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.

Portal future and WebCenter Suite

Oracle unveils WebCenter Suite as a seperate products at Developer World.
is it a replacement for Oracle Portal ? (it seems that way)
In our opinion our existing invesment should be protected.
it is very very costly alternative to us . (50000$ per CPU)
What is Oracle portal roadmap? migration, upgrade.
The features for Oracle Portal roadmap suct as java support have become a feature of
WebCenter Suite. Portal will have these properties or not ? What is Oracle portal planned functionality in this new situation.
Thanks for your replay.

Hi,
You can learn more about Oracle WebCenter Suite on the OTN product page. Regarding your actual questions:
Oracle unveils WebCenter Suite as a seperate products
at Developer World.
is it a replacement for Oracle Portal ? (it seems
that way)Quote from the Oracle WebCenter FAQ:
4.2 What is the relationship between Oracle WebCenter Suite and Oracle Portal?
Oracle WebCenter Suite addresses user interaction requirements holistically by introducing new capabilities directly into the JavaServer Faces application environment and providing Web 2.0 services that take advantage of those capabilities to allow developers to create next generation, context-centric applications. In essence, with WebCenter, we have injected portal capabilities directly into the application architecture rather than requiring a distinct and separate portal framework. This provides developers focused on 100% standards-development a complete solution to build any type of user interaction they require.
In contrast, Oracle Portal is specifically targeted at the enterprise portal use case, is built on top of a database-centric design-time architecture, and incorporates a dedicated, portal-specific runtime framework. It is designed to provide a simple wizard-based experience to building portals that is targeted at the business developer rather than the Java developer.
From a pricing and packaging point of view, Oracle Portal is part of Oracle Application Server Standard and Enterprise Editions while Oracle WebCenter Suite is a separately priced option on top of Enterprise Edition.

this new situation.Oracle WebCenter is a new product and it provides a number of ways that help you leverage your investment into Oracle Portal:
o Re-use portlets: Just like Oracle Portal, Oracle WebCenter applications can leverage both JSR 168/WSRP and PDK-Java portlets.
o You can access and integrate content from Oracle Portal's content management system into your WebCenter applications.
o You can integrate simple PL/SQL portlets and page portlets using the Federated Portal Adapter into Oracle WebCenter.

Oracle JDeveloper 11g Handbook A Guide to Oracle Fusion Web Dev. (Tutorial)

I am using Oracle JDeveloper 11g Release 2(11.1.2.1.0) with the above mentioned book. In the tutorial on page 639 of chapter 18 the instruction #11 says "... Select the searchEmployees-flow under the Web Content \ Page Flows node in the Application Navigator. Drag it onto the second facet of the af:panelSplitter that you had previously add to that page, and select *Region* from the context menu. ..." When I follow these instructions I get the following error:
Cannot create a region from a task flow containing facelets fragments in a jspx page.
I am quite frankly stuck and cannot proceed with the tutorial unless I can get past this error.
Also, is it just me or is this text woefully out of date with the latest version of JDevelolper?
Thanks

jsf is the new extension that is using facelets as the underlying engine in JSF 2.0.
That's what we recommend going forward.
jspx is what was used in JSF 1.2 in JDeveloper 11.1.1.*
We don't have a wizard that migrates jspx to jsf - so you can either create the new page from scratch or try and do some playing around with the header of the file to match the new format.

Content Publishing Suite(CPS) in Weblogic Portal 10.3

I had included the portlet which I had made using the producer and consumer which is defined in the CPS documentation.
Everything works fine but when I tries to retrieve the portlet following error occurs :

Please help........
Thanks

Hi Vinod,
We are facing issues with CPS with weblogic portal 10.3.
We have installed CPS producer as an EAR in weblogic and consumer as another EAR in weblogic portal. So while accessing the portlet from consumer side we are getting the error 'You are not currently logged in, please login to the Portal'.
I guess this is a problem with the SSO. Is there any way to specify the user name and password in some configuration file. In our case we are using the same user name and password as the UCM in weblogic portal.
While accessing the portlet we are getting the following log message at the console.

Oracle OSB 11G. Unable to find Oracle Service Bus Configuration Page.

