Oracle Portal w/ Multiple Schemas

I posted this in the Architecture forums, but it looks like this forum may be better or yield more results for what I'm looking for.
We are just about to launch a Portal initiatve and are looking for best practices for implementing a single instance of Oracle Portal that interacts with multiple schemas. Has anyone here done this or know where I can find this type of info? I have a few questions about how this works, how scalable it is, how security is handled, yada yada yada. --Kind Regards, Derek.

Hi jlubbers. Thanks for your reply.
After some additional disucssions with our DBAs, I think I may have left a misleading post in respect to schemas. Our company acts as an application service provider to some degree. The way the databases are setup, each of our client agencies have their data stored completely separately from other agencies. The table structures are almost exactly identical (and can be considered identical for the scope of this discussion) and will never be merged together.
We want to leverage Oracle Portal as much as we can while also getting as much reuse as we can. Each time we get data from the database, we want the datasource to be dynamic based on the usergroup.
One constraint that we have is that the physical database connection must be connected as the user that's logged into the portal, so I think we have to do some type of User Proxy, but we're not 100% sure how to do that and what that means for all of our java applications.
I'll check out your other posts and see if there is anything in there that may help. Thanks for taking the time. --Derek

Oracle troubles with multiple schemas in same database

We have several different users set up with individual schemas in the
same Oracle database. We run into trouble when more than one user tries
to use Kodo in their local schema. Things go fine for User A, but when
the User B tries to run the schematool on their own Oracle schema, they
get this nonsense:
javax.jdo.JDOFatalDataStoreException: An error occurred while connecting
to the data store.
NestedThrowables:
com.solarmetric.kodo.impl.jdbc.sql.SQLExceptionWrapper: [SQL=SELECT
DISTINCT JDO_SCHEMA_METADATAX.CLASSNAMEX FROM JDO_SCHEMA_METADATAX]

If the User A drops all the tables from their schema, then things go
fine for User B ... but then User A will have the same problem when they
try to run the schematool.
It is our suspicion that Kodo is actually selecting the metadata all of
the tables in **everybody's** schemas, and thus erroneously thinking
that jdo_schema_medatax already exists. It really ought to restrict
itself to the schema it's actually connected to.
If our theory is correct, it would explain why Kodo is so incredibly,
horribly, painfully slow to connect to our Oracle database -- we have
dozens of schemas in there, many of which have hundreds of tables.
Is 2.3.0 addressing this problem?
Paul

Paul,
Are you using the 'schema-name' system preference setting for each user?
Oracle's mechanism for selecting database metadata requires that the
appropriate schema name be explicitly when more than one schemas are used.
See the database setup section of our documentation for more information.

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,

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,

Oracle Portal not working after upgrading from 1.0.2 to 1.0.2.1

Hi All,
Previously I had
9iAS : 1.0.2.0.0
Portal: 3.0.7.6.2
OS: Win NT
and I upgraded to
9iAS: 1.0.2.1.0
Portal: 3.0.8 (using scripts)
Now the scenario is
I can access: Apache, Servlet(IsItWorking) and JSP samples. But now I can't access Oracle portal (ie http://host:port/pls/portal30/). Even Login Server is coming properly (ie http://host:port/pls/portal30_sso/)
There was no errors during upgrade scripts. Also I check the portal30 schema for invalid objects. But there were no invalid objects in that schema.
According to me, all the modules of apache are working only except mod plsql and so i can not access Portal. It gives misconfiguration error from apache. So what can be the problem??
Any ideas in this.
Thanks in advance.

There was an issue reported on this upgrade having to do with multiple entries in the Apache configuration files. Check your .conf files for duplicate entries.

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.

Multiple Schemas under one user account with XE 10g

Hi,
I am using (learning) XE 10g. I would like to know if it is possible to have multiple schemas under one user account and have the schemas logically separated. As of right now, I have three schemas that I am working with, each one under a different user account. This is inconvenient, because I have to logout of one user account and login to another user account simply to be able to work with another schema.
Thanks

It isn't possible to have multiple schemas under one database user account. It is of course possible to grant rights to other database users, and or roles, in order to allow access to the tables/data from other accounts. In Oracle there is a one-one mapping between schema and user.

