Oracle Upgrade for Portal EP6 SP14

Hi,
I have upgraded oracle 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.0 and applied all the latest patch for Oracle.
After upgrading the oracle when i try to logon to Portal iam getting error "Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
String index out of range: -1.
But when i try to access j2ee http://hostname:port iam able to see system information..
but when i try to access the http://hostname:port/irj iam not able to see even the logon page.
Regards
Mani
kindly help me to solve the above error

Hi Mani,
did you update the jdbc driver for the newest (10.2.0.2 or better) ?
did you modify all rdbms.driverLocation of javaparameters in configtool?
Please tell the patches and hotfixes that you applied.
Maybe there something in sapnotes about it.

Virtual host name for Portal (EP6 SP9)

Hi,
I just tried to set virtual host for the portal URL of a EP6 SP9. I set an DNS-Alias portal.company.com for the IP-adress leading to hostname.company.com. So, http://portal.company.com:50000/irj already leads to the portal start page.
I cannot find any differences after setting the virtual host alias 'portal' in the J2EE Administrator. I read the documentation in help.sap.com ... don#t know how to proceed. When looking at the access path in the details menu of a KM file, I still get the hostname.company.com-URL ....
In addition, can I switch the J2EE Engine make listen to port 80 and lead the alias directly to /irj, so that http://portal.company.com directly leads to the portal logon page??
Thanks for any help
Martin

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,

Installing EP6-SP14 and upgrade?

Hi,
I need to install EP6-SP14 on WebAS 6.40. I have got SP9 installation files for Portal and WebAS and upgrade support packs for SP10, SP12, SP13, SP14.
The procedure I have got now is to install SP9 first and then upgrade to SP14. My first question here is can I upgrade straight from SP9 to SP14 without going through cumulative upgrades?
For some reason I don't have support pack for SP11, is this SP intentionally not released, so we can jump to SP12 from SP10?
Could anyone please give me the direct download links of EP6-SP14 download in SAP services.
Thanks
Siva

Hi Shiva,
NWDS Patch is independent from Portal SP.
SP14 is also available for NWDS.
u can download it from.
service.sap.com/swdc -> Sap support package ->
SAP NETWEAVER ->SAP NETWEAVER 04 -> Entry by Component" Developer Studio
if ur problem is solved close this forum.
don't forgot to give rewards point.
if u have any query related to applying patch revert me back i'll help u.
regards,
kaushal

Patchset 3 application for portal upgrades

i was just wondering ... has anybody applied the patchset 3 for portal upgrades - for 3.0.9 to 9.0.4 portals? .... while my experience on these forums is quite frustrating as no body replies usually ... yet if anyone has done it then i would like to know about this patchset results.
- did it go smoothly? specially the second part
- did you restore the files and folders manually after applying the repository update? the list of files ... that are given for manual restoration. is it essential to restore them for complete application of this patchset? the long long documentation is ambiguous about it.
- how did you restart the portal.

thank you for the message.
i asked for the experience because the long documentation in this patchset 3 tells us neither to try to access the portal application, nor to retry the patch set, if it fails in the second part of it. there is also no way to uninstall patchset 3 or any of its parts. in that scenario, they only recommend contacting the Oracle support.
the documentation seemed a little unclear at best because it did not hint or mention about restoring files and folders after the application of the patchset in the part of documentation before application steps. it asks you to do this only after these steps that restore files and folders - some automatically and some need to be done manually. it recommends the backup at many different stages for all the system. so i did not restore those files manually because i did not have a complete back up and missed a few files. so my mistake!!
it did not fix the error wwc-41417. i restarted all services and components but on trying to login to the portal i got it again. but it is hard to conclude if it only happened because the files were not restored.
that is why i asked about other people's experience if they have applied it.
how did you apply it?

Oracle Upgrade to 9i for BO 5i

I'm preparing for an Oracle upgrade from 8.1.6 to 9.2 and a unix server migration via Oracle Export / Import. Potentially going on to 10g at a later point.
Will importing the BO user and re-pointing users to the new database be sufficient to upgrade the BO elements or are there other steps? I believe some overnight jobs are kicked off externally by what sounds like the "SDK" so I don't believe there are any server related BO elements in BO 5i.
All help appreciated. Information on the ground here is quite sketchy and I'm not a BO person.
Regards

you can always upgrade to new versions from lower versions.
(upgradation to 9i from 7.x is also possible)

I'm running OS X 10.3.9 & have ITunes 7. Got a IPhone4 for xmas & ITunes 7 won't talk to it. So I need to upgrade the OS apparently to be able to upgrade ITunes.

Thanks for any help
I think others have answered most of your questions, but you indicated that "iTunes 10 is for Intel Macs only" -- that is not actually correct, you can certainly run iTunes 10 on your G5 PowerPC. What you need to do is:
(1) upgrade to 10.5 operating system
(2) upgrade to iTunes 10
While Apple doesn't officially sell 10.5 anymore (Apple sells 10.6, but 10.6 won't install on your G5 PowerPC), if you call their 800 number and explain that you need it to use your new iPhone, they may be able to sell you a copy from old inventory. Alternatively, some retailers are still selling older inventory 10.5 install DVDs but you need the version that installs on any computer, many 10.5 disks are made for a specific model only.
Before you do either (1) or (2) above, make sure you have enough memory as indicated by Apple in their system requirements. If you need more memory, it is inexpensive to upgrade.

