Monitoring WebLogic Portal Components

Hi All,
Consider me a novice to Portal land; hence pardon me for any irrelevant or obvious queries.
My requirement is to monitor the health/performance of WebLogic Portal Server and its components such as Desktops, Entitlements, Content Management, Portlets, Java Page Flows. This has to be accomplished using Java.
The metrics that I want to capture for each of these components are Response Time and # of times invoked.
Inputs on how I can write an application that can retrieve all this information and also insights to any other metrics, components I should be considering in order to be able to monitor a Portal Server holistically.
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks!

I am also a newbie to portal performance. I would like to extend this a bit
further:
1- does it make sense to monitor portlet performance by user?
2- is there anyway to correlate the portlet performance by a particular
transaction? Does this even make sense or would there be just too many
transactions?
3- what are the important poral server metrics to watch (ie. cache metrics)?
Thanks - Raj

How to install Weblogic Portal 10.3.0

Dear All,
I need to install Weblogic Portal 10.3.0 in two flavaors. 1) Single instance 2)In a cluster.
I'm relative new to Weblogic Portal. The platform is solaris 10 64 bit. Can anyone provide a step-by-step installation sequence?
I read the installation guide but it says nothing about how the installation would work. This is what I have done till now:
1. Installed the WLP 10.3.0 with Weblogic Server, Weblogic Portal and Workshop components.
2. After installation, ran config.sh command and configured Admin server and one managed server (to support portal).
But after my domain is created and I start my managed server, I see nothing in the deployments page. There are no errors either in the log files.
IS there a step I'm missing? Do we need to manually deploy portal application? if yes, how?
Any help would be truly appreciated.
rgds,
rb

Hi RB!
Sounds like you just starting off fresh with WLP. This may or may not help. I suggest learning some of the basics of creating a Portal.Ear file and deploying it to other environments.

Using WebLogic Portal
If you are new to WebLogic Portal, a short tutorial is provided to help you get started. See Tutorials – Getting Started with WebLogic Portal for more information. The tutorials discuss setting up a portal development environment, creating a portal, and assembling a desktop in your staging environment.
Tip: If you are unfamiliar with the Eclipse development environment on which Workshop for WebLogic is based, the tutorial “Getting Started with Workshop for WebLogic” located in the Oracle Workshop for WebLogic User’s Guide, is highly recommended; the tutorial shows you how to start Workshop for WebLogic and navigate the workbench user interface, introduces terminology associated with the workbench, and shows you how to create a simple web application.
The WebLogic Portal Overview provides a starting point for understanding and developing applications with WebLogic Portal. This chapter introduces portal concepts, describes the WebLogic Portal infrastructure framework and business services, and describes the portal life cycle, from architecture through development, staging, and production. The remaining chapters in this guide describe each phase of the life cycle in detail and provide a starting point for using WebLogic Portal.

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:

Weblogic Portal 10.3.5 using JSF 1.2 portlets with ADF faces

We are developing Portal site using Weblogic Portal 10.3.5 with JSF portlet 1.2 and ADF faces (ADF Application runtime 11.1.1.5 ). But the JSF portlets not supporting ADF faces. Please let me know how we use ADF faces in JSF portlet 1.2 in Weblogic Portal.

Hi Murthy,
We did a detailed analysis.
(1) How do we add ADF taskflows, JSF in to weblogic portal desktop/pages? Do we create portlet out of JSF, and display on desktop/page? If this is the case, what about ADf task flows?
--> Taskflows can be deployed as WSRP2.0 portlets. Note 2 options are there JSF page as portlet or taskflow itself as portlets.
(2) How do we integrate weblogic user profiles and UUP (unified user profiles) with ADF and JSF?
--> ADF Security can use Weblogic Server realm as the security provider. Entitlements in WLP will have to be provided based on Weblogic Server roles. In case you are using external LDAP then both can be integrated withe external LDAP
(3) Can anybody shed some light which this better?
(a) weblogic portal with JPF (Java page flows), NetUI --Legacy approach
Pros:
-Easy Development
-Well tested integrated
Cons:
-Future support
-Enhancements may not be available
-Not really portable or standards based
(b) weblogic portal with ADF, JSF?
Pros:
-If your on Oracle stack then great
-Standards based
Cons:
-JSF Portlet bridge issues
-ADF Faces does not work on IE6!
Well what we are going for is JSR 286, Trinidad components (Supports IE6), JSF.
Difficult choice.

