Migeration of Portlets from Plumtree 5.0 to Oracle WebCenter 10g

Hello
We need to migrate portlets in “Oracle WebCenter 10g RC3” from “Plumtree 5.0”. Till now we are using “Plumtree 5.0” and “.Net 1.1” for development of portlets.
My question is:
is it possible to run all existing portlets directly (Without any change) on “Oracle WebCenter 10g RC3” or should we have to made some changes in code of all existing portlets (“Plumtree 5.0”) to run on “WebCenter 10g RC3”
I will appreciate any kind help/information in this regard.
Thanks in advance

It is not possible to migrate portal objects from 5.0 to 10g3 or for that matter, any different versions. While migrating, the source and target installation versions should be the same. This is a PREREQUISITE.
I guess what you are trying to do is to upgrade your Plumtree 5.0 to Oracle WebCenter Interaction 10gR3. This is not directly possible. You will have to do at least 4 intermediate upgrades: 5.0 to 6.0 to 6.1 to 6.5 to 10gR3 (This is not accurate. Please go to edocs.bea.com/alui and go through the upgrade guides for the different versions)
Please do not confuse between Oracle WebCenter and Oracle WebCenter Interaction. The new name of the Plumtree portal / AquaLogic User Interaction is Oracle WebCenter INTERACTION and this product has been included in the Oracle WebCenter family. There were other member products pre-existing in Oracle WebCenter Product suite and as of now, applications referred to as Oracle WebCenter applications do not actually include OWC Interaction applications. Going forward, these technologies will converge/made interoperable and more combatible.
I guess you must have realized by now why your question had not evoked much interest here: Wrong Forum :D Please post your queries in Forum Home >> User Interaction and Content Management >> WebCenter Interaction and not in WebCenter Suite - Framework.

Loading image from jars only once in oracle forms 10g

Hi,
I have an oracle forms 10g application which loads image from a jar. Every time i click on a button "A" that loads the image "image" on another button "B" in the same screen, a message is displayed in the java console "Loaded image: jar:https://+IP+/forms/java/+myjar+.jar!/image.gif". So after 10 clicks, i get the same message displayed 10 times. In the form, i've called:
SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY(p_object_name, 1, 'IMAGE_NAME_ON', '/'||p_image_name);My question is the following:
- is there a way to load this image once and use it later without having to load it every time i clik on "A"? if yes, how?
P.S.: if this thread shouldn't be posted in this forum, please redirect me to the right one.
Thanks in advance

Ah okay.
I'm using the rolloverbutton.jar (RollOver Button PJC) [RolloverButton.java -> authors: Steve Button, Duncan Mills].
Here is the part concerning the IMAGE_NAME_ON function:
// make sure we are in rollover mode
enableRollover();
log("setProperty - IMAGE_NAME_ON value=" + value.toString());
// load the requested image
m_imageNameOn = (String) value;
loadImage(ON,m_imageNameOn);
// reset the currrently drawn image if needed
setImage(ON,m_state);
return true;where loadImage function is:
    URL imageURL = null;
    boolean loadSuccess = false;
    //JAR
    log("Searching JAR for " + imageName);
    imageURL = getClass().getResource(imageName);
    if (imageURL != null)
      log("URL: " + imageURL.toString());
      try
        m_images[which] = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageURL);
        loadSuccess = true;
        log("Image found: " + imageURL.toString());
      catch (Exception ilex)
        log("Error loading image from JAR: " + ilex.toString());
    else
      log("Unable to find " + imageName + " in JAR");
    //DOCBASE
    if (loadSuccess == false)
      log("Searching docbase for " + imageName);
      try
        if (imageName.toLowerCase().startsWith("http://")||imageName.toLowerCase().startsWith("https://"))
          imageURL = new URL(imageName);
        else
          imageURL = new URL(m_codeBase.getProtocol() + "://" + m_codeBase.getHost() + ":" + m_codeBase.getPort() + imageName);
        log("Constructed URL: " + imageURL.toString());
        try
          m_images[which] = createImage((java.awt.image.ImageProducer) imageURL.getContent());
          loadSuccess = true;
          log("Image found: " + imageURL.toString());
        catch (Exception ilex)
          log("Error reading image - " + ilex.toString());
      catch (java.net.MalformedURLException urlex)
        log("Error creating URL - " + urlex.toString());
    //CODEBASE
    if (loadSuccess == false)
      log("Searching codebase for " + imageName);
      try
        imageURL = new URL(m_codeBase, imageName);
        log("Constructed URL: " + imageURL.toString());
        try
          m_images[which] = createImage((java.awt.image.ImageProducer) imageURL.getContent());
          loadSuccess = true;
          log("Image found: " + imageURL.toString());
        catch (Exception ilex)
                log("Error reading image - " + ilex.toString());
      catch (java.net.MalformedURLException urlex)
        log("Error creating URL - " + urlex.toString());
    if (loadSuccess == false)
      log("Error image " + imageName + " could not be located");In this case, what shall i modify?
Thanks in advance

