Integrating Pentaho(BI tool) with Liferay Portal (implementing MyFaces)

Hey friends,
i'm a newbie to the Science of Liferay (Portal Servers).
and i kind of think this may not be an appropriate forum to post this query and i know that Many people might be bored by this discurssion
and i'm sorry as i was not able to get any helpful articles(Tech tips) after a strenuous google / forums (java,liferay/pentaho).
aliright,here is my problem.
My company is in the phase of migrating their tech.. resources they wanted to get adapted to open source technologies which could facilitate us to deliever cost affective services.
For, which we decided to go by integrating Liferay Protal(MyFaces implementations) at Presentation / View Layers,Spring (@biz layer) & Hibernate(@DA layer) and we were researching on few Open Source BI tools which could cater our requirements for our reporting front.On a detail survey we found an open source BI tool called "Pentaho" catering our needs.
I heard that there are few internal BI tools(ServiceMix JBI engine) which comes with Liferay itself but we were unable to cater requirements with them. So we've decided to integrate Liferay with this reporting tool called "pentaho".I was just wondering if someone is already working on this front,if so i'd be glad if they can share some info of how to go about it.
It would be gr8 if someone can share details in form on few good links to few tech. discurssions & few valid points.
Thanks in Advance !!!

Integrating Web Services Manager with Oracle Portal and SSO

Hi,
I wanted to throw this out there and make sure I was on the right track and also if somebody can point me to some resources online that might help. Basically, we have OWSM acting as a Gateway securing some web services. Oracle Portal is integrated w/ Oracle SSO (as well as using OID). What is the best way to pass the credentials to the OWSM from the Portal for authentication purposes? I believe using SAML voucher token is the way to go, but I'm not positive. Has anybody done this before and if so, what methodology did you use? I'm assuming since using SSO, we don't necessary want to also pass in the password.
Thanks,
Nathan

I have noticed that nobody has same kind of situation and this is not intresting question. Still we have same problem and I have heard many oracle employee saing that this behaviour is wanted situation. In our kind of virtual host enviroment it would be nice to choose behaviour of Single-sign-on server and I request oracle support to find out ways to enable this option... I would be pleased if some oracle development would say opinion about this mater. Waiting for ideas.

Integrating existing Web application with Oracle Portal

Hi,
I have an existing application which is purely written in servlets and which is in use for quite some time. I have a requirement now of moving this application onto the Oracle Portal.
I was just wondering if we have any quick meanse of doing this or we have to re develop from scratch in oracle Portal server(ByDefining page, Page templates..etc).
Advance thanks for your help
Thanks
Sreedhar

What do you mean with "moving this application onto the Oracle Portal"?
The best expedite way is use in the portal a LINK that direct your users to the actual app.
Another quick thing you could do is use the IFRAME TAG (only works in IE). This way you can embed your app in Portal (show it in some area in portal)
Then comes the complex things:
- You can activate SSO to your applications ( which is not THAT difficult)
- You can PORTLATIZATE your app, this doesn't means that you have to rewrite all, but still you need to write in a "Oracle Java Way" some thing to get it work..
You can see this link if you're using portal 10.1.2:

Integration of J2EE application with weblogic portal

Hi guys,
I have an application hosted on an iplanet web server. This application uses servlet 2.2, jsp 1.1 of J2EE platform.
And I have a microsoft application running on .NET platform.
I want integrate above 2 applications into webloigc 8.1 portal. What are the different ways in which i can do this and where can i find specific material on this.
advance thanks for your help
gopaluni

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.

UCM-Liferay portal integration

Hello,
We have a business case that to integrate Oracle UCM with Liferay portal. However, I have seen some documents that talking about Content Portlet Suite which provides many UCM functionality over the WSRP technology.
the integration architecture (as per the documentation) is based on WSRP producer and consumer. So there should be WSRP producer (i.e. portal like WebLogic) that is pointing to the Content Server and WSRP consumer (Portal like Liferay). the question now, can I make the WSRP producer as Liferay portal and if yes , how?
this is to avoid the extra Weblogic portal licenses.
Please if anybody have any idea about that let me know.
Thanks..
Younis Alomoush

There certainly was a possibility to integrate directly with FAST but I think you would need to be very careful that the versions of UCM and FAST will work together as this integration was done some time ago (4 years+) and has not been that widely used.
I think your second idea for integration is preferrable i.e. you feed FAST a list of documents for it to crawl. This decouples the two products so you will be less likely to have version problems and it means it will be easier to use FAST to index other sources as well.
The standard UCM integration with SES works on this principle - it produces an XML manifest of content that has been added/changed. The manifest includes all the metadata fields and the location of the files.
I think the easiest option would be to use this component and tweak it to your needs.
The component you would need is called SESCrawlerExport and it was included within the CS10gR35UpdateBundle.
If this solves your problem, please mark this question as answered to help other users looking for a similar solution.

I have integrated with Liferay Portal and through portal we view the report and Dashboard.
I have provided a Address(url) for individual pages to the portal based html coding it takes to OBIEE analytics.
If say I have page A,B,C for each individual page the address(url) is different.
so,If i click on dropdown A in portal side only that page A alone should display.
Has like if click on dropdown B in portal side only that page B should display
This can be achieved by hide Page.

