Oracle 9i AS Portal download questions

I read the installation guide for Oracle 9iAS (the guide for all of AS, not just the Portal component). I have some questions that were not addressed in the documentation.
1) Do you need to download the entire Oracle9i Application Server in order to download and access the Oracle Portal component? I understand there's three levels of downloads (minimal, standard, and enterprise), and that even the minimal edition contains Oracle 9iAS. However, I was hoping to minimize space and memory required when working with Oracle Portal. (I just need to configure databases and manage database security, both of which can be done using Oracle Portal.)
2) I already have Microsoft Peer Web Services installed on my computer. (That's the development environment in which you can test Cold Fusion and ASP code.) Will this conflict with the Oracle 9iAS, since both are servers that may affect, or be affected by, network configurations - even if they're both in a local, standalone test environment?
(I can't just remove PWS since I do need it for testing Cold Fusion and/or ASP development code.)
3) I understand that in order to download Oracle 9iAS, I need to already have access to an Oracle database. What mimimum version of Oracle do I need to be working with? The installation guide states that I can find out more information about database requirements at http://metalink.oracle.com. However, I can't even register for this site in order to access it, because it requires a "Support Identifier (CSI, SAC, Access Code etc.)" However, the CSI for the company where I work has expired - so I can't access that area for info.
It seems that I may need to use Oracle 8i. I just downloaded the Installation Guide for the Oracle 8i Personal Edition. Would that be sufficient to work with a standalone (personal edition/evaluation copy) of Oracle9i AS?
I hope to hear from someone soon about these issues! Thanks.

1)Portal is an integrated component of 9iAS. You need to download all of 9iAS and select the minimal install option.
2)We haven't tested this configuration, but as long as you set up apache appropriately to use different ports than the existing software it should work.
3)Portal requires 8.1.6.2 Enterprise edition or 8.1.7 Standard edition. Personal Edition will not work.

Implement Oracle Aplication Server Portal - Starting work

Hi everyone
I work with java and Oracle database, manager oracle application server, but i need to learn Oracle Aplication Server Portal, i just to know some tips to start.
How can i do that?
Thanks
José Vieira

Hi José,
The link :
http://www.oracle.com/appserver/portal_home.html
has a small text to the right that reads " Download Oracle Application Server 10g ". The first link in the download page is for " Application Server 10g Release 2 " - the installer for this allows you to install the Ifrastrcuture and the MiddleTier.
During the installation of Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2), you would have notice three options :
1. J2EE & WebCache
* Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control
* Oracle HTTP Server Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J)
* Oracle Application Server Web Cache
2. Infrastructure
* Oracle Database Server 10g (10.1.0.4.2)
* Oracle Internet Directory
* Oracle Application Server Single Sign-On
* Oracle Application Server Directory Integration Provisioning
* Oracle Application Server Delegated Administration Services
* Oracle Application Server Certificate Authority
3. MiddleTier.
* Oracle Application Server Portal
* Oracle Application Server Wireless
* Oracle Sensor Edge Server
* Oracle Application Server Forms Services
* Oracle Application Server Reports Services
* Oracle Application Server Personalization
* Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer
You can also install other tools & services like :
* Oracle Security Developer Tools
* Oracle Application Server Guard
* OracleAS Backup and Recovery Tool
Thus, while installing, you need to install the Infrastructure ( which will contains the OID , SSO, etc. ), and the Middletier ( Portal, etc. ) later. The Portal MiddleTier depends on the Infrastructure.
Oracle Portal allows you to collect disparate sources of information and applications and present it on a single page. A Portal is a Web site or service that offers a broad array of resources and services, such as email, forums, search engines, and on-line shopping malls. It's more like a "doorway" to the Internet or a portion of the Internet, targeted towards one particular subject.
You can develop an application & post it on a Application Server - but, publishing it on Portal allows you to collect many such similar applications. Portal is usually used as a sinlg epoint of access for many similar / related kinds of applications.
Good Luck !

Sandeep

Oracle ODSEE 11g rel1 download, patches and additonal tools

Dear all,
Reading this site, I'm advised to build a DSEE system based on the latest release of the software.
Within the Oracle/Sun website, I keep finding many versions of the software and documentation, and I'm feeling a bit "lost".
I've managed to download a "package" version of odsee from the Oracle web site at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/oid-11g-161194.html - filename : ofm_odsee_pkg_sun_sparc_11.1.1.3.0_64_disk1_1of1.zip
I have the following questions:
1) is this the "correct" "latest" version
2) are there any patches that should be applied to this software after installation, but before configuration
3) where would I find the correct documentation for this release
4) where can I find a copy of the "Directory Server Resource Kit" that can be installed (and are there any notes for the installation)
Any help with these questions would be very useful
Regards
Pete Scrutton

