Oracle Portal mirror site

Is it possible to run Oracle portal on server "A" and every night make a copy to mirror site "B" witch runs on simple non-dynamic content server (for example apache without connection to databases).
In this case "A" is used to make some content upload and management, but "B" is public server.
If it is possible witch rules i must keep in mind?
Thanks.

The closest thing we have to this in the current release (3.0.9) is a Nav Bar element called a content area map. When selected, it will show the user all the content areas that the user has privs to see in the portal and can drill down within a particular content area to access folders/sub folders.
In V2 (as part of the content area/page merge) we have defined a new site map-type widget that can be added to any item region on a page. When selected, it allows you to view one or all page groups in the portal (restricted by user privs) and to drill down within a particular page group to access pages/sub pages.

Oracle Portal as site builder

Hi,
We found Oracle Portal very strange!
We used to work with OpenCms Portal, for building our site. This is a Content Management Tool; which enables users to build a site easily. Please look at www.opencms.org.
If user wants to create a page
1- He clicks on new page button.
2- System displays some templates. The user selects one.
3- System shows a WYIWYS screen, User can add his test to page (make it bold, italic, draw table...) or drag & drop some images from image gallery.
4- After editing a page, the user saves the page and close.
5- Site administrator will publishes the page on the net.
After publishing the page the end-user access the site from internet. The page is automatically added to site menu and is displayed in the site structure.
Can we do above if we switch to Oracle Portal?
In other word, can I get Oracle Portal to build a site which looks some like: http://www.alkacon.com or http://www.bp.co.za
Is there some WYIWYS tool in the portal

Have a look on Oracle Instant Portal
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/instant.html
http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/tech/ias/portal/files/introducing_oip_viewlet_swf.html
I think that will help yopu further.
Oracle Instant Portal is immediately available with both Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.1) Standard Edition One, and Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) Standard and Enterprise Editions.

Oracle Portal Sites

Are there web sites developped with Oracle Portal includding Forms, Reports ... ?
Does somebody knows sites that use these technologies?
Thanks

Ben,
A search for live portals turned up this link.
Some of these sites use the forms and reports components of Oracle9iAS Portal.
If you are talking about Oracle Forms (Oracle9iDS Forms Builder) or Oracle Reports (Oracle9iDS Reports Builder), then I would suggest looking in those forums.

Can anybody tell me which are the official site built on oracle portal

i want to view some websites built on oracle portal. pl provide me some good urls to view and check sites

Quickest way to see a variety of sites that have been created using Oracle Portal would be to Google for some of the common parts of portal page URLs. For example: allinurl: "/pls/portal/" or allinurl: "/portal/page/" or allinurl: "/portal/page/portal"

Problem running Oracle Portal to Go (Oracle9i 1.0.2.0.0)

