Portal to go / iAS / OAS

What is the difference between Portal to go,
Oracle Internet Application Server and Oracle Application Server ?
Thanks
null

Created as "Project Panama", changed to "Portal-to-Go", the product is now called "Oracle 9i Application Server, Wireless Edition". Now, most of the people inside the iASWE bundle talks about Portal-to-Go as a component, as we talk about Spatial as a component of Oracle8i Database.

What's the Portal bundled with ias 10.1.2.0.2 ? 10.1.2.0.1 or 10.1.2.0.2 ?

My Holy Graal is to upgrade Portal 10.1.4...
OUI claims I'm running
<ul>
<li>Oracle Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2 in one home (AS)</li>
<li>Oracle Portal 10g 10.1.2.0.1 under that same home</li>
</ul>
(I installed the AS home only for the Portal and the install went like a breeze).
However, when I display the [WEB] Enterprise manager home page it says :
Version : 10.1.2.0.2
Installation Type :Portal and Wireless
My install is :
<ul>
<li>One home with DBMS 10.1.2.0.1</li>
<li>One home with MRCA 10.1.2.0.2</li>
<li>One home wiith OIM 10.1.2.0.2</li>
<li>One home with AS 10.1.2.0.2</li>
</ul>
I was going to go straight to the portal upgrade and decided to look up the exact Portal version number through OUI. I wish I hadn't !!!
Can somebody confirm I do NOT need to apply 10.1.2.1 despite the
<a style="color:#0000ff" href="http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/upg_1014_1012_intro.html#SupportedVersions">
Warning</a> on the upgrade page. In other words that the Portal version bundled with ias 10.1.2.0.2 is 10.1.2.0.2 (and that OUI is wrong to claim otherwise).
Thx in adv
Alain Pannetier

I've upgraded yesterday night and all went well !
Except that the precheck detected that my repository db's aq_tm_processes was still unset.
I must have changed the current value only at install time (now it's also in the spfile).
 
The good thing is that you can run the upgrade script a second time and that it detects the already successfully executed steps.
So basically found the mrua its shrubbery ;-)

Portal upgrade without iAS upgrade

I have upgraded my Portal instance from 3.0.6 to 3.0.6.
But I didn't upgrade my iAS instance, and I got this message at login:
"Call to WPG_SESSION API Failed.Error-Code:6550"
I read somewhere that the problem might be, that I didn't upgrade iAS 1.0.2.0-> 1.0.2.2
Is it possible to use only the mod_plsql module of the iAS 1.0.2.2 with the upgraded Portal 3.0.8?
Will it work, or I must upgrade my whole iAS to 1.0.2.1 and to 1.0.2.2. Then why give Oracle the Portal upgrade script?
Thanks.
Paszty

Thank you for your quick answer.
I've got another question.
Where can I find the iAS upgrade scripts?
We have got iAS 1.0.2.1 and 1.0.2.2 install CDs, but we didn't find any upgrade options.
We have got now an upgraded Portal 3.0.8. Which iAs upgrade must we use? 1.0.2.1 or 1.0.2.2 or both?
Thank you.

Component Portal:portal is down in OAS 9.0.4.1.1

Hello,
i think i know why is down but i don't know how and where can i repair this.
Inside the component Portal:portal is almost at the bottom Related link and beside is "Portal End User Default Homepage" which URL show me to
http://http//server.domain.si:80/pls/portal.
So, twice http://.
What can i do?
Tilen

so,..
i've got the solution from metalink and i write here for somebody else....
It seems the problem for this issue is someone has inserted or altered the targets.xml file for the portal:portal target.
The PortalListeningHostPort parameter includes "http". This parameter should not include the http because there is an already param
eter that calls http, HTTPProtocol.
The PortalListeningHostPort should only contain the hostname:port. For example,
<Property NAME="PortalListeningHostPort" VALUE="name.domain:port"/>
Stop the iasconsole, make the changes, restart iasconsole and update the SR with your results.

