Multiple Portal page loads cause Param to become undefined

Sirs,
I am new to this so please bear with me. I was very please to
get SPRY "tab" and "accordion" panels to work in our PORTAL
(oracle). The only roadblock I came across is beyond my control.
The portal pages load twice. I cannot change that. On each page I
have two "separate" tab panels. I need to reference one tab panel
on another page and am using using "SpryURLUtils" param object to
do this. The second portal page load cancels it out and instead,
the last TABBED panel to load (no matter what ID is referenced on
it) receives the call and opens that panel instead.
How can I keep the "?tab=0&panel=1#OPENTHECORRECTPANEL"
in play when coming from another page? I have tried to use the
"javascript: undefined" but I am new to Javascript and cannot get
it to work. (I know enough to understand what is going on but have
no real experience in creating my own code.) Has anyone else
experienced this and how have you overcome it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, we have the same problem. Our setting with the mdc.host works allready. But we must start the iview directly by url without out the portal around.
We use this Url:
https://<portal>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prteventname/Navigate/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fevery_user!2fgeneral!2fdefaultDesktop!2fframeworkPages!2fframeworkpage!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage!2fcom.sap.portal.contentarea?NavigationTarget=ROLES://...
Now we have the problem that the second cookie in the other domain, will not be created?
Have you any solution?

URL of the current portal page loaded using Javascript ?

Hello:
I am trying to add programmatically the url of the current
page loaded in the portal to the 'Favorites List'. There
is a pre-built KM iview to store your 'favorites'.
I can extract and write to this 'favorites' using KM java
API. But only challenge is to extract the current loaded
page URL and title using Javascript.
I would appreciate any help in this regard.
Thank you very much,
Prasad Nutalapati

Dude i was having the exact same problem. I solved it using the SAP-provided EPCM (javascript client framework).
Javascript Code
var pageName = "";
var URL = "";
function bookmarkPage()
     /* page url */
     var fullURL = "https://<%=request.getServerName()%>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=" + URL;
     /* IE bookmark */
     if(EPCM.getUAType() == EPCM.MSIE)
          window.external.AddFavorite(fullURL , pageName);
     else
          var msg = "Sorry. The \"Add To Favorites\" feature only works with Internet Explorer. " +
                      "The URL to this page is " + fullURL;
          alert(msg);
/* get pagename from eventObject from subscribed event */
function getPageObject(eventObj) {
    pageName = eventObj.dataObject.title;
    URL = eventObj.dataObject.URL;
/* subscribe to event in pagetoolbar area */
EPCM.subscribeEvent("urn:com.sapportals:navigation", "AddNavTargetAllowDuplicate", getPageObject);
End of code
Basically, what this does is that everytime a page loads, the innerpage, where the content is, raises an event using the EPCM.raiseEvent() method. EPCM.subscribeEvent subscribes to an event called AddNavTargetAllowDuplicate which has an object holding the page information (i.e. page title and URL (ROLE://...)). Everytime that it notices an event raised, the function getPageObject gets called to go get data from the event object that is available globally in the framework.
You should be able to put this code anywhere in any iview and it should work. Thou i have only tried putting it in the masthead. Try and if you still have questions please let me know.

Oracle Portal page load performance

We have implemented Oracle Portal - Our HOme Page takes a long time to load. Can anyone suggest ways to improve the page load performance for portal

- please look at the application log and apache logs. do you see any indicators there? are you getting any errors too (timeout errors, etc) along with slow speed?
- performance depends upon a variety of factors. please tell us about your system, version, number of servers and the number of users and size of db.
- please be a little more descriptive in your questions to get a reasonable answer. that's usually a sign of an Administrator who should be dealing these issues, instead of an amateur developer for whom it shouldnt be a concern.

How to load use an image library in the portal pages

Hi,
How to load an image library in the portal ? Do I need to load images in an Apache directory and access them via URLs, or do I need to upload images to a specific portal page, and access these images via specific URL ?
Thanks for your help,
Jean-Christophe

Another easy method is to create a dedicated page in Portal and use it for the storage of images, flash objects.
Load the images as item type FILE and use the 'direct access' method (HOST:PORT/pls/<DAD>/docs/PAGE/<PG NAME>/<PAGE_NAME>/IMAGE.GIF)to access the file from a URL command.
This way all your images are protected in the database, easy to add and find (via search or by adding descriptions, categories etc) via role based security and in theory should be quicker to access (via the URL) due to the indexing capabilities of the database.
Place the images in a location that is not going to cause a page navigation issue such as in its own Page Group or as sibling page to your top level parent page etc.
Hope this helps.

