Portal 4.0 sp1 problem

I created 'myportal' strictly following the instructions, when tried to
access it, saw " Functionality temporarily unavailable" and a null exception
is thrown at welcome jsp doStartTag function.
I am using 4.0 sp1 under nt with cloudscape. We have a portal 3.5
application under 2000 server with oracle, we are thinking if we want to
upgrade to 4.0. Is 4.0 stable?
Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem as the original poster. I followed the
following directions that you outlined in another post:
To copy the necessary webflow resources:
i) Look at the definition of portlet3 in the EBCC you will see that it
requires access to a webflow called portlet3.wf. This file needs to be
datasynced to your new application.
ii) Locate the file portlet3.wf in the directory
applications/portal-project/application-sync/webapps/stockportal.
iii) Copy this file to the sibling directory
applications/portal-project/application-sync/webapps/myportal.
iv) Perform a data-sync.
First of all, the destination directory did not exist, so I created it. I
copied the portlet3.wf file to that directory, and performed a data-syncby
going the Tools|Synchronize in the EBCC. I still got the same error. I
then copied all of the files from stockportal to myportal, and syncedagain.
It still didn't work.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Sean

Jay,
If you are still experiencing this problem, please check that all the
webflow files specified in portlet3.portlet are available in the webAppyou
are deploying to. It looks like the portlet cannot find one of thewebflows
specified.

Adrian.

WL Portal 4.0 SP1 & RedHat 7.1: Install Failure

Hi.
I was trying to install WL Portal 4.0 SP1 in Redhat 7.1.
The steps I first made were:
1. jsdk1.4 install
2. WL Server 6.1 SP2 install in directory "/usr/bea"
In the installation script of the Portal, after choosing to use the pre-existing
BEA directory ("/usr/bea"), I got the following error:
Weblogic Server 6.1 Not Installed
------------------------------------------------------------ WebLogic Server 6.1
is a prerequisite for this installation. You do not seem to have it installed
to /usr/bea
NOTE: I has using console mode installation
Thanks in advance,
Renato

Renato,
The WebLogic Portal 4.0 SP1 installer cannot figure out where
WebLogic Server 6.1 is installer. On Linux, the installer reads
the beahomelist file under the $HOME/bea directory. That means
that if you use different user to install WebLogic Server 6.1 than
the user you are using for WebLogic Portal 4.0, then it will not
find where WLS is installed. You can either use the same user
account or create the beahomelist with one line that indicates the
location (directory of your BEA_HOME) under $HOME/bea directory.
Also, I noticed that you tried with J2SE 1.4. Keep in mind that
WebLogic Portal 4.0 SP1 has not been tested and certified with
that version and that you might run into problems.
Hope this helps,
Michel.

I am using ORACLE.
Actually the iview is the standard par iview, so i have created it from the "iview from Par" and that too in my test server seperately. I have created a new folder and under it i have created this new iview from Par. I have taken the com.sap.km.activityreport.frontend. and under this the activity report component.
I have also restarted the Data collection service. Other than these I did not do any other configurations. Any thing else is required?
Thanks in advance,

Portal and Internet Explorer problem

Hi everyone. My problem is that I'm using Portal through the WEB AS Java stack SP09 and i can't update to the newer stacks since I'm on IDES system, so it has to be SP09. Well, my operating system Win 2003 x64 comes with Internet explorer 8 by default.
i have some problems with IE8, Chrome or FireFox when browsing through the Portal, for example, I can't add to the Group "Everyone" End user permissions, because the "ADD" button is greyed out.
I tried to uninstall the IE8, but i can't find the way to do it. I can't remove it through the Control panel (there is no option to remove it)
nor can I do it through the Command Line with %windir%\ie8\spuninst\spuninst.exe because I don't have the IE8 folder!!
Do you have any ideas on how could i solve it?

