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?

Restricting the drop down menu contents in CRM BSP application for portal

Dear All,
I have a problem with CRM BP where I am accessing a BSP application for ACTIVITIES - SEARCH "CRMD_BUS2000126_F4" as an iview. This iview has been assigned to a user who is an external employee of the organization. This contains a drop-down menu to search for ACTIVITIES based on user's choice(ME, MY DEPT, MY GROUP..etc). My problem is to restrict the choices in the DROP-DOWN menu to only ME and remove all others.
How do i do that???

Hi Chan,
u r on right track.
Save the changes that you make to the field group (entering a default value and tick 'read-only')
I hope you are changing the field-group in CRMC_BLUEPRINT_C.
after u have saved the canges to the fieldgroup, you need to re-gerenate the layout.
Layout of User Interface (People-Centric UI) -> Application Element -> Field Group -> Layout Generation.
Enter the name of the fieldgroup that u just changed.
First run it as it is (with the "Only Check Field-Groups" ) to see if it is running into any errors.
If there are no errors, Make sure that you remove the "Only Check Field-Groups" option and then execute.
The layout will b generated and you should see the desired changed now.
Hope this helps. / reward points if helpful..

Trying to do the simple HelloWorld java application for portal

Hi:
i've been trying to do the simple java application HelloWorld so that i can get a view of how will it be to integrate a pure java application that we have in a later step. The fact is that i've been following "how to build a java portlet" and "packaging and deploying your provider" documents.
i've taken the code from that document:
public class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main (string[] args){
//Display "Hello World!"
System.out.println("Hello World!");
That's my java code. (in fact i want to do this as a trial, 'cause later i will
do the same with a java application of our own).
So i compiled it, taken the .class, jar it and packaged it as told in the
second document.
I've deployed it in OC4J_portal and when i try to access the URL i get an
error:
500 Internal Server Error

Regards. Urko.

Hi Urko,
Such an application as you have quoted will not have much luck as a Portlet - the code you supplied simply writes "Hello World" to standard out!
Think of a portlet more like a servlet - you have an output stream to write to which, under the covers, is wired back up to the Portal Server which assembles the content into the page seen in the browser.
Take a look at the extensive range of sample Java Portlets available with the PDK download.
Anyway, from the stack trace it looks like you're using JavaRenderer. JavaRenderer invokes an arbitrarily named method on an arbitrary class **provided** that method takes a single argument of type PortletRenderRequest. So you would need something like:-
public class MyApp
// A bunch of app-specific code.
public void renderPortlet(PortletRenderRequest pr)
PrintWriter out = pr.getWriter();
out.println("<b>Hello World</b>");
Then, the relevant provider.xml section would look something like this....
<showPage class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.http.JavaRenderer>
<className>MyApp</className>
<renderMethod>renderPortlet</renderMethod>
</showPage>
Hope this helps.....

Application for portal

I'm trying to figure out if OracleAS is what I want to build my application. I need to build an application that gives the user access to creating tables and definine queries. I'd like to be able to integrate tools like Oracle's console manager to create/manager tables, have access to table attribute information so I can translate column names to my applications properties names and vice versa, and I also need to be able to provide a tool to allow users to configure complex sql that contain run time substitution variables for query parameters.
Am I looking at the right oracle product to do this?

Damien,
According to the plans PDK-September will contain a PL/SQL discussion forum portlet. Keep an eye on the PDK tab of Portal Studio (http://portalstudio.oracle.com).

Problems while migrating PDK applications from Portal 7.1 to Portal 7.3

Hi All,
I am facing a problem while migrating a PDK application from Portal 7.1 to Portal 7.3.
Since Portal 7.3 doesnt support PAR files any more it provided with a tool to convert the PAR to an EAR file and deploy the resultant EAR to the new portal.
I converted the PAR into EAR and deployed the file but the application is not executing. When I looked into the log files i found the following exception. The application is not able to identify the tag "documentBody". I checked the protalapp.xml and the "SharingReference" is properly maintained in the file but the error message suggests that its not able to fine the reference to the tagLib uri maintained in the portalapp.xml
Now my question is why is it not able to obtain a reference to the taglib? Did any one face similar problem previously. Can you please provide me with any document for migrating / developing PDK application for Portal 7.3

Hi Amit,
Thanks for your reply. I could see some progress after "thoroughly" going through those links. Thanks a lot (gave points too )
Now I am facing another problem. The application did deploy successfully but with a warning. When i checked the warning it says that the deployment was successful but can not be started.
The log file has the following error message.
Global [startApp] operation of application [newsint.co.uk/newsint~cas~ptlsvc] finished with errors for [5] ms on server process [2721950] [

Reason: it has hard reference to the following resources, which are currently not available on the system: hard to SAPPORTAL/com.sapportals.htmlb (public) (f=true, cl=false); .

I dont understand why is SAPPORTAL/com.sapportals.htmlb is not available. As per my understanding it is some thing that should be available with the portal server by default.
Any hints from any one?
thanks in advance

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.

Please my friend put some of his applications for me but now I want to upgrade it's not asking me for my account but for his.How do I transfer to my own account? Thank you.

You cannot transfer your friend's applications to your account.
All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with.
You can only update using your friend's ID.

Richard,
You'll need to have 1.0.2.2 to be installed on the middle tier before performing the upgrade for your portal 3.0.9 upgrade repository on the database end. So that means, you'll need to wait for the Linux download of iAS 1.0.2.2 to be available before beginning your upgrade of the portal repository, assuming that your middle tier of iAS is also on a Linux box.
iAS 1.0.2.2 does indeed include Portal 3.0.9, of which Portal 3.0.9 components will be installed during the upgrade process along with the upgrade of the middle tier. During the upgrade process, the installer (from my personal experience on NT), will notify you that it is performing an upgrade installation of your middle tier, provided that you specified the middle tier's ORACLE_HOME when executing the oracle installer.
Just be sure to read and follow the 9iAS Migration guide before beginning your upgrade of the middle tier to iAS 1.0.2.2. After upgrading the middle tier to 1.0.2.2, the actual upgrade of the portal repository was extremely simple by comparison.
The upgrade of the portal repository took a few hours (my recommendation is to invoke it off before leaving for the evening), and it will leave a detailed logfile for you to peruse afterwards, if you choose).
Best Regards,
Harry
