Multiple Portals on One Infrastructure?

I am migrating (rebuilding not upgrading) several client portals from Portal 3.0.9 to 10g. In 3.0.9 I had several separate databases with Portal repositories in each database and each portal had a different DAD.
I have seen some posts which state that in 10g there can only be one portal repository per infrastructure and only one infrastructure per server. Can someone please confirm this and point to the documentation which states so?
I have read "Supporting Multiple Sites and Companies in a Single Portal Instance with Virtual Private Database" (Paper #32650). Sounds like the perfect solution to my problem. But what is the performance hit of deploying Virtial Provate Database (VPD) and virtual private portal? Has anyone actually deployed VPP, and has a story to tell?
Thanks,
Trenton

Thanks for the info. Here's a few more details. I
have two Linux servers with lots of RAM and disk
space. One runs the midtier and the other the
infrastructure. According to your post, I should:
1. Install multiple portal schemas (portala,portalb,
etc) to the existing asdb database using opca and/or
ptlasst (I assume these still exist in 10g).Trenton, We do support multiple DAD's per portal mid-tier and multiple portal schema's per database in Oracle Application Server 10g but only for upgraded portals, not for new portal installations. I strongly recommend NOT to use ptlasst in 10g to create multiple portal schemas in your existing asdb instance.
2. Associate each of these with the existing OID.
3. Install Mulple Oracle Homes on the Midtier server,
each associated with a different portal schema
(portala,portalb, etc) on the infrastructure server.
(Why not just different DADs in the same midtier?)
Do I have it right?Unfortunately not, the process I would recommend for 10g is:
1. Install one Oracle Database Home (either 9.0.1.5, 9.2.0.4 or 10g) using the Oracle database installer
2. Create multiple database instances using dbca (or your favourite method), one for your OID/SSO and one for each of your portal product metadata repositories (you can use the OID/SSO database for your first portal portal product metadata repository also)
3. Run the RepCA (Repository Creation Assistant) against all of these db instances to turn them into proper OracleAS Metadata Repositories
4. Install a second Oracle Home using the OracleAS 10g installer:
- Select a Product to Install >> OracleAS Infrastructure 10g
- Select Installation Type >> Identity Management
When you are prompted for a database use one of the existing db's you just created for your Identity Management DB (oid/sso/etc schemas)
5. Re run the RepCA -REGISTER (Repository Creation Assistant) against all of the db instances (except for the one you just chose as your Identity Management DB) to register them all with the OID service you just installed.
6. Install your your first portal mid-tier in a third oracle home using the OracleAS 10g installer and when prompted by the installer and wire it to your Identity Management services & First Product Metadata Repository (there will a pop-list in the installer for all the db's you just registered)
7. Install your your second portal mid-tier in a fourth oracle home using the OracleAS 10g installer and when prompted by the installer and wire it to your Identity Management services & Second Product Metadata Repository (there will a pop-list in the installer for all the db's you just registered)
8. Install your your third portal mid-tier in a fifth oracle home using the OracleAS 10g installer and when prompted by the installer and wire it to your Identity Management services & Second Product Metadata Repository (there will a pop-list in the installer for all the db's you just registered)
9..and so on...
I'd appreciate a look at your
draft whitepaper if that would help. It's only applicable for people who are performing an upgrade, not a rebuild or new install of 10g so it wouldn't really help you.
Compared to the
VPP solution how would this solution be for
administration, CPU intensity, etc.? Also since all
portals would share the same OID/SSO server, would
there be a problem with the client user administrator
seeing the users of other clients?
In general I would not recommend using VPP as this setup is not widely used and is quite specialised.
Thanks Again,
TrentonHope this helps,
Mick.

  • Sharing portlets across multiple portal applications

    Hello all,
    I have a single enterprise application that consists of several portal web applications. Most of these portal web applications have common portlets within their codebase. Is it possible to share portlet code across multiple web applications?
    Thanks

    No, not possible, in the same way that sharing JSPs and Pageflows wouldn't be possible across multiple webapps. You can, however, have multiple portals within one Portal webapp, and then you could share portlets and portlet resources amongst those portals.