I have installed Oracle9i Application Server WE 1.0.2.0.0 Standard Edition on Windows2000 Professional Edition. I am getting problems regarding running Portal to Go.
The installer said that installation was successful. Moreover I have done the configuration tasks mentioned Oracle9i installation guide under post installation steps for Oracle9i.
But Oracle Portal to Go is not running and returning error message. Are there some other tasks still to perform to configure the Oracle Portal to Go Standard Edition?
Here it is a brief Description of what I have done with the installations process
System: Pentium II 500 MHZ with 256 MB RAM and 15 GB Hard Disk so enough space available for installations.
Windows 2000 professional was freshly installed
All pre installation tasks are done like paging file size is 896MB
Important Installation steps and points are as under (Standard Edition of Oracle 9i Application Server 1.0.2.0.0):
I followed all the steps given in Oracle 9i AS installation guide
On Windows 2000 Installer never asks for reboot before actually installing the Oracle 9i application server (Chapter 4 of installation guide: preparing system for installation: step5: page 5 of 25). So I manually reboot the system
During installation when I reached Database Access Descriptor (DAD) for Oracle Portal. In TNS connect string field for Apache listener Configuration I entered the same name (abc) (chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step2, 3: page 10,11 of 25) as I was going to use for my Global database name later at database Identification steps (chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step 4: page 12 of 25)
Note: In an other installation I left the same fields (TNS connect string) blank but of no use.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
When installation of Oracle9i AS reaches 100% installer opens a command prompt and displays
ORA: 12541 TNS: No Listener
Enter user name:
When I enter SYSTEM as a user name it displays
Password:
I entered manager as password and then it displays
ORA 12560: TNSProtocol adaptor error
And once again it asks for user name and password
I once again enter system as a user and manager as password.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
After 100% completion of the installation the configuration tools screen appears
(Chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step 10: page 17 of 25) and the following tasks are performed
Net8 configuration Assistant succeeds
Oracle database configuration assistant succeeds
When The Oracle portal 3.0 configuration Assistant Starts
I hold the installation steps for oracle portal for a while and do some database configuration tasks that are necessary (may be some are not) for installation of portal.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
For example
Increase the table space size of Users (400 MB), and Temp (100MB) table spaces.
Validated invalid PL/SQL Modules with ULTRP.SQL script
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Installed dbms_job.sql package as it was mentioned in another guide (Oracle portal-to-Go installation Guide- Release1.0.2: Page 1: last line)
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Stopped the database and listener
And did some changes as was asked in Oracle portal-to-Go installation Guide- Release1.0.2
Edited the init<SID>.ora file and set the following fields
aq_tm_processes = 1
job_queue_processes = 4 (2 were recommended in guide but I left the already set values)
job_queue_interval = 30
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Also I did the following too (though these are recommended for Internet file system)
opern_cursors = 300 (in installation guide it is asked 255 but I kept the already set value)
shared_pool_size = 52438800 (50M was suggested and this is more than that)
processes = 200
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
I started the database and listener
Proceeded the installation of Oracle Portal as is described in installation guide for Oracle 9i Application guide 1.0.2.0.0
And successfully completed the installation of Oracle Portal
There were no errors reported on the installer however when I read the installation log some errors were mentioned at the end of the file
Please see the attached log file.
I also completed all the post installation tasks at the end of chapter 4 of Oracle9i Application Server installation guide 1.0.2.0.0 except the configuration of Oracle Internet file system (is it necessary for running Oracle Portal to Go)
When I run the oracle portal to go the following situation is encountered
Working: http://localhost/pls/portal30/admin_/dadentries.htm
Error at: http://localhost/pls/portal30/portal30.home
Error: The preference path does not exist: Oracle.Portal.Page (WWC-51000)
(And this is the main source of confusion)
Working: http://localhost/pls/portal30/admin_/gateway.htm?schema=portal30
Working: http://et-wks-08:5555/invoke/wm.server.admin/adminPage
Are there any other guides and post installation steps still to follow to successfully run this Portal to Go or it is sufficient?
I can also send the installation logs of both Oracle 9i application server (installActions.log and installActions2001-05-28_03-50-56-PM.log) and Oracle portal to Go (install.log).
If you ask, I can send you the installation guides that I have followed and the screen shoots of the error messages for a detail review.
Moreover can anyone please tell me if this version of Oracle 9i Application server is ok or I must try some other version?
Also advise any other if any successful configuration and installation options.
Is it possible to run this portal to go with any other installation options/arrangements/configurations etc?
Any help from anyone will be highly appreciated.

