Portal Integration of an existing Web Application

Dear all,
we are preparing for the pbnw certification. Our way is to deploy our existing web application on the J2EE engine and make it accessible via the portal, i.e. where are taking the certification scenarios J2EE-DEP and BP-EP.
Up to now, my idea is to integrate the web surface of our application into the portal as far as this is possible without too much effort. Alternatively it would be possible to access our application via an URL-iView however to my feeling this is not a real integration. Did I get things right assuming that would meet the requirements for pbnw certification?
I read that it is necessary to follow the portal's look and feel by applying SAP's CSS. Does anyone know where to obtain these? And what is the easiest way to replace the currently used stylesheets by them?
Millions of questions...
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Angela Grüner.

Dear Angela
Please have a look at the following Weblog link which gives a detailed description of the method to create a URL iView using Application Integrator:
/people/markus.pfeffer/blog/2005/12/14/integrating-your-web-front-ends-into-the-sap-enterprise-portal-using-the-application-integrator
If you adopt this method to create the URL iView, then it meets the requirement for EP-BP Certification.
The blog also includes an example of HTML code with applied SAP CSS. Please go through this section to implement EP look and feel.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Atima

Can I run existing web application on portal 4.0?

Hi,
I have existing web application running on tomcat server. Can I move it to portal
server ? If yes, what do I need to do?
Thanks in advance,
Meghana

You sure can. WLP4 requires WLS6.x (check the download site for correct
version). You can deploy your web app using the WLS console.

Creating a offline version of an existing Web application

Hi,
I'm working on converting a small portion of an existing web application into offline version (using Webtogo platform and Oracle Lite 9i) . The Web application is developed using active server pages and Oracle 9i is used as backend. The offline version will be developed using Java Servlets and JSP's.
To give a small background, the existing system is used by the salesman to capture lead and contact informations. This system also provides the salesman with their customer details and sales history.
I would need some more details on DB triggers and stored procedure.
1. How to create DB triggers in Oracle Lite 9i.
2. My application has many triggers associated with a table. Do i need to created all of them in my offline version?
I don't need these in my offline version. But, if i don't include all the triggers, i get error while publishing an application.
Pls post you reponse.

Deepak

I have used the "duplicate the whole project" route with one variation, to moderate success. I use DollyXs to create the CS4 project and then copy the source files, one by one, to the new project/directory. After creating the project and before I move the source, I compile/link the project just to make sure I have everything pointing at the right place.
I know that some will scoff at my duplication of the codebase and sometimes I agreed with them, but we had one individual who tried to use the same codebase for all versions of InDesign, and whereas it took one of us a couple of days to make a simple change to all six different projects (Mac and Win) it took him three weeks to a month.
In the end you will have to decide for yourself.

Using APEX as SSO redirect for existing web application

Hi,
I have an existing PHP based Web Application hosted on an Apache server. I want to protect these web pages by authenticating users via Oracle SSO.
I tested this by creating a simple APEX web page with redirect <Meta> tag to route traffic to my application upon successful SSO login. This works fine if request comes directly to APEX page....
So my question is how do I protect php pages from being directly accessed and still be able to get sso user login information (like username) coming from APEX page?
Do I still need to set up mod_sso.so in osso.conf for my Apache Server or should I just register my php web application as partner application with SSO server without going through APEX?
Any advice on this is greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
james

Tony,
Sorry for taking so long to respond as I got side tracked with other tasks.
Thank you so much for the link. The provided link is very helpful.
One difference in my situation is that I am using a generic Apache installation (version 2.2.11) and not Oracle Apache Server from OAS.
So I copied mod_osso.so from OAS 10.1.3.1.0 installation to my generic Apache location. As I tried to startup Apache instance I got following error while loading mod_osso.so.
... Cannot load /apache-2.2.11/modules/mod_osso.so into server: /apache-2.2.11/modules/mod_osso.so: undefined symbol: ap_configtestonly
I did some search and found that other folks are reporting success of using mod_osso.so on generic Apache (without saying which version of Apache). I wonder if mod_osso.so can only work with older version of Apache?
Do you have insights on this by any chance?
Thanks again,
James

Portal Port to Publish in Portal via Query Designer and Web Application

Hello Gurus,
Recently we change the port from 50000 to 80 to do federated portal connection more transparent.

The question is:
Where I change the port used for BEx Web Applications to execute the web templates or the BEx Web querys?

How to create reports from my existing web application on Java/J2EE with Oracle Client 10g as the backend?? Help sought for

Our company has developed an Web Application and we are also looking out for the development of reports using Business Objects Exterprise XI Release 2 and for this purporse I do require some help from the forum who can literally show me how to get on and working on creating the reports.

Thats why I thought I should make the following chain in the keystore, possibly in this order.
1. My private key (simply generated in the server)
2. Import Root certificates from NS
3. Import Trusted certificate issued by NS
Then when I sign with my private key surely an association will be formed to the trusted authority certificate. The problem I'm having is when I first made my private key I used openSSL as it was only intended for HTTPS. Now I need to create a keystore so I can use jarsigner to sign the jar file, and I can't see how to create a keystore using my existing private key. Surely if I created a new key and self sign, then import the trusted certificate the association will fail, as the private key will not be the same 1 that I used to make the CSR when applying for the trusted certificate.