Oracle BPM with Liferay integration

Dear Oracle BPM experts,
my organization is considering to introduce Oracle BPM Suite 11g for its internal workflows.
However existing and and new internal application will be implemented over the open source Liferay portal. Liferay is currently running over Apache Tomcat.
Do you know if Oracle BPM can integrate with non-Oracle portal servers, especially Liferay?
My organization is very keen on migrating to an application server like Weblogic but not to migrating to another portal server (e.g. Webcenter) at the moment.
In the case where you even know any customers/projects where a Liferay + Oracle BPM integration has been accomplished, I would be grateful to know them.

Hi
Its been a while I have not worked on Liferay portal in the last 4 years. Oracle SOA/BPM is not supported and mostly cannot be installed on Tomcat App server. BUT Liferay Portal can be installed on top of Weblogic Server. So you can always have a single application server like Weblogic Server to install your own Liferay and also Oracle SOA Suite.
Coming to integration, there could be many ways, that you had to explore:
1. Oracle SOA Suite has very rich interface APIs to access the Tasks. By default it has a web application like http://soahost:soaport/bpm/workspace that users login into and see all the Tasks that they are assigned to. In your Liferay Portal, have a IFrame Portlet and use the above URL. you may have to tweak for Single Sign on. But otherwise you can always show workpace app in liferay portlet.
2. Oracle SOA Suite has very rich APIs to access all the stuff for any Task. Like get list of Tasks, and task details and act on those tasks. Its like building your own custom Workspace application for Tasks. Some customers do this. Do this on your Liferay side. Only thing, is there may be some clash between some generic JRF, WebServices APIs and Versions. Like Liferay may need some specific version and soa may need some specific version. Also you need some Oracle SOA suite JARs to include in classpath on liferay side.
3. Oracle SOA also exposes all Tasks stuff using WebServices and rich REST APIs. Simply build a proxy client on Liferay side to the WebService exposed for a Task. Create a simple UI in liferay portlet to enter all the inputs for input payload and use proxy to create the task.
What you are tying is possible. Refer online docs for all above details and even sample. Just please be aware there may be some clash on common set of jars that liferay and oracle soa suite may step over each other, if you integrate them into single application server. If they exist in their own app severs like liferay+tomcat and oracle soa + weblogic, then you are fine.
Thanks

Authentication issue with Xcelsius/Portal integration

I am facing an issue with the way we have integrated our Xcelsius dashboard with our corporate portal. I know this probably is more of a SDK question than Administration, but I figured I will ask it here anyway since Tim and some others are diverse enough in their knowledge base. This might be LONG post but please advise if anyone has any good pointers.
We have an Xcelsius dashboard that needs to be served up via our corporate intranet (based on MS Sharepoint 2007). Now we are NOT using the MS Sharepoint Portal Integration Kit, but just doing a basic integration of the SWF call within a web part on Sharepoint. All this means is that within a portlet (web-part) on Sharepoint, I am making a HTTP call to the openDocument URL to invoke the SWF file. So the SWF is actually served up from our Tomcat App Server, and displayed onto this frame within the portal. That is the basic idea.
To achieve this, what I did was write some custom code using the Java SDK to modify the openDocument a little bit. By doing so, I was able to insert some behind-the-scenes-login code wherein no matter who the portal user (Win AD-based) is, he is logged in to BOE as a generic "dashboard-user" and the dashboard is served up. This worked fine for the first dashboard where all we had was SWF and some WebI linking using openDocument (no full-InfoView access).
But in this second dashboard now, what we also have is a hyperlink for users to get to InfoView to do Ad-hoc reporting. What this does is open a child browser window from within the portal (dashboard) --- and it remembers the BOE session for the generic user id "dashboard-user" and logs the end-user in to InfoView using that. But what I actually want is that the end-users, on this new window, should only be prompted at the traditional InfoView logon screen where they can manually enter their Windows AD password and get in. Thus, I would like to keep the dashboard SWF page session separate from the InfoView ad-hoc session, which I cannot seem to do because of the browser relationship and session maintenance.
I am trying to find a way where I can simulate a single sign-on for dashboard viewers on the portal, but at the same time let them jump off to InfoView as themselves.
Any thoughts on how I can do this?
Notes:
We DO NOT have Single Sign-On enabled for InfoView
We are using Windows AD authentication (manual, no SSO)
We are on Tomcat

Sarang Deshpande wrote:
1) If the InfoView app on Tomcat (desktoplaunch) is configured with Vintela, openDocument calls from the portal with automatically work using behind the scenes SSO, correct?
in XIR2 everything that falls under infoview should SSO when infoview is setup for SSO (not the case in XI 3.x)
Sarang Deshpande wrote:
2) What is the best practice when it comes to the service accounts needed? I have implemented Windows AD manual auth already so I have a service account that use for that. Should I be using the same on and making vintela/SSO-specific changes to it...or should I have a separate vintela service account and deal with two different ones..each for a diff purpose?
There is no best practice per se but the less service account the lower your chances to duplicate an SPN, functionally everything seems to work just as well with multiple as it does with 1 (of course with 1 there is less management work) If you click the SSO link in my forum sticky post I have a section explaining this with some suggested methods of deploying a service account(s)
Sarang Deshpande wrote:
3) Other than some minor browser configurations that might be required, is there anything else that I should communicate to the team about what might be required to be "pushed" to users' PCs?
Using the default config nothing should be required on the client machine (unless SSO has been disabled in the browser or you intend to use a url that contains a period ..... (i.e. FQDN or IP) with hostname URL (the default) it should just work.
To note if you have XP SP2 or older there is a microsoft spnego bug you may need to apply a fix if you aren't patched to SP3 (about 5% of our customers run into this).

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>
