Multiple-node WebCenter Spaces config with default file-based policy

hi,
My customer will use web center 11g on multiple linux server, I noticed there is a comment in wc doc like this:
=========================================
The default file-based policy store can only be used for single-node WebCenter Spaces configurations. For multi-node configurations, you must reassociate the policy and credential store with an external LDAP-based store (such as Oracle Internet Directory) as described in Section 23.4, "Configuring the Policy and Credential Store."
The policy store can be configured to use Oracle Internet Directory 11gR1 and 10.1.4.3, and OVD 11gR1 with the Local Store Adapter (LSA).
The identity store can be configured to use the following LDAP servers:
Oracle Internet Directory (OID) 11gR1 and 10.1.4.3
Oracle Virtual Directory (OVD) 11gR1 and 10.1.4
Sun iPlanet version 4.1.3
Active Directory shipped as part of Windows 2000
Open LDAP version 2.0.7
Novell NDS version 8.5.1
========================================
My customer only has AD, they don't have budget to buy oid at this time, according to the statement "The policy store can be configured to use Oracle Internet Directory 11gR1 and 10.1.4.3, and OVD 11gR1 with the Local Store Adapter (LSA).", does that mean the wc policy store can not use other ldap such as ad in multiple-node wc configuration?
If performance is not an issue, can I use default file-based policy store in this case?
If it's impossible for the customer to buy oid at this time, what's the possible solution?
Thanks a lot!
Regards

You can configure directly with AD.
Basically your WebLogic server needs to be configured to talk to AD. You can configure an Identity provider in Weblogic server which uses AD as LDAP.
This should work in multi-node environment.
Also, i do not see any reason why file based jazn-data should not work.
Best solution from my perspective if Weblogic AD configuration does not work:
Create and manage your users and roles in Weblogic embedded LDAP. All you have to change in your application is the realm to the name of weblogic realm(default is myrealm) and while deploying make sure you uncheck the create users and roles.

Webcenter spaces integration with ADFS

Hi,
Has anybody integrated Webcenter spaces application with Active Directory Federation services (ADFS), Is there any documentation available for the same. Please let me know if there is any specific documentation.
TIA

In an ADF Page, I'm able to drag & drop various Webcenter task flows from the Webcenter services catalog. This is working with Webcenter services and not with Spaces.
Spaces is not available as task flow. So, i need to know how the spaces can be placed in a ADF Page.

Problem with default file access permission

Hi,
I am accessing a common area '/NFS_DATA' by both my java and oracle codes by the users 'javaUsr' and 'oraUsr' respectively.
As per the requirement, the oracle code (oraUsr) needs to create some file in the specified location and then the java code (javaUsr) needs to update those files (created by oraUsr) with some new data.
At present scenario the 'oraUsr' creates files with default access permission 644, which does not permit 'javaUsr' to update them.
Constraints : I am not supposed to set umask at the .profile of 'oraUsr'.
Execution of any shell script from oracle procedure is not permitted.
Is it possible to specify file-system specific default file access permissions??
Any idea to overcome this issue??

Webcenter Spaces integration with Lotus Calendar, Sametime, Quickr

Hello all,
I'm working on a project which involves building an intranet Portal and the customer has Lotus 8.5 which wants to integrate in the Webcenter Spaces 11g "portal". More precisely they want to have in their portal the lotus calendar portlet, lotus mail portlet,lotus notes portlet, lotus sametime portlet ..etc. I found an old documentation and sample of this kind of portlets developed by Oracle but they don't work because of some errors when they try to retrieve the Lotus configuration. The documentation is this one : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/point/lotusnotes/installation.html
I tried to find the authors of this documentation, or perhaps who developed the portlets and ask them if they can adapt the portlets for an integration between Webcenter Suite and Lotus Notes 8.5. If somebody knows about this topic or can help me with fixing the problem I have with the portlets please let me know - my e-mail is [email protected]
Thank you very much, your help is very much appreciated !

Hello,
First of all let me thank you Brad, for taking the time to answer, it's very nice of you. After I read you post I spent a couple of hours searching for the installer of the recommended "WebLogic Portlets for Groupware Integration". After searching everywhere I could possible search : OTN, E-Delivery, Metalink, ias.us.oracle.com I could not find the installer of this portlets. In the Installation Guide it says : " 2. Download the software from the Oracle Software Downloads site. " - there is nothing related to Portlets for Groupware on OTN.
Now, I'm ashame but I have to give up, I guess perhaps this portlets for groupware integration are bundeled into some kit with a different name, I don't know, believe me I tried to find them, I searched the documentation but with no luck.
I would be very thankful if you can point me to the installer of this portlets. Thank you very much again !