How can I uninstall a damaged installation of Fusion - PFRD 11.1.1.6.0 - Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer

Hello,
I am upgrading EBS 11i to 12i, Discoverer 4 to 11. After completing ebs installation and upgrade successfully, I am now working on the Oracle Fusion piece of the upgrade.
I have installed
1. JDK
2. Repository Creation Utility - RCU (schema)
3. Weblogic - WLS 10.3.6
4. Oracle Fusion - Discoverer 11g Release 1 Patchset 1 11.1.1.2.0 PFRD
5. Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patchset 11.1.1.6.0 - Patchset 13517084
6. Executed config.sh and it failed with but continued.
During the Configuration of Oracle Fusion with config.sh there was failure at with "fails at creating data sources" and accidentally proceeded and all seem to go well until after shutting down the servers when Weblogic Managed Server is unable to start.
The start log indicated: "weblogic.store.PersistentStoreFatalException: [Store:280105]The persistent file store "_WLS_WLS_DISCO" cannot open file _WLS_WLS_DISCO000000.DAT." and I have been unable to find a solution for this error?
See log file error at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15497130/oracle/ebs11/startManagedWebLogic.sh_nohup.out
If re-installation is my only option, then what are the steps to uninstall, and which components do I have to uninstall given that I had upgraded all the schemas involved?
Mathias

Hey,
You can always change the JDBC datasources in the Weblogic admin console . but have you recorded what is the specific error you got during the datasources creation .
I prefer...create a new user , give him sysdba privillages . Start RCU and create the DEV_DISCOVERER , DEV_DISCOVERER_PS schemas (prefix is your choice)
The Admin server will start . so go to admin console .
click services -> Data Sources
Check the data sources you have . edit each datasource and update the connection pool information .
after this you can start the Managed server WLS_DISCO
i believe this will solve this .........
if you still get issue again . you can try the link Using the WebLogic Persistent Store
Thanks

Oracle Portal 11.1.1.6 with OAM 11.1.1.5

Hi All,
I have the following customer requirement.
Oracle Portal 11.1.1.6 which is deployed on WebLogic Server 10.3.6
Oracle Access Manager 11.1.1.5.0
Oracle Internet Directory 11.1.1.6.0
The customer wants to have Single Sign On for the Oracle Portal Application. This is my understanding about the Architecture.
Oracle HTTP Server (with WebLogic Proxy Plug-in) talks to Oracle Portal
Oracle HTTP Server (the same above with WebGate) talks to Oracle Access Manager
Oracle HTTP Server has Oracle Web Cache
Oracle Access Manager talks to OID
Oracle Portal talks to OID with OID Authenticator
When I went through the Oracle Portal documents, they give steps for Oracle Portal which is deployed on Oracle Application Server but not with WebLogic.
My questions
1) Do I need to configure OID Authenticator at myrealm of WebLogic Domain (which hosts Oracle Portal) to connect to OID?
2) Is there anything more I need to do to integrate Oracle Portal with OID (Meaning running pl/sql scripts or any)?
3) Kindly advice me about the flow of Oracle HTTP Server, Oracle Web Cache, Oracle Web Gate to OAS and Oracle Portal?
Thank you
Regards,
Somerset

As for the questions:
1.
Yes, you can check the details here:

This is in no way a complete list, as it is still not working for me, but some of it:

OHS: Need to set portal name in mod_wl_ohs.CONF

This graphic explains it I believe:
Same doc as above, at the beginning.

You can also check the thread I have started describing my setup/issue:

Hope this helps!
ZoranZoran,
What you are tryiing to accomplish is the different than what Somerset's. Yours is the Oracle webcenter portal vs. Somerset's is the Oracle Portal.
For The road map of Oracle Portal integrating with Oracle Access Manager there is no other way than what I explained. ;)

Please help my Oracle Friends
Your early help will be highly appreciated.
thanks and regards
Hassan

You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
First look for this link then drill into it:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
In this section you will find the following:
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 2 (Forms & Reports)
Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 (11.1.2.0.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) V28761-01

List of Oracle Reports run through Oracle Portal.

