Oracle 9i AS Portal and Web Appliances

To anybody's knowledge, is it possible to house the middle tier of the portal architecture (9iAS) on a web appliance such as the Cobalt RaQ4, or the Sun Netra?
My client would like to scale by adding more of these appliances as opposed to more expensive servers. Thanks in advance, and I'd be interested to know if anyone has gone down this route.

Oracle9iAS is available already packaged as an appliance! Check out:

  • BSP Application in Portal and WebAS Authentication popup

    Hello,
    we have a very well running SAP Portal SP14 and a BSP
    application running WebAS 6.20.
    SSO between Portal and WebAS works perfect. Profiles are maintained and verify.der is imported.
    But:
    From time to time we have users which open logon to
    portal and execute the bsp application, authentication is successfull, but after a certain period of time or any unknown incident these users get a popup from webas and they are asked(forced) to enter their username and password. It seems to be that their session expired and they have to re-authenticate. But they are still logged on to Portal.
    Can we prevent this popup from beeing shown to the user? Problem is, that they enter any password and they et locked
    Does anybody have the same problem?
    Thanks
    Maik

    Hello Maik,
    i am newbee in SAP.I have little proble with SSO.I am using Ep7.0
    Though i have imported the verify.der file and installed the certificate still SSO
    doesn't seem to be working.I am getting error as:
    "not authorized for executing BSP application".
    Do i need to give any particular role to users or  is any other setting required?

    Thanks, Kuassi

    Hi Kuassi,
    Thanks for letting us know that your book is available. I have been following one of your articles about "Virtualize Your Oracle Database with Web Services". More specifically "The Database as Web Services Consumer". I think that this is an area that has in the past been under estimated as to the potential benefits.
    I am currently trying to develop a solution that consumes several interfaces with a couple of them being published web services, so an ideal solution. I have then spent the last three weeks having to read up about the architecture of Java in the database, Jpublisher and make sense of how it all works together.
    I have got very close to getting one of the web services to work but failed due to using 10gR2 where all the java & libraries has moved to version 1.5. The solution is to load the jdk1.4.2 and configure jpublisher to use this. So far so good except this is not available on some platforms, Windows - 64 bit (not itanium).
    The configuration is proving very challenging but will hopefully reap rewards.
    (Thought I would give you some background to my experience).
    Anyway my question to you is having looked at Jdeveloper it appears to do almost anything except consume services into the database, also with Java now being at version 1.5 outside the database for 10gR2 and supporting 1.4 inside, do you see some alignment of these in future database releases?
    Finally off to buy your book now as no doubt there is a huge amount more to learn.
    Kind Regards

  • SSL Re-encryption with Portal and Web Dispatcher: certificate expired

    Hello,
    I am trying to set up HTTPS connection to the Portal through SAP Web Dispatcher. We are using SSL Re-encryption. I think I got everything set up correctly. When trying to access through a Web browser the web dispatcher trace file shows error message 'certificate expired'. Looking at the Portal (Visual admin - Keystore) I am pretty sure it is the service-ssl with localhost. It is expired. Two questions:
    - is it correct that it uses localhost or am I missing anything?
    - How would I recreate the certificate? (I am sure it is somewhere in the Online documentation, but haven't found it yet). Can I do this while the Portal is productive without breaking the normal access (http) to the Portal. This is our Production portal.
    Thanks,
    Ingrid

  • Setting OF LD_LIBRARY_PATH AND WEB CACHE PROBLEM [SHOWING PREVIOUS PAGE ]

    Dear Members,
    I would request for help regarding setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in Oracle 11G Application server and web cache problem when any single text file edit and save the result should not be changed . it shows previous page result.
    *1. Where to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in Oracle11g Application Server (10.3.0) ? [  like in 9ias we set in opmn.xml . ] Where is opmn.xml file in oracle11g or which files contained LD_LIBRARY_PATH?*
    *2. When we created program generated report it shows correct result after some changes in file and generate again it shows first means previous page result as it is not take changes in that file. Even we tried out side made one .text file and open edit and save. It's given same result. So What is the problem regarding it?*
    It is the matter of  Browser Cache or WEB Cache. Where is the settings of it?
    *3. How to connect database (oracle11g Release 2) through OCI driver?*
    Regards
    Vipul Patel

    If you're compiling it yourself, you should set the library path then. If not, you can try something like this:
    env DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/add-on-libraries orca ...
    but I'm not sure it will work.

  • Oracle report 10g publsinng on web and Oracle Portal

    I am converting a report that was using oracle OAS9i, we pass to URL(rdf file) userid/password and worked fine. We were not using Portal, even though it is installed by OAS. Now seems we have to use Oracle Portal to publish the same report. Is that right? If not how will I use report servlet to call a rdf file I assume I still need to send oracle user id/password as that is needed to run report(knowing this from old Oracle report 6.0). We really do not want to autheticate any user all users behind use the same Oracle account to print reports. Any hint?
    Another thing I find that now reports are closely linked to Portal and looking at web publishing document it seems one needs to view them thru Portal. Please help me understand this why I can not just see the report as once they are processed they produce pdf that any borwser can show.

    Any one??