ADF, JSF in Weblogic Portal 10.3.2

Hi,
We are designing new portal application on weblogic portal.
Per Oracle recommendations, use ADF, JSF instead of using legacy JPF, NetUI (BEA technologies).
If we use ADF, JSF; My questions are
(1) How do we add ADF taskflows, JSF in to weblogic portal desktop/pages? Do we create portlet out of JSF, and display on desktop/page? If this is the case, what about ADf task flows?
(2) How do we integrate weblogic user profiles and UUP (unified user profiles) with ADF and JSF?
(3) Can anybody shed some light which this better?
(a) weblogic portal with JPF (Java page flows), NetUI --Legacy approach
or (b) weblogic portal with ADF, JSF?
Thanks,

Weblogic portal 9.2 (development versus staging)

am brand new to Weblogic portal.
I was going through 9.2 portal tutorial and came across 2 section
a)create a portal in your development environment
b)assembling a desktop in your staging environment
I am confused because in both I can create portal/portlet etc....hence wondering what is the difference with "b" from "a"
thanks
M

Hello Manjit,
a> While creating a portal, developer creates a .portal file adds pages and portlets to the portal and then when runs the .portal file, it is a file based portal which is good in many ways but you cannot do personalization and entitlements to some resources like pages etc.
b> Based on the .portal file developed by the developer in part a, a portal admin or designated admin, can create a desktop in which case it is rendered as a streaming portal. It supports personalization and entitlement to all resources like pages etc. Also you can have multiple desktops based on a single .portal file. You can add, delete modify different components on a desktop like pages, books, portlets at runtime. Also you can have multiple desktops from same.portal file which can serve different users.
Now it depends on your requirements which approach you want to take.
Hope it helps
Thanks

Does OEM Grid Control 10g support monitoring Oracle Portal 10g?

Dear expert,
It seems OEM GC 10g could monitor WebCenter, Weblogic portal and even Websphere portal, but I could not find any info for Oracle Portal. So,
1. Does OEM GC support to monitor Oracle Portal 10g? If not, does it support Oracle Portal 11g?
2. If does not support Oracle Portal, then is there any workaround for it? E.g. if it’s feasible through “web appliation”?
Any comment and docs are welcome.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your help.
BTW, I have another question for your reply, that what do u mean by “You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager to monitor and manage OracleAS Portal”?
Do you mean OEM AS Console or OEM GC? Boz I only find these metrics from OEM AS Console, which mentioned in this doc. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/b25987/oracle_portal.htm#CHDFJHDD
If these metrics only available in AS Console, then how to let the OEM send out email notification if critical threshold is over?
Thank you.
Tony

Oracle Portal 11g, Oracle WebCenter Suite or Oracle WebLogic Portal ?

Witch of these technologies, Oracle Portal 11g,
Oracle WebCenter Suite or Oracle WebLogic Portal ?
is the future product of oracle ?
I am going to use portal but I don't know witch of these product is the correct one.
I need help to clarified it. As i am going to use portal I want to use the one that oracle intend to support

Hi Harish,
There are lot differences are available when you compare these three products, some them are
Oracle Web Center Suite
Comprises of various components such as Web Center Interaction,Oracle Entitlement Server,Oracle Personalization Server an Ensemble(for proxying content and mashups) and chat server,wiki server,blog server,forum etc are available with web center suite.The collaboration tools are out of the box,so you dont require to redevelop anything to enable collaboration for your site.Basically webcenter is more powerful when used to develop intranet sites rather than a website which requires less collaboration.
Oracle Portal 10g
Oracle Portal 10g is the primary oracle portal product before oracle bought BEA.The main difference is the architecture and framework,Oracle Portal uses sql/plsql intensively for processing the page as all their pages are developed from browser.Every thing you develop is streaming that is queried from DB in contrast with weblogic portal which has the feature of file based portal which is faster compared to the streaming(persistent desktops).The architecture is different compared to weblogic and webcenter.For ex:There are sql and pl/sql portlets which can be developed very faster which not there in the other two platforms.
Oracle Weblogic Portal 10.3
It is hot in the market right now and development is easier and architecture supports both file based and streaming,the primary features of all the portal product are more or less same but webcenter has more collaborative features.Weblogic portal is very stable as it is on WLS which is a stable weblogic server.
I prefer if you have any previous experience on any of these products then built on that one.Else start with weblogic portal which is easier to startwith compared to others.

Dinesh

Ajax Compatibility with Weblogic Portal 10.3.2

Hi,
I'm developing a POC for a large project. We plan to use Ajax functionality in weblogic portal 10.3.2 using Jsf portlets. I'm getting alot of compatibility issues using Jsf libraries like IceFaces or RichFaces. I've even removed the jsf bridge from the workshop and try to make it work but it throws alot of exceptions.
Is there any good Ajax library that works well in weblogic portal 10.3.2 environment ?
Oracle allows Jsf portlets to be created but does not provide any clear direction on Ajax compatibility. The base jsf components are not good enough to buid an enterprise level application.
DAMM .. dev2dev is also down.
Help would be appreciated.
Regards

Edited by: 787605 on Aug 10, 2010 10:48 AM

I worked through the document referenced in the previous post and I still cant get Open Faces ajax to work.
I keep getting
java.lang.ClassCastException: com.bea.portlet.container.ResourceRequestImpl cannot be cast to javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest errors.
The last thing I tried was to extract the javascript into a resources folder and declared it as a render dependency to the portlet, but that is giving me some issues too.
Another issue I get is Perm Gen out of memory about every 3 redeploys.
I know the library I am using uses a ton of AJAX for the cool form widgets it has, so rewriting the AJAX calls is not an option.

