Portal 902 displaying Forms6i as a portlet

We have a Forms6i application that we would like to access via a Portal 9.0.2 page. The Forms6i application is published using the Forms Listener Servlet (patch 9).
We have a requirement that the user will not be able to see the URL to the Forms6i server. This will force the user to use the Portal login and not directly connect to external applications.
Ideally, I would like to have the Forms6i application appear in a portlet on a portal page. I have tried to set up a URL Provider to access the forms application. I can not get this method of accessing the forms application working.
Are there any other methods of accessing a Forms6i application that will not display the URL link to the Forms6i server?
I have tried using the External Application interface. This creates a new window that displays the URL to the forms server.

Hi Michael,
You can display your HttpServlet as a portlet using URLServices. If you are not aware of URLServices, URLServices helps JPDK Users in creating url-based portlets in any language without altering the server-side code !!
Hence, you can write your servlet the way you want and point the url of it in the provider.xml file for URLServices.
You can download the latest version of urlservices from http://portalstudio.oracle.com
Thanks,

Portal 902: How to setup large scale navigation ?

hello,
I'm just starting to work with Portal 902. The new concept of page groups and pages is still not clear to me. I want to design a site with a banner on the top and 7 tabs. 4 of the tabs should have a specific vertical navbar on the left side and a content region on the right side. The content region should allow for navigation to sub levels where the sublevel in rendered in place. This type of interface is very common.
In Portal 309 it was possible to define tabs, create a navbar portlet on the left and a folder portlet on the right side. While navigating in the folder portlet, the subfolder was rendered in place.
How should I design this interface in Portal 902 ? I don't want to define the tabs on each subpage again. The number of subpage can become very huge, and therefore it should be easy for users to create them.
Can someone explain how to implement this type navigation, and how the old and new concept can be compared ?
regards,
Willem-Pieter van der Lugt

willem,
i've a question for u ...
u mentioned in portal 309 u did the following -
create 22 regions in a page, the left region will contain nav bar portlet and the right region will have folder portlet and as the user navigates thru the nav bar in the left region the folder renders in the right region in folder portlet ? is that correct ...? if so, how do u do this ... cause, i could not find any way of rendering the folder in the right region ... when it is clicked in the nav bar portlet in the left region.
how do u do this in 309.
what i did was create a custom HTML nav bar in the left region and create a IFRAM in the right region. when a user clicks a link in the left region, i render it in IFRAME using the target property of IFRAME. this is lot of work and maintenance is pain ... if there is a way to do this in a simpler way, pls let me know.
thanx a bunch

Display image in JSP Portlet

I create a JSP portlet. But The portlet can't display image(gif file, jpg file). I have modified the provider.xml and the following line is added:
<imageURL>URL_Path</imageURL>
But, the image still cannot be displayed.
How can I display image in JSP portlet?

Leo Cheung,
You could try the following :
1. Add a virtual directory path Alias 'imgf' in the Apache configuration file httpd.conf to load the image file. Add the following line under the alias section :
Alias /imgf/ "<your directory>\images/"
2. Place your gif/jpg files (eg., work.gif) in the images directory.
3. Use the IMG tag of HTML :
<IMG src="/imgf/work.gif" border=0 width=80 height=80> in the JSP file at the location where you need to display the image.
Hope this helps

Filter output data according to portal current user name in omni portlet

We have created an omniportlet that connects to a database, and retrives some values into a defined HTML layout.
We want to filter output data according to our portal current user name
When we try to use portal.wwctx_api.get_user inside of omni portlet select statement fallowing error occurs.
Error in executing Query : [ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1803 ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1637 ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_SSO", line 1865 ORA-06512: at "PORTAL.WWCTX_API", line 183 ]
Thanks a lot

hello
i think you cannot use the portal built-in packages inside omni portlets. Omni portlets is designed to connect to other data source (not only oracle) and Portal API might not be available at these data sources. Therefore, you should not be using these Packages at all!. i tried very hard, but to no avail.. Omni portlet has its own repository!! if you cannot pass the infomration as a parameter, then find a different approach

Oracle Portal 11 and WSRP 2.0 portlets

Hello.
I have found Oracle Portal 11g can't consume WSRP 2.0 portlets.
I create and deploy ADF Faces Portlet into Weblogic Server
as shown in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/portal.1111/e10238/pdg_java_intro.htm#CHDFDDBG.
I register WSRP 1.0 producer using Jdeveloper 11g. Then I register that producer using Portal 11g. When I add portlet from the
producer into portal page it's possible to view the portlet.
But when I register WSRP 2.0 producer in JDeveloper 11g and then register that producer in Portal 11g, and then add same portlet
into portal page it's impossible to view the portlet.
Tell me please. Can Oracle Portal 11g consume WSRP 2.0 portlets or not?
Many thanks, Andrew

Portal 902 and VPD

Hi,
Portal 902 is supposed to be integrated with VPD. Is there any documentation on this integration? I have looked all over Technet and also the Portal online documentation, and cannot find anything, except for some stuff in Metalink on VPD in 309. Any clues anyone?
Regards,
Steve West

The integration refers to the ability to DB users to Portal users. See the following note for implementation details for Portal and VPD. R2 should be no different.