IFS and iAS (OAS)

We currently use OAS as our web server. All pages are dynamically generated and stored on our Oracle 8i database. My question is this: Is there a way to connect from my OAS web page to iFS and be authenticated to iFS with the username/password combination I entered to access the web site?

Joe
Here's the JspLogin class I used in a demo once. It implements the IfsHttpLogin interface.
Once you've instantiated it you'll need to connect to the repository and obtain a LibrarySession interface and then invoke the setSession() method on the JspLogin object.
The code will look something like this
LibraryService ifsService = new LibraryService();
CleartextCredential me = new CleartextCredential(username,password);
ConnectOptions connect = new ConnectOptions();
connect.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
connect.setServiceName(service);
connect.setServicePassword(schemaPassword);
LibrarySession ifsSession = ifsService.connect(me,connect);
if (DEBUG) {
Alert.log("JspUtilities.obtainSession: Session Created.");
JspLogin login = new JspLogin();
login.setSession(ifsSession);
httpSession.putValue(IFSHTTPLOGIN,login);
Note IFSHTTPLOGIN is defined as follows
public static final String IFSHTTPLOGIN = "IfsHttpLogin";
I used this code once in a demo. I've not tested that the Login object this creates will allow the complete iFS WebUI to run. This code is definitely supplied as is, with no warranties or anything else for that matter.

How to use IAS Portal's users in Instant Portal

Is it possible to give access in Instant Portal pages to IAS Portal's users already existing in OID ?
Since I have already the IAS Portal users and I want to give them access to Instant Portal , why not to reference them when defininf Instant Portal pages.
If this is possible, please tell me how to do that .
Thanks in advance .

Yes you can by adding them to oip_available_users Group. The users in this group are eligible for Oracle Instant Portal priviledges. You can grant the oip_available_ user the apppropiate priviledge level for the OIP from the Manage User Rights Screen.
Note: to add IAS Portal user to the oip_available user group in oracle portal:
Go Administer Tab-->Services--->Directory Adminstration--->Groups---do % and click on: Go--->select oip_available_users radio button-->Click on View/Manage Tab-->edit tab--->add User Tab-->submit

Problem running Oracle Portal to Go (Oracle9i 1.0.2.0.0)