Disk space issue with log files

I noticed that I was running out of disk space, so I downloaded OmniDiskSweeper and ran it. Turns out that the main culprit is log files. They are located in /private/var/log/asl. However, OmniDiskSweeper won't let me delete them (it doesn't give an error message or anything--it just won't delete the files). What are these .asl files and how can I delete them? I cannot see them when I open up the Finder, so I assume they are hidden. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Those log files are created by the "Apple System Log" process. The first thing I'd do is to use the Console utility to examine what's in them to see if there's anything obvious that should be fixed. In Console, open the "/var/log" item on the left, open the "asl" item, then select the first item in the list. You'll see a lot of gibberish, but you'll also see some text.
To navigate to those files in the Finder, use the menu item Go -> Go to Folder and type "/var/log/asl" (without the quotes) in the field, and click "Go".

After installing WebCenter JPS-06514: Opening of file based keystore failed

SOLVED: Customer was using WebLogic 12c which is not supported. Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.6.0 is certified with WebLogic Server and 10.3.5 and 10.3.6.
Folks,
Installed and verified WebLogic, created a domain and a test managed server. Everything came up OK including the console. Then wiped the domain and installed WebCenter 11g.
Specified HTTP (not SSL) for all ports. However, I get the JPS-06514 error now when trying to start the admin server. Have followed the online advice, such as deleting cwallet.sso and allowing it to be recreated, chmod 777 cwallet.sso... no change. No more info from setting the debug flag, -Djava.security.debug=jpspolicy.
Thoughts?
Please advise.

Adding Custom screen for Create Space functionality in WebCenter Spaces

I need some information on WebCenter Spaces.
By default there are couple of parameters such as Space name, description, tag, url, status (Public, Private) etc. is required to create the Space with the Out-of-the-box screen in Spaces. But we have a requirement to create Group Space with some additional parameters too.
I am finding a solution for that. Can we build a task flow with all the parameters that we need to create the Spaces ? If that is possible, can we use Spaces API to create the space and then deploy that task flow in Spaces ?
Please let me know if there are any other options.

Hi.
Yes you can. Build a Task Flow consuming Spaces API (WebService or REST) and setting custom properties to it.
Steps that you have to follow is:
- Use API to create your group Space:
//create the Space
GroupSpaceWSMetadata gsMetadata =
client.createGroupSpace("Databases", "Databases" "A community for people interested in databases", "databases, oracle", "CommunityofInterest");
//print the Space GUID to provide confirmation of creation
System.out.println("GUID: " + gsMetadata.getGuid());- You can add programmatically custom attributes:
//create the custom attribute
client.setCustomAttribute("Databases", "Vendors", "List of vendors", "java.lang.String", "Oracle, IBM");Code is from WebCenter Spaces API off doc: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_spaces.htm#CIHIJBIG

Discussion and Announcement Services in webcenter Spaces + Active Directory

I had successfully customized Discussion and announcement Services in webcenter spaces using the default authenticator user WEBLOGIC. And it was working fine.
I was able to post and configure announcement and also able to create forums and threads in webcenter spaces.
Now i have Successfully integrated my ACTIVE DIRECTORY to WLS. And now i want to configure discussion and announcement using active directory users. i am facing problem in it. I am able to login to Webcenter spaces as well as 8890/owc_discussions and also in 8890/owc_discussions/admin (jive forum admin) using AD users. i have also given admin roles to ACTIVE directory users in 8890/owc_discussions/admin under Global Settings -> Admins & Moderators .
When I tried to configure Discussion and announcement Services in webcenter spaces it gives me errors like.....
(1) The service did not get provisioned.
(2) failure to authenticate the user *******, due to: Unable to connect to discussion server.*
Do i need to make changes in keystore.properties & jive_crypto.jar ? Do i need to make a new connection in EM inside WebCenter > Service Configuration.
Please help.
Thanks

Have you set up ws-security between your webcenter and discussion server? If not you need to set it up to get rid of the authentication error.
Are you setting up a single-sign on between all webcenter components using OAM? If so there is an additional step to add/update owc_discussions.sso.mode property under discussion admin.