Guest Portal web page load is slow and timesout on occasions

Hi All,
I'm hitting a rather unusual issue with our Guest WLAN users. Firstly let me describe the topology:-
2 x 5508 WLC controllers one Foreign and one Anchor. Mobility tunnel between the two WLC's as the Guest WLAN is on the WLC sitting in the DMZ.
30+ 2702i AP's running in FlexConnect mode for Dot1X WLAN and Central Switching for Guest WLAN.
Cisco ISE 1.3 acting as Radius server and providing Authentication and Authorisation policies.
Dot1x Authentication and Authorisation works fine with Dynamic VLAN assignment based on AD memberships.
The issue is with the Guest WLAN is that from a security perspective we weren't allowed to use the Central Web Authentication using L2 MAC filtering with the L3 Security of None as described in Cisco Document: 115732.
So the Guest WLAN has been set up with no L2 security and the L3 Security of Web Policy with Web Authentication to External Server i.e. Cisco ISE and RADIUS override on the Advanced tab of the Guest WLAN.
So a client connects to the Guest WLAN SSID > receives the DHCP IP address hosted by the Anchor WLC and then one opens a browser types in the URL and the Security message is presented > Continue to this website (not recommended) selected and the process of receiving the Web Redirect Sign On Web page begins and hangs around forever.
Depending on the Client i.e. Apple IPAD the sign on page loads correctly although can be slow to start with but a successful login is completed, but with windows clients and MAC Air books there is an issue with the browser either timing out the page and a retry is necessary or we can't move beyond the following page - https://x.x.x.x:8443/portal /PortalSetup.action?portal=194a5780-5e4e-11e4-b905-005056bf2f0a?switch_url=https://1.1.1.1/login.html&client mac=00:23:4e:86:98:3c&wlan=GUEST&redirect=www.cisco.com/
Any suggestions would be really appreciated with this as it's creating a lot of frustration.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Yes Guest Cert will need to be external. Because Guest Users if they have a non-corporate laptop for example will not have your Internal Company Certs installed in their browser (that you loaded onto ISE), so they cannot trust your internal Cert.
If your open Firefox or IE under Options/Security View Certificates you will see a list, if its a Guest you will see well known public Certs like Geotrust, Verisign etc.
For my setup I brought a GeoTrust cert and loaded this into ISE, this way Guests will always Trust the Geostrust ISE cert like https://guest.com for example and the login will appear and be trusted.

Firefox 3.6.16 won't keep the "custom settings for history", thus causing page-load issues - any clue how to make it "stick"?

Ever since I updated to Firefox 3.6.x I am getting constant page-load errors on apps in Facebook. I've cleared the history, the cache, cookies... and will literally set it for the "custom history settings" in my tools/options/privacy tab, reload the page, it's fine. I go to another page and come back to the app (same window) and get the error message again. Back to tools/options/privacy and "Remember History" is showing, rather than the custom settings. This is happening incessantly.

I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

Recommended configuration for load balanced Portal with load balancer, multiple gateways and multiple servers.

Does anyone have a recommended network, hardware and software configuration guide for a Portal installation running with multiple gateways load balanced (ie one URL) that talk to multiple servers?

David,
We've used Resonate (software) to load balance the gateways. It allows
you to group all the gateways under 1 virtual URL and load balance the
incoming connections over each gateway depending on the rules that you
define in Resonate. Look in the SUN portal whitepapers there is one that
talks about it specifically.
As far as load balancing the calls to the portals, the gateways will
automatically load balance across all the portals that they know about
using a simple round-robin rotation. You may be able to use Resonate in
front of the portals but you may need to activate persistance within
Resonate to ensure that the user always ends up on the portal that he
established his initial connection on (if you want that), check with Sun
on this one.

One portal instance - multiple URLs & Pages

I have created multiple portal_home pages on one portal instance and would
like to redirect calls from two different URLs to specific Portal_home
pages. For example, when the user types in http://foo.us.oracle.com they
are redirected to http://foo2.us.oracle.com/pls/portal30/url/page/page1
and those who type http://foo2.us.oracle.com are redirected to
http://foo2.us.oracle.com/pls/portal30/url/page/page2. How can this be
done?
Thank You,

Same Page definition label in multiple portals giving error in 10.3

Hi,
We are upgrading our Portal app from 8.1 sp6 to 10.3. Our different portals use the same page levels (for the common pages). Now this configuration is giving error in 10.3 during compilation. For us the change the page levels will be big code change. Is there any way to solve the problem.
Thanks
Vishnu

Hi Vishnu
Yes, in WLP 10.3.x (May be from 9.x onwards..), you cannot have multiple .portal files with same defintion labels for Pages/Books etc. There is a validation code. BUT you can overcome with this. From Workshop IDE top menu open Window -> Preferences. In Preferences window on left side, select Validation node and expand it. On right side, you will see bunch of Validators. Uncheck checkboxes for Manual and Build for entries like "Weblogic Portal Validator", "Weblogic Portal XML Validator" etc. Try "Weblogic Portal XML Validator" first and see if this works. If not, try unchecking other stuff also like "XML Validator" etc etc. Try one at a time.
I am not sure if there are any side effects as the information of all these .portal files gets stored into Database. But I guess the PK will be portal_Def_id, so you may be ok. Give this a shot and see if it works.

