Oracle Portal Migration - Help

Hi,
I am trying to migrate the oracle portal that is configured to use OID from development to testing environment and I don't know where to start.
Can anybody guide me where to start? There has been some development done and I want to replicate DEV to Test Env. I don't know what files need to be version controlled.
Any response will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I think, 9.0.4 did not have Cloning as the scripted cloning procedure you see in later versions. Cloning feature was introduced in Release 2 of 10g OAS. Please see the following link for description of new features in this release.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13995/whatsnew.htm#sthref7
However, you can create multiple instances using export/import, or database procedures, and that is supported for portal 9.0.4 too. You can propagate your portal objects across other databases to create identical instances. that may also be used to create multiple clusters and then clone configurations using DCM.
Check this link for one such deployment.

The recommended way is to export the User Manager configuration template out (using the AdminUI), import it into your new enviroment (again using the AdminUI - you have to type the password of the LDAP user in since it is not exported) and then initiating an LDAP Synch.

Portal migration

Hi All,
I am involved in a Oracle Portal migration project. The current version of Portal is 3.0.9 which is no longer support by Oracle. The client has requested to upgrade into OAS 10.1.4. The curent database for Portal repository is 8.1.7.
I have got an idea from OTN that this can not be upgrated into 10.1.4. But I like to hear from you all who has been involved in Oracle Portal migration before. Thanks for your time.

Hello Everyone,
Let me provide you a brief desription of what I am doing now: Implemeting Oracle SSO/Portal but this needs to be integrated with PeopleSoft too for authentications.
I have reviewed some whitepapers and it explains that Oracle SSO Server for PeopleSoft version less than 8.4.7 that is runing on 3 party web server like wev logic, Oracle SSO Server can create PS_TOKEN too and we can single sign on between PeopleSoft and Oracle Portal but how?!! I couldn't find any documents yet?
Any help? To be honest, I have implemented SSO before but this case scenario is quite different. Will appreciate your help.

The following is the text copied from Oralce online help:
Opening sample applications
Oracle Portal provides a set of sample applications and components. Instructions for building some of these applications are provided in the Oracle Portal 3.0 Casebook. Other examples are included to showcase Oracle Portal's robust application building features.

Hi
The case book (full title: Building Advanced Portals Instructions) and its zip files for the exercises are located at

Help in Installing Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer(11.1.1.2.0)

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Linux x86-64.
I have installed weblogic 10.3.5 generic jar file.
When i try to install forms and reports server the configuration step fails while creating weblogic domain.
Please help me installing portal and reports.
Is there any patch i am missing or the weblogic version is incorrect?
Thanks.

You cannot configure Fmw 11.1.1.2 against WLS 10.3.5. They are not supported nor compatible.
If you want to use WLS 10.3.5, you need to "install" 11.1.1.2, but do not configure. That is an installation option. After you have successfully installed 11.1.1.2 you will need to patch it to 11.1.1.6. After patching, you then can run the configuration (config.bat).
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/install.1111/e10421/install.htm#CLINS256
Version 11 is far more complex than previous versions. I strongly encourage everyone to review the product documentation before trying to install. You can also refer to the following MyOracleSupport note:
Steps to Maintain Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) (Doc ID 1073776.1)

Migration of oracle portal contents/applications to Weblogic portal

I have a website running on oracle portal. I want to migrate all those contents (applications/portlets) to weblogic portal. I dont know where to start from. Can somebody please guide me and give me some tutorials for this.
Thanks
Joseph

Hi Ajay,
If the configtool is showing the old information of instances , it has got two things
1. JMT phase of your migration has not been performed correctly.
2. If you are using the same hostname , SID , instance name , then it will calculate the same instance number.
In JMT phase it should delete all the information of dialog instance and calculated the new instance id
on the basis of box number calculated from the file cluster_id_switch.properties while migrating the CI.
checked the JMT folder inside sapinst_dir.
Checked the below parameter in cluster_id_switch.properties
src.ci.sid=
src.ci.instance.number=
src.ci.instance.name=
src.ci.host=
Checked the logs for java migration tool phase and java configuration parameter phase.Also do check the box number of the system.If the box number is not correct as per your input then you will not able to patch your system further.
Now in second case, If you are keeping the same hostname , instance name and SID , then it will calculate the same instance id so you don't need to worry in this case.

Urgent!! Oracle Portal Schema Corrupt - Help!!

