Netfile in portal 6.0 - stable?

Hi all,
Don't want to rock the boat too much here, but I'm wondering for people using portal 6.0, and utilizing Netfile (java2 implementation), with SRA installed as well.
How do you find it? -> I know there have been some bug fixes / patches for it, to cure NT permission issues, and other items. BUT this add-on seems to be quite problematic for users trying to use it.
Are other admins seening usability/stability problems with netfile ?
I know 6.2 netfile is being overhauled, so I can't wait for that possibility, but I'm being forced to look at alternative products to provide netfile services....
for instance, a vanilla install of portal 6.0, I cannot create a directory, raised a ticket with Sun on this, and the SE was able to re-create this issue too (yay)
BTW how about performance too.. without going thru the gateway, netfile screams, but add the gateway in the picture and your uploads (at least in my case) REALLY suffer.
One interesting thing, as soon as I went from a client java version 1.4.1_0x to 1.4.2_01 uploads were DRAMATICALLY faster, to the tune of instead of 10 mins, 1.5 minutes for the same file size... I definetly urge any users of this to ensure they upgrade to the latest JRE, it somehow makes a bit difference!

I have exactly the same problem.
Here's the entry from the Log below.
I have another EP user who does have access to the Component Inspector. Anyone tell me what we need to do give other users access to Component Inspector? I've tried all the portal roles but that doesn't make any difference.
TIA

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

WL Cluster: install of weblogic is not working properly

Cluster install of weblogic is not working properly. We are getting kicked out every now and then
from the portal when both PIA1 and PIA2 nodes are up. When we shut down one meaning switch off clustering
then we are fine(Portal becomes very stable).
env setup:
Weblogic 9.2 with MP1-p5 and all the patches on Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 32 bit

JES 2 (2004/Q2 and 118263-14 - Portal 6.3 PC 14)

Hi all,
Just wanted to 'ping' the crowd, has anyone else tested JES 2 and the current public release 118263-14 (portal 6.3 and patch cluster 14) ?
My PC12 (plus patch from 13 to fix a bug regression) is rock solid, but doing some testing with PC14, I find that once 1 single user logs in, and retrieves the authenticated portal desktop, you can refresh the screen (F5) and you'll start to see the 'webservd' threads escalate, and after a short while, it continues past "999" and will soon core dump the webservd process (a single user can cause this within 30 seconds)
Has anyone else experienced this ?
I'm not rocking the boat, and only have 115766-01 (Access manager 6.2 PC 1 installed)
SUN support is on this, but wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Thanks
Dave

Hey There,
If you are using 6.0.. stop, pull out! eject ! Do not pass Go. at a minimum java client versions will give you grief. Yep the docs are a tad... errr.. lacking...
I'd suggest you at a min use 2005/Q1, it seems to be relatively stable, or patch 2004/Q2 to at least PC_9 or PC_10, and you should have a stable platform.
- We stopped using Netfile (the built-in samba share) due to it's poor performance, and reverted to a GPL version:
http://www.dragonsdawn.net/~gordon/smb-network/
- it's awesome with SRA, as it's incrediably fast, only drawback is it doesn't do deletes, whereas netfile gives you this.
- as far as the original thread, yes waaay back, I saw this error, and it had to do with some of the solaris TCP variables missing on a base install.
specifically "domainname" (type that at prompt and you should not see a "blank" return. (defaultdomain variable). Check all your other TCP settings as well and ensure everything is fully working,
Thanks

I need a reliable browser for portal.

I have a portal sertup at the moment with Messenging, Calendar, Instant Messenging and the Tarantella add-on installed. My problem is the browser crashes all the time. Netscape Navigator 4.78 is the version I am using. Do you have any recommendations to use for this product because without a stable browser for this product it is useless to my staff.
Any help would be great.
James
PS Navigator 7 is coming out does this have the staminer to support Portal 3.0 SP3, or should I wait for Portal 6.0?

The main reason you would need JVM support is for SRAP/Gateway ( for running netlets/netfile etc ..) which is what you would need for netlet and netfile support. SRAP/Gateway is still not released for portal 6.0 and will be released shortly. I believe the planned support for it would be Netscape 6.2.x browsers with java plugins. Listing of all the plugins will be available through the release notes, currently testing for it is still in progress, hence I did not list the plugins we support.
I believe Satish gave corrent information based on the release notes for Portal 6.0, now referred to as the core portal which does not contain SRAP/Gateway.