Page load time of portal

What is the average page loading time of webcenter portal?

2 to 5 content presenters on a single page is to much. You need to try to consolidate the content so you can minimize the number of content presenters on a page.
Most of the time the problem is in the content model. Even complex content models can be put in a single data file by using lists and so on. This way you can minimize the CP's to one or two per page.
When using coherence you should always set the expiry-delay for the ContentNodeCaches to 0 which means that coherence will never invalidate the cache!
The reason behind this is that the connection to UCM implements a content sweeper which will invalidate the cache items that have been changed. In the Enterprise Manager you have the field "Cache Invalidation Interval". This will determine the interval in which a service from UCM is called to check which items have been updated. This will also notify coherence and update the nodes with the new version.
That's why the expiry delay needs to set to 0 in coherence.
Also set the high units to 80% of your entire repository that is used on the top pages. This can easily be 10000 without problem.
I'm planning on writing a blog post about these configurations later on.
The JOC configuration is OOTB but you need to run a script to enable it. It is recommended when you use WC Spaces.

IAS 1.0.2.1 - 1.0.2.2 Upgrade causing Portal Page errors

We had Portal working, and have just upgraded iAS from 1.0.2.1 to 1.0.2.2. After the upgrade we commented out the duplicates in jserv.properties and zone.properties.
We followed the instructions to check that Portal still works before we upgrade 308-309 but the portal30.home page gives a file not found error. In jserv.log there is a ClassNotFoundException for ParallelServlet, but wwpage.jar is in the wrapper.classpath in jserv.properties.
The jserv and servlet demos work fine, we can even login and see the gateway config screen (we have a custom login page), but as soon as we go to any portal page we get the error.
Can anyone help? We are working on Solaris.
Thanks
Jenny

I have the wwpage.jar referenced in zone.properties and no mention in jserv.properties, and it works fine. I think this is the way things are on a default 1.0.2.2 Solaris installation (I'm pretty sure I haven't changed the defaults).
e.g.) in zone.properties
repositories=/u09/app/oracle/product/ias1.0.2.2/Apache/Jserv/servlets/wwpage.jar
Hope that helps,

Multiple elements sliding : Make initial element visible on page load?

Hi Folks,
I'm exploring sliding mulitple elements as demonstrated on this page:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/effects/multiple_slides_sample.html
My question is if there's a way to set the first (or any) of the elements to be visible when the page first loads. The example is currently set up so that you have to click on one of the buttons before you can see any of the elements.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion, but it doesn't appear to
work for me. Deleting the display:none attribute makes Slide 4 appear on
page load and disrupts the proper functioning of the buttons.
I would like Slide 1 to appear on page load and for the buttons to function
normally (of course).
Any other suggestions? I do appreciate your help.
Thanks!

ADF ProcessScope -- I get a new AdfFacesContext on each page load

I am trying to store some variables in the ADF processScope. But the next time the page is loaded and calls the managed bean methods, the AdfFacesContext is different, and so the processScope is empty. The managed bean is session scope, and I am setting the processScope variables in the bean's Java code.
In particular this happens when I click on the af:table pagination links, e.g. the "next 25".
How can I get access to the same AdfFacesContext (and therefore the same processScope) the next time the page loads and calls the managed bean?
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.
Here is the example code, and the output that is produced from my System.out.println statements:

private String label;
private static int counter;
public Controller() {
// initialize list with Map objects
for ( int i = 1; i<10 ; i++) {
Map map = new HashMap();
map.put("A","first column");
map.put("B", "row " + i);

As you can see above, the AdfFacesContextImpl object has changed, so I have lost the ProcessScopeMap.

Thanks for your help,
JbL

Thanks for the idea, Murph.
I didn't need a session scope bean, request would be fine, I just was trying to make something work that would allow me access to the process scope attributes. I want to allow multiple browser windows searching on different objects independently, so I don't want to use session scope.
I tried removing the variable declaration and setting/getting the processScope attribute in the setter/getter methods, to make the process scope attributes independent of the managed bean. But each time the page loads (by clicking the table navigation links), I still lose the process scope attributes. I tried with both session and request scope beans. Either way, in the getLoad() method, when I try to get the label from the process scope (using the new version of getLabel()), it is null.
So the root problem is still there.
For continued discussion on this more specific problem, see my separate thread "JSF ProcessScope attribute missing on page reload from af:table pagination"
at JSF ProcessScope attribute missing on page reload from af:table pagination

Cluster Apex MS's across multiple nodes for load balancing?