Large_pool value changed from 0 to 8388608 after Oracle Patch 10g Release 2

10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) Patch Set 3 for HP-UX Itanium
Recently we upgrade Oracle software with patch set 6810189.
and upgraded database using dbua.
earlier we set large_pool to 0 and after database upgrade, this large_pool changed to 8388608 bytes. Is this normal with DBUA?
also dbua keeps backup of spfile in same location

This is a way I used to do it too. I am not sure whether it is the official way, but it works nevertheless.
Do make sure you run autoconfig afterwards, which will create a new environment file for you. Then stop listener and database, source the new environment file and restart listener and database.
I found some other procedure in order for you to recreate the environment file:
1. On the application tier, Execute $AD_TOP/bin/admkappsutil.pl to generate appsutil.zip for the database tier.
2. Copy this appsutil.zip to the database tier and unzip it into the ORACLE_HOME
3. Set the following environment variables:
ORACLE_HOME =<10g ORACLE_HOME>
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = <10g ORACLE_HOME/lib, 10g ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib>
ORACLE_SID = instance name running on this database node.
PATH= $PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin;
TNS_ADMIN = $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/<context_name> 4. Edit the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file. Change the aliases for SID=<new RAC instance name>
5. Modify the listener.ora. Change the instance name and Oracle Home to match environment
6. Start the listener.
7. From the 10g ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin directory, create an instance-specific XML context file by executing the command:
adbldxml.pl tier=db appsuser=<APPSuser> appspasswd=<APPSpwd>8. De-register the current configuration using the command:
perl $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/adgentns.pl appspass=apps contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE -removeserver9. Rename $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<rac instance>.ora , to a new name (i.e. init<rac instance>.ora.old in order to allow AutoConfig to regenerate the file using the RAC specific parameters.
10. From the 10g ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin directory, execute AutoConfig on the database tier by running the adconfig.pl script.
Now you should have the officially created environment file.
HTH.

Upgrade to v2.0 from version 1.67 using oracle appserver 10g

Looking over the release notes and install guide for version 2.0, I noticed that there are configuration changes for the marvel.conf file. However, there is no mention in the Appserver 10g section of these guides about the dads.conf file. Should our changes be going into the dads.conf file or should we create a marvel.conf file and apply changes there or should changes be in both files?? Also what file should the MIMe (xbl htc) changes be applied to ?

Clifford,
You can put all your changes, including mime types, in dads.conf. Make sure you place the AddType directives outside the Location tags.

Steps to upgrade from Weblogic Portal 8.1 to Webcenter Portal 11.1.1.6

Currently I'm involved in consulting for a client who has Weblogic Portal (WLP) 8.1. I'm trying to find documentation for upgrade from WLP 8.1 to Webcenter 11.1.1.6.
I found the below link but the starting point for upgrade is Oracle WebCenter 10g (10.1.3)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e22628/wcmap.htm
I'm not clear if I should migrate from WLP 8.1 to WLP 10.3.x and then to Webcenter or direct migration from WLP 8.1 to Webcenter is possible ?
Any pointers / links / case study would be helpful.
Thanks for the helping soul in advance.

Thank you jiri for the quick response.
Regarding your comment 'upgrade from WLP 8.1 to WLP 10.3.5 is not for free', I did some search and found that the documentation is available for upgrading from 8.1 to 10.3.4 as below :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26806_01/wlp.1034/e14253/upgrade_process.htm
Also when I went to the 10.3.5 documentation library (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35968_01/index.htm), I found the below link (where the upgrade process points 8.1 to 10.3.4 instead of 8.1 to *10.3.5*)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26806_01/wlp.1034/e14253/toc.htm
My understanding (after reading the documentation + your comment) is that we can upgrade from 8.1 to 10.3.4 but to upgrade to 10.3.5 we need to pay Oracle. Could you point me to a link which has that information ?
Thank you for your help.

