A new application built on a schema not in the portal database

I want to create a new application using the create "new application" function of the "build" tab of Portal.
I want this application to use a schema not in the Portal Database. The schema the application has to use belongs to a different database residing on the same machine the Portal database resides.
But the Portal "Application Name and Schema" form does allow me to choose a schema outside the Oracle Portal database.
I run Oracle Portal Version: 3.0.7.6.2 on WNT.
Thank for any suggestion.

Maurizio
Carol's right. Create a schema in the local database then create a db link to the remote db connecting as that schema user (or some other of your choice). In my experience this has to be a public db link.
I run a portal application against a database on another sun box. There's some hassles, but it works ok mostly.
The db link connects as the user to the remote database and I grant privileges in the remote db to that db link user. I also have public synonyms in the portal database that point to the objects in the remote db. I have public synonyms in the remote database that sort out the schema of the objects required.
This sounds complicated and I've explained it in a rush, but if you sit down and work it through it's not so bad. You may find a better way, but after several trials I've got a setup that works.
Also, when I create a form I always refer only to the synonym - never to a schema.object. That way you can adjust the synonym easily without rewriting your report.
I always make reports from sql for the reason that you can change the sql, though I always refer to my synonym never to schema.object.
Session info doesn't travel well to the remote instance. I've had to build a work-around to get my table triggers in the remote instance to figure out who the portal user is because wwctx_api.get_user returns public.
I've been unable to directly call procedures in the remote database from portal components, but I've got around that by creating wrapper procedures in the local database.
It hasn't been a trivial exercise, but it does work.

Portal database dependency

Hi
I am trying to find the answer to the question, how much does the portal rely on its database for operation once the portal has started?
We are running the Portal database on a separate Oracle server and were wondering if there are scenarios where the portal would stop working because it could not get to its database?
Regards

The whole app server can be running other applications beside the portal. It would not be reasonable to shut it down.
A simpler question is what do you do when the application is actually down (for whatever reasons, normal or unexpected). In our case, We simply change the webserver to direct all requests to a maintenance HTML , in which case whether the Portal is up or down is irrelevant. In some case's you might need the Portal Up to diagnose issues (e.g, the DB is up but the portal cant connect to it ).
One last question - does the portal reconnect automatically when its database comes back up?Normally yes. But that assumes you have set up testing on the portal related pools. (basically if the DB is bounced the connection in the pool has become invalid and it depends on the settings whether the portal will test if the connection is valid before using it / after releasing it)..However I do know that in earlier versions we had to bounce the portal server as well because it still threw errors(but sometimes only) , you'd have to test it out.

Reconnect to portal database after database restart

Hi,
After having seen a 24/7 EP system in production for a while, there is one contributing factor which is causing more downtime than we would like (even though the downtime is very small).
When ever the portal database is restarted or we loose the network connection, the SAP J2EE (and hence EP) is not able to reconnect to the database (as you would expect from such a mature product). The forces us to take down the entire cluster (yes the cluster is big and takes a lot of time to restart) and then take it up again.
An OSS has been open (and been through development) and the verdict is that it cannot be done.
However, I don't believe them. Some of you SAP expert here must know of some very cleaver hack to get this working.
If you have any ideas or experience with this, please do not hesitate to post it.

Managed to find some undocumented command that did the trick.
1. Telnet to the administration console (port 50008 is standard ?)
2. Login as administrator
3. Run the lsc command in order to get the cluster id of an application node
4. Change the active node to an application node
>jump <clusterId>
5. Add the dbpool command set
>add dbpool
6. Close the database pool
>close_pool <poolname> -force
7. Open the database pool
>open_pool <poolname>
From the SAP J2EE administration console in the dbpool there seems to be a functionality for closing and opening the pool, but this doesn't work, at least not in PL21 (maybe it doesn't force the connections to close)

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,
Michal Zilcha-Lang

How to detect if Database is down when client application is running?

Hi,
I have a oracle Forms application accessing a remote database. While doing processing, application has to post some data in a remote database.
As of now, when the Forms client is running and remote database is down, the client hangs.
I have tried Creating a timer before remote database procedure call in the FORMS Trigger and checking in the when_timer_expired trigger, if a specific duration has passed or not. This doesn't work as timer fires only after the remote procedure call completes and other SQL statements in the FORMS trigger where i have created the timer completes.
I Know sqlcode -3113 can be of help.
Hope someone can help me with a solution/suggestion.
Thanks
Hari

interesting situation.
what about issuing the select count(*) into cnt from dual, if cnt>0 then do post.
better to setup the remote database has fail-over to another node.

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!!

There are loads of "+What if's+" - and in that respect, playing "+What if database is down..+" in this case does not make any sense. You do not use the database to monitor its own up/down status. You do not rely just on SMTP as notification protocol that the database is down.
The correct approach would be using something like SNMP as the monitoring protocol. A monitoring system that can process SNMP and perform some basic root cause analysis (e.g. network to the database server down, database server status unknown). And this system supporting notification methods like SMTP, SMS and so on.

One of the database is down in streaming environment

I have scenario where one of the database in (two different database) streaming environment is unavailable due to nework/link/database maintenance purpose. Since my other database is up and running and DML/DDL operations are in process how can I avoid following error
SQL> insert into test values ('eee', 'code e');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
commit
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02050: transaction 5.23.8870 rolled back, some remote DBs may be in-doubt
ORA-02068: following severe error from OTHER_DOWN_DATABASE
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
============================================
Can I change some parameters in DBMS_STREAMS_ADM Package or any other packages to avoid above situation

Thanks for the reply.
I am getting the same error even If I just do select on the table which I have for streaming
SQL> select * from test@dbtest;
select * from test@dbtest
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02068: following severe error from DBTEST ---destination database
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
Q- Wich database is down? Is it the source database or the destination database?
For now I am testing with keeping down destination database.
Q- If it's the source db, just stop the capture. That's all you really have to do.
A- This can be good for planned maintenance, but how about unplanned outage or sudden problem (with networks/links or all of a sudden I can not stream my data changes to destination database).
Q--The error you're describing is unclear.... Do you get that error immediately when you issue the insert and the commit? That sound very very strange to me because streams does asynchronous replication... You would not get such an error for db down from my opinion.
A-- First time, I got this error when I updated a row and then tried to commit while my destination database was down.
Q- It looks like the problem has nothing to do with streams but rather a distributed transaction problem (2pc)...
A- If it is transaction problem should I be getting similar error while selecting from destination table, see the above error

I have a script I use that works really well. It sends out an email only if the database is down and also reads an ini file to process a blackout period and a priority level of the database... High priority databases are monitored every 5 minutes and Medium priority databases every hour.

Check script:_
#!/bin/ksh
# check_oracle_status.sh
# Script to check if Oracle db's are up and running.
# Script is passed a priority field and reads check_oracle_status.ini
# to determine which db's to check. If db is down an email is sent.
# Priority Levels:
# H - Checks db's with "H"igh Priority every 5 minutes (cron)
# M - Checks db's with "M"edium Priority every hour (cron)
# L - db's with "L"ow Priority currently not checked

17 is blackout start (5 PM)

Note: Blackout is just a start hour and an end hour and must contain both or none and my script can only process one blackout per database. I guess if you
needed a second blackout you could add another line with different times for that sid
Cron entries:_
# Check Oracle Status
# The check_oracle_status.sh script monitors "H"igh priority databases every 5 minutes
# and "M"edium priority databases every hour

0 * * * * /opt/oracle/admin/scripts/check_oracle_status.sh M > /dev/null 2>&1
Not sure if you require blackouts or priority levels but this setup works great at our site.
Hope this helps.