BC E-commerce integrated with Subscription Based Web Application

I am considering using BC for my company's corporate website as well as the online store. We sell a subscription based web application which will have 3 or more flavors (products) and will need to bill customers on a recurring monthly or annual basis.
For the monthly subscriptions, we want to bill the customer based on the "highwater" mark with regards to user quantity for that given month. This gives the users the flexibility to add/remove users freely without the fuss of having to contact a sales representative to adjust their account/recurring order.
I would imagine this would happen one of two ways:
The user signs up creating their account both in our web application and the ecommerce site and is billed for the first time. In the ensuing months, either: the e-commerce site communicates with our web application to get the high water mark quantity for that billing cycle or
Our web application sends a new order each month to the e-commerce site, including the highwater mark quantity, giving the illusion to the user that it is indeed a recurring order but behind the scenes they are actually individual orders.
Annual subscription customers are a bit more challenging. We still want the users to have the flexibility to add/remove users with minimal effort. However, since they are being billed on an annual basis, prorating additional users will be necessary. So if customer who previously purchased 5 licenses, adds 5 more licenses during month 6 of their annual subscription term, we would need the e-commerce solution to bill them once immediately for the 50% prorated 5 licenses, then bill them 6 month's later for the total 10 license subscription renewal.
At a bit of higher level, we would prefer the customer to manage all their billing/account info within our web application rather than going to an external store to do so.
One other caveat, we would prefer not to store credit card info on our site. Preferably that would be stored in our payment gateway (Auth.net). This may or may not affect the workflows described above.
My Questions:
Can the BC e-commerce solution support the workflows above?If so, is there any documentation/resources available to research this further?
Are there any BC customers that currently do something similar? If so, who and how similar?

Hi Greg,
From what you have described it seems to me that you need some complex server side logic which BC doesn't allow. In any case you'd have to develop an app that communicates between BC and that other application through our API, which will control the orders as per your requirement. In particular, there's no easy way for end user to control their recurring monthly or annual subscription, there's no way to apply immediate discounts according to earlier purchases that will satisfy this requirement "if customer who previously purchased 5 licenses, adds 5 more licenses during month 6 of their annual subscription term, we would need the e-commerce solution to bill them once immediately for the 50% prorated 5 licenses, then bill them 6 month's later for the total 10 license subscription renewal", you can't build in this functionality into BC " the e-commerce site communicates with our web application to get the high water mark quantity for that billing cycle" and there are few more things there which suggest to me that you need something custom.

SharePoint 2010 - Create new site collection in existing web application with different existing content DB

I have a SharePoint 2010 root level site collection SC1 in web application WEBAPP1. I want to create copy of that site collection in same web application WEBAPP1. Apart from Import/Export, Restore/Backup options, will following approach work? If yes , how?
I took backup of content database of web application.
Restored database with different name
Mounted Content database to this WEBAPP1 by assigning new ID to DB
Created new site collection by using this newly mounted DB
Site collection gets created successfully but content does not appear.
Please guide if i can achieve desired functionality by using this approach.
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

It is because the Site GUID is identical, and each GUID can only be present on the farm once. You can use Backup-SPSite/Restore-SPSite (which is full-fidelity, unlike Export-SPWeb/Import-SPWeb), which will generate a new GUID for the restore Site Collection,
even in the same Web App.

Integrating existing Web application with Oracle Portal

Hi,
I have an existing application which is purely written in servlets and which is in use for quite some time. I have a requirement now of moving this application onto the Oracle Portal.
I was just wondering if we have any quick meanse of doing this or we have to re develop from scratch in oracle Portal server(ByDefining page, Page templates..etc).
Advance thanks for your help
Thanks
Sreedhar

What do you mean with "moving this application onto the Oracle Portal"?
The best expedite way is use in the portal a LINK that direct your users to the actual app.
Another quick thing you could do is use the IFRAME TAG (only works in IE). This way you can embed your app in Portal (show it in some area in portal)
Then comes the complex things:
- You can activate SSO to your applications ( which is not THAT difficult)
- You can PORTLATIZATE your app, this doesn't means that you have to rewrite all, but still you need to write in a "Oracle Java Way" some thing to get it work..
You can see this link if you're using portal 10.1.2:

Employ open source framework to existing web application

Hi everyone,
Existing application model:
MySQL, Tomcat, Java 6 SE, so no EJB.
Own MVC model used (no framework).
Own data access layer model (no framework).
Because this is a corporate application, the UI experience
can not be broken (in terms of new beautifuly deployed pages
vs old existing pages - developed around 8 years ago). Application
run on balanced Tomcats, so it's getting more and more difficult
to synchronize all information.
Question:
Is there a way of smooth transition from own developed MVC
and DAO to open source frameworks to leverage some of the work
required to do manually as it is currently, like validation,
access like hibernate instead of manual creation of DAO objects ... ?
Also, it would be nice to have some reach user interface framework
employed but I don't know how it would be achieved not to break
the look and feel (all pages would have to be done at the same time,
and we are talking here about hundrets of existing screens developed
in different technologies).
Application consists of few millions of lines - so it's a real challange.
Thanks for all tips.

To use Web Application Designer release 2004s do we need to have portals???

Hi
I would like some clarity regarding whther we need a portal or not.
If you use Web Application Designer (SAP BW 3.x) it works fine, you can create reports and then it shows in SAP Easy Access under favourites. Executes fine, no portal is used.
Now when I want to use the new Web Application Designer I can not execute the reports. Gives me error
"Java communication error: RFC destination NOT_CONFIGURED does not exist", the window it appears in has a text saying it can't conect to the portal. Then notes that I look at regarding this seems that the connection between SAP BW and Portal must be set up.
So can please someone tell me whether you need the portal to use the new Web Application Designer release 2004s
Thanks in advance