Upgrading to Oracle 10g for R/3 4.5B

Hello All,
One of the businesses we support is running SAP R/3 4.5B on Oracle 9.2.0.6. The kernel details are:
SAP R/3 Kernel information:
SAP R/3 Kernel          45B
Database version        OCI_80500_SHARED
created in                  SunOS 5.5.1 Generic_103640-19 sun4u
Patch level                 972
Is there a path to upgrade the database to 10g with this R/3 release without SAP upgrade?
All information will be useful.
Many Thanks,
Nisch

Nisch,
also, please note the excerpt below taken from note 819655 (please check it for an updated version):
Oracle Version
For general information regarding the support of Oracle version 10.2, see Note 720886 .
Even though Oracle 10 will not be generally certified for SAP systems with Releases 3.1I up to 4.6B, it is fully supported to upgrade these systems to Oracle 10.2 prior to the SAP upgrade or prior to the PREPARE phase of the upgrade.
The system can run with this setup for weeks with full support. This procedure was tested in the SAP-internal upgrade validation phase. However, you will encounter limitations in the field of database monitors and you cannot copy such a system to a target system running on Oracle 10g. From a business application perspective, you can use the system without any limitations.
Double Stack systems: When you upgrade the SAP J2EE Engine from NW ´04 to NW2004s, you must apply at least Support Package 12 of the SAP J2EE Engine before the upgrade to Oracle 10.
Also, note 868681 confirms the above, i.e..:
"SAP Systems 31I - 45B
The transports included within this note are not relevant for SAP releases 31I - 45B. These systems (31I - 45B) have to be upgraded to Oracle 10.x during preparations for the SAP Upgrade (release 700).
The monitoring transactions such as DB02 may not work correctly in these systems after upgrade to Oracle 10.x. However there is NO IMPACT on any of the business transactions."
Meaning, that if you upgrade your 4.5b system to Oracle 10g outside of a SAP upgrade project, you may find yourself running an unsupported installation.

JC

Is there a Oracle site for user to practice Portal?

Hello,
Is there a Oracle site for user to practice Portal?
Thank you for your attention,
Emily123

Not exactly, but you can do some of this at http://portalstudio.oracle.com like (testing your portlets). It might be a helpful resource for you too.
Portal is a rather easy setup too if you have a system with at least 1.5 GB of RAM where you can install the infrastructure & middle-tiers on a single system. But I'd still look at this site to see if it has resources that help you with your Portal development.
I hope this helps.

/oracle/oraInventory for oracle upgrade

Hello,
I am going to update oracle9.2.0.6 to 10.2.0.4 for SAP system. But the old /oracle/oraInventory (of oracle 9.2.0.6) is lost. Does it really matter?
What kinds of information will be read from /oracle/oraInventory during upgrade? Is it possible to upgrade without it?
Thank you very much.

Hi Rongfeng,
Yes it is possible to upgrade to Oracle 10g without it.
For more details check oracle Upgrade doc at service.sap.com/instguides>Other Documentation> Database Upgrades

I think you're trying to connect to a database in a diferent host than the Web Server.
This is possible in applcations, but not in applets, who only can open TCP connections to the same machine who served the page.
To do that, yo should use a Data Gateway to establish the connections (IDSServer, and so on). I think that installing Oracle's Connection Manager in the same machine than the Web, it would run.

Oracle Intall: for EP6 SP9 WAS640

Hi,
we preparing to install EP6 SP9 WAS640 with Oracle DB on Solaris.
We looked in the installation documentation on SAP Net and there is no document for:
Installing the Oracle Database for EP6 SP9
Installing the WAS640 for EP6 SP9
Previously we installed EP6 SP2 and these documents existed for that installtion.
Does anybody know where the documents are or when they will be available ?
Thank you,
Tomas.

There was a thread here about about the fastest way to get to EP6SP9. You should look for that.
But basically you need to do the following
oracle install Patch to 9.2.0.6
Was sp3 install
update to stack 09
ep6 install
patch to stack09
... etc etc
There are detailed instructions, try looking for that thread.

Tool generated files missing after upgrade to Oracle Workshop for Weblogic

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate a beehive/netui web-application from Bea Workspace Studio 1.1 to Oracle Workshop for WebLogic 10R3. The application builds successfully, but when I access the application, I get a "Missing Struts Module Configuration" error.
I checked the build folder, and discovered that several tool-generated files where missing. Entire _pageflow folder is missing and all of the controls related files are missing.
Anyone have an idea of what is going on here?
Rune

Rune,
Could you provide details on the migration process you followed ?
Also are you trying to develop and deploy against WLS 10.3 ?