    Hi there,
    Have you applied any patches to 9ias since it was first installed? We had the same problem and had to apply a couple of patches to get the portlets working.
    1. Apply the 9.0.2.53.16 one-off patch for Oracle 9iAS Discoverer which takes Discoverer up to 9.0.2.53.16. This patch appears to be password protected and you need to get someone at Oracle support to give you a password.
    2. Apply the Discoverer Portlet Provider: 9.0.2.53.00c patch (patch no. 2595444) which gives you a new discportal.xsl file that actually works. It's this second step that solves your problem but you need to do step 1 before this. This is password protected as well.
    3. As you've upgraded Disco on the server to 9.0.2.53, you'll need to upgrade Disco Admin & Desktop within your 9iDS installation using patch no. 2555265. This is because Disco 9.0.2.53 uses an upgraded EUL that Disco Admin & Desktop need to be patched to use.
    This was the course of action Oracle support advised us about nine months ago. Of course they may have released a further patch to Disco that does 1 & 2 in one go, but we regularly carry out steps 1 and 2 on servers we use and we can use the Disco portlets successfully.
    Hope this helps

  • Difference between Oracle Portal and HTML DB

    Hi folks,
    I am thinking about using another oracle tool to generate web reports.
    I see two possibilities: Oracle Portal and Html db.
    But what are the differences between them? Which one is the best?
    Nowadays we're using Oracle Reports, but as it is very expensive, we're are looking for another tool.
    Thank you all,

    Hi Sergio,
    I read the suggested forum.
    But to me, it was a little bit confusing.
    I don't know these technologies so deeply.
    I just want to know, if both (Oracle Portal and HTML DB) can be used to generate simple reports in Web?
    As I told you, we are using Oracle Reports which demands Enterprise Edition of IAS. This is very expensive to my company.
    So, I need to suggest some other tool to substitute Oracle Reports, so the company will be able to decrease the IAS version to the Standard one.
    In your opinion, which is the best tool in terms of generating reports in the web?
    Do these two tools genereate pdf reports????
    Please, I want to know your opinion about my problem.
    Thank you!!!

  • SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database Questions!

    We have implemented a specific business logic using PL/SQL for our client, so we open a file and process each line of this, doing something in the Database and also call a Web Services (Service1) using UTL_HTTP package. Service1 runs in a Windows 2008 Server in the DMZ as Database server.
    Service1 is already working, and we can call the service from PL/SQL without troubles.
    However, according with security client's policies they requires all Web services be consumed via https including Service1, so we must to follow the procedure established for Oracle in order to enable the calling of service1 via https from the Database.
    Our client's DBA and IT Team are concerned about two subjects before to continue to follow the certificate installation:
         - SSL Certificates:
    1- Can installed certificates in the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
              2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate performance issues?
              3- Can installed certificates reloading the Databases?
              2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate security issues?
         - Web services:
    1- Can web services calling from the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
    2- Can web services calling from the Database generate performance issues?
    3- Can web services calling from the Database generate security issues in the DMZ?
    Could you please give us any clues, about the possible negative impact related with the SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database, if it’s the case this impact exists?.
    Those are the links describing the procedure mentioned above.

    Thiago:
    You are correct in that there should be no problem interacting with a Web service that has an HTTPS endpoint as long as you create a wallet and specify it when you make your UTL_HTTP calls, like the PayPal example.
    I am not aware of a PL/SQL utility to create a XMLDsig Standard message, but if you find some Java source out there that does it, you may be able to follow a technique I used for a similar use case:

    If Oracle Portal is running on Apache/Jserv, which is the only application server it runs on as far as I know, then that's your problem. JDeveloper uses one of the newer Servlet specificatione, 2.1 or 2.2, where as Jserv is using a very old one. 2.0, which doesn't support the session.setAttribute() method.
    I happen to know a little bit about portal and the JPDK. You do have the option of using the ProviderSession object that is provided by the JPDK PortletRenderRequest.getSession() method. I believe they have a setAttribute() method in there. In fact, if you want this object in the user's session, then you HAVE to use the ProviderSession from the JPDK.
    There are some other configurations you have to set to use this, you must specify to use session in your provider.xml, and you must also set the login frequency on the provider registration page to "Once per user session".
    Check out the discussion boards on http://technet.oracle.com for more info.

  • Oracle Portal and access data from OID

    I was trying to do the employee search on Portal. I need to enter firstname or lastname of an employee and click search button and it display employee details
    These are the steps I followed
    I created a database provider "Portal1" using the schema Portal
    Then I created a dynamic page using that provider
    This is the code I have in the dynamic page
    <HTML>

    Dynamic page was created successfully.
    This is my intention. Create a dynamic page and run it as a portlet and publish it in the portal repository. Then use that portlet as any other portlet on the page.
    I assume if I use a bind variable in the sql, I'll be able to pass the parameter (lastname/firstname) from the page and display the employee details on the page.
    This is my problem. When I tried to run the dynamic page as portlet, I am getting the following error. Please advise if I am doing something wrong or is there any other way to access emplyee details
    INTERNAL ERROR
    "Failed to parse the query, ORA -00942 table or view does not exist
    Failed to parse as PORTAL_PUBLIC - SELECT * FROM PORTAL.WWSEC_PERSON$
    The preference path does not exist - ORACLE.WEBVIEW.PARAMETERS
    Thanks
