Portal Import/Export Different OID Servers

We are trying to move our 9ias instances (portal) to another set of servers used for production with security. Both instances are associated with their
own OID/Infrastructures - they are not sharing the same infrastructure.
I reviewed Note:216572.1 Subject: Exporting/Importing in Oracle Portal 9.0.X, but it does not tell you the steps required to migrate the users/groups as well. I also looked at the Portal 9.0.2 Export/Import FAQ (http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/DEPLOY_PERFORM/EXPORT_IMPORT_FAQ_1120.HTM) , but neither tell you how to export the users. They only say to use the OID Tools. What tools?
Excerpt from FAQ:
How do I export/import objects (with security) between portals using different OID servers in 9.0.2?
A manual workaround is available:
1. Use OID utilities to migrate Users/Groups from source OID server to target OID server.
2. In Oracle9iAS Portl, migrate portal objects with "export security" enabled from source Portal to target Portal
3. (MANUAL) For the imported users, set the guid to null (WWSEC_PERSON$.GUID)
4. (MANUAL) For the imported groups, update the guid using the instructions found in the section below on how to update the GUID.
Please refer to th[i]Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

To migrate users, groups, and security within Portal, you must have a common OID environment. The difference between all OID implementations is the RootDSE, (the part that starts with dc=..,dc=..., etc.
You have to extract the user base and portal groups (and any other unique objects and attributes) from the old OID environment and and use the extraction to create an ldif file that will add these to the new OID environment. The ldif must have its own RootDSE for all distinguished names (dn) and common names (cn) in the ldif file.
We basically created our OID migration solution around a Java applet that prompts for the OID IP address, OID HOST NAME, OID ADMIN USER, and OID ADMIN PASSWORD. It access the new OID environment and extracts the RootDSE, then builds the ldif file for import of groups, objects, and attributes. Our user ldif will do pretty much the same, once we have the user list from our customer.
The more complex issue revolved around the migration of external applications, which I address in my EXT_APP package, which enables you to build portlets containing links to external apps, while maintaining portability, as well as Item Level Security. YOu can find this in my Knowledge Exchange folder.
Quite a mouth full...sorry

Portal Import/Export problems and questions

I recently tried to promote our dev stuff to the prod using both the exp/imp scripts (following the Imp/Exp whitepaper) and the built-in application export. The first time went without a hitch; however, after a few report updates in dev, I tried it again, and now I can't even get the Welcome page to appear. (Yes, I did import that page). The page finishes loading but nothing shows up on screen. I can login in to the change the DADs but nill to Portal. Any ideas how to even get in to see if the stuff imported?
Along those lines, after searching through these threads, and reading the documentation, I get the general feel that imp/exp are not at 100%. So what would be the procedure to do production promotions? Do I have to delete stuff (apps & pages) on the PROD server, and then import? If so what (apps?, security?, login server?) do I delete?
Rich

Thanks for the post Indira. Here are the answers to the questions.
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>What version of the Oracle Portal are you using?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I am using Oracle Portal version 3.0.6.3.3
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>Did you make any changes to the Welcome page when you imported it?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
No, I did not make any changes to the Welcome page when I imported it.
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>When you say that the page comes up blank, did you check the HTML source to see if there is anything in there?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yes, and there is something in there. Its the W3C tag and <HTML></HTML>. That's it. (more on this below)
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>What kind of portlets are in the page that you had imported?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I imported one application (with a combination of Reports, Forms, Dyn Pages, and LOV's), 7 pages with portlets based on all those components in tabbed interfaces on each page. For example, each page has 4 tabs with one portlet (running one of the reports) on each tab.
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>Are you able to get to the pages that you imported, through the Navigator. Can you edit/customize the page?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Well this is funny, since I couldn't get to anything, I thought I was a goner since I couldn't log in to get to the main page and fix all this, not to mention to see if the app imported at all. So, I went to my DEV box, found out what the page_id was for the out-of-the-box default page, typed it into the URL and I got the Login link. I logged in and I can see that the app imported. I can also see the pages, but with no portlets. When I try to add portlets, I get USER DEFINED ERRORS galore. So I have to recreate the pages from scratch (not a very good thing to be doing in PROD)
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>>Try creating another page in your new prod instance and making that your default home page. Please can you check if that is working.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
As I mentioned above, this is basically what I had to do. I did another promotion last night, and since the pages are what I thought the trouble was, I didn't import them. I just imported sso, sec, and the app. To my dismay, the same thing happened. I call portal home and I get a blank screen (empty HTML tags). So there I was, well into the night, creating pages in PROD so that we could have a site to show today.
Since someone else gave me the CD to install, I wasn't aware of the version I had and its bugs/issues. I have started the process of upgrading versions, but would like to get a solid idea of whats going with promotions before I do.
Thanks,