Hi All,
Sorry for the apparent silly question but I am studying and learning the product.
I have the OSB 11G installed and running with a proxy service working and routing requests. The Oracle ESB documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e15866/ui_ref.htm#i1327746 at chapter 4.4.2 New Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project Wizard
Use this wizard to create an Oracle Service Bus configuration project. For configuration options, see Section 4.4.3, "Oracle Service Bus Configuration Page."
4.4.3 Oracle Service Bus Configuration Page.
I don't see the configuration page in anywhere in the left pane of the console. Am I missing something? The project creation works fine but I just don't see the configuration Wizard.
Thanks.
Regards
Salvatore Ilardo

The link which you are referring is for user interface objects in the Oracle Service Bus plug-ins and OSB plug-ins are used with OEPE (Oracle Enterprise Pack for Ecplise) for OSB development. OEPE is the only supported IDE for OSB development as of now.
Remember, at a time, one and only one Oracle Service Bus Configuration project can be deployed in a OSB domain which may contain desired number of Oracle Service Bus Projects and that's why there is no provision of creating Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project in sbconsole GUI. In IDE, you may create many Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project and that's why it has a Oracle Service Bus Configuration Project Wizard.

I have installed
1.Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Standard edtion
2.WebLogic Server (10.3.3)
3.Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.3.0)
after install I try run the test.fmx is ok!
But I want used form builder 11g connect my database 11g(installed at same host),
It connect appeared ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name.
I search all about middleware folder in my PC , then find two tnsnames files and two sqlnet.ora
the sqlnet.ora content is
#==============================================================
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
#==============================================================
the tnsnames.ora content is(copy same content from oracle database 11g's tnsnames.ora)

#==============================================================
The I update all of my PC's tnsnames.ora like above string,but it always not work
somebody help me,thanks!!

Ronald,
I was able to connect to a database with Forms 11g by adding an Environment variable TNS_ADMIN and pointing this to the directory where the sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files are located. I was unable to find a Net Configuration Assistant in Forms 11g and placing a copy of .ora files in the /%11G HOME/NETWORK/ADMIN didn't work either. Only after I added the environment variable was I able to connect.
There might be a "More Appropriate" solution, but this is what worked for me. We are just now testing 11g, but are still developing with 10g R2.
Hope this helps,

Question about Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL

Hello,
I've read that:
This course is a combination of Oracle Database 11g: PL/SQL Fundamentals and Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units courses.
In order to preparing for this exam, i should read the student guide, so there are 4 pdf files. One is Oracle Database 11g: PL/SQL Fundamentals, and the other 3 are regarding to Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units (volume I, II and III). My question is, regarding to this last one (Oracle Database 11g: Develop PL/SQL Program Units), which volume should i read? I saw that volume I has 400+ pages, and the IIIrd ~80.
Which document should i read? What's the difference between them?
Thanks!

Passing the exam and becoming certified are not a matter of simply reading a book or taking a training class. While books and classroom materials as well as in-class training are all important steps in preparing for an exam, experience and research are just as important. I cannot tell you that there are 53 questions on the exam and every single question maps directly back to page 13, paragraph 3 in XX book. However, If you have the classroom material, and you have the list of exam topics, you should be able to find most of the information you need. In some cases, if you are not completely familiar with a specific topic, or you don't feel like the information in the book gives you all the information you need, you may need to do a little additional research. This is all part of preparing for an exam. This process is what makes you successful as a certified professional.
Your focus seems to be solely on the course materials that you have and what volumes and chapters you should read. I'm trying to give you a different perspective - preparing for an exam is not necessarily about taking one course or reading one book and being ready. You need to review the exam topics and be sure that you are familiar with each topic.

Oracle report 10g vs Oracle Forms 11g

Hi,
My application run on Oracle 10g with Oracle Forms&Report 10g
I have to modify a report file which was saved by oracle report 11g.
When I open the file with Oracle Report 10, I have the following warning : "Avertissement ! Ouverture d'un rapport enregistré avec une version plus récente. Risque de perte de fonctionnalité. Continuer ?" (translation : "The file opened was saved with a more recent version of Oracle Report. You may lose some information. Continue ?").
What kind of information I may lose ?
Can I modify my file on Oracle Report 11g and compile it in Oracle Report 10g ?
Or
Can I modify my file on Oracle Report 11g and compile it in Oracle Report 11g and run it on Oracle Report 10g ?
Thanks a lot.