Thank you guys for the answers, but
1/ I can't upgrade the SP lever, since I'm on IDES system and I don't have any Maintenance Certificates to installa packages, besides the fact that they have to be dowloaded through the Solution manager
2/ I tries the compatibility mode and nothings's changed. The problem I'm having is that when I'm in the Portal and do a right-click for example in PortalContent > landscapesystem > SAP_BW. it opens the Internet Explorer menu and not the Portal's, so I can't choose "new" or "open" or "permissions" and when i doble click it the drop-down menu that appears where I could choos the same options is too narrow and empty.....
i donwgraded finally the IE to the IE7 version, but no luck either. i tried to install the IE6, but there is no IE6 version for x64 bits systems.
Any other suggestions? How could i make this context menu available?

9.0.2.6 Portal Repository Upgrade Patch problems.

We got some problem with Portal when tryed to apply
9.0.2.6 Upgrade. Could anybody give advice on this issue:
Initial configuration:
Solaris8, Portal 9.0.2.2.14, Oracle 9iAS R2 v.9.0.2.0, RDBMS 9.0.1.3. The infrastructure and midtier work on different SPARC-servers.
Accordingly upgrade procedure we succesfully applied:
a) Infrastructure: 9.0.1.4 Patchset for Oracle RDBMS server, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for OID, Oracle 9iAS SSO-server
migration to 9.0.2.5, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for 9iAS Core.
b) 9.0.1.4 Patchset for Oracle RDBMS server, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for OID, Oracle 9iAS SSO-server migration to 9.0.2.5, 9.0.2.2 Patchset for 9iAS Core, Portal 9.0.2.6
patch.
After this we needed to make just one last step:
Portal 9.0.2.6 Repository Upgrade Patch (2981297) for
changing Portal's repository schemes. It worked but
like a result we got the next errors after patch upgrade
was done:
a) "The following invalid non-Portal objects exist in the Portal Schema: INDEX ABC (the name of portal object), PACKAGE BODY WWMON_REP_REPOSITORY, PACKAGE BODY WWMON_REP_REPOSIT_DTL, PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "," when expecting one of the following: (-+case mod not null <an identifier>,...) The symbol "null" was substituted for "," to continue.)" See upgtmp/nonportal.log
b) "ERROR: 1 invalid objects remain; ERROR: Failed while updating the new portlet IDS..."
c) "ERROR: ORA-01407: cannot update ("PORTAL"."WWSBR_URL$"."URL") to NULL.
d) Two package body of packages at PORTAL scheme became invalid: WWMON_REP_REPOSITORY, WWMON_REP_REPOSIT_DTL. About 20 package body of packages at PORTAL_DEMO became invalid (It seems like initial portlet ID's disappeared
and except of pportlet_id there is nothing:
Example:
inital statement at body:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PORTAL.wwpro_api_invalidation.invalidate_cache(
p_provider_id => p_provider_id,
p_portletid => 1065753336,
p_instance_id => p_reference_path,
p_subscriber_id => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_subscriber_id ,
p_user => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user);
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
after upgrade repository patch:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PORTAL.wwpro_api_invalidation.invalidate_cache(
p_provider_id => p_provider_id,
p_portletid => ,
p_instance_id => p_reference_path,
p_subscriber_id => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_subscriber_id ,
p_user => PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user);
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Like a result after 9.0.2.6 Portal Repository Upgrade Patch application we lost the possibility to edit user's
profiles at Portal and other nesessary features. It seems
like some portlet ID's just dissapeared from Portal scheme. Could anybody had the same problem with Portal Upgrade 9.0.2.6? Quite possible that we missed some important element at during upgrade but ,really, we didn't wait so unlucky result. Advice something, please...
Regards. Igor.