What do you NOT like about Oracle Portal?

Using a theme from a post on AskTom, I thought I would start one that details what customers don't like about Portal.
I've got a few:
PPE
When load balancing, it forces us to use NAT in the load balancer. Extra configuration, extra time, etc.
Java or MOD_PLSQL?
Mod_plsql has been around for a long time. It is robust and stable but a simple Dad for Portal is a mix of Java and Mod_plsql. It is not nearly as clean and stable as a mod_plsql application.
SSO
SSO should be part of the middle tier, not the Infrastructure. It just adds another hop and another thing to manage.
PTLConfig
ssoreg is for SSO registration of Partner applications. Easy enough. But wait, it doesn't work for Portal. You have to run ptlconfig for it.
SSL configuration
Wow, what a pain. A Java application or Mod_plsql application is easy to configure for SSL. Not true with Portal.
OC4J Portal In Process
Showing the status with opmnctl won't show in-process things like Portal. It can only be seen in OEM.
Explicit Path
In the HTML Portal generates, it has the full path to everything. I tried just changing the hostname in the httpd.conf file but that doesn't work either. We used setup.exe OUI_HOSTNAME= to change the host name of an install which works ok. When using multiple middle tiers, you have to use the real host name for each server and then use a VirtualHost all because Portal uses the full path instead of a relative path.
Migration of code
Portal doesn't really support the idea of multiple environments which every large company (which is a big part of Oracle's customer base) uses. Migrating a page group with all content from Test to QA isn't something built in like it should be.
I've got some more complaints about Forms, Reports, Discoverer, and SSO but this is just about opportunities for Portal.

heh. why so negative?
what about a thread about what you LIKE about Portal :-)

How to use ISE Guest Portal for AD users

Hi there,
As subject explains all, I want to use ISE Guest Portal for my domain users. I have tried many different ways to authenticate users and finally I came to the conclusion that ISE CWA works pretty well and is very stable. WLC Webauth sucks alot, does not redirect to the login page always.
Can you please share what other ways are stable ways to authenticate AD users? I know about WPA 802.1x authentication but that requires a CA in the network which is not available at the moment. So can you please Suggect?
Otherwise, I want to use ISE Guest Portal for my AD users as well. AD is already integrated to ISE, the issue happens when I attempt to athenticate using AD user account, the user gets authenticated but the Guest Portal redirects me to Device Provissioning page and there it shows an error saying "there is not policy to register the device, contact system admin"
Am I missing something??
I am running WLC 5760 with ISE 1.2
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Can you post a screenshot of your current policies? Also for 802.1x authentication although it is best practices you do not have to have an internal CA to make this solution work. You can disable the option to "validate server certificate" or you can use a trusted CA to sign the certificate for the eap interface.
In most cases 802.1x is the method to go because it provides dynamic authentication without forcing users to redirected to a web page multiple times throughout the day, scenarios such as computers that sleep or users that are mobile will not have connectivity until they redirect to the portal if one of the scenarios exist. You also gain WPA encryption on your WLAN, if you are using strictly layer 3 web auth you run into issues where encryption is not used and rely on encryption from the application as your method of data integrity and security.
Thanks,

Error message while starting IPM managed server and WebCenter Portal Spaces

Hi,
1. I am getting an error message when i try to start IPM_server1 in Oracle ECM. The message is as follows in the Command Prompt :
<Mar 6, 2013 5:05:50 PM AST> <Warning> <Munger> <BEA-2156203> <A version attribute was not found in element application in the deployment descriptor in C:\Oracl

A version attribute is required, but this version of the Weblogic Server will assume that the JEE5 is used. Future versions of the Weblogic Server will reject descriptors that do not specify the JEE version.>
2. When after some time the imaging server starts and i try to login it does not accept the username and password provided for EM. and login is unsuccessfull always.
Regarding my other issue is with Webcenter portal spaces :
1. I have installed WC_Spaces under the same UCM_domain where all other Managed servers are there.
2. When i try to login it always takes me to a screen which says : Internal error (stating some numbers regarding date & time). Please contact your administrator.
Need to fix these 2 issues very soon. Help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Satendra,
Is upgradation the only solution?No, it is one of the better options (and my personal suggestion) as PS2 release is more stable and has many more functionalities and features than PS1. The error which you are getting may be due to a corrupt installation. In case you want to solve this error only and do not want to go for upgrade, then feel free to raise a case with support.

New MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6) Freezes while playing Portal, WOW, etc,

I have the new macbook pro that came out February 2011 with Mac OS-X 10.6, and I have encountered multiple problems with the computer running sluggish and freezing up in some applications. For example while playing Portal, the computer will get extremely hot and everything will freeze while the fan slows down, then it will come back, and about 5 minutes later it does it again. Same thing happens with WOW and I'm sure with many other applications. Even will run slow while watching tv on Netflix. It's ridiculous and unacceptable. Is there a news release with a factory defect or an update available to fix this overheating problem? Thanks

Is there a news release with a factory defect
Not that I am aware of. Check Google or call Apple Care as you are still under warranty.
or an update available to fix this overheating problem?
User Tip: How to deal with MacBook Pro and MacBook heat?
Per your user manual: Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the ventilation openings.
From MacBook Pro: Care, Use, and Safety Information
For prolonged use, place your MacBook Pro on a flat, stable surface. Do not place your MacBook Pro on your lap or other body surface for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn.
with Mac OS-X 10.6
Use Software Update to update your os to 10.6.7 or you can go to Apple's download website to install the combo update. Also, update everything that is listed in Software Update that pertains to your computer.

Can't install Portal in a 9i Database

Hi
I can get PORTAL to install in an 8.1.7R3 database with no problems. However, when I give the Portal Installer the SYS Password and HOST:PORT:NAME the installer can't log into the database.
Originally, I assumed that it may have to do with SYS must login as SYSDBA requirement and I set O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY=TRUE, bounced the database and restarted the Portal Installer. Still the installer can't login to a 9i database as SYS.
Thank you for your time.

I have 9ias and Portal 3.0.9 running on 9i db on RedHat 7.2.
It was really no problem. The first key is to downgrade your
binutils until the entire install is finished and stable. Then
the 9i install goes in great. Next do the
07_dictionary_accessibility=TRUE thing....
After that, don't even try to let the portal config assistant
run. Even if you get past the can't log in as sysdba thing,
You'll NEVER get past the insufficient pool size thing. So, just
do the install: If enterprise, do not allow Portal to install at
all, do it in another install after. Otherwise, what I did, was
a minimal install. You'll need jdk 1.2.2 from blackdown for this
(even though you need 1.1.8 for 9i and the rest of 9ias). once
the install is finished, the Portal config assistant will kick
off, it WILL error, so just cancel it and do execute the silent
version of the installs (linstall, winstall). After that, it
will run slow and or timeout CONSTANTLY, so, all I did to
finally fix that was to delete or comment out anything that had
to do with the MTS dispatchers.... once that was done, my portal
runs like a shot.
Now if I could only figure out how to bulk load users from a
table from an old system...

Portal Upgrade from EP6.0sp10 to EP6.0sp18

Hi All,
I am totally new to portal upgrade.we have current version of portal as follows:
portal version is: 6.0.10.2.0
KMC version is : 6.0.10.1.0 (NW04 SPS10 Patch 1)
Trex Version : 6.1.10.01
1. I am little confuse about whats the difference between Upgrading from EP6.0sp10 to "<b>EP6.0sp18/ NW04sp18</b>".Is the process for doing above is same or different.
2. I heard from SAP that TREX must be upgraded first before KMC and Portal.Is it true? whats is reason for that
?what should be latest SP and patch for TREX?any documents?
3. Is there any specific sequence to upgrade like TREX->WAS>portal>KMC?
4. What about customisations objects,will that be seriously affected after upgrade?How to prevent that?
can anybody give the Basic knowledge of upgrade and process flow.
Thanks in Advance.Help will be greatly appreciated.
Amit