  • Multiple Domains with one single Portal

    We have installed Oracle Infrastructure and Oracle Midtier on one box. Let's say the domain name is http://www.abc.com. When we query http://www.abc.com, it
    goes to the SSO (Infra) and validates the username and password and takes it back to the Mid-Tier Portal Pages. At this junction, everything is working as expected.
    Now, we created two more webpages and they correspond to two domains -- let's say http://www.pqr.com and http://www.xyz.com. The two webpages that got created were PUBLIC pages, so anybody can have access to those pages.
    Can we implement our requirements using one infrastructure and one midtier (1st)installation? OR do we install two more midtier (2nd, 3rd) to correspond
    to each domain name which are www.pqr.com and www.xyz.com and then have the proxy server redirect the request for www.abc.com to 1st-Midtier, www.pqr.com
    to 2nd-Midtier and www.xyz.com to 3rd-Midtier?
    We have a apache proxy server installed in front of the 9iAS, but we are going to use it just for redirection.
    I understand Oracle Infrastructure has only ONE portal Schema and so how would multiple midtier (webpages) will reside? Do I need to create another PORTAL repository and a new DAD, so that www.pqr.com points to the 2nd-Portal Repository and www.xyz.com points to the 3rd-portal?

    Through a single mid-tier it is possible to configure Oracle HTTP Server/Web Cache such that they are configured to handle multiple logical site names (e.g. www.pqr.com and www.xyz.com) by using Virtual Hosts.
    In terms of a single Portal Repository being accessed by multiple mid-tiers (or logical sites), this is not currently possible since the Portal Repository is configured with only one set of site details.
    For further information on configuring Virtual Hosts and Portal see the Advanced Chapter of the 10g Portal configuration guide...

  • Create multiple portal instances with only one database?

    Can someone create multiple portal instances with only one database?
    If so, how is this done, just by running the portal configuration wizard?
    How are most people running with multiple developers working on portal? Do they share a portal instance, or create their own?
    Thank you very much!

  • One TREX server for multiple Portals?

    I have the same requirement as that contained in this thread:
    TRex for Multiple Portals
    I wonder if anyone can technically elaborate a bit what the procedure for this configuration.
    I would have to install a TREX and create a TREX instance for each Portal that I want to give TREX service?
    Each instance points to a different host?
    My requirement is to use the same TREX to both DEV and QA Portal hosts.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. !!

  • Accessing multiple portals at the same time?

    Is it possible to access multiple portals at the same time?
    For example, what I want to achieve is different properties (layout,
    portlets, look & feel) for different groups of users accessing the same
    portal. The Associated Groups part on the Portal admin page is not
    fulfilling our requirements. So we decided to have different portals for
    different groups of users, all working through one portal, and accessing
    their custom portals. Is this achievable?
    What we are thinking is: put the common functionality in the repository
    portal directory, and the custom portlets/jsps in the group-specific portal
    directories. This way we can customize portal behavior for different groups
    of users. Is this achievable?
    Thanks.

  • How to make multiple portals work in same domain (wlp 9.2)? IMPORTANT !!!

    We have domain where one portal application is in production now and other portal application have to deploy in the same domain.
    The first one is using global scoped DataSources and the new one is using application scoped because they have to use own schemas in the database.
    Also Group and User/role management have to work application scoped, meaning that in one's portal admin console shows only users/groups/roles to that portal.
    How do I do this and what is the optional/best practises to do this kind of configuration, configure and deploy multiple portals in the same domain ?
    I get so far that I make new SQLAuthenticator and XCAMLRoleMapper to the new portal but when the LDAP and database goes out of sync and I delete P13N -tables and LDAP, server start creates only to the first portal database the needed rows and delegated admin management doesn't work in the new one at all.
    I have read all bea's documents related to JDBC - application scoping, deploying, security P13N and I can't get enough information from it to make this work.
    Thanks !

    You may want to ask in the weblogic.developer.interest.portal forum.
    I don't believe that group and user/role management can be application
    scoped.

  • How to Configure Multiple Portal Middle Tiers with a Load Balancing Router

    Hi,
    Portal version trying to install 10.1.2 on Windows 2003 boxes.
    I am following the guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1012/b14037/cg_advnc.htm#i1046354. I have InfraStructure installed on a different box and am trying to install 2 Portal Midtiers each on separate boxes and using LBR. The above document is kind of confusing as I am trying to following
    5.3.1 Step 1: Install a Single Portal and Wireless Middle Tier (M1)
    5.3.2 Step 2: Configure OracleAS Portal on M1 to Be Accessed Through the LBR (AND FOLLOW ARE THE STEPS 1 to 14 in sequence)
    if I follow 1 to 14 steps in sequence the information is not consistent what is being listed in the following sections
    5.4.1 Create Virtual Hosts
    5.4.2 Configure OracleAS Web Cache
    5.4.3 Register OracleAS Portal with OracleAS Single Sign-On
    i.e.
    ptlconfig -dad portal -sso -host www.abc.com -port 7779
    ptlconfig -dad portal -sso -host www.xyz.com -port 7779
    as in the above steps it says to run