Igor,
Since you've encountered undocumented errors, your repository upgrade has failed. You'll want to leave the repository as is for troublshooting, if at all possible, and log a TAR with support if you haven't already. They'll ask you to upload your upgrade log file and your upgrade tmp directory.
Regards

Portal crashes and intermittant problems..urgent help needed.

hi!!
We have a 3-server portal installation with one j2ee dispatcher and two
j2ee servers on each server.
We are experiencing major issues with the consistency or
synchronisation between the servers and availability of portal applications.
For example the themes editor is only available on sptl1 server0, so if
you are lucky and log onto that server you can use this application.
THIS IS ONE OF MANY examples of this type of issue. How can we ensure
that the landscape is consistent? Screen shots from sptl1 showing the
themes application being available and not available.
A simple look at the filesystem reveals the following, and only the
themes editor directory and contents are on sptl1.
JSPM deployment finished successfully.
sptl1:root:/ > find / -name "com.sap.portal.themes.editor" -print
/usr/sap/PP1/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/portal/portalapps/com.sap.portal.themes.editor

Oracle Portal 3.0 Beta - problem with connection

After finally getting a clean install of Oracle Portal 3.0 on Oracle 8.1.6 on Windows 2000, I am having problems connecting with the database when I try the PORTAL30 or PORTAL30_SSO URL. I get an error:
"Proxy Logon Failed - please verify you have specified correct connectivity in the DAD... Error Code 6401 - DATABASE LOGIN FAILED - TNS is unable to connect to destination. Invalid TNS address or destination not listening..."
The Oracle listener is up, the database is in the TNS names file on both Ora81 and OraPortal30 homes.
One thing I do know is that when I configure the DADs for a user/pswd and connect string, and enter the actual Oracle password, it returns with a long series of **************** for the password, which is must longer than the actual one.
I have hit a roadblock and would appreciate any support.

UPDATE to the PROBLEM:
I tried everything and then I stumbled upon something. In the Net8 configuration assistant for Oracle 8i, when I went into Naming Methods configuration, it said that I was only using Local. I added Oracle Names and tried again... SAME ERROR. RRRRRGGGHH!!! I had no trouble using SQL*Plus so what was going on!??
Then I went to check the TNSNAMES.ORA in both the ORA8i and OraPortal30 network/admin directories. They were both exactly the same, with ORCLDEV1 (my sid) defined. Hmmm.... THEN, I looked in the directory and saw SQLNET.ORA. I compared the files in the two directories and they were DIFFERENT!!!
The one in Ora8i had a NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, LDAP, ONAMES, HOSTNAME).
The one in OraPortal30 had a NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (LDAP, ONAMES).
On a hunch, I changed the one in OraPortal30 to be the same as Ora8i.
Then, I went to http://bwood/pls/portal30 and VOILA!!! I got the main page. I then clicked on LOGIN and got the sign-on screen. It has been working so far!!!
I will continue to post the progress of this as we begin to convert an older OWS 2.1 application to Portal 3.0!!

DS XI3.2 SP1 - Problem when starting RFC server from management console

Hi,
We're using DataServices XI 3.2 SP1 FP1 on a windows 2008 server 64bits to load SAP BW. We have set up an external system in SAP BW called "DI_SOURCE" and then successfully created a RFC server interface (DI_SOURCE) within the management console.
When we try to start this RFC server from the management console, we immediately get the following error message : "An internal error occurred in: server.start()::rfc_bad_connection".
On the other hand, when we follow the "old method" (pre SP2) and start the RFC server from a command window, it works : we have "CONNECTION DI_SOURCE OK" in SAP BW.
Any ideas how to solve this ?
Thanks,
Olivier

Hi,
We have tried your suggestions above.
Instead of just crashing we now get an error from designer (before closing down). Seems as if our librfc32.dll has a problem.
We have verified that the librfc32.dll from the Data Services package is the only one on the server.