Michel,
Question 1 - the file will no longer be useable with Reports 10g - you will loose everything.
Question 2 - No, newer versions of Oracle Forms and Reports are not backward compatible with older versions.
Question 3 - No, see answer to question 2.

Fail to install Oracle Database 11g (11.1.0.7.0)

Hello,
I have downloaded the installer to Windows Server 2008 x64 (win64_11gR1_database_111070.zip ) from:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/111070-win64-2008soft-084715.html
When I have tried to install I have a fail, it says me that the OS is not certified and it recognizes as Windows Vista.
My OS is Windows Server 2008 R2.
From MTR Oracle Database 11g (11.1) (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32305/toc.htm#BGBEEBAD) I have seen:

Windows Multilingual User Interface Pack is supported on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows XP Professional, and Windows Vista."
So, Windows Server 2008 R2 isn't supported with Oracle Database 11.1.0.7.0¿?
Thank you and regards.

VSS for Oracle Database 11g Express Edition?

I use Veeam to backup our servers.
I have a Windows 2003 R2 Std edition. On it we have Oracle Database 11g Express Edition (upgraded from 10g).
I would like to enable application-aware image processing (VSS)
I do not have the Oracle VSS Writer Service installed, and the oravssw.exe is not in the oracle folder.
1. Does Oracle Database 11g Express Edition support/include Oracle VSS Writer?
2. If I get the oravssw.exe from another (not express) oracle database, can I copy it and use it on my 11g Express Edition to create the Oracle VSS Writer?
Thanks in advance

Its interesting 10g XE was for 64 bit and 11g XE is for 32 bit.The other way around. 10.2 is 32-bit and 11.2 is 64-bit. Seems like a logical or natural progression (haven't seen a 32-bit machine for some years now).

Server Hardware for Oracle Database 11g Release 2 with Oracle Spatial

Hi ,
We're to set up an Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise with Oracle Spatial.
Can you provide me the possible Server Hardware CPU / Memory specs , number of CPUs,type of OS and teh Model, for Spatial which a million users hits the database via a webservice?
The vendor suggested us SDD instead of HDD, any performance hike on this?
Budget seems to okay but I think Exadata will be too dear.
Your insights is much appreciated.Anything relating to setting up a server with spatial is greatly appreciated.
P/S: Been a programmer and don't knwo much about server hardware specs.

It depends.
Seriously - before anyone can offer anything but generalities here you need to really define exactly what you expect the database to deliver.
In general however, I will throw out these questions and ideas...
For instance - you say a million users "hit" the database (via a web service). Is that WFS, WMS, KML or ???
Over - how long? A year? A month? A minute? A million hits over a year spread out evenly is only about 2 per minute.
And what is a hit? A single random record? Or about 10,000 records in the same spatial area... or? And for each record - are you returning simple point data - or hugely complex polygons with thousands of vertexes each?
How does this software work? Is it custom - or is it well known? Does it really query the database for every map (I assume it is a map service) feature - or does it read an area once and cache it in the middle tier? Or does it do something really smart and use cached tiles for static data - overlayed with vectors for dynamic data?
And although you say Oracle Spatial - are you really using Spatial - or just Locator functions (less processing in general)? And if spatial - are you doing raster in the db - or 3D analysis - or other special functionality?
SSD vs. HDD. - If you can buy a server with more RAM than the data set size (pretty easy these days) - and you do mostly reads (almost always the case for a map app) - buy a small cheap array of RAID'd HDD's - internal to the server is fine. Once the data is read into RAM - the HDD's do basically nothing.
Server CPU and memory. Amount - see above. CPU Speed (use performance benchmarks - not GHz numbers) AND memory speed (often overlooked) - buy as fast as possible. Why? You pay for licenses by the core (2 cores per license for x64). And HW is MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than Oracle licenses. Plan to upgrade HW every year if necessary to avoid buying more licenses (sounds crazy - but it is much cheaper).
This may seem like a lot - but these questions are just the tip of the iceberg. I have been in charge of spec'ing, building, and programming spatial systems now for about 20 years, so I have a pretty good idea of how to do enterprise scale computing on a Ramon-noodle budget.
Smart clean software is your friend - don't ask the HW to do anything unless absolutely necessary (cache results and reuse as much as possible), and you can get crazy performance from minimal hardware.