Can Cluster Apex MS's across multiple nodes for load balancing? If Yes/No, any supportive doc's will be much appreciated.
Here is what I did ..........
I tried multiple MS's on different nodes for Apex Domain (clustered)
Deployed apex.war, i.war with targets pointing to cluster.
Apex listener techstack is shared filesystem $HOME/apex, where apex-config.xml and bdb are available
Anyone of the MS's whichever started up first is locking up bdb and 500 server shows up when internal workspace is being launched with host specific url, where as it works fine for the host which actually locked up bdb (first MS that was started)
2nd MS shows errors as below in log files ..
Caused By: com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentLockedException: (JE 4.0.103)$HOME/apex/bdb The environment cannot be locked for single writer access. ENV_LOCKED: The je.lck file could not be locked. Environment is invalid and must be closed.
Its expected behavior until here .....
++++ I tried something to get it working ++++
Whilst both MS's are up and running, delete $HOME/apex/bdb but let apex-config,xml be as it is...now the internal workspace urls for both hosts work fine. I logged into host specific urls and navigated, created/edited users.,etc and it is all looking good but it did not create new bdb directory under $HOME/apex ...!!
Having said its working fine, the same issue repeats after the MS's bounce. So I did put a command line to delete bdb dir once the MS comes up to avoid the issue but really not sure if this is the right way at all?
Geek's ...awaiting your advice!!

Hey there,
I managed to fulfill my requirement..
If its a cluster on same machine or across machines, this should work
1. Login to machine, cd $DOMAIN_HOME
2. mkdir -p Apex_lsn_config/AdminServer Apex_lsn_config/<MS1> Apex_lsn_config/<MS2> # MS1 and MS2 are the Managed Server names as appropriate
#If you are planning for cluster spawning MS's across machines, make sure you create the dir's on step 2 for each machine respectively. (in my case $DOMAIN_HOME is not shared)
3. Copy apex-config.xml from the /tmp/apex or whatever location you have it currently to Apex_lsn_config/<MS1> Apex_lsn_config/<MS2>
4. cd $DOMAIN_HOME/bin; cp -p SetDomainEnv.sh SetDomainEnv.sh.orig #Backup the file
5. Append -Djava.io.tmpdir in SetDomainEnv.sh as below for JAVA_OPTIONS # Do it on both machine if you are not sharing DOMAIN_HOME and planning cluster across machines
-Djava.io.tmpdir=$DOMAIN_HOME/APEX_CONFIG/${SERVER_NAME}
Hint: Search for "iterativeDev" and append the same line with -Djava.jo.tmpdir
6. Modify "java.io.tmpdir" from the web.xml file of apex.war as below and re-deploy the war
<context-param>
<param-name>config.dir</param-name>
<param-value>${java.io.tmpdir}</param-value>
</context-param>
7. Bounce Weblogic Admin and Manged Servers. Make sure to tail the Managed Server log to see apex-config.xml is picked from the new location.
8. Brew a Coffee for yourself :)
- You find the instructions on creating a cluster from weblogic documentation, the steps mentioned above are only to overcome the bdb locking issue whilst creating a cluster.
Did it help?

Web garden - first time the page loads only one chart appears

I have a page with 2 charts in a web garden(it's a sharepoint application). The charts are created programmatically in the Page Load ethod of a custom webpart. Originally we had issues with charts appearing and disappearing but I have changed
the config setting to the following and both charts appear most of the time:
<add key="ChartImageHandler" value="storage=file;timeout=20;dir=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\Myweb\uploadertemp\;" />
The problem I'm having is that the first time a user views the page only one of the charts appears. If i navigate away and return to the page both charts appear. Is there and issue with my config settings that is causing this behaviour?
Thanks
Karen

The answer to this (after months of toying with settings and permissions) is not to user the chart control in a web garden. I have seen the same issue multiple times on-line, with no concrete solution offered .
My workaround is to save the chart to a memory stream and write it to the page as an image, not as a chart control:
Chart chart = new Chart();
//Add data and chart settings here........
using (var chartStream = new MemoryStream())
chart.SaveImage(chartStream, ChartImageFormat.Png);
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image chartImage =
new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image();
chartImage.ImageUrl =
"data:image/png;base64," + Convert.ToBase64String(chartImage.GetBuffer());
chartParentControl.Controls.Add(chartImage);