OEPE support for Weblogic Portal 10.3.0?

Hi,
I was referred to this forum by Konstantin:
replace Oracle Workshop for Weblogic with OEPE?
Does anyone know if Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse has tooling support for developing portlets/portals for Weblogic Portal 10.3.0?
Kevin

Thanks for your reply, Brad. It is WLP 10.3.
Unfortunately, since other components of the Oracle stack that we use are unsupported by OEPE, OEPE isn't going to be an option for us:
OEPE support for ODSI 10gR3?
OEPE support for OSB 10gR3?

WebLogic Portal vs. AquaLogic Interation (ALUI)

Have any documents been published regarding the benefits and drawbacks of choosing WLP vs. ALUI? I've heard that they are very different and portlets are not compatible between the two applications. So we're looking for guidelines on why/when a company should use one product over the other.
Thanks,
Michael

Michael,
My primary suggestion is to reach out to your BEA account representitive to help work with you to determine which product is the best for your project and organization. We've published many internal materials to help them make your decision easier.
It's a complicated topic, which I couldn't address fully in an email thread given that Portal projects vary widely in their nature, and both products are industry leading and include many components. That said, I'd like to clarify a couple points raised by another poster:
First, WebLogic Portal is a good candidate for doing federated Portals using a variety of protocols- in fact we are used for just this reason alone at many companies. Several companies are using WSRP in particular to consolidate literally thousands of existing applications into their Portals. As well, you might find this page on our support of alternative protocols interesting:
http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2006/12/adrenaline-portlets.html
Finally, both ALUI and WLP bring valuable and complementary technologies to the content management and knowledge management space which are worth evaluting in depth.
Best,
Josh

[Blog] Monitoring WebLogic J2EE on VMware with VMware vCenter Operations (vCOps)

Monitoring WebLogic J2EE on VMware with VMware vCenter Operations
The Blue Medora vC Ops Management Pack for Oracle OEM was updated in early May (2014) to include enhanced support for Oracle WebLogic J2EE integration. All of the Oracle EM target types for WebLogic related components including WebLogic Server, J2EE Application Deployments, Oracle HTTP Server, as well as WebLogic Cluster are now available to be ingested into VMware vC Ops Enterprise Edition.
With the data available within these new vC Ops 'Resource Kinds', you have the ability to create WebLogic on VMware relationship views, WebLogic on VMware mashup dashboards, as well as leverage vC Ops anomaly detection and predictive analytics on your WebLogic J2EE landscape. Below are a number of example dashboards that were easily created using the WebLogic data available within the Management Pack.
The first dashboard, the WebLogic on VMware Relationship View -- helps you visualize your WebLogic environment running on VMware all the way down to the VMware VM, ESX, and even Datastore level. This can useful for diagnosing critical J2EE applications running within the vSphere environment -- allowing you to quickly discern whether a problem exists in the Oracle WebLogic layer or one of the VMware virtualization layers.

Can you point me to recommendations on installing Hyperic on VMware virtual appliances?
Is it as simple as treating the appliance as a Linux VM during installation? Can vSphere be used to deploy Hyperic to a VMware appliance like vRA (non-IAAS)?

Java Portlets only JSR 168 compatible Portlet in Weblogic Portal 9.x?

I and need to develop a JSR 168 Portlet that contains JSF components. I have looked through a lot of the training material, newsgroups and web sites for any information on how to perform this within the Weblogic Portal tools and have been unsuccessful.
Is there a way in Weblogic Portal 9.x to create a Portlet that is JSR 168 compliant and capable of containing JSF components through the tool interface?

to build up UML Diagrams for my project .... any suggestions?

What is the objective of this modeling? Documentation? Communication?
Architecture? Design?
I would do the following:
o Model EntityBean components as the classic UML domain model
o Model SessionBeans / PipelineComponents as process / controller classes
o Model InputProcessors as almost interface classes
(See Jacobson: Robustness Analysis:
http://www.cs.hmc.edu/courses/2002/spring/cs121/slides06.6.pdf)
The most important artifact is the UML domain model...
You can also then draw sequence diagrams bringing together these different
types.