    and ssoreg command that always fails because I am running it from midtier as it gives error saying invalid username/password
    as oppoesed to steps listed in point 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
    Can someone please privide the steps in sequence I need to follow when installing 2 midtiers with frontend LBR and one infrastructure. I am trying to follow the architecture listed in the above link.
    Any help is really appreciated.

    Hi,
    Will appreciate any inputs on the following.
    I am planning to install Infrastructure and one Midtier BI Forms Reports Discoverer, Portal on one windows box and the second midtier BI Forms Discoverer, Portal on the second windows box.
    Please correct me if I am wrong on installing and configuring the mid-tiers as following are the steps I have compiled going through the document and want to make sure this time I do it right.
    As I'll be installing BI Forms Reports Discoverer, Portal so wondering when I install the second midtier do I need to unselect all Portal, Forms, Reports, Discoverer or just the Portal I need to unselect.
    Also in the host file of both the windows boxes do I just need to keep the LBR IP Address entry and remove the rest.
    LBR:_
    Computer Name: bigip5.prd.com
    IP Address: *167.123.2.5*
    Listen Port: *80*
    Invaidation Port: *9401*
    Infrastructure:_
    Computer Name: portal1.prd.com
    IP Address: *167.123.2.6*
    Oracle HTTP Server Listening Port: *7777*
    Application Server Control port: *1800*
    M1 (Portal & BI Forms Reports Discoverer):_
    Computer Name: portal1.prd.com
    IP Address: *167.123.2.6*
    Oracle HTTP Server Listening Port: *7778*
    OracleAS Web Cache Listening Port: *80*
    OracleAS Web Cache Invalidation Port: *9401*
    OracleAS Web Cache Administration Port: *9400*
    Web Cache Statistics port: *9402*
    Application Server Control port: *1810*
    M2 (Portal & BI Forms Reports Discoverer):_

    OracleAS Web Cache Administration Port: *9400*
    Web Cache Statistics port: *9402*
    Application Server Control port: *1810*
    First to create MetadataRepository and then Install Infrastructure and then follow the below steps to install Midtiers
    Install and Configure of M1 (Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer):-_
    *5.3.1 Step 1*: Install a Single Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer (M1 i.e. portal1.prd.com)
    *5.3.2 Step 2*: Configure OracleAS Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer on M1 to Be Accessed Through the LBR
    *1.* Configure LBR
    *2.* Follow Section 5.4.1.1 to create the Virtual Host for bigip5.prd.com (LBR) and portal1.prd.com (M1)
    *3.* Define a site that matches the virtual host entry for bigip5.prd.com (LBR) on Webcache of M1
    *4.* Use OracleAS Web Cache Manager on M1, to map the site bigip5.prd.com (LBR) to middle tier portal1.prd.com (M1).
    Follow steps 5 and 6 as per the document
    *7.* Configure bigip5.prd.com (LBR) to accept invalidation requests from the OracleAS Metadata Repository on a separate port i.e. 9401
    *8.* Change iasconfig.xml on M1
    *9.* run ptlconfig -encrypt
    *10.* Register the URL changes with OracleAS Portal by running ptlconfig -dad portal -wc -site
    *11.* No need as it is http only
    *12.* Run the follwoing
    MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1\sso\bin\ssoreg.bat
    -site_name bigip5.prd.com
    -mod_osso_url http://bigip5.prd.com:80
    -config_mod_osso TRUE
    -oracle_home_path MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1
    -config_file MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1\Apache\Apache\conf\osso\osso.conf
    -admin_info cn=orcladmin
    -virtualhost
    *13.* Edit targets.xml to enable monitoring of the LBR's front-end host and port settings for OracleAS Portal
    +<Property NAME="PortalListeningHostPort" VALUE=http://bigip5.prd.com:80/>+ and then run
    MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M1\bin\emctl reload
    *14.* Test the setup
    Install and Configure of M2 (Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer):-_
    *5.3.4 Step 4*: Install a Single Portal and BI Forms Reports Discoverer (M2 i.e. portal2.prd.com)
    *1.* As I am installing on wiondows so will not set IASCONFIG_LOC environment variable as I can just copy the iasconfig.xml file from M1 to M2
    *2.* Run OUI on M2
    *3.* Clear the selection for OracleAS Portal but don't know if I need to unselect Forms , Reports, Discoverer also.
    *4.* Enable OracleAS Portal
    *5.3.5 Step 5:* Configure the New Middle Tier (M2) to Run Your Existing Portal
    *1.* Create both virtual hosts as done on M1
    *2.* Copy dads.conf, oradav.conf, cache.conf, web.xml from M1 to M2
    *3.* Re-register mod_osso on M2. To do this, perform the following steps by copying osso.conf from M1 to M2
    *4.* Synchronize the DCM by using the following command
    MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M2/Apache/Apache/bin/ssotransfer MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME_M2/Apache/Apache/conf/osso/osso.conf
    *5.* Run dcmctl updateConfig
    *6.* add the necessary mod_rewrite and mod_oc4j directives to the httpd.conf and mod_oc4j.conf files respectively
    *7.* Restart Oracle HTTP Server on M2
    *8.* Access the OracleAS Web Cache Manager on M1 and follow steps 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 for Webcache seetings and clustering.
    Also will appreciate if can get some info on the following:
    *1.*
    When I configure the Webcache as per the Document but if I bring down one Midtier Instance the requests are not going to the other Instance that is up and ignores the case whether an instance is down. Any idea how what and where do I need to provide any setting which in case of instance is down routes the requests to the one that is up.
    *2.*
    What exactly happens when it says To enable monitoring of the LBR's front-end host and port settings for OracleAS Portal edit target.xml. Is this for LBR to find if an Instance is down or not and route the requests appropriately.
    Thanks again for all the help.