Portal Import/Export errors ORA-01653

When doing a security export after a few attempts we are getting the following error
ORA-01653: unable to extend table PORTAL30.WWUTL_SEC_TX_PERSON$ by 2362205 in tablespace PORTAL

This seems to be purely a database related issue. You need to extend the tablespace PORTAL to solve the problem. Please contact your DBA for this.

Oracle portal use in different application servers

Instead of Oracle 9iAS, can Oracle Portal run on other Application Server?

Hello,
When you using JDBC resource in a J2EE container you should use a DataSource that will be an abstraction layer to your code.
Are you doing that?
This will simplify the integration to the development, test and production machines.
You can take look the the data source how-to on OTN.

Import/ export of an object or item in portal 10g

Good Morning!

can anyone tell what is the format of import / export of an object or item in portal 10g?
 this is in the context of updating or rolling into production server an item whose earlier version might be sitting in the production server before. and it is based on the premise that the environment/ system is composed of more than one servers and production is only one of them.
 apologies ... if i am not even phrasing the question right. by format, what i mean to know is does it first delete the older component and then generate the new one or it renegades and keeps the older version and bring on the newer version, or what.

any hints will be appreciated.

Kasia,
There are a number of guides on the documentation tab for Oracle9iAS Portal that can answer your questions. Be sure to check out the FAQ!

Import/Export Portal Content between EP6 6.20 and 6.40

Hi there,
We are about to setup a second portal in Europe on 6.40, while the US portal will still be a EP6 SP2 on 6.20 for some time.
I was wondering about the possibilities to share portal content between those 2 installations, especially iViews and pages (not using remote iViews). As long as the name of the related PAR files (code link) are the same, this should work.
On the other hand, iViews and pages will have a different set of parameters like "Allow Client-Side Caching" or "Use API of Tray" based on different portal versions. What will happend when importing/exporting these objects from 6.20 to 6.40 or the other way around?
Thanks,
Florian

Ivo, thank you for your reply.
But I think mapping ports doesn't solve our problem.
WAS 6.20:
Just the context path will be send in the header field 'location' to the browser (located in the internet).
In case of a redirect the browser mixes the server name of the sender (the reverse proxy) and the context path and sends the request to the reverse proxy. The reverse proxy forwards the request to the WAS 6.20 intranet server.
WAS 6.40:
The header field 'location' contains now the whole URL (with the server name of the WAS 6.40 system, which is only accessible from our intranet).
In case of a redirect the browser takes the content of the header field 'location' and sends the request to the not accessible WAS 6.40 intranet server. Of course that doesn't work.
So it it depends on the content of the header field 'location'.
What can we do in WAS 6.40, so that the header field 'location' contains only the context path as it has done in WAS 6.20?
Regards,
Uwe

Export and Import with different environments

Gurus,
Thanks for spending your time to read this thread. I have a table with say 100 rows in development area. I need only 10 rows to be moved to Quality. For example, user/pwd@D1 is the user login detail during export.
user/pwd@F1 should be the login for Import.
Is that possible?
Here D1 and F1 are tow different Oracle databases altogether. The table definitions in both the databases are same. And for your information, the schema names are same in bothe the dabatases (user).
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

Import/Export Job in management portal.

