Omniportlet Connection Failture

Hi,
Yesterday the usernames in our portal expired. We fixed this problem by resetting the passwords in the OID and changing the DAD under the portal.
Since completing this, our Omniportlets no longer function. When I try to edit the provider properties in http://hostname:7779/portalTools/builder/providerui/EditProvider I get the following error:
ERROR:
Connection to the OracleAS Infrastructure failed by Repository Access APIs. Exception message is ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied.
Not sure where to go to find where username and password for OmniPortlet.
We are using Oracle 9i Database with Oracle Application Server 10g.
Thanks to anyone who can provide information on this problem.
John

Hi,
I have the same problem. Any new information regarding the solution?

OmniPortlet Connection Problem

I have a dozen or so synonyms created against a schema. I am able to use them all in various portlets except when I get to the OmniPortlet. Some of them fail with the error: 'ORA-00942: table or view does not exist' when creating the 'Source' tab of the tool.
Since I've used the synonym in other portlets, I'm confused why its not recognizing it in the OmniPortlet??
I am able to create OmniPortlets using some of the synonyms...but not others. Has anyone had this problem or have any ideas of what to check...???
Thanks

We had a similar problem here with both Omniportlet and Webclipping.
The installed setting is also multi-tiered. The is load balancer at the front. The webcache is in the DMZ. The portal and infrastructure servers are behand another firewall. All are new installation, latest versions.
I don't know what's wrong. But here is what I observed.
1. The webclipping and omniportlet have been installed. When browse under Administration/Portlet, they are listed under the section of "Portlet Builders" in the Portlet Repository. But when you click on the link of "Omniportlet", you will get an error message of "This portlet cannot be contacted."
2. When you try to add a portlet to a region, these two portlets could not be located. They simply disappeared.
3. Under OEM, the portTools are listed as "loaded". Webclipping and omniportlet are also listed as "loaded".
4. When accessing the portTools provider configration page, that is, http://host:port/portTools, the pages shows.
Can someone help to point to a right direction to pinpoint the source of the problem? Thanks!

Where does Omniportlet keep it's database connection information?

Where in the infrastructure database does Omniportlet keep the database connections it asks for when setting up an SQL query? Occasionally we clone our production portal into our development portal and I'd like to programatically change what SID my omniportlet connections are pointing at in Dev.

I'm looking for the same thing, did you ever get an answer?

How to call a web service that is managed by web services manager from omni

Ok gurus... here is an interesting one for you.
We have a set of web services that are deployed to our server. We have Oracle Web Services Manager deployed to another server and is acting as a gateway to our web services.
We would like to call our web service and pass it the username and password that were specified in the omniportlet connection information screen. How do we go about doing this?
PS. We are using the latest version of portal (10.1.4).
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Cory

Just a follow up. What I would like to do is to have omni portlet add standard header information for security such as the following:
<soap:Header>
<wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<wsse:UsernameToken xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<wsse:Username>theusername</wsse:Username>
<wsse:Password>thepassword</wsse:Password>
</wsse:UsernameToken>
</wsse:Security>
</soap:Header>
Any ideas on how to get omniportlet do this? Any ideas on where to look for the answer? Oracle dudes: Any plans to add this to future releases?
Thanks again folks :-)

Unable to make a local CFHTTP request using CF9 + IIS7 + Vista

Hi CFers
Screenshot attached.
Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with CF not dealing with local CFHTTP requests to IIS on Vista.
So far it seems that CFHTTP makes a call to IIS, it shows up in the IIS logs as a 200, but CF returns a Connection Timeout (note it doesn't matter if you make it a ridiculous timeout, its a real simple page). Also if you make the request in the URL it in browser it's fine.
CFHTTP works fine for anything not local. It's not HTTPS and not using compression. Both CF and IIS are using the same user account. Running CF9 Dev Edition, IIS7 and Vista Business.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2218615/cfhttp-and-iis-7-connection-failture-not-ssl
I'm stumped, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Dave

G'day Dave
Hey, what happens if you give it a different useragent value? It's a long shot, but something easy to try.
When you're browsing to the URL and it works, you're browsing from the desktop of the server itself, yes?
And if you use the inbuilt JWS web server instead of IIS, it works fine?

Omniportlet SQL: Edit Connection - Receive error message - Cannot store ..

Gurus,
Portal version 10g.
Defining a omniportlet SQL. Click 'Next' button. Default SQL 'select * from emp' is displayed. Click on 'Edit Connection' button and receive the following error message:
Cannot store connection information in the repository because the repository has not been configured. Click Help for more information.
How to fix this problem.
Thanks,
Kaushik

You first need to configure the repository for OmniPortlet. For this, access the following URL -
{http/https}://{midtier host:port}/portalTools/omniPortlet/providers/omniPortlet
Click on "configure security repository" link. Access the context-sensitive help for any help on this screen. After that you should be able to use sql query with omniportlet.