  • How to associate multiple sites on one standard instance?

    I have multiple websites that I want to put on one Standard instance. When I click on the scale link for a given website - it doesn't give me the option to add other websites to the standard instance. It creates a new instance for each website which really
    racks up the billing charges. How do you put multiple websites on one standard instance?

    The sites were already created and were under the standard instance. I thought it was just running one instance until I saw the credit balance going down quick. When I checked the websites using the new portal - they are actually under 4 web hosting plans. 
    I changed them back to the free one. Now when I try to change the plan to standard for a website - only that website's plan is changed. The other do not. There is no option for me to put the others in the same instance.

  • How do I add multiple images into one file?

    I'm sure this is something that's been covered in another post (or even in the help portal) but I think my wording in my search terms are not correct or... I don't know, because I just can't find what I'm looking for.
    I want to know how to add multiple images into one file/one image, both horizontally and/or vertically. To give you an idea of what I mean, check out :
    http://www.best10apps.com/apps/comic-story,531596060.html
    If you scroll down, you'll see a heading entitled : Screenshots of Comic Story. Notice how there's 3 pictures (divided by borders). 2 of those pictures are side by side, and 1 of them is below the first 2 pictures.
    I want to know how to add different pictures/images and put them into one picture.

    One way is to create template PSD files and populate them with your images using Photoshops scripts.
    Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED June 12, added Picture Package Support via PasteImageRoll and BatchPicturePackage scripts.
    The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
    There are eleven scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
    TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
    CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
    LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
    InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
    ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
    ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
    PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
    BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
    BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
    BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
    PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.

  • When displaying multiple curves on one 2d graph in reports how do I force one curve to be in the foreground?

    When displaying multiple curves on one 2d graph in reports how do I force one curve to be in the foreground? I have two signals and I want to show one overlayed on top of the other. Right now Diadem will only graph it the other way around. I have tried deleting the curves and re-adding them in differnt orders, changin the order they are in the curve list, changing their order inthe data portal, right clicking on the curve and selecting "move to forground" (this only moves the entire 2-d graph object to the foreground). Im using Diadem 12.0 Basic.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Joe,
    I figured out what causes your curves to draw in the wrong "order".
    You are using two Y-axes, and DIAdem always draws the data for Y1 before Y2, no matter what the order of the curves is in the "Curve and Axis Definition" dialog.
    I am attaching your layout with a small modification, I changed the Y1 and Y2 axis order (I swapped which Y-axis the data is displayed on), and I get the following result:
    Once I looked at your layout it became clear why the order of the curves didn't reflect the order in which the curves were drawn. I didn't know this - so I just learned something new here as well.
    I hope this answers your question, feel free to ask if there is anything else I can help you with.

