Portal Database Docs

Hi.
I'm searching for documentation about the portal database. Diagrams, fields, tables and views descriptions, anything. There's so many tables ans views...
Does somebody knows where I can find something like these ?
Thanks.
Donald

Donald -
The documented Content Management Views about where Portal stores pages and content in the Portal repository are documented here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/plsqldoc/pldoc1012/wwsbr_api_view.html
Hope this helps,

Unix Script to connect to Portal Database and move the files to XI Server

Hi all,
we have a requirement where the source BW system is placing files in Content Management in the link http://xxx:50100/irj/go/km/docs/documents/Public%20Documents/HFM.
XI needs to read the files from the above location.Since the files are stored in Portal database,we cant do FTP to this location.
So we have been asked to write a script which connect to this location and moves the files to XI directory.
Can someone plz help me with this script?

The concern has been discussed earlier at
here and should be helpful to check the database size and free available space in exchange server.
This blog has also good explained about "how to count mailbox per database in exchange 2010". Please check this :

I havent create new token values.
Edited by: C@rlitos on Sep 30, 2009 6:14 PMHave you configured your Infra with a new hostname on a different port ?
Unless, you had installed your OAS with custom ports, and have not used the default ports for the components, your lsnr_token for the newurl has a problem. orasso and sso should be configured at 7777, and by default they configure at that port. That means that your newURL should be pointing to http://newurl.com:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login for the ls_login_url.
This might have happened due to some error in registering your portal with the SSO. Have you used custom ports for your installations?
Additionally, did you configure your newurl on port 80?

How to access the portal database ?

Hi ,
1. How to access the portal database from an abstract portal component program ?
2. How to insert data to the Table from the abstract portal component program ?
Please provide me some direction to proceed .
plz send me the steps how to access the Database using SQL.
Thanks
Smita

Hi Smita,
In case your portal has MS SQL server as its databse, then I am giving the step by step directions to achieve 90% of what you wish to do. Rest 10% you can try on your own.
Go through my article given below:
[How to Create a Web Service using Enterprise JavaBeans|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/b00917dc-ead4-2910-3ebb-b0a63e49ef10]
First go through pages 1-12 which will help you to create user/table in MS SQL database as well as create a data source in Visual Admin. Page 19 will give you the code which you can use in your Portal component to access the tables you have created in your SQL database.
I hope your problem gets solved.

Portal Database -- What it is? Can we store data in Portal itself?

Hi Experts,
Can you please let me know what is portal database?
Can I store some information like Emp No and Tel No in Portal itself?
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav,
1.Portal Database holds the portal related data like iviews,worksets,pages, roles etc.
Refer to [How the Portal Works|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/42/BFA145731B1D64E10000000A1553F6/content.htm]
2. Emp No and Tel No are generally for the users, so it depends on how you configure your UME.

No data in Portal Database tables for Activity Report

Hi experts,
I've developed an Activity Report application in SAP Portal 7.0, which went live but the report shows no data.
We are pulling data from 2 portal database tables: WCR_WEBCONTENTSTAT and WCR_USERPAGEUSAGE
In non production environment there is data in the report but there is no data in the production environment.
The Activity Report service is already activated/started and set to true.
What could have caused this? And what should we check now?
What other configurations/setup should be done?
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,
Those are the aggregated tables. If they are not filled with data although the Portal Activity Report is activated, you should check whether the aggregation finished successfully.
In the older SPs there were some problems that were fixed in later SPs of 7.0.
In order to have the latest version of Portal Activity report, you can check SAP note 1084379 - Portal Activity Report - Latest Version (SDA file).
You can compare the SP via the MANIFAST file, as it contains the version and SP number.
In order to troubleshoot problems in Activity Report, you can follow SAP note: 1690023 - Portal Activity Report - Component-specific Note
Some basic checks that you can do:
Run query on the raw data tables to check since when there is data in those tables:
select min(timestamphour) from SAP<SystemID>DB.WCR_WEBCNODESTAT;
If there is too much data from long time ago, then you should delete the old data, and leave only the new data (there is anyways retention time for the data to be kept).
If there is no data, then it means that the Portal Activity Report does not collect data, and not really activated (usually this is not the case).
The aggregation runs every top of the hour, so you can check in the default traces for an error during that time.
In most of the cases something went wrong while aggregating the data.
As a result the aggregation is not finished, so the transaction is not being committed, and the aggregated tables stay empty.
If there is a DuplicateKeyException in the trace, you can follow SAP note 1054145 - Duplicate Key Exception.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
I hope this information helps,
Thanks & regards,

Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files. Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

How to copy/move Portal database from one machine to another?