Dissatisfied with usability of the Portal Studio site

Hello,
We are ramping up production and I have been tasked with developing a proof of concept for Portal. Of course, I've spent countless hours setting up 9iAS, and even trying to understand this whole 'Portal' portal product (like many others). I have devloped in J2EE, VB, VC++, and plenty of other scripting (ASP, Perl) languages.
My experience on that site has been painful at best and it doesn't really seem to be very useful for the most important documentation from a developers standpoint.
It's almost as if it's information overload and just outright confusing. (Which is a concern our company has of implementing portal to our mere mortal users :-] )
All I want to do is find good reference material for setting up Portal, using Java to develop portlets on our development 9iAS instance (NOT using Oracle's hosted 'portal studio'!!), and configuring and setting up the URL based portlets.
This has turned out to be no easy task.
FOr instance, I want to figure out how to create a URL based portlet, AND UNDERSTAND WHAT I"M DOING! This seems to be the part that is skipped. If it's sooooo easy than why is it so difficult to find good reference to what i'm doing?
So I dig around the main portal page. I see a getting started link.. *click*.
Well, I don't see anything specific to URL Providers... maybe the "How can I create portlets using my existing web applications?" is what I want. *click*
Oh, look.. it's like 3rd grade.. a slide show!>.. Cool. :-| okay.. ERRRGHHHT!... hit the brakes!.
"The PDK provides a samle XML configuration file.." ??? where is my link to more information about this magic "configuration file"???.... ahh. So I stop the silly slideshow and I want to know about this "configuration file".. *close window*
Now I'm back at the portal studio heap.
hmm.. "Documentation" for POrtal *click*
Hmm.. after searching through this mind boggling page, there is a "Portal configuration guide" link.. sounds reasonable. *click*
so I look for "URL Provider".. or just "URL" on that page. Nothin found. bah!.. well, now I'm stumped. There is this mystery 'config' file that i've failed to quickly find information about. Strike 1.
So I use the other part of my brain (the developer side)...
There is this "HTTP Adapter" thing. Looks like part of the acclaimed "URL provider" mess. SO i read on...
blah blah blah... nothin of significant use stands out.
ah... somethin... "4.3 Registering A Provider Using The PL/SQL HTTP Adapter".. again. useless. *click * click * back *
So now I retreat back to the silly portal studio page.
Back to the task at hand... finding out the innerds of the configuration files involved in writing a "URL provider".
Looking at the available documents.. OHH LOOK! the actual documentation library is buried at the bottom of the page!.. hmm. I just read the "config guide".. "web toolkit"...?? I wonder.. *click* (grinding as Acrobat loads again)
AHhhh.. it's a "PL/SQL" web toolkit. Not imporessed. How many web developers actually know PL/SQL .. or would WANT to program logic in that query language??? or even any Java or C developers?...grr..
*click* back *
Where is it..??>. this is about the point where I start to forget what I'm looking for.
Well, I've come to the conclusion that the "Oracle9iAS Portal Documentation Library" is a small library, as it doesn't appear to have any good reference for the details of portal use and configuration.. or at least involving the URL services.
*back*back*.. Oh, look what I found.
Near the bottom of the page ("getting started"), there is a link under ""Navigation"" that reads "URL-based: Learn how the PDK helps you build portlets in any web language."
hmm. looks promising. Maybe a little more respectable than that 3rd grade slide show.
*click*
"BUilding URL based portlets".. Ahh presto!
Nice. opened a new browser window. (dumb)
Okay.. I need the PDK.
*click**download**wait*
I extract it to a warm home.
hmm.."Installing URL based Portlets".. sounds intriguing
well, it's now lunch time and I thing I found some good meat.
If you've rached this point you can probably now understand (after reading this long post) tha pain I experience.
GOtta eat some lunch.
-sean@Tekelec

Sean,
I am sorry to hear that you had such problems navigating through Portal Studio to find content on URL Services. Right now Portal Studio is geared by technology, so you click on URL-Based for URL Services, Java for building Java Portlets. Hopefully all the doc will be there to help you. If not, I would be happy to point you in the right direction.
If you are looking to display web content as portlets, you should take a look at Web Clipping, it is a wizard form of URL Services where you simply use the wizard UI.
Go to Portal Studio and click on OmniPortlet and WebClipping or go here:
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/servlet/page?_pageid=350&_dad=ops&_schema=OPSTUDIO&12678_PDKHOME902_39847486.p_subid=350276&12678_PDKHOME902_39847486.p_sub_siteid=73&12678_PDKHOME902_39847486.p_edit=0
This page has demos and papers on using Web Clipping. To install Web Clipping, download the PDK and follow the instructures under the pdk/pdk/portalTools directory.
We are revamping the Portal Studio site to hopefully make navigation much easier for all users (developer and non developer).
Please let me know if you help finding other information. The feedback does help us improve the site.
Thanks,
Sue Vickers

Oracle portal 11g- how to show content of a mounted folder in a page

Hi there!
We have installed oracle portal 11g on a server with cent os 5 on it. There is a certain shared folder in our network that we have mounted using autofs in a certain directory, on which every user has permissions of read and write, the contents of which we want to be able to access through a page in our portal. I have set up an alias in http server (Server configuration) to indicate the folder in discussion. However, when I press the link in that page, an error occurs (Forbidden-You are not authorized to see this page). What am I missing???? Is there a special configuration for shared folders in a domain?
Thanks in advance!

Success with Oracle Portal?

We are in the process of starting a Oracle Portal project. Has anyone out there deployed anything and can you share your experiences?
Is anyone aware of any development resources available in Minneapolis/St. Paul?
Thanks!