  • SMSY//Logical component definition - multiple roles for one system?

    Dear all,
    as our client has a divided system landscape (three-tier operational line as well as two-tier development line) some systems have more than one role to fill. The development system on development line is source system for all developments, as well as post-processing system for retrofit purpose from operational line. The maintenance system on operational line is target system for developments from development line, as well as source system for maintenance activities on operational line.
    --> What are the consequences of assigning multiple roles to one system?
    --> Is there anonther option than assigning multiple roles?
    Best regards
    Nick

    We have Event Manger 7.0 installed into a stand-alone SCM 7.0 system. When trying to set this up in SMSY, the only options given for setting up the Logical System is to associate with with EHP3 or EHP4 for in ECC 6.0.
    Obviously we have not installed EM into ECC. So where are the other appropriate entries in SMSY for recognizing that EM is installed in SCM?
    1) This system must be maintained as SCM 7.0 in SMSY and not as SAP ERP 6.0 or EHPX for SAP ERP 6.0, this is the reason as you can see this system SCM 7.0 can be assigned just to SAP ERP 6.0 or EHPX for SAP ERP 6.0.
    2) There's no Main Instance available to be selected when you have a SAP SCM 7.0. You must select one or more of the following main instances below.
    BI Content
    SCM Server

  • Mapping between multiple portal user with single R/3 user

    Hi,
        It is possible to map  multiple portal user to the single R/3 user? If yes, than what is procedure to achieve it? It is possible to logon same time more than one portal user which is mapped with same R/3 user in production system?
    Thanks,
    Kundan

    you can always do that using user mapping in user admin->identity management
    where for each user details you get a tab  called user mapping.
    you have to create a R3 system in system admin and a give a system alias to it
    Use this system alias in user mapping /
    You can map multiple portal users with a single R3 user and can work parallelly.
    But make sure that you have proper license in doing that.

  • Single desktop, multiple portals

    Hi all,
    Does anyone have any experience or suggestions for accessing multiple
    portals from a single portal desktop. Let me explain by way of an
    example. Suppose you have three portals - Employee, Salesforce, and
    Administration. Everyone has access to the Employee portal, salesmen
    would have access to Employee and Salesforce, administrators would have
    Employee and Administrations, and sales managers would have all three.
    When the user logs in, if they have access to more than just Employee
    portal a portlet (or tabs, or something) would appear as part of the
    portal page allowing switching between portals. This switcher is
    available in all portals.
    I have a pretty good idea how to handle the "switcher" and creating the
    appropriate URLs. The main problem I'm having is the sharing of the
    login credentials. How can I have a single login authenticate and
    authorize the user for all the correct portals?
    Thanks for any info!

    Eddie,
    The group portal capabilities are available in WPL 4.0. The only
    customization you would need to implement is the switcher.
    The out of the box framework will recognize if the person belongs to more
    than one group portal and will offer a selector to choose group portal to
    login to.
    Please keep in mind that a group portal is a virtual portal based on a
    physical portal webapp.
    Take a look at the portalTools application. It will give you a good idea
    what you can do with a group portal.

    Hi all,
    Does anyone have any experience or suggestions for accessing multiple
    portals from a single portal desktop. Let me explain by way of an
    example. Suppose you have three portals - Employee, Salesforce, and
    Administration. Everyone has access to the Employee portal, salesmen
    would have access to Employee and Salesforce, administrators would have
    Employee and Administrations, and sales managers would have all three.
    When the user logs in, if they have access to more than just Employee
    portal a portlet (or tabs, or something) would appear as part of the
    portal page allowing switching between portals. This switcher is
    available in all portals.
    I have a pretty good idea how to handle the "switcher" and creating the
    appropriate URLs. The main problem I'm having is the sharing of the
    login credentials. How can I have a single login authenticate and
    authorize the user for all the correct portals?
    Thanks for any info!

  • Multiple portal server instances

    Hello,
    I have one solaris box with JES 2005Q4 installed. I need to set up portal application development environment for multiple developers. I'm thinking about having multiple portal server instances. Is this configuration possible? Should I create multiple directory server and access manager instances as well or is it possible use one with multiple configuration instances?

    Installing multiple instances of portal is only possible if you are installing in a Solaris 10 Whole-Root Zone. Create a new zone for each developer and then install all of the necessary JES components in each zone. This includes Directory, Access Manager, Application Server, and Portal.