I am trying to create an Import/Export job in portal, I read this document:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-import-export-service/
and I am unable to do this, document says download import/export tool, but I am unable to do that any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I would request you to check if you meet all these prerequisites:
• You must have an active Azure subscription.
• Your subscription must include a storage account with enough available space to store the files you are going to import.
• You need at least one of the account keys for the storage account.
• You need a computer (the "copy machine") with Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, or a newer Windows operating system installed.
• The .NET Framework 4 must be installed on the copy machine.
• BitLocker must be enabled on the copy machine.
• You will need one or more empty 3.5-inch SATA hard drives connected to the copy machine.
• The files you plan to import must be accessible from the copy machine, whether they are on a network share or a local hard drive.

Work around portal's export/import problem

Hello.
Here in Spain we have tried Oracle Portal's import/export several times with no success (our last attempt ended in Metalink cases 1911182.996, 1911205.996, 2132048.22, 2132045.22, 2132043.22, 2132049.22, 1870233.995 and 2132042.22) . Maybe part of the problem is that our content areas are in Spanish. Anyway, we have given up on that import/export. Right now what we are doing is moving the control and data files whenever we HAVE to take our portal to another machine. We are looking for another way of doing it. This is what we are trying to do now:
DESTINATION DB
==============
* start with a portal installed here
* create the script that will later enable the constraints of schemas PORTAL30_DEMO, PORTAL30_SSO_PS, PORTAL30, PORTAL30_SSO
* disable the constraint of schemas PORTAL30_DEMO, PORTAL30_SSO_PS,PORTAL30,PORTAL30_SSO
* truncate all tables in these schemas (except WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIN_INFO$ in portal30 and portal30_sso)
* drop sequences
* import these schemas' tables and sequences from the origin DB
* enable the constraints
* if necessary run the ssodatan
Has anybody done it already? With what results? How are you importing/exporting a portal right now?
If this doesn't work (we believe it will) we will look at portable (?) tablespaces.
Thank you, Mere.

Has anyone followed this migration while paper?
As far as I can tell, it takes nothing from the portal30 schema. Not sure how the applications will get set up without importing some of this data

Omniportlet import/export

Hi,
I am using Omniportlet to define a variety of portlets from different data sources.
Now, I want to import/export these definitons so that i can replicate the same portlet instances on multiple application servers/deployments.
This is a real-world scenario as we want to deploy these portlets in our portal product and we want reuse the omniportlet definitions on each product that we manufacture.
Is there a way to do it and if yes, how?
Thanks,
Anil

Please check the following setting which lets you enable/disable exporting Omniportlets
To enable or disable the migration of OmniPortlet and Web Clipping providers, edit the following variable in the MID_TIER_ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\OC4J_Portal\applications\portal\portal\WEB-INF\web.xml file:
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>oracle/portal/provider/global/transportEnabled</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>true</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
Set the value to false to disable export and import of OmniPortlet and Web Clipping providers.

Regarding Workflow 2.6.2 backup/migration/import/export

hi folks. i m quite amazed that this forum does not provide any answer to the question of taking backup of workflow 2.6.2 or import/export of owf_mgr schema. if one cannot take backup how this oracle workflow is stable. how this product is suitable for any organization. its a very basic requirement. ok its about processes and states.... but, even then i cant get the logic of not taking a backup. sometime we have to move data across servers
the only answer that i have seen for this is way back jan-09-2003 that its not possible yet. its now 2006 any one who can guide may be i got something or many a things wrong.

hi folks,
thanks for reply
Matt: considering ur statment para what i get for para 1
Full backup is fine - although there are some objects which are owned by SYS, as long as youare going from one database with WF installed to another one, you should be OK.
is
what i understand that u are talking about taking backup of entire database and not of just owf_mgr from export utility. if this is the case then do i really need to have owf_mgr user/schema installed where i have to import that backup
Secondly for Para 2
Runtime data is a different thing altogether, although I can't really see why you would want to migrate the runtime data from one DB to another.
what i get from ur description of Runtime data here, is about the data that represents different process states relavant data which is stored and maintained in different tables. Am I Right?
if the answer is yes then the answer to ur question (asked in the last line of ur statment) is that i dont want only runtime data to be exported rather i wanna export full user and its schema. and the reason from moving it from one server to another server is simply to have backup for the time of system crash or failiure
I am keenly anticipating ur reply