David,
There are a few development resources that you can experiment with yourself, if you want to try playing around with the Portal right away.
- The PDK provides a number of examples for developing your own portlets. It is located at: http://technet.oracle.com/products/iportal/files/pdkjan/index.html
- If you do not already have a Portal installed, you can test out portlets you develop on Portal Studio, a hosted Portal site that is available to developers. It is located at: http://portalstudio.oracle.com

Oracle Portal 3.0 vs Webdb 2.2

OS: WinNT4 DB:Oracle 8.1.6 256MB RAM, 400MHZ procesor.
I have used WebDB 2.2. for sometime now. The system requirements are not high. Moreover it is stable and very reliable plus the ease and availability of wizards and tools.
However the story is different with Portal 3.0. The Apache Server crashes very often; infact I am considering avoiding Portal 3.0 for my presentations to clients. The system requirements are too high, System and Users tablespaces have to be very large. I miss the Site statistics that is available in version 2.2. And you have to search very well before you can locate the right tool to get your work done. It is no longer intuitive, simple, straight-forward and cost-effective.
I shall appreciate if Oracle will take this problems into consideration in the next releases

Evans,
Thanks for your feedback. Which version of Oracle Portal 3.0 are you on? The production version (3.0.6.3.3 and above) of 9iAS Portal 3.0 offers site statistics - just navigate over to the monitor tab as the portal schema owner. We continue always to listen to feedback from our user community.
Best Regards,
Harry Wong

HTML vs. Oracle Portal

One Question about HTML DB:
It looks very like the old WEB-DB or Oracle Portal. Is it so much new or is it a Portal-Light without the need of 9iAS? How will Oracle seperate it from Portal?

I have been working with portal since before it was called portal, in fact before it was called webDB, when Tom Kyte and company first did internal release of a thing called WebView in 1996.
Portal's market is also for building application, but on an enterprise level scale and incorporating numerous standards - too many to list - in addition to content management and distribution for portals/web sites.
HTML in my testing should be used for lower-end departmental computing to replace spreadsheets, and make for a nice IDE where you can build application very rapidly - a prototyping engine if you will. Except this engine can evolve into a production application.
All this without have to undergo a 1-2 week project just to get your J2EE/OID/iAS/Portal environment setup and ready for use. HTML is much faster to deploy with and requires less infrastructure to build departmental size web applications to replace spreadsheet computing. This is certainly one method of making strides to enter into Grid Computing.

Oracle Web Center Suite and Oracle Portal

1)What is Oracle Portal and why it is used?
2)What is Oracle Web Center Suite and why it is used?
3)What is the difference between Oracle Portal and Oracle Web Center Suite?

1) Oracle Portal is the Portal product that was deployed together with the application server before weblogic server. It is still used a lot for corporate intra and extranets. It is mosly used for intranets and extranets. When you bought the licence for the application server you automaticly had the licence for Oracle Portal. That's why it is so popular.
Oracle portal is not realy standard based. You mostly will create portlets with PL/SQL or PDK and not realy use the JSR168 standard.
No with Oracle Portal 11g you can consume JSR168 portlets using WSRP.
2) Oracle WebCenter suite is the next strategical choose of oracle in portal software. Webcenter is an enterprise 2.0 portal environment while oracle portal is more web 1.5 and has limited web 2.0 stuff. Oracle Portal comes with a complete UI for the user to use to create websites and groups but webcenter is more a framework to incoorporate enterprise 2.0 features into your own fusion web application. Webcenter suite comes with Webcenter spaces. THis is a complete UI to create collaborative websites.
Webcenter framework is a powerfull framework to create complete enterprise 2.0 sites.
3) The difference... Oracle Portal is an old product and will not be developt anymore. I've heard portal 11g will be the last version meaning support will stop at 2014. Webcenter is a new product to create state of the art enterprise 2.0 websites.
Oracle portals is not build on standard and is not realy standardbased meaning is you develop portlets for portal you will not be able to use them in other portals.
Webcenter on the other hand is completly standard based. It is JSR168 compliant and in the near future it will also support JSR286.
Oracle portal is PL/SQL based while webcenter is completly java based, based upon the ADF framework from oracle.
Because WebCenter is based upon the ADF framework you can use the complete ADF framework for your application. For example consuming webservices are very easy in webcenter. If you are using a service oriented architecture you will have lots and lots of work to integrate it with portal. With webcenter this is peace of cake.
Hope this helps you :)
If you have other questions, just let us know.