Anonymous Portal ... Problem accessing images, css, js

Hi, i'm trying to build a web site to be accesed from internet and i'm having some trouble with some specific points (i'm new with SAP). I've seen many questions like this in the forums but none are finally answered.
I setup the anonymous portal based on SAP Instructions (help.sap), i'm using the Guest user to the anonymous users and i can access without login throught this adress http://localhost:50000/irj/portal/anonymous.
<b>First Question</b>
When i create a html using the html editor from the KM it work fine, i can see the page with the styles i used; but when i inssert an image uploaded, the page start to ask for authentication and don't show the image, if i enter a valid user and password it shows the image correctly. I tryed assinging permissions to the Guest user over the image and it doesn't work. As you know as i'm trying to make a Web Site to run on the Internet and it cannot ask the users of the portal to authenticate, this is my first question, how can i setup the portal to not ask authentication for this image? if i access the image directly also ask for authentication and shows an unauthorized page, i tryed this two links: http://localhost:50000/irj/go/km/docs/documents/abc_htmlfiles/images/0186.jpg
http://localhost:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/abc_htmlfiles/images/0186.jpg
<b>Second Question</b>
Locally i create a html and i upload it through the KM, i used separate .css file (style sheet file) and .js file (javascript file) to make some effects but when i load the html to the KM Document Iview it shows only the text and doesn't recognize the files with the styles or the javascript; i have the html over the abc_htmlfiles directory (my test directory) and the css files on the css directory, look this is the directory structure on KM:
/root/documents/abc_htmlfiles/page0.html
/root/documents/abc_htmlfiles/css/styles0.css
/root/documents/abc_htmlfiles/js/script0.js
from the html i've tried to access the .css and .js like this:
<LINK rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles0.css" type="text/css"/>
<SCRIPT src="js/script0.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
What is the path to access this kind of resources?
<b>Third Question</b>
Now i just can create html content in the web site, but i don't know how to create a navegation menu, a menu which show me the different sections and iviews, do you have a link where i can get a step by step to create a menu like this?
I really appreciate answers to my questions and think that i can assign some points (if you explain me how) to the people who help me.

First Question
I solved my problem following the SAP Note 837898, I am using the NW04 SP16 - Enterprise Portal 6.0.
The problems as i understood is that SAP Portal uses WebDav authentication throught the default access /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/, to avoid that authentication when using anonymous you have to config the portal to allow this path to access the documents in KM /irj/go/km/docs/. The way you config the portal is described step by step in the <b>Note 837898</b> .. I followed all the steps (including the ones who modifies the Standard User Role iviews in Portal Content) and finally i restarted the Portal.
It works for me and my SAP EP version.
Second Question
The 2nd Question was solved the way one of the posters said in this thread, but to anonymous portals after config the Note 837898 you should use the path <b>/irj/go/km/docs/</b> to avoid the authentication window which prompts for the user and password.
<LINK REL=stylesheet HREF="/irj/go/km/docs/documents/abc_htmlfiles/css/styles0.css">
<SCRIPT src="/irj/go/km/docs/documents/abc_htmlfiles/js/scripts0.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
Third Question
The menus in SAP portal are made with Roles and assigned to the groups that are going to have access to the options of the menus .. it's quite simple following the links suggested in the answers already posted in this thread.

2013 SP1 problem - the microsoft exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart outlook

I've looked at other answers to this problem but they seem to relate to multi server environments or new migrations - neither apply here. The Exchange 2013 server was implemented last year as a migration from Exchange 2007. It has been running well since.
I upgraded to SP1 on Sunday night and since then all users, regardless of Outlook version, are continually being asked to "the microsoft exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart outlook". Clicking OK loads Outlook
normally (no restart). I can delete the Outlook profile and set up a new profile OK but the issue comes back again. Deleting the users roaming or local profile does not help either.
The CAS seems to be set correctly - when I run Get-MailboxDatabase | fl RpcClientAccessserver it returns the correct server.
There are no public folders set up.

Thanks for the update. It was the PF that caused the issue.
When I removed the old Exchange 2010 server it did not remove everything for AD. Had to manually remove the older sever.