Migrating ADF Security from file-based provider to LDAP provider

We have deployed a small application using ADF Security with file-based provider in OAS and it works fine.
Now we want to migrate to ADF Security using LDAP provider.
In order to make this possible we followed the next steps:
- Migrate all the roles and policies from the file to OID with JAZNMigrationtool.
- In OAS we've changed the Application Security Provider to 'Oracle Identity Management'.
- Reset the OC4J instance.
But there was no success, the application continues working with the file-based provider.
What more is necessary to configurate?

Hi,
if you use EM make sure you change the setting for the application, not the general OC4J setting.
You can also deploy the provider settings with the orion-application.xml file added to your project

Change default text in adf faces component in Webcenter Spaces

Hi ,
Here is the link that I found to change the default text in adf faces component. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/49-skin-component-labels-169191.pdf
Scenario is simple :
Taskflow "ABC" is used in webcenter space through imported Library in spaces App. Taskflow "ABC" have the pageFragment "view1" and fragment has a adf table on that page. I was trying to change the "Detach" text using below code in above provided instruction.
{ "af_panelCollection.LABEL_DETACH_TABLE_DLG", "Any name for the Detachable Table" },
{ "af_panelCollection.LABEL_DETACH_TREE_TABLE_DLG", "Any name for the Detachable Tree Table" }
Query/Problem : I did change in the trinidad-skins.xml of DesignWCSpaces app ... redeployed the war.. But the text didn't changed. The above steps worked fine for individual ADF application ... SO what's wrong with implementation on Webcenter Spaces ?

Hi.
Basically you have to do the following:
Create an ADF JAR Library including your Skin (JS, Images, CSS Skin, Resources Bundles and trinidad-skins.xml)
Deploy the ADF JAR Library as Shared-lib in WebLogic.
Include in your weblogic.xml of the WebCenter Portal (Formerly Spaces) deployment via DesignWebCenterSpaces or the new extension the reference to the shared-lib.
Restart WebCenter Portal (Spaces). When starting WebCenter Portal (Spaces) it looks inside of the Classpath for all trinidad-skins.xml files.
Setup your custom skin for a Space and test.
If the Skin is not selectable in the Administration Console then register your new skin downloading/updating/uploading from the MDS the generic-site-resources.xml file of the default scope GUID.
If you still have issues then may I priorize a Blog entry explaining this .

CMS crash with core files and multiple report output generation

Happy new year to everyone,
Our BOXIR3.1SP6FP2 env has recently started behaving weirdly by triggering multiple output to users inbox and email notification out of scheduled reports. Also we have noticed the CMS crash with core file (almost 4GB) generation at the time of multiple report output.
Most of the times, CMC crashes and recycles itself. At few times, CMS services alone went shut down.
OS details: RHEL 5.5, 32 GB RAM, 8 core processor on each of the clustered node, Oracle 10GR2.4 CMS DB server, 11GR2.4 oracle reporting DB server and oracle 11.1.0.6 client.

Hi Denis,

Below is the observation as part of troubleshooting:

2. CMS DB sits in a different Linux server than BOE server.
3. All core files were generated by boe_cmsd process and are almost 4GB in size (same as max threshold which it breaks).
4. Shell script which I've added in the BOE servers shows that the CMS DB is available/connecting at the time of CMS crash.
5. SAP analysed the Core files and skeptical about the below lines.
     #3 0x58687b80 in skgesigCrash ()
      from /opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/client_1/lib32/libclntsh.so
     #4 0x58687e0d in skgesig_sigactionHandler ()
I'll continue troubleshooting with a hope to fix it at the earliest.

BizTalk Mapper - Looping multiple nodes to map to a single node in a single row (flat file)