Displaying BI Beans as Portlets

I have been using Oracle's BI Beans tutorials and samples, I
have successfully run and installed the majority of the samples,
but I am having difficulty with the Portal versions.
It appears the portlets are rendered using CABO, when I try to
run the portlets I get a the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
oracle/cabo/ui/collection/DataObjectListNodeList
I cannot find this class anywhere on the server, nor in any
jar/zip files. Does anyone know where to find this class, or if
it has been deprecated?

Displaying external page as portlet

How do I display an external page like 'http://www.wsj.com" as a opened page in a portlet as opposed to a link?

You have 3 choices for doing this:
1) You can use the dump URL portlet that comes with the PDK.
2) If you want to show only part of a page (ie. get rid of advertisements and misc. other junk) you could build a PL/SQL portlet using UTL_HTTP to call the page, parse out the good stuff and display it as a portlet.
3) If you are know your user population and know that they are using IE or newer versions of Netscape, you can make an HTML portlet, and add the URL as part of an Iframe, for example:
<IFRAME src="http://www.yahoo.com" height=500 width=500></IFRAME>

How do I get the Avitek Sample Portal to display in EBCC??

I have just installed the Avitek Example and everything works fine. I would like
to add some of my own porlets to the example but I dont know how to include all
the Avitek Files so that I can view it in the EBCC. It makes things so much easier
to add and place portlets in different location using EBCC.
The Sample Portal that originally comes with the installation is already installed
in the bea\ebcc4.0 directory and I can view all portlets, portals etc on it.
If anyone can help this is pretty urgent.
Thanks
Johnny

Sorry, Airmail. This didn't address the issue of not showing the first few lines of the highlighted message that disappeared. F8 DOES toggle the list of messages in the top half from longer to half pane but it doesn't show list of messages in top and the first few lines of the message highlighted in the top down on the bottom of the pane. The View menu in, v 31.2.0 anyway, doesn't offer a layout of message option. I went through menu options again and didn't find anything else that would offer this option.
Oddly enough, the page displays normally in the Sent, Saved & Draft mail so evidently this only affected the Inbox. The search continues....

How to Display PHP Output as Portlet in HTML Region using utl_http.request

I wanted to be able to parse PHP functions to add more functionality to my Page. nothing fantasy, something simple like: http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/phpsysinfo-dev/?template=classic
Where the realtime values are retrieved from the OS. this represent some kind of problem to me, I know how to do it from Shell Script, Perl or PHP, but not from PL/SQL.
Based on my experience using Oracle Portal, Portlets, I think we really can make use of the feature used in Portal called Web Clipping. [ This feature basically goes to some Site a retrieve part of the site to show in the current page]. Well the PL/SQL utility utl_http.request does something similar.
Make sure your request page does not retrieve some headers because that would cause a problem in your page and will not show up.
This is what I did:
 1.- Grant Privileges to execute [ utl_http.request ] to the owner of your schema.
login into the OracleXE / APEX as SYS then go to the Object Navigator, then click on packages, find the utl_http.request then click on it, later click on grant and select your schema owner for your applicaion.
 2.- Logout as SYS then login as your application schema user. just to test the functionality go to the sql command then enter the following command and then click run:
 select substr(utl_http.request('http://www.oracle.com/'),1, 255) from dual; 
If your output is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Oracle 10g, Siebel, PeopleSoft | Oracle, The World's Largest Enterprise Software Company</title> <meta name="title" content="Enterprise Applications | Database | Fusio
 Wow It worked , this really could be useful !!, If not go back to step 1 and check your permissions to execute, or perhaps your Internet connectivity.
3.- Once we know the package works and we can retrieve content from the Internet. lets go to some of our pages add some HTML Region.
4.- Create an item and put into the new region. the source will be SQL, For the purposes of my test the query to the Oracle Page failed, so I decided to give a shot with a simple PHP script with no headers.
The internal server is: http://mytest.com/hello_world.php
Where the content of the hello_world.php is:
<?
echo '" Hello World ";
?>
This PHP works fine and display the basic Hello World. can be the same server or not, also noticed this can be another port perhaps using something like Ruby,Mason or Java.
 5.- Finally in my Item the source type is SQL and looks like this:
 select substr(utl_http.request('http://mytest.com/hello_world.php'),1, 255) from dual; 
Apply the changes and run the page !!!
Excelent It worked as expected. now you know how use utl_http.request to create webclipping in your OracleXE / APEX from remote pages, or how to use it to parse the output from CGI, Perl, PHP, Ruby or Java pages.
Note: [ Just make sure to strip the headers or parse into a PL/SQL Procedure to clean then show ]