How I Solved My XP SP1 Problem

You'll never guess in a million years so I'll tell you:-
I have a K7D-420 motherboard & a Lian-Li PC6089 case. The case has front-mounted USB ports that attach to the USB header on the motherboard via 9 individual pins (as opposed to a single 9-pin plug).
As the labelling on the pins differs slightly from what is on the motherboard, I'd matched them up wrong - I knew this already as the ports weren't working.
I'd left them attached (whilst running XP) as I hadn't experienced any problems. However, applying SP1 which, I believe, contains USB updates, totally kills my system! So, the solution was to detach the front USB ports - as simple as that.
On a side note, if anyone has the same motherboard & case & knows which pin goes where to get the ports working, I'd appreciate the help.

This is difficult to explain but I will try.I have a 415, but the layout should be the same. you should have 2, 9 or 10 pin usb headers right above the floppy ribbon port. say they look like this ::::: , top right is 1, bottom right is 2, top left is 9 and bottom left is 10 (you can fill the rest in). using this number scheme, here's the layout: pins 1,3,5,7 are 1 usb, pins 2,4,6,8 are 2nd usb (pins 9 and 10 are not used). pin1=VCC, pin 3=data+, pin5=data-, pin 7=ground. exact same thing on the bottom row. next you need to map your case's usb header connections(to motherboard) to the actual contacts inside the usb plug-in end. Looking from the front (of the plug-in end) with the contacts facing down, from left to right: VCC / Data- / Data + / Ground. So all you have to do is make sure the connections go from the correct contact to the correct pin on the motherboard header. ie: the left contact goes to pin1, next goes to pin 5, third goes to pin 3, fourth (right) goes to pin 7 (this is with the contacts facing down again)

Portal 3.0 installation problems for NT

I have installed Oracle 8.1.6 enterprise edition in my NT server, after I have tried to install Portal 3.0 with success result. But the problem is that my USERS tablespace has 8Gb ?why?
I unistall portal 3.0 and USERS tablespace has always 8Gb.
I try to unistall Oracle8i but all the registry is full of references to Oracle. And I cant install anymore Oracle8i.
What can I do?
thank's
Maite

When the general Oracle Portal message board opens, you should post your question there. This board is for the PDK.
BTW, here is a site that has info on how to remove all Oracle software from your machine:

Did anyone try to cluster BEA Portal 7.0 sp1

Hi,
Am trying to cluster BEA Portal sp1 ,everything goes fine but when i try to
access the portal on both the servers on the second server i get a Portal Null
State Exception .The App works fine on the Primary Server ,but shows bizarre behaviour
on the secondary.Have configured session replicaton,replication groups etc
Would appreciate any help.
Regards
Parikshit

Hi Parikshit,
First of all make sure to deploy the PortalApp to the cluster. The best way to
make sure is to open config.xml file and see the entry for PortalApp. Also make
you the PortalApp is sync to both the server. Follow the datasync-cluster setup
guideline which is in dev2dev.

Syed

Federated Portal Network EP7 SP19 Problem

Hi,
I've got the following problem regarding FPN:
When I click on the Portal in "NetWeaver Content Producers" to open the producer, the following message apears:
13:45:44 - Could not load or refresh node Tree creation failed on node: pcd:NetWeaver_content_producers/com._company_producerhostname
The consumer portal is EP7 SP19 and the producer is a composition enviroment 7.11 EHP1.
SSO between this portals is working and the connection test from the consumer to the producer is finished succesfully.
The consumer is registered to the producer.
Does anybody know this problem?
Thanks ahead

Hi,
maybe your CE can't process the SSL connection successfully:
SAP Help: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/6e/b4ea4724334883b2825f699fd71b84/frameset.htm
"SSL Protocol Support Available in Remote Delta Link Usage Mode: Note that setting up SSL for remote delta link usage is optional. If you choose to do so, you need to perform the necessary configuration steps on the producer portal and the consumer portal."
Have you executed the tasks suggested? http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711/helpdata/en/c5/e161944f474ffa92ad477601ff5136/content.htm
CE can only be used as a content producer, not as a content consumer. Take a look at a previous post from me (Netweaver content producer / consumer) and at the PDF provided in this post:
"Note that a portal running on SAP NetWeaver CE can function as a producer portal only; hence, consumer
capabilities are not supported."
