Linking to individual custom database portlets

When we create menu items in Portal normally we can link to an individual form or report component created in oracle portal and exposed via url for show or other routine. We need to setup menu items each to link to our custom database portlets. Is there any API or any other way of invoking this programatically?
For e.g. if I have a portlet helloworld_portlet can I invoke helloworld_portlet.show directly? Any examples would help.
Also there are undocumented API's to link to tabs or to pages or via query of sbr views. Are there any documented API's to link to tabs or subtabs?

Hi,
I dont think what you want is possible, the whole idea of a portlet is that its part (building block) of a page and not being a webpage by itself.
There are perhaps some workarounds
- try displaying the portlet in detail modus
- perhaps create a hybrid portlet, that is a servlet & portlet at the same time
In one of my portlets im also linking to a portlet on another page. I keep the durable link of the page where the second portlet resides as a setting in my database

Adding a change password link in a custom portlet

Hi,
Does anyone know how to add a change password link in a custom portlet? the custom nav UI we have does not show the my account link, we want to hide this complexity for external users, but we still want them to be able to change their password.
I am expirimenting with using the following link, which seems to work fine, but was wondering if there was a more elegant way to do it using pt: tags?
<pt:transformer pt:fixurl="off" xmlns:pt='http://www.plumtree.com/xmlschemas/ptui/'/>Change]http://servername/portal/server.pt?space=ChangePassword&&control=EditorStart&editorType=10">ChangePassword</a><pt:transformer pt:fixurl="on" xmlns:pt='http://www.plumtree.com/xmlschemas/ptui/'/>
Thanks

Hrm... this does get ugly... This has come up a few times w/ our users as well, so I am definitely interested in seeing what can be done.
I don't see any sort of pre-built tag to let you access this directly. To your point, I only found the general account editing / access link - not one directly to password reset.
Couple of questions / notes
I tried your option and while it works, I'm concerned by the redirect back to the account page. That seems to violate your requirements on hiding the account options info. When the user hits finish / cancel they're taken to the main "My Account" page.Have you considered securing the other activity spaces so they're not visible from the "My Account" page? Then you could use the built-in tags. Not ideal, I know, but if you're going to be routed back to that screen anyway once you finish/cancel your password change...Have you considered just writing the password reset funtionality into your app? I did this a while back and it was actually pretty simple. Then you can have complete control over the behavior.How I wrote password reset...
You know the userid in this case, so things are MUCH easier (no need to search to find the specific user)Assumption: users are stored in the plumtree database auth sourceUse the native API (com.plumtree.server). I don't know if you need to impersonate a full admin or not... my code doesGet a handle on the userReset the password with the "SetPassword" methodStore the changeSemi-functional code below - note how you'd never want to store your admin userid / password in here like this (or have it blank...)
'//create an admin connection Dim ptAdminSession As IPTSession = New Session ptAdminSession.Connect("administrator", "", Nothing)
Dim sNewPassword As String = ""
'//start user impersonation Dim ptUserSessionTemp As IPTSession = ptAdminSession.ImpersonateUser(iUserID)
'//open the user for editing Dim oUser As IPTUser = ptAdminSession.GetUsers().Open(iUserID, True)
'//reset the password oUser.SetPassword(sNewPassword)
'//mungle with server context Dim mySC As IPTServerContext = oUser.GetInterfaces("IPTServerContext") mySC.Store() mySC.UnlockObject()

Custom database functoid to return multiple rows from database

Hi,
I have created a custom database fucntoid to execute a stored procedure which returns just single row from the database.But I could not manage to return multiple rows from the database.
Does anyone know how to return multiple rows from DB and create a node with that many occurrences in the target schema?
Thanks

