesible after instalation AS SEOne

Hi,
I have installed Application Server Standard Edition One 10.1.2 on Linux RedHat Enterprise 4. I have passed all preinstallation requirements (exclude RHEL 3). No error occur during installation :-). I could run portal page (myhost:7778). But when I click on Instant portal I got error: No respose from application web server. So I have checked EM Application server (myhost:1810 or myhost:1811) and I have found two important things:
1) On infrastructure page at System components: SingleSignOn has ststus down - N/A
2) On portal page at System components: Portal has status down - N/A
I have tried to go through logs but nothing interesting found.
Please could you advice me what to do?
Thanks
SASA

You may be hitting Bug: 4443864.
This Bug applies to AS SEOne configured with non-American (US) English locales, such as United Kingdom.
My understanding was that Linux is not supposed to have this issue, but do have a read on it and check on the workarounds for it in Metalink or OTN.

Instant Portal doesn't display properly in IE6

IE Version : 6.0.2800.1106CO (SP1, Q823353, 8333989)
OS : Windows 2000
I just built an Instant Portal using an XML file as described in the Insant Portal documentation. However, when trying to view it using the browser described above, the page renders incorrectly. The HTML code seems to work, but the style is not implemented. I've tried looking at the portal using Firefox and it works perfectly. Also, I tried a users PC that has IE 6 on XP and the site also worked OK. So it appears that the problem is with IE 6 (SP1) on Windows 2000. Anyone else come across this probelm? I'm a bit stumped!

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the advice. There's only one link to a .css file
and that's working fine.
The problem's a bit hard to explain, so I made a very short
video with Camtasia which you can see here:
http://site.soundeffectstore.com/dreamweaver/Dreamweaver.html
The site isn't live at the moment and the links don't work or
anything, but I uploaded the code to here:

Thanks again for your help.
Talk soon,
Joe

Flex Dashboard and Using Flex in a Portal Environment

Thanks for the link, I did search a little while before making the original post. I guess I wasn't searching for the right thing though.
The method I found listed in here seems to work in IE but not Firefox. It could just be a caching issue though I'm not real familiar with firefox and don't really know how to get it to forget that it's been to a page already.
I also updated the link listed above to ask about any changes in the last upgrade related to this.
This was related to caching in firefox and it worked fine after I logged out of my apex.oracle.com account and cleared the personal cache in firefox and then started over.

Instant Portal Look'n'Feel

Hi,
is there any easy way to transfer the Instant Portal Look'n'Feel into Enterprise Portal?
Are there specific stylesheets that could be plugged into Enterprise Portal?
Any info would be much appreciated?
Thanks,
Peter

Hi
I tried to personalize the instant portal look and feel but it drove me crazy.
Styles are very complex and generated by a stored proc that you can't modify.
In standart portal, it is easy to manage with UI templates, but in instant portal you simply cant' modify them.
If you find a way to do so, let me know.

Distributed Portal Environment Query

We currently have a centralised G6 portal environment in which we have a single Portal server and another hosting Collab.
We have a requirement which might lead to us having to provide another portal server and collab server at one of our remote sites, although in another domain, that as a result will extend the reach of our current portal. The portal and collab databases would remain at the central location so these remote 'services' would need access back to them we assume. Currently there is also a Firewall on the WAN between these 2 sites.
We have tried to find other articles on distributed Portal configurations to see if this is possible but have not really come up with anything so I am hoping other users in this forum might help.
The main points we are trying to understand initially are:
1) Firstly can you distribute portal &/or Collab servers in this way?
2) What ports would the firewall need to allow for the remote Portal server to talk back to the central SQL*Server database.
3) Can you distribute Collab Server across 2 servers in this way and if so what do they need to talk back to the central database. The requirement is to be able to share the projects across the 2 collab servers so that users connecting to the central server can collaborate with those connecting to the remote server.
4) We are assuming that authentication from the remote site into the central AD domain will be OK as we can host the AD AWS centrally.
Any input appreciated,
Ross

Geoff,
Thanks for the prompt reply and I can understand why my questions sound slightly confusing as the scenario is not easy to explain in this medium.
What we currently have is 2 portal 'environments', one running internally and another running on another network but which is linked to our own. What we are exploring is whether we can consolidate this into a single environment.
We need to maintain at least one portal server in the other network, which is effectively a DMZ as you imply, for non technical reasons primarily. But our understanding is that this will need to talk back to the portal database which is on our internal network behind a firewall hence the query about firewall ports.
This 'remote' portal also currently hosts a Collab server so we were wondering if their was benefit in keeping a collab server 'local' to the remote users to avoid network traffic. From your reply I conclude this might not be sensible, or even possible, so perhaps we need to migrate these Collab objects back into the internal portal's collab environment and let the remote sites users access it from there.
If this is the case then for improved availability we would probably want to consider Clustering Collab so are you aware of any reference docs on this side of things?
Thanks,
Ross