Hi
We have a new installation of Oracle Portal Release 2 (version 9.0.2).
The portal schema somehow got corrupt. We tried two different recompile scripts, and still, after running it several times, we end up with 86 invalid objects, all of them either a package or type body.
Does anyone know of a script that will allow us to recompile this from source code?
Regards
Harry

Hi,
try running this as portal schema ,it creates a file called c1.sql ,just run c1.sql to compile all invalid objects:
set head off
set echo off
spool c1.sql
Select 'Alter '||
decode(OBJECT_TYPE,'PACKAGE BODY','PACKAGE','TYPE BODY','TYPE',OBJECT_TYPE)||
' "'||OBJECT_NAME||'" COMPILE '||
decode(OBJECT_TYPE,'PACKAGE BODY','BODY;','TYPE BODY','BODY;',';')
From user_OBJECTS
Where STATUS = 'INVALID'
spool off
set echo on
set head on
Hope this helps,
Anu

URGENT HELP- Can't install Oracle Portal on Windows 2000

I am trying to install Oracle Portal as part of installation of Oracle 9iAS v1.0.2.2.2a on Windows 2000 and I get this message from the OPCA Installation Log:

Thanks for the reply Rohini.
The SYS password is change_on_install and SYSTEM password is manager. It still causes the same problem. The database I am using is an Oracle 8i database which is automatically created while installing Oracle 9iAS.
I also tried to install Oracle Portal on an Oracle 9i Database on the same machine and this comes out with a different error. It tells me the SHARED_POOL_SIZE is less than 31457280 whereas as I checked through SQL*Plus its actually much more than that!
Can you please help?

Migration from Sun Java System Portal Server to the Oracle Portal

Hi, I'm in charge of evaluate the viability of a project that comprises the migration from Sun Java System Portal Server to the Oracle Portal. so I'm wondering if there is a kind of out of box migration tool in Oracle Portal or exists some guidelines to do the migration. In the other hand there is the option of migrate from Sun Java System Portal Server to Oracle WebCenter?
Thanks in advance!

The migration path for Sun Portal Server is Oracle WebCenter Suite. WebCenter is a significantly different architecture so there are no tools planned for the migration. However, we do plan to document and publish a whitepaper once we've assisted a few of the initial customer migrations.

Migration help - Sybase to Oracle

Hi,
we are currently migration our applicaiton from Sybase to Oracle. Oracle version we are using is 8.1.7 for Windows.ok now here is problem,
In order to update a table we compare more than 1 table, which we can specify in the "from clause of the update" in sybase, but oracle it does not allow this
for Eg: ( In sybase )
update table1 set
activeFlag = 0,
revId = revId + 1
from table2, table3
where table1.col1 = table2.col1
and table1.col2 = table2.col2
and table1.col3 = table3.col1
I am running out of ideas to convert this statement to suitable Oracle syntax.Any help in the conversion will be greatly appreciated
thanks
vijay

I'm not sure I understand what your statement would do in Sybase but perhaps this is what you are looking for?
update table1 set
activeFlag = 0,
revId = revId + 1
where exists (select null
from table2, table3
where table1.col1 = table2.col1
and table1.col2 = table2.col2
and table1.col3 = table3.col1)

HELP WITH SUBFOLDERS ACCESS IN ORACLE PORTAL....

Hi, all im a user of Oracle Portal and when I create a Folder called ROOT with access to group 1 and 2, y create subfolders C, and D, C and D has the same privileges than A and B, but if i add F, G,H,I,J,K,L,ETC, and before that I add a new group to ROOT CALLED 3, THE SUBFOLDERS DOESN'T inherit the same access than the root, they has only the access that was granted when I create that folder.
There is some way to recreate the access to all the subfolders once they was created without doing it folder per folder?.
Thank you very much!.
Gustavo

We implemented SSL for Windows NT and created our own install instructions that we gathered from various sources (a combination of the Oracle Portal Configuration Guide, tech notes from Metalink, and discussion forums from OTN). It was not a simple task for us.
Hope they help. I will send them to your email address since I xcan't figure out how to attach them here.

Need Help:Oracle Portal get LOB value

i'm new to use LOB data types, i don't know how to insert or select it. I'm using Oracle10G and Oracle Portal 9.0.4.
is anyone there can help me ?

Hi,
One other question.
The tns entry you posted looks like this -
*MOF_Test =
* (DESCRIPTION=*
* (ADDRESS=*
* (PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.62.108.84)(PORT=1521))*
* (CONNECT_DATA=*
* (SID=dg4odbc)*
* (HS=OK)*
Do the asterisks represent spaces or line ends ?
The format of the entry should be that the first line starts at the beginning of the line and there should be at least one space at the beginning of the other lines, so it should look like -
MOF_Test =
<space> (DESCRIPTION=
<space> (ADDRESS=
<space> (PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.62.108.84)(PORT=1521))
<space> (CONNECT_DATA=
<space> (SID=dg4odbc)
<space> )
<space> (HS=OK)
<space>)

Mike