If you want to do this in messaging-only way without orchestration, then only option let to you is using .NET in BizTalk:
We had similar requirement with one of our clients, where they didn’t want to use orchestration (though we emphasised on less impact orch would have compared to manageability),
they still wanted to have pure-messaging only.
We extended the custom XslTransform component that ships with BizTalk SDK (<BizTalk installation directory>\SDK\Samples\Pipelines\XslTransformComponent)).
Created a custom disassembler pipeline component, used the XslTransform component from SDK to execute the map’s XSLT. Here we created a map with every links except the database ones. After executing the map, access the database, execute the store procedure
which returns more than one row/dataset, enrich the XSLT transformed message with the dataset from your database in disassembler.
Since .NET gives you the flexibility of access the dataset with more than one row, you can enrich the message in custom pipeline code.
Other option is code the message transformation completely in .NET code in custom disassembler by passing the received message to method/code which would code the map/enrichment.
While enriching you can execute the store procedure which returns more than one row/dataset, enrich the message further with the dataset from db.

Where we can link the vendor & Customer open and cleared iteams.

Dear Experts,
Vendor & Customer open line iteam and clear line iteams tables is BSIK, BSID, BSIAK,BSAD, But where we can link the open iteam and clear iteam, what is the link table of open iteam and cleared iteam. And where we can link the vendor & Customer open and cleared iteams.
For example vendor & Customer linked table is KLPA.
Same above the G/L open line iteam and clear line iteams tables is BSIS, BSAS,where we can link the open iteam and clear iteam, what is the link table of open iteam and cleared iteam.
Thanks in Advance,.
Srinu.M.

Sorry to say you but it is mandatory.
Everybody is trying to help others and solve their problem. When you say i am not asking for that and looking for this, it looks a bit arrogant.
Tables are
Customer
BSID (open items) and BSAD (cleared items)
Vendor - similarly
BSAK and BSIK
Totals
BSEG, BKPF
Let us know if you still need any help

How to create a custom search portlet that groups results by category

Hello,
Is it possible to create a custom search portlet whose search results are displayed on a page grouped by Category? Basically the results page should have Category heading followed by search results.
I realize this is not canned functionality but any ideas on how to accomplish this using PLSQL APIs is also welcome.
Thanks.

hi,
one workaround i could think of is using the CM views to search for content that belongs to a category and display it in a custom way.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc904/wwsbr_api_view.html
this only allows you to search for the meta-data available in the CM views but not the content of an item that is available when doing a search.
in the next major portal release we will have a publich search API that can be used for these type of requirements. you can execute your search and format the results in the way you want.
regards,
christian

Database link to the same database

I'm trying to create a database link to the same database.
It doesn't seem to be working ...
basically, the target system will have 2 separate database instances.
I need to emulate this in a single instance database (actually, I don't want to try running 2 oracle instances on my laptop...).
so I want to do select * from fred@MYOTHERDB
when I try and create the alias it succeeds, but then selects don't work.
Lets say my current logon / schema is JOHN (in ORCL) and the other SCHEMA (in ORCL) is JIM
I tried
create public database link MYOTHERDB connect to JIM identified by "Password";
creation worked, couldn't access it.
Thanks in advance

Now I've tried this both from TOAD and from iSQL on the machine with the database.
It's INVMANLAP which I'm using from the TOAD machine, of course!
I appreciate your help. It has been the only bright spark in a DREADFUL day (among other things the IDC-SERVER mentioned above has a trashed system disk which has taken out email and my main oracle server). And I have to install this system tomorrow!

You want to know the amount of space the transaction log for the Customer database is using. Which T-SQL command would you use?

Custom Search portlet : how to sort the result in sequence (Portal 10.1.4)

With a Custom Search portlet how to Sort the Result By Sequence. i.e. by respecting arrangements of the items in the page of contents?
Actually the Results Options "Order By" are : Create Date, Author, Creator, Date Updated, Display Name, Last Update by, Publish Date, Score.
Is there an action to add the "Sequence" Order By result Option?
Great thanks for your kind help.

No, I agree that it is functionality that should be added to the product, but it
is not a bug because it was not written to do this.

Is there any way to link the individual rows of data to the corresponding bars in a bar chart so that each legend title appears simultaneously with its corresponding bar when creating a build? I can do it in a pie chart but can't in a bar chart.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

How to show the logged in User's displayName in a custom wsrp portlet

Custom Search Portlet not getting the results as expected.