Urgent OmniPortlet JDBC SQL Server - Unable to establish the connection

Page parameters not working with Omniportlet in 10G

Hi,
I have a fresh install of 10G (infrastructure and Portal in separate homes on the same machine). I can create an SQL-based Omniportlet with parameters, and it works fine. When I create page parameters, I cannot map them to the Omniportlet parameters. The "Portlet Parameter Values" section shows my portlet as "No Parameters".
I have verified that my page group has parameters and events enabled.
Here is what I'm doing:
1. Fresh install of 10G with Infrastructure and mid-tier in separate homes on the same machine.
2. Log in as orcladmin
3. Create new page group. Open page group properties and click on 'Configure' tab. Verify that parameters and events are enabled. Click Close button.
4. Add Omniportlet to default region.
5. Click 'Define' omniportlet
6. Choose SQL. Enter SQL text 'SELECT table_name FROM user_tables WHERE table_name LIKE :tbl'
7. Define database connection
8. Define bind variable Tbl as ##Param1##
9. Set default value of Param1 to %, and check 'Customizable'
10. Click 'Next' and accept all defaults until the wizard is done.
11. See results of query on page.
12. Click 'Properties' on page header
13. Click 'Parameters' tab.
14. When the tab opens, the omniportlet is listed as (no parameters) in the Portlet Parameter Values section.
15. Create page parameter tbl_name, set default value to %
16. Cannot map page parameter to portlet parameter, because my portlet is listed as (no parameters)
Is there anything I can do to make this work?
Thanks

Hello
This is a known issue, that could be fixed easily:
you need to refresh the OmniPortlet provider from the navigator.

Problem with XSL filtering in OmniPortlet

I have installed the portalTools apps on a standalone OC4J 9.0.3. I am trying to use OmniPortlet to call a web service that has a Document object as its return type. I need to use an XSL to transform the result, but I'm unable to set the XSL filter in the OmniPortlet wizard within portal. I put the URL of the XSL like so: http://<host>:<port>/test.xsl, but on apply I get the following error:
Failed to load user defined filter.
I can't save the changes without taking the XSL URL out. The XSL can be loaded in IE using this URL. Anyone run into this problem? Anyone use OmniPortlet successfully in this manner?
Thanks,
Jason

Thanks, Tugdual. I had tested the xsl before, but made some changes that didn't fly. I can load the xsl fine now. I am getting this error now:

How do I connect to the backend database?

I have both the infrastructure and the mid-tier installed on the same machine. I have created an omniportlet with specific connection information (username/password/connection info) to connect to a back-end (customer) database. Is this the correct methodology to use for connecting to the back-end database? I am concerned that when the portlet is moved to a production system then the connection information will be invalid and the portlet will not work.
Also, I have created a dblink to the backend database in the PORTAL schema, which exists in the iasdb (also sometimes referred to as the infrastructure repository, infrastructure instance). The iasdb obviously also holds the metadata repository. I can use this link within a DAD to connect to the backend database. My intention was to use this link to get round the problem of invalid connection info when the development system is moved to production, but the link does not work with omniportlets.
I am confused as to how the backend database is connected to by OAS. Can someone please explain to me how this is done in a system which has separate machines for client, infrastructure, middle (portal) tier and backend database?

Managed to figure out that I just have to let tnsnames resolve this issue.

Grant access to Omniportlet

Guru,
Created Omniportlet for SQL. The portlet displays scott.department information. The owner of the portlet is the developer logged in as PORTAL_DEVL. Page Access to VIEW the portlet is given to PORTAL_KM_USER.
When PORTAL_KM_USER logs in is not able to view the portlet.
Let me know the steps to publish a Omniportlet to be available to other users.
Thanks,
Kaushik

Did you specify to use the same connection for every Portal user?

Dynamic Portlet: Setting the database connection

With OmniPortlet, I can set the database connection I wish to use for that instance of the portlet in the configuration, but I can't seem to find a way to accomplish this with Dynamic Page portlets. How can I configure what server/user the portlet is using?
Thanks,
Rick

Damn. That is exactly what I was afraid of. We'll have dblinks all over the place!
Is there a way to create multiple instances of the Dynamic Page Portlet that use different database providers, or is that impossible? (I'm somewhat new to Portal, so forgive me if that is an ignorant question)
Thanks for the help!

500 error trying to register OmniPortlet Producer

(Disclaimer: The following post is from a JDeveloper/WebCenter newbie)
Following Section 3.7 in Tutorial for Oracle WebCenter Developers 11g, I am trying to register the OmniPortlet Producer in JDeveloper. I've got the preconfigured OC4J running and can access the producer test page at http://127.0.0.1:6688/portalTools/omniPortlet/providers/omniPortlet just fine using a browser. However, when I try to register the producer per outlined steps in the tutorial, I get the following Registration Error:

I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...