Hi,
It's possible that I am posting my message to a wrong Forum. If that's so, please let me know (and the correct forum too).
I have several Oracle Reports that are run through Oracle Portal (when user clicks a link for a report). I want to get a list of all such Oracle Reports in one go as I need to modify all of them. At the moment, to get the actual report name that I need to modify I am following the steps below.
When I am at 'Oracle Reports Security' page (in the Portal) where there is a section 'Reports Definition File Access',
1. I click list icon without entering any value in the box. It shows me a list of all report definitions.
2. After selecting a report definition, and clicking Edit, it shows me 'Manage Component' page. There are several links available. One of them is 'Edit'.
3. I click 'Edit' and it shows me the actual 'Oracle Reports File Name'. This is the file I need to work on.
But instead of following the above steps for each of the several reports I need to modify, is there any way, say by running a SQL query, to find out the actual Oracle Reports file names?
The 'Manage Component' page shows 'Run Link' and links for 'PL/SQL source'. I tried to search for the schema name and package name in the database (by connecting as SYS user). However, I found neither the Schema not the Package.
Hope my question is clear. In brief, I want to get a list of Oracle Reports file names that are run through Oracle Portal.
Any questions, please let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Manoj.

Jim,
Did you ever try to add Reports portlet as an item, so that user can click on each item to customize/schedule the report? You can have 50 of them, if that is what you really need.
Any reason why you want to create custom user interface, instead of using this vehicle that Portal provided by default?
You mentioned "The report Portlet ... does not allow customization." Actually, it does. You can do it by clicking on the Customize link of the Reports portlet.
Hope this helps,
-Jeff

Publish a BI Publisher HTML output to the Oracle Portal

We currently use multiple JSPs to assemble and display employee data in portlets in our Oracle Portal. We're interested in redoing the display of this data using BI Publisher and would still like to send it to a portlet in our Oracle Portal. Essentially we would pass the userid as a parameter to BI Publisher when the employee logs on to the portlet. I was wondering if anyone ever published the HTML formatted output to an Oracle Portal?

Hi,
I am facing the same problem. Any updates on this issue.
Thanks

I want to load this file into a table, validate it (against SpecificAttributes.3.0.xsd, genericNrm.xsd and configData.xsd) and query that table. How would the INSERT .. and the SELECT ... for userLabel attribute look like?
Many thanks!

Hi Peter,
Please use the validateXML BPEL Property : This property validates incoming and outgoing XML documents. If set to true, the Oracle BPEL Process Manager applies schema validation for incoming and outgoing XML documents. This property is applicable to both durable and transient processes. The default value is false.
Cheers

How to registor database provider in oracleAS portal

hi,
problem occur when i register a database provider into oracleAS portal.i create database provider by using locally built provider in oracleAS portal.
i Register the name of the schema containing the provider implementation and don't no package that implements its functionality.
so i want to create a package please write a code if possible or any documentation related to my problem.

Thanks bgrinvalds.
I really start off with an empty BPEL process and check the box says "Create Instance" in the receive activity.
But after I deploy the polling service, it didn't take effect (Once you deploy these processes they will begin polling the table you defined.).
Now, I can insert data into the table through Database Adapter.
But still can't select data from the table through Database Adapter (Above error still happen when invoke the read database table with Database Adapter project).
And I find some examples in this directory: %SOA_HOME%\bpel\samples\tutorials\122.DBAdapter. But after I import these project into JDeveloper, I still can't see the configuration of the Database Adapter in Adapter Configuration Wizard. It's a pity!

Oracle Portal Load Balancing question

Our customer wishes to have multiple Oracle Application Servers running Oracle Portal, with load balancing. They would like to have Web Cache collocated with one of these Portal servers, operating as a load balancer for the Portal servers (including the one collocated with Web Cache). Our understanding is that this is not supported, since Web Cache must use the same port number as the destination server it is load balancing, and this is a problem with collocation. The alternative of using mod_oc4j load balancing by OHS is we understand not supported for Portal. The customer does not wish to use external, hardware load balancers, or operating system load balancing. We understand that the solution is to use Web Cache on a dedicated separate server, to load balance the Portal servers. Can you please confirm that, or is collocation possible to avoid the cost of the dedicated Web Cache server.
thanks,