Hi All,
I am using CustomSearchPortlet and I am having following problems. I created an itemtype IT with attributes A1,A2.Then I configured my custom search portlet to search based on A1,A2 attributes only. I have created 3 instances of items Item1,Item2,Item3 based on itemtype IT as follows
Item1(A1=value11,A2=value12)
Item2(A1=value21,A2=cat22)
Item3(A1=value11,A2=value32)
and when I search for value11, I get Item1,Item3 as results. Till here it was nice and behaving as expected. Suddenly after some time, it stopped working and i am not getting the results I used to get before. The only thing i remember to have changed in the meanwhile was to change the A2 attribute values of some of these items. my searchtext remained the same as value11. I was confused as to why the custom search portlet is not getting these results that it was getting before...Thanks for any help in solving this.
Thanks,
Prasanth.

Hi,
If Oracle Text is enabled in your portal, the updated items need to be synchronised before they can be returned in the Search. Since you updated those items, though not changing values for this particular attribute, it will be in the queue for indexing and hence will not be returned until it is indexed.
Thanks.

CVI - linking vendor and customer to the same BP

Hi all,
I'm working in a scenario where the CVI (Customer Vendor synchronizing with Business Partners) works in the direction Vendor/Customer to BP. This means that the user creates a vendor or a customer (within the AP/AR modules) and the system creates the business partner automatically.
The problem is that the system doesn't perform any check to see if the vendor (or the customer) is linked to a customer (or a vendor) within the AP/AR master data and if yes, connects the vendor/customer to the same BP which is assigned to the customer/vendor.
Example: vendor 1000 is connected to customer 2000 within their master data in AP/AR. the system will create 2 separate business partners, one for vendor 1000 and one for customer 2000 rather then connect them to the same business partner.
The CVI_CUSTOM_MAPPER BADI kicks in too late (!!) since at that point of the process, the system has already determined the necessary entry for the link tables (CVI_CUST_LINK and CVI_VEND_LINK) and any change to the BP GUID within methods MAP_CUSTOMER_TO_BP or MAP_VENDOR_TO_BP will result in dumps at a later stage, as the link in the CVI link tables will contain a GUID which was never created...
Please help me.. I'm stuck now...
Shlomi

Hi,
Check the "Automatic creation of Business Partner in FSCM" message. You have to create BP to synchro with customer and customer to BP.
To synchro personal data, you have to run MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT program.

DB link for physical standby database

Hi All ,
I'm facing the below error on primary while trying to create a db link pointing to the 10g standby database which is in mount stage.
SQL> create database link synct connect to system identified by 123 using 'stdby';
Database link created.
SQL> select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log@synct where applied='YES';
select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log@synct where applied='YES'
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02068: following severe error from SYNCT
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
Database version is 10.2 standard edition
My requirement is i need to get max(sequence#) of standby database from primary database using db link.
what i was trying to do is
on primary get max(sequence#) & get max(sequence#) of standby using db link and compare both if the gap differene is more than 10 send a mail.
Any suggestions will be really helpful

Post Standby/DataGuard/ADG all questions further in Oracle Discussion Forums » High Availability » Data Guard
If you try to connect any users other than SYS in standby the error is very much expected. Of course you can connect with other users if you open database in OPEN READ ONLY mode, from 11gRx you can connect with other users even MRP is running if you are using ADG(active Data Guard licensed) .
I like to know, what you want to achieve by creating DB Link on physical standby database? Which is not allowed.
Database version is 10.2 standard edition
My requirement is i need to get max(sequence#) of standby database from primary database using db link.
what i was trying to do is
on primary get max(sequence#) & get max(sequence#) of standby using db link and compare both if the gap differene is more than 10 send a mail.
Any suggestions will be really helpfulNote:- Standard edition, Data Guard not enabled.
To use this you should use Oracle Net Service, you no need of DB Links.
Ex:- sqlplus sys/****@standby as sysdba
Here standby refers to Oracle net service, Where you will have entries in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file.