Hi Amit,
EP6 SP18 ist the actual Service Pack for Enterprise Portal. NW04 SPS(!) 18 is the complete Service Pack Stack for the NetWeaver platform. So if you want SP18 for your portal installation, you should get the whole NetWeaver platform in use for that to SPS18 (as you wrote, for EP this is normally WAS, EP, KM, TREX, eventually NWDS).
TREX normally has the same counting as the rest, but in fact at the moment there is no SP18 for TREX, but it is renumbered again. The actual version reads TREX 6.1 Patch 26.
Sequence is WAS -> portal -> KMC -> TREX. Anyhow, you should not await a stable version if using mixed SPs, especially if mixing 10 with 18 So get all in line and then restart working with your installation.
As you normally shouldn't have customized standard objects but copied them into your own namespace and worked on these, there shouldn't be a problem. If you haven't gone this way, with such an update you will learn how urgent it is to keep this in mind --- never change standard objects...
Hope it helps

Portal Drive Error--re-install SAP NW Portal Drive software and try again

Dear Experts,
Could you please let me know if there is any permanent fix for
Portal Drive inconsistence behaviour.
1.We use NW2004s SPS 13.
2.After the installation of Portal Drive (version 4.5.6796 ) on an
desktop, windows is not stable and must be restart (cold start).
3. After the restart the problems still exists and only a
deinstallation resolves the problem.
4. Sometimes the problem occurs on connecting to a service,
sometimes on disconnecting.
Sometimes on starting windows, but before the load of Protal
Drive.
5."Presently we are getting error SAP NetWeaver Portal Drive is not installed or configured correctly.Please re-install SAP
NetWeaver Portal Drive software and try again"
6. If we uninstall it and reinstall, it is working fine.
I wanted to know if there is any permanent fix for this inconsistance in Portal drive.
Because i have received complaints from more than 9 users in this week.
Really thanks for helping me

Hey just a update, so even though apple said the HDD was fine because of the S.M.A.R.T status and it was been picked it would be fine I did not agree, took my iMac apart went out to the local computer shop picked up a cheap 1tb WD HDD and now the iMac is worked fine and smooth :-)
So now I know that was the issue I can order a nice new SSD for the iMac and use the new HDD I got in an external case :-) just incase anyone had the same issue that's the fix. Buy a new HDD or SSD

Oracle Portal 3.0 vs Webdb 2.2

OS: WinNT4 DB:Oracle 8.1.6 256MB RAM, 400MHZ procesor.
I have used WebDB 2.2. for sometime now. The system requirements are not high. Moreover it is stable and very reliable plus the ease and availability of wizards and tools.
However the story is different with Portal 3.0. The Apache Server crashes very often; infact I am considering avoiding Portal 3.0 for my presentations to clients. The system requirements are too high, System and Users tablespaces have to be very large. I miss the Site statistics that is available in version 2.2. And you have to search very well before you can locate the right tool to get your work done. It is no longer intuitive, simple, straight-forward and cost-effective.
I shall appreciate if Oracle will take this problems into consideration in the next releases

Evans,
Thanks for your feedback. Which version of Oracle Portal 3.0 are you on? The production version (3.0.6.3.3 and above) of 9iAS Portal 3.0 offers site statistics - just navigate over to the monitor tab as the portal schema owner. We continue always to listen to feedback from our user community.
Best Regards,
Harry Wong

Portal 4.0 sp1 problem

I created 'myportal' strictly following the instructions, when tried to
access it, saw " Functionality temporarily unavailable" and a null exception
is thrown at welcome jsp doStartTag function.
I am using 4.0 sp1 under nt with cloudscape. We have a portal 3.5
application under 2000 server with oracle, we are thinking if we want to
upgrade to 4.0. Is 4.0 stable?
Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem as the original poster. I followed the
following directions that you outlined in another post:
To copy the necessary webflow resources:
i) Look at the definition of portlet3 in the EBCC you will see that it
requires access to a webflow called portlet3.wf. This file needs to be
datasynced to your new application.
ii) Locate the file portlet3.wf in the directory
applications/portal-project/application-sync/webapps/stockportal.
iii) Copy this file to the sibling directory
applications/portal-project/application-sync/webapps/myportal.
iv) Perform a data-sync.
First of all, the destination directory did not exist, so I created it. I
copied the portlet3.wf file to that directory, and performed a data-syncby
going the Tools|Synchronize in the EBCC. I still got the same error. I
then copied all of the files from stockportal to myportal, and syncedagain.
It still didn't work.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Sean

Jay,
If you are still experiencing this problem, please check that all the
webflow files specified in portlet3.portlet are available in the webAppyou
are deploying to. It looks like the portlet cannot find one of thewebflows
specified.
Sincerely,
Adrian.