Hi everybody,
I'm still new in developing BizTalk app and require some help in this one problem. Appreciate your time and input to help me on this.
Basically I have an XML document as input and a flat file as output. Example for input is as per below. The "Contact" node's maxOccurs here is set to unbounded and could be multiple. (phone, fax, website, telex ...)
<root>
<CustomerName>Company A</CustomerName>
<Contact>
<Type>Phone</Type>
<Locator>03566789</Locator>
<Type>Phone</Type>
<Locator>03566790</Locator>
<Type>Fax</Type>
<Locator>03566795</Locator>
<Type>Telex</Type>
<Locator>03566798</Locator>
<Type>Website</Type>
<Locator>www.companyA.com</Locator>
</Contact>
</root>
The expected output in XML would look like below. The final outcome would be a csv file. Strictly Phone 1, phone 2, fax and telex, the rest would be ignored.
<root>
<CustomerName>Company A</CustomerName>
<Phone1>03566789</Phone1>
<Phone2>03566790</Phone2>
<Fax>03566795</Fax>
<Telex>03566798</Telex>
</root>
Example of expected output result (csv file): CompanyName;Phone1;Phone2;Fax;Telex;
In our case here: Company A;03566789;03566790;03566795;03566798;
Another example could be: Company B;036778911;;036778912;; if only 1 phone number and 1 fax number provided.
I've used Table Looping and Table Extractor and nearly got the desired result except that it is represented in multiple rows instead of one: Example:
Company A;03566789;;;
Company A;;03566790;;;
Company A;;;03566795;;
Company A;;;;03566798;
Any idea how to do the mapping? I'm kind of stuck here and it sounds like an easy problem but i could not find any example to the solution that I need here. Table looping and table extractor is ok to map from single node flat file to multiple nodes but not
the reverse like in this example.

sportivo

File download from a portletized ADF app running in webcenter spaces.

Hi,
I am having trouble downloading non static files from a portletized(with ADFPortletBridge) ADF application running as a portlet producer in Webcenter spaces .
This is my scenario :
Jdev : 11.1.1.3
Webcenter : 11.1.1
The ADF app has a query page, that uses the af:query component to do a query and display results on a table. This table data need to be exported as a file with some changes like splitting address to component city and state columns .
The ADF app makes use of af:filedownloadlistener to get this(HTML formatted file with an .xls ext is our current preference to get it to open in excel, but could be anything) done . The ADF app works just fine, but as section 30.2.5.5 in the web center dev guide points out http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_bridge.htm#CACBHDEF
> The <af.fileDownloadActionListener> component is not supported.
The actual behavior however is that the export happens when triggered, but the component keep serving up the same file it created the first time it got invoked every subsequent time. The same file is served even across sessions.
The alternatives I've considered so far are :
1. <af:exportCollectionActionListener> - Exports what you see on the UI table. Would not work for us, because our exported data is different than whats on screen. (eg: whole addresses are displayed as a single column, but broken down as component city and state columns in exported data )
UPDATE : <af:exportCollectionActionListener> exhibits the same behavior as <af.fileDownloadActionListener> in a portlet environment. The first time after deployment it works, and every subsequent time (across sessions) it serves up the same file it first generated.
2. redirect to a servlet - admittedly half baked idea - fiire an action that will generate the report, then put it in sessionScope , redirect to a servlet that would pick up the report from session and stream it to the user by setting the servlet's response content type. Very unsure if this would fly in a portlet environment (sorry, I'm new to portlets) and even if it does, section 30.2.5.2 in the web center dev guide says :
Do not redirect or forward a request within your JSP. JSR 168 only supports requestDispatcher.include(). The use of httpServletResponse.sendRedirect() or requestDispatcher.forward() results in exceptions and errors. Am I overlooking some feature that would let me do this or whats the recommended method to achieve this functionality of exporting a file generated at run-time in a portlet environment ?
Edited by: Jeevan Joseph on Oct 14, 2010 1:02 PM

I'm facing the same problem. Do you have any news on this issue?

Will EC support setting default file type and Open With from file menu?

The default file types I can live without, but at least allow for Open With on right click from Windows Explorer.
I currently have EC set in the Open With programs list, but EC does not comply for any files I opt to open it with (.css, .php, .html etc).
EC open but not the file I choose.
Also, even though the above use case is not ideal when if I do attempt an Open With when EC is already open, a new application session starts instead of attempting to open in the currently active app frame. It would be ideal to allow for single app frame, multiple files when Open With is employed.
Darrell

Hey Darrell,
Thanks for the feedback. How Edge Code treats files is definitely something we know isn't ideal and it's something we're looking at fixing soon. There's currently a story on the Brackets backlog that adresses the Open With issue - https://trello.com/c/GhF1Bgf9
And it based on howit ranks in that priority it looks like we could potentially take that into Edge Code over the next couple of months.
This is definitely a feature that we think is important before we consider ourselves 1.0 so it's high priority.
