Portal database user volume

Hi, What is the max number of users in an Oracle Portal database?
I'm project leading content areas to publish and thus wondering if OP database is unlimited or not.
Thanks / Ben

there is no artificial limit to the numbers of users you can register with OracleAS Portal
Users are registered and stored in the OID (identity management) area of the product. OID product management would be able to offer you references for large OID installations that run to millions of registered users should you need them.
there is no artificial limit to any of the areas of the product, the things that will limit you are the physical capabilities of the boxes you deploy on.

Retriving user details from user rofile in portal database

HI all,
any one knows how to retrive user details from user rpofile in portal database. I am using webdynpro appliction.Please reply.
Thank you
Maruthi

Hi maruti Rao ,
All Gives U gud Idea..here i give u some brief procedure.First of all u need to add 2 jar file in ur project structure for proper working of "com.sap.security.api.IUser" Interface. After that for retriving Users data Stored on LDAP Server.
If you are using an LDAP directory as a data source for your user-related data, the logical attribute names used by the Java application programming interface (API) of SAP User Management Engine (UME) must be mapped to the physical attribute names used in the schema of your corporate LDAP directory.
Example Data-Source File is as Below From Where U can Get All The Information of Logged user...
<dataSources>
<dataSource id="CORP_LDAP"
 className="com.sap.security.core.persistence.datasource.imp.LDAPPersistence"
 isReadonly="false"

Minimum seeded database users for portal

We would like to obtain the usernames of the minimum number of database
users that can be used for the portal to function.
In addition to the portal schema, we will be having a custom
schema in our database. So we would like to determine what
is the minimum number of database users that are needed for the system.
These would be:
1. Seeded users that come with the portal database
(Is there a list of minimum database users that we can obtain from some
documentation that are needed - are all the seeded users absolutely required,
or can some of them be deleted? )
2. The user for the custom schema. (this would be the only additional
user to the seeded users provided).
Thanks,
Suzanne

Suzanne,
Please refer to the Portal Configuration Guide.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

How to enable create user option in portal under user administration?

Hi,
In Portal, in user administration tab, always the create user and Copy to New user option is disabled, how can i enable those?
-Siva

If the AS ABAP is your datasource for your users there is NO WAY you can create users in the portal UME.
● If the UME has read-only access, you cannot modify user attributes stored in the ABAP system, like first name and last name. You can modify attributes stored in the UME database, like street. Even if read-only access is assigned, users can still change their own passwords.
● If the UME has read-write access, you can create users using the tools of the J2EE Engine. Users created in this way are stored as users in the ABAP system. Extended user data that cannot be stored in the standard ABAP user record is stored in the database of the UME.
in the read/write access the users are created only in the ABAP side and not the java. If you have the read access you cannot create users in the abap side. hence you need the SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION role to create users in the AS ABAP.....
Trust me .......bottomline ....you cannot create users in the JAVA UME if you have AS ABAP as your datasource !!!!
hope this helps..

Portal Database

How do I move my production users (stored in the portal database using a RDBMS realm) to QA and Dev. I can't simply do a database refresh due to the desktop stuff.

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.

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
Edited by: Smita Mohanty on Nov 14, 2008 9:21 AM

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.
Bye

Error connecting to portal database using alias

i am using Connector framework api to connect to portal database.
in visual administrator -> JDBC connector. I click on runtime tab
Under Resources i find Data Sources and Drivers.
Under Data sources I see SAPSR3DB. In Main tab on right hand pane I find many other aliases called SAP/BC_UME and SAP/BC_WDDR etc. Which one do I use in creating a connection.
IConnectorGatewayService cgService = (IConnectorGatewayService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService("com.sap.portal.ivs.connectorservice.connector");
ConnectionProperties cp = new ConnectionProperties(request.getLocale(),request.getUser());
IConnection connection = cgService.getConnection("SAPSR3DB",cp);
No system found for alias SAPSR3DB.

Hi,
If you want to use the PortalService IConnectorGatewayService you will have to create a JDBC System in the System Landscape of the Portal and create a System Alias with usermapping.
You can then create a c connection to this JDBC System with the IConnectorGatewayServcie using the specified System alias.
But if you want to directly connect to the System Database you can also use OpenSQL in your Portalapplication and lookup the Connection using JNDI:
 InitialContext ctx= new InitialContext();
 ds= (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/SAPSR3DB");
 java.sql.Connection conn= ds.getConnection();
// user your connection here and close all jdbc objects finally!
Best regards,
Stefan Brauneis

Deleting portal DB users in EP6 SR1

Hi
When we try deleting database users under User Administration->Users(a few users have the same userids in portal DB and MS-ADS) in the portal we get a User Management Exception. (We get the same exception with user administration using http://<server:port>/useradmin).
When we go back to Search under Detailed Navigation in the portal we get the following error message:
"The iView has timed out. There is no cached content to display.Click 'Reload' to retrieve updated content. You may need to wait for the cache to retrieve the content from the source. Reload".
I tried setting the property but it didnt work.
Any idea these issues fixed with SP Stack 10?
Thanks in advance
Premal

Hey Premal,
You can try deleting the users from the admin tool -> server -> services -> UM Provider.

Natti Nachmias.

OIM 9.1.0 with Database User Management: Connector Exception upon Connect

Hi,
I've been struggling with the Database User Management connector (9.0.4) with Sybase, following the steps word-for-word as per the documentation (Oracle® Identity Manager Connector Guide for Database User Manage Release 9.0.4; E10425-0; July 2009).
When defining the IT Resource through the Install Connector wizard, I get the following when it does a connection test:
14:51:52,795 ERROR [WEBAPP] Class/Method: CreateITResourceAction/testConnectivityForDataBase/ClassNotFoundException encounter some problems: No ClassLoaders found for: com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver
even though I've ensured jconn2.jar is in the ThirdParty directory, reflushed the cache, and restarted OIM; the connector still can't seem to load the driver.
I've tried the database testing script with similar results.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Simon
PS: I believe v5.5 of JConnect (as required by the OIM Connector) has been EOL'd and Sybase. They recommend you use v6.0 (v6 is jconn3.jar)), which from what I can see should work as com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver; I tried that as well but had the same ClassNotFoundException.

I've fixed it; needed to copy jconn2.jar into the $JBOSS_HOME/lib directory and restart the server.