Oracle Portal Virtual Host Enhacement for Multiple Virtual Hosts

I open the TAR Number: 4326752.996
The TAR is related to " REQUEST ASSISTANCE FOR MULTIPLE VIRTUAL HOSTS AND MULTIPLE PAGE GROUPS CONFIG. "
This is the Scenario: We Have Oracle Portal installed in a single Box. yes I know I know... but Not everybody is Yahoo or Google for Clusters and all the good stuff, we just want our website managed by Oracle Portal since all our ERP is running Oracle Database. Anyway. 1 Box running Oracle Portal Infrastructure and MidTier.
It turns out that our previous configuration we have the LAMP Solution with PHP, Apache with Virtual Servers configuration very trivial for a regular web server however we have about 6 Virtual domains.
For example:
www.abc.com
www.def.com
www.ghi.com
www.jkl.com
www.mno.com
www.pqr.com
We also like to post all our Intranet Information in this great Portal:
http://intranet.com
Where intranet.com is the same server but setup in our Internal DNS without be a Real Internet Register Domain.
So bottom line we start doing great with Install our single box install, later [GRRRRRR does not come by default in port 80 GRRRRRR, ok need to move and setup the virtual host to resolve our main External website www.abc.com ]
For starters ok it worked we have our main website running Oracle Portal.
Now is time to go to the step number 2.
Setup another Page Group in Portal to be the Page_Group_INTERNAL.
I figure if Apache can setup Virtual Hosts pointing to Independent parts of the File System without be shared. I was expecting some kind of custom configuration where I can setup httpd.conf to point to some specific PageGroups to make sure
www.abc.com => Page_Group_External
never share information with:
intranet.com => Page_Gorup_Internal
My TAR was very quick closed with the Argument that is not what It supposed to do.
Since a virtual host is a common thing to do on Linux and Apache, I wonder if You guys could list this as one of the default features to have multiple virtual domains assosiated with Page Groups that they never talk or share Resources I think that would be really great.
In the mean time I guess we have no option but to put a password for every internal page or take the risk of share our Information to the Internet. Perhaps designate another box with Oracle Portal but In that case Is not really cost/bennefit to use a killer technology for our external site since we just have no more than 30 pages.
Anyway just figure drop you guys a note any advise will be really appreciated.
Best Regards Dino.

Hi Martin,
1. To change the target URL of KM resources you can to the following:
Access the URL Generation Service Configuration by navigating to:
System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Configuration
Content Management -> Global Services -> URL Generator Service
Change the Host property to "portal.company.com".
2. You change the Port by opening the Visual Administrator and going to : Dispatcher -> Services -> HTTP Provider
Change there the "Ports" entry from (Port:50000,Type:http)to (Port:80,Type:http). Then go on "Save".
3. To remove the "/irj" from the portal URL you can create a index.jsp with the following content, and save it in the J2EE Documentation folder:
<Drive>:\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\JC<J2EE_instance_number>\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.engine.docs.examples\servlet_jsp\_default\root
<%
//Send the redirect using server redirection (not client script)
//This will also send the HTTP GET parameters
String queryString = request.getQueryString() ;
if (queryString==null ) {
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default") ;
} else {//redirect with HTTP GET parameters
response.sendRedirect
("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default?" + queryString) ;
%>
Hope this helps,
Robert

Oracle portal vs php

could you give me about comparation web development using oracle portal and php.
how about speed, security, flexibility ?
where i can find, site with oracle portal ?

I think that this kind of comparison is pretty much useless. It's a completely different environment. PHP is only a scripting language. Altough PHP is powerful, the Oracle 9iAS Portal is a completely different product. It features an RDBMS, Java language, an HTTP Server and various extensions.

Oracle Portal

Is Oracle Portal for Intranet Development only? Can you create a portlet and post it on your company web site for the access by external users?
We want to post a form on our company web site for the access by the public to get some data in. Can this be done by using Oracle Portal.

I have installed Oracle Portal from 9i Application Server CD. I chose HTTP only option for this installation and allowed the installation to do the configuration of the Portal.
After that I created a form and report portlet as a part of application. Then I created a page and was able to publish portlets on this page. I checked this page for public access which indicates that users can view this page without loging in the portal.
Now I am stuck, since I am not sure what URL user need to provide to access this page without loging in the portal? From Portal home page user have to login to access this portal, but that is not what we want. We would like to publish this page, so any external user will be able to view the page, enter and submit data back to us.
Can you provide details on how to publish Portal page for external users so they can view and enter data over the web?