Hi Pete,
on the page you mentioned, there are the latest releases available of the ODSEE (as of today); from that page you can choose which 'type' of installation:
- Archive
- Package
and of course that depends on your deployment/distribution needs [personally I prefer the 'archive' because it's more flexible and more suitable for my needs]
There are no patches released so far for that version, although there are already some hot-fixes. If you're experiencing some problems and you have a valid support contract (CSI) with Oracle, you can file a service request for that.
The official documentation for ODSEE 11gR1 could be found:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19656-01/
Last, but not least, DSRK is included with the ODSEE, in the zip version it's available under: <INSTALL_ROOT>/dsrk

Hi again.
Do you know the concept of ECM/Portal?. If not review ECM and Portal concept functionalities.
Portal Applications are think for integrate Services 2.0 like Discussions, Collaboration, Content Management, Mail, Analytics, PeopleConnection, consume Portlets... Do you need this?. If not then ithe response is easy... Pure ADF Application.
You don't need WebCenter Portal to host ADF Applications. You integrate ADF applications in WebCenter Portal if you want to extend Portal OOTB functionallity.
In addition, for WebCenter Portal you require a specific license for WebCenter Suite.
You can build a pure ADF application (Unbounded Task Flow) and run it in WebLogic without WebCenter.
If you share your requirements then we can help you better :).
Regards.finally :) we have an enterprise application which was designed using java. this application has a lot of bugs, my company thinks Oracle forms is obsolete , i want to redesign the entire application using ADF, but i don't know what can be achieved with ADF, with Oracle forms i can design menus and attach independent forms to that menu, what i want to know is can i design an enterprise application using ADF like the way we can do with Oracle forms. i find myself in a wonder land of ADF. hope you can help me on this.
my requirement will be a login screen which will direct the user to the application, the application will have various tabs, which can be accessed with proper privileges

9iAS portal download--- all you need?

I'd like to play around with the Portal Dev Kit, but I've never installed any Oracle products (yes, I work here, but not as a db techy). Does the 9iAS Portal download from TechNet come with all I need, or do I need to install a development database first, then install portal? the installation requirements are a bit vague on this point.
Thanks for your reply...

Peter,
You should download and install a database first.
There is an install guide on OTN in the portal section that will take you through every step of the process.

Https ssl config Oracle AS, webcache, portal...almost works

Hi,
I have searched the forums and I havent found anything that works for me.
I have Oracle infrastructure on one server, and Oracle App server/portal on another server. I can get as far as the http server showing the "welcome to oracle" page in https form. When I try to access a page in the portal (plsql) I get a blank page. It does convert the "https://myserver:xxxx//pls/portal/url/page/IRWEB/HOME
" to "https://myserver:xxxx/portal/page?_pageid=73,86254,73_86264:73_86316:73_8632...." but nothing comes up.
Also, it uses the Infrastructure server for single-sign-on...so I need to make the app server do the single sign-on. I've tried by adding /pls/orasso entry in DADS.conf of http server..
So as far as I can tell...the http server IS operating in https/ssl, but the single-sign-on and the pages in the portal are not.
I have to do everything manually since I am using 10.1.2 (no Oracle Collab Suite installed, so no SSLConfigTool and other assistants)
Here is what I've done to get https://myserver:xxxx/ to come up ok.
server 1: Oracle Infrastructure and Oracle database release 1 10.1.2.0.0
server 2: Oracle Application Server / Portal with webcache release 2 10.1.2
using Oracle Wallet for certificate,
http server -> process management "ssl-enabled",
http server -> advanced -> ssl.config: SSLWallet file:, SSLWalletPassword, virtual host for ssl
webcache -> added settings for ssl (I used the current entries for non-ssl as a guide for the ssl entries)
Interesting issue...with the ports in the ssl.conf file example:
Port 4459
Listen 4459
VirtualHose myserver.blah.edu:4450
Port 4458
When I get the blank page trying to use ssl and 4459, I can manually change the url in my browser to 4458 (or maybe its the other way around) and get this message: "Error: The portlet could not be contacted"
Is this a problem with webcache? Do I have to do any ssl config on the server with the database?
I've even tried disabling the webcache, both with the oracle sql script and through web interface but neither made a difference...same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..I feel as if I'm almost there.
If I did not post enough info for accurate help, please ask what you need to know to provide help! Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes you can go for SSl configuration without re-installing any of the components.

Oracle JeOS image to download

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for the download of the Oracle JeOS image (for testing / studying purposes) - I only found the templates for OracleVM template manager (or how do you call it), but I don't want to install OracleVM just to create the template for JeOS - I'm using VirtualBox.
Can anyone post the VM image somewhere? (I guess it's not too big, so netload.in / megaupload.com should be fine, or even a torrent)
thank you very much

Import oracle forms into portal

Can anyone please give me some pointers in importing forms created by orcale forms into portal?

There is no direct way to import your Oracle Forms into Oracle Portal, as the Forms within our Portletbuilder components are of a smaller, simpler functionality set than that provided within Oracle Forms.
What I would recommend is to invoke your Oracle Forms from Portal by integrating Forms with Oracle Single-Sign-On (SSO). Integration of Oracle Forms with Oracle SSO is described in Chapter 5 of the Oracle9iAS Forms Services Deployment Guide, available here on OTN:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/B10170_01.pdf
Hope this helps.

Harry