I am receiving a ORA-22973 error (size of object identifier exceeds maxmum size allowed) on the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table when attempting to import my entire "portal30" schema from one database to another on different Windows NT Servers.
Background: I had Portal 3.0.9.8 installed, configured, and running with the following setup:
Machine 1: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2, Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8
Machine 2: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
We no longer have use of Machine 2 and needed to move the database over to Machine 1.
I performed the following steps:
1. Installed Oracle 8i database 8.1.7.0.0 on Machine 1.
2. Set up the tablespaces in the database on Machine 1 to match the same names and sizes of the tablespaces in the database on Machine 2.
3. Used the Oracle "exp" command to export the entire database that resided on Machine 2.
4. Copied the ".dmp" file to Machine 1.
5. Used the Oracle "imp" command to import the entire database on Machine 1.
6. The import completed successfully with warnings. But I had received the ORA-22973 error during the import process.
7. After it completed I compared the list of tables and packages in the "portal30" schema between the two databases. The wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table is missing.
8. I tried to export and import only the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table between the two databases, but continue to receive the ORA-22973 error.
Without the table being created, access to the portal cannot be achieved.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there anyway to create the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table without receiving the noted error?
2. Is there any other workable way to get the portal database from Machine 2 to Machine 1?
I am aware of the portal import/export utilities but that would require me to run through the 2 hour install of Portal 3.0.9.8 on the database on Machine 1 and then individually export and import all the portal components (security, pages, applications, content library, etc). I merely wanted to transfer the entire database from one machine to another, so I felt the Oracle exp/imp utilities would be quicker and less work.

Hi,
I've been hitting problems with Portal 3.0.9.8.1 against 8.1.7.2.1 on NT - i.e., Intermedia not working at all, and have been advised by support to move back to 8.1.7.1.1.
I don't want to lose any of my content in the Portal since the db upgrade and am wondering on what is the best way to do this.
The version of the Portal will be the same so I am hoping I can just use the Portal export and import utilities, as afterall, it is just data and the schema structures are the same between db versions. I'm also hoping that the Portal export doesn't use the standard Oracle EXP tool as it doesn't work anymore on 8.1.7.2.1 on NT!!
Regards,
John

Moving the Portal Database

I have attempted to move the portal database onto another host machine. When I move the database and point the portal at the database everything seems to work fine except for the administration area of the portal. When I try to navigate to the administration area I get an error. Can anyone help with a resolution for this?
Chris
error:
Server Error in '/portal' Application.
Runtime ErrorDescription: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine. Details:To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application.

I did it a few times succesfull and this is (my) procedure:
1. stop the SAP system
2. detach th DB on the Source server
3. copy db+log files to the Target server
4. attach the db on the Target server
5. repair login/db user account following the steps:
- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274188
OR
- http://blog3.daqureshi.com/archive/2008/12/16/11.aspx
6. update/change the file usr\sap\<sid>\sys\profile\default.prf
7. start the configtool and within the keystore change the jdbc connection parameters so that it points to the new DB Server
8. save this action!!!!
9. exit and restart the configtool and look if its connecting to the new DB Server
10. exit the confconfigtool.
11. start your SAP System
Good Luck!

Error: Could not read Metadata from Portal Database !

Hi All!
My problem is when i am trying to open the portal page (Oracle 10G)
http://domain/portal/page?_pageid=6,1,6_13&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
then i have an Error: Could not read Metadata from Portal Database.
And i do not know why because everything is up and running. I can connect and browse my database schema with portal user. I can connect to pls/orasso and where ever i want.
[07/Feb/2006:00:57:23 +0100] "GET /pls/portal/htp.p?cbuf=Test HTTP/1.1" 200 5
plz help i am trying to fix this in the last 2 weeks :)
thx kEndE

Hi Andreas,
I've changed the permissions to 775 and changed the ownership of /sapcd (volume name) to orasid:dba (including all files within the staging area /sapcd/ora-patch).
So the permissions and ownership seems to be fine.
I've also ran your suggested commands but the issue still exists.
I'm now liasing with our UNIX guy to check if there is any underlying permission issues on the volume (sapcd) that may be causing this problem.
In the mean time, let me know if you have any further thoughts.
Thanks,
Chris

Creating Custom Tables in the Portal Database

Is there a way to create custom tables in the portal database in EP6?
Thanks,
Melissa

Thanks for responding, Nick.
We want to be able to display informational messages on the logon page before the user logs in. Currently we make changes to several ASP files in EP5 to display the messages. We want to be able to give privileged users the ability to enter the message, enter start/end date, etc. We want to do this in EP6 as well.

Creating a ZTable in portal database

HI,
We have a case where we need to create some ZTable to strore some custom values. We can create this table in ECC and access it in Portal applications but it would be better if we can extend the same database of portal to accomodate few tables. How can we achieve this? Which is the best method to do this?
Regards,
Nirmal

Hi Nirmal,
Its always recommented not to directly access the Portal Database. The best practice would be to create a table in ECC and expose a BAPI for accessing this from Portal.

Vivek

Best Practices for data storage in portal database

Hi,
I need to store some stuctured data which is related to portal only. This data may grow data by data and may huge amount some point of time.
Iam thinking which is the best way to handle it like maintanance point of view.
i think i can store it in R/3 as custom table which is easy to maintain and read/write using RFC.
the other one is store it on the portal database (dictionary), may not be easy to handle it.
suggestions please?
Thanks.

Best way is to maintian data(growing data) on R3 and use JCA to write a simple portal application(JSPDynpage or WD) to get the data back on portal.
Using JCA, won't affect noticeable portal performance..
Itz not advisable to store large data on dictionary.
Regards,
N.