How Offiline Data loading is possible from MS Access DB to Oracle DM

HI All,
I am new to Oracle.
I am trying to migrate few tables from MS Access DB to Oracle DB (10g)
I have used the migration utility from the Sql Developer tool.
I was successful in creating the schema and also transferring the data for tables.
But if my data in Access DB is updated everyday then how am i suppose to link this to newly created oracle tables?
Is there any way to do this?
And if i want to load the Oracle tables offline using "Generate Offline Data Move Scripts" option in sql developer then how do i do it?
I tried using the option "Generate Data Move Scripts" right click option on converted object then the utility created few files on my local machine.
I am not able to make my way fwd.
Please help me.
regards,
Sushil

Hi Sushil,
I will try to address each of your questions:
Q: "if my data in Access DB is updated everyday then how am i suppose to link this to newly created oracle tables? Is there any way to do this?"
A: Depending on your reasons for maintaining the use of the MS Access database, you have two options.
1. lf you are continuing to use the MS Access database because the application front end is MS Access forms & reports then you could just create linked tables to the newly migrated Oracle tables. Doing so will mean that any data modified via the frond end forms & reports will be saved directly in the Oracle database.
2. If you wish to continue saving data to the MS Access database, then transfer it to the Oracle database, then you can just use the "Migrate Data" option in Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench to carry out this task. You just need to ensure that you've an open connection to your migration repository, and have the converted model for the migrated database. You will then just transfer the data online, like you have already done.
Q: "And if i want to load the Oracle tables offline using "Generate Offline Data Move Scripts" option in sql developer then how do i do it?"
A: To migrate your MS Access data offline, you need to do the following:
1. Run the Exporter tool for MS Access, and select the "Export for Oracle SQL Developer" option. On the second screen of the tool, browse to the location of your MDB file, provide a location for the output directory and ensure you select the "Export Table Data" option before you click the "Export" button. This option generates a .DAT file for each table containing data in your MDB file.
2. In Oracle SQL Developer, once you have carried out your migration, select the Migration > Script Generation > Generate Data Move Scripts menu item and select the Converted Model to generate the scripts for. An "MSAccess" folder will be generated in the path specified in the "Generate Offline Data Move Files" dialog.
3. Navigate to the "MSAccess" folder generated in step 2, and this folder should contain a "oracle_ctl.bat" file, which
for your converted model.
4. Edit the "oracle_ctl.bat" file and update the script to replace <Username>/<Password> with the actual username/password combination required to connect to the migrated schema e.g. for a migrated Northwind database, this combination would be northwind/northwind. Save the changes to the file.
5. Copy the .DAT files generated in step 1 to the /MSAccess/Oracle folder. The .ctl files refer to the .DAT file in order to load the data into Oracle using SQL*Loader.
6. Open each of the .ctl files and check the file name referenced on the 2nd line of the file e.g. infile '[Categories].null', where the file name is "Categories.null". The ".null" part must be updated to ".dat". This is a known issue and a fix for this will be available in a future release of the Oracle SQL Developer Migration Workbench. Save the changes to the .ctl files.
7. Open up a Command Prompt & navigate to the /MSAccess folder, and run the "oracle_ctl.bat" file to load the data into the Oracle database tables. If you experience any issues during this process, check the output in the command prompt & try to resolve any reported issues. If you are unable to do so, please refer to the Migration Workbench forum - Database and Application Migrations If you cannot find a solution from the existing threads, please post a new thread, giving the full syntax of any reported error messages.
I hope this helps.

Hilary

I had already applied all of this before trying to deploy.
The error seems to be a versioning error in the jsf-impl.jar file as the ApplicationAssociate class is found there. I have changed the JDK and J2EE to 1.4.2 and 1.3 respectively, rebuilt everything, updated all the settings to the right versions for 10.1.2 but it still keeps failing on the deploy.

Consuming a Liferay portlet from WebCenter

Hi all,
I'm trying to consume the default Liferay "Hello World" portlet from WebCenter but keep on getting a null portlet instance when trying to drop the portlet on a jspx page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Yannick,
Exactly, i'm using WSRP to register the portlet. It registers successfully, it's only when you try to add the portlet to the page that you get a NPE.
I have a customer requirement of integrating or even better migrating their portlets to WebCenter. Their Liferay portlets use Liferay APIs and custom security. How would you tackle this requirements?
Thanks

Hi.
Has anyone migrated pages with Discoverer portlets from one instance of 9iAS portal to another?
We want to maintain development and production 9iAS setups, and need some mechanism to move pages wholesale from one app server to the other.

Hi Sumit,
Thank you very much for the early response.
The personalization has been done at the Site level.
After migrating the code the server was bounced.
On the executing the script given by you i.e jdr_utils.printdocument('/oracle/apps/pon/negotiation/creation/webui/customization/site/0/ponDefineHdrPG');
Its giving "Error: Could not find document /oracle/apps/pon/negotiation/creation/webui/customization/site/0/ponDefineHdrPG".
Can you please guide me what i am missing.
Waiting for your reply at the earliest.