Sorry, from your post in the LabVIEW board I did not understand that it was the Output message that you were looking for.
I thought you wanted the results from your test steps displayed on the user interface.
It is the “Output Panel” in the sequence editor that displays your output message, but I do not know if there is default Output panel activeX indicator for user interface that the TestStand engine would update automatically like it does the execution view.
Maybe someone else knows
As also pointed out, the UI messages is your other option.
The Output Message event number is 40
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3879
UIMsg_OutputMessages–(Value: 40) TestStand sends this message at periodic intervals when it holds references to output messages that calls to the OutputMessage.Post method queue. TestStand transfers the queued messages to an OutputMessages collection attached to the UIMessage.ActiveXData property for this event. An application that processes output messages should copy the output message references from the collection in UIMessage.ActiveXData to its own private OutputMessages collection by passing its private collection to the OutputMessages.CopyMessagesToCollection method. An application calls the Engine.NewOutputMessages method to create a private OutputMessage collection. TestStand generates this event only if the Engine.OutputMessagesEnabled property is True. Because there can be more than one handler for this event, the application should not modify the OutputMessages collection the UIMessage.ActiveXData property holds.

Display header of HTML Portlet

OS: Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP1
Portal: 3.0.9
I create a new page, and add a HTML portlet to it. Then I edit the page (via 'edit page') and choose not to display the HTML portlet header. This works perfectly.
But how can I show the header again? There is no customize link available anymore, and via 'customize' of the page I see that the header is already displayed.
Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks in advance!
Joey

The best way to do this is to simply use the "Edit Defaults" link for your given HTML Portlet (this is displayed when you edit or customize the portal page in question.) In the "Edit Defaults" customization screen for the HTML portlet you can either enable or disable the display of the portlet header for your HTML portlet.
You'll always be able to access the "Edit Defaults" link for your HTML portlet from the edit or customize screens for the portal page.
Best Regards,
Harry

PORTAL TABS DISPLAYING INCORRECT INFORMATION

Good morning
One of my colleagues playes around with some custom settings in
the portal environment. My Content Area details now appears
under the Applications tab and I cannot find my applications!
The only way I can get to my applications is by selecting it on
the home page and navigating to it. Could someone please tell
me what my colleague did wrong in order that I can rectify it.
Thanks

The Navigator page is just a portal page. The Pages, Content
Areas, Applications, and Database tabs contain portlets that
display the respective information.
Just edit the page and select the correct portlet from the
Portlet Repository. I don't know how your Portlet Repository
has been organized, but if you have trouble finding these
portlets just display the Portlet Repository (from the default
Portal home page, under the Administer tab) and search
for "Navigator".

Jerry

Portal domain under SunOS render a portlet 2 times without reason?

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy my portal and portlet on a server running under SunOS but what I got there was that my portlet is rendered twice in the portal. It runs perfectly under Windows where it was developed and on another one for test only, but the same ear file deployed on SunOS gives that "strange" defect.
When I took a look at the source of the page displayed in the browser I noticed that the same page could be found two times and which is more, the JavaScript at the begining of the page could be seen at four places, 2 for every page. So at the end the html looks like: 
<%-- portal tags --%> 
<%-- header page --%> 
<%-- my page starts here --%> 

<%-- the java script in my page --%> 
<%-- the java script in my page --%> 
<%-- the page itself --%> 
<%-- the java script in my page --%> 
<%-- the java script in my page --%> 
<%-- the page itself --%> 

<%-- portal footer --%> 
Any ideas why is that. Under Windows everything is just fine, no such duplicates.

The problem is adressed by Oracle Patch 4640471, but we have yet to determine if it really resolves the problem without any unwanted side-effects.

Can I choose to display or not a Portlet using an if satement ?

Can anybody help me with this situation:
we want a portlet to be displayed only if the result of an "if statement" is false,
else we do NOT want the portlet to appear on the page (the portlet is a Portal Form)
We've put the if statement on an html portlet
but we don4t know how to "call the form/portlet" if the if statment is false
What we are trying to do is have this form displayed on a given page,
when a user completes the form a cookie is written.
When the user accesses this page again, if he has the cookie, the form should not be displayed, instead he should see a notice saying "you've already completed the form"
Can this be done?
thanks,
Marcela

You will need a sim to activate the iPhone before you can use it as an iPod.
The sim does not need to be associated with an active account; if hte iPhone
is locked to a wireless provider, the sim must be from that provider.
You cannot use the iPhone without first activating it and you must use a sim to
activate the iPhone.

About portal 902 problem?

i use 9i as 902 portal,
1.when i want create new users,have a error message:"LDAP: error code53".what is going on?how do i do?
2.i add portlet provider occurred two error:wwc-43134,wwc-43000.is it a bug?where this patch?
please help me!thanks.

The difference is likely to be due to OpenMP implementation in gcc. You should be able to use Analyzer to see why it happens. Timeline view and event callstacks may be helpful in that regard.
I compiled and ran the test with gcc 4.4.1 and although the two sections were not perfectly balanced the difference was much smaller.