I have installed Oracle9i Application Server WE 1.0.2.0.0 Standard Edition on Windows2000 Professional Edition. I am getting problems regarding running Portal to Go.
The installer said that installation was successful. Moreover I have done the configuration tasks mentioned Oracle9i installation guide under post installation steps for Oracle9i.
But Oracle Portal to Go is not running and returning error message. Are there some other tasks still to perform to configure the Oracle Portal to Go Standard Edition?
Here it is a brief Description of what I have done with the installations process
System: Pentium II 500 MHZ with 256 MB RAM and 15 GB Hard Disk so enough space available for installations.
Windows 2000 professional was freshly installed
All pre installation tasks are done like paging file size is 896MB
Important Installation steps and points are as under (Standard Edition of Oracle 9i Application Server 1.0.2.0.0):
I followed all the steps given in Oracle 9i AS installation guide
On Windows 2000 Installer never asks for reboot before actually installing the Oracle 9i application server (Chapter 4 of installation guide: preparing system for installation: step5: page 5 of 25). So I manually reboot the system
During installation when I reached Database Access Descriptor (DAD) for Oracle Portal. In TNS connect string field for Apache listener Configuration I entered the same name (abc) (chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step2, 3: page 10,11 of 25) as I was going to use for my Global database name later at database Identification steps (chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step 4: page 12 of 25)
Note: In an other installation I left the same fields (TNS connect string) blank but of no use.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
When installation of Oracle9i AS reaches 100% installer opens a command prompt and displays
ORA: 12541 TNS: No Listener
Enter user name:
When I enter SYSTEM as a user name it displays
Password:
I entered manager as password and then it displays
ORA 12560: TNSProtocol adaptor error
And once again it asks for user name and password
I once again enter system as a user and manager as password.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
After 100% completion of the installation the configuration tools screen appears
(Chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step 10: page 17 of 25) and the following tasks are performed
Net8 configuration Assistant succeeds
Oracle database configuration assistant succeeds
When The Oracle portal 3.0 configuration Assistant Starts
I hold the installation steps for oracle portal for a while and do some database configuration tasks that are necessary (may be some are not) for installation of portal.
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
For example
Increase the table space size of Users (400 MB), and Temp (100MB) table spaces.
Validated invalid PL/SQL Modules with ULTRP.SQL script
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Installed dbms_job.sql package as it was mentioned in another guide (Oracle portal-to-Go installation Guide- Release1.0.2: Page 1: last line)
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Stopped the database and listener
And did some changes as was asked in Oracle portal-to-Go installation Guide- Release1.0.2
Edited the init<SID>.ora file and set the following fields
aq_tm_processes = 1
job_queue_processes = 4 (2 were recommended in guide but I left the already set values)
job_queue_interval = 30
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
Also I did the following too (though these are recommended for Internet file system)
opern_cursors = 300 (in installation guide it is asked 255 but I kept the already set value)
shared_pool_size = 52438800 (50M was suggested and this is more than that)
processes = 200
(Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
I started the database and listener
Proceeded the installation of Oracle Portal as is described in installation guide for Oracle 9i Application guide 1.0.2.0.0
And successfully completed the installation of Oracle Portal
There were no errors reported on the installer however when I read the installation log some errors were mentioned at the end of the file
Please see the attached log file.
I also completed all the post installation tasks at the end of chapter 4 of Oracle9i Application Server installation guide 1.0.2.0.0 except the configuration of Oracle Internet file system (is it necessary for running Oracle Portal to Go)
When I run the oracle portal to go the following situation is encountered
Working: http://localhost/pls/portal30/admin_/dadentries.htm
Error at: http://localhost/pls/portal30/portal30.home
Error: The preference path does not exist: Oracle.Portal.Page (WWC-51000)
(And this is the main source of confusion)
Working: http://localhost/pls/portal30/admin_/gateway.htm?schema=portal30
Working: http://et-wks-08:5555/invoke/wm.server.admin/adminPage
Are there any other guides and post installation steps still to follow to successfully run this Portal to Go or it is sufficient?
I can also send the installation logs of both Oracle 9i application server (installActions.log and installActions2001-05-28_03-50-56-PM.log) and Oracle portal to Go (install.log).
If you ask, I can send you the installation guides that I have followed and the screen shoots of the error messages for a detail review.
Moreover can anyone please tell me if this version of Oracle 9i Application server is ok or I must try some other version?
Also advise any other if any successful configuration and installation options.
Is it possible to run this portal to go with any other installation options/arrangements/configurations etc?
Any help from anyone will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
If you use portal 30 instead of OAS, The installation gives you the Apache ready.

Oracle Portal Installation

I have installed Oracle Portal using the iAS 9i release 1.0.2.2.0 on my pc
My database is on another pc. It is Oracle Enterprise Edition 8.1.7
Although the installation completed succesfully when I am trying to connect to the portal using Internet Explorer 5 the following message comes:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /pls/portal30/portal30.home on this server

Please give me some help or ideas!!!
thank you

A good place to look for answers is the Oracle9iAS Portal Configuration Guide. An online version is accessible from PortalCenter:

Select Documentation and look for the link to 'Configuration Guide'
Chapter 8 includes a troubleshooting section that addresses common installation problems.

Migrating Portal Content from a previous release

I am stuck up with a challenging task. I am new to Portals and will really appreciate your help.
I have installed the new OAS 10.1.2 version and upgraded it to the Portal 10.1.4 version. There is a some Portal Content present on different OAS installations which are earlier versions of the server (9i and 10.0.3)
Can i migrate this Portal Content to the new Portal Server (10.1.4)? Please provide me with the appropriate information.
Thanks

Hi,
It is not possible to migrate portal contents to the different version of Portal. In order to export the portal contents both the source and destination machine should have same Portal version.
As a work around you need to upgrade the Portal instance in other OAS to the highest Portal version(10.1.4).
You can refer to the Note 263995.1 for portal export and import, and you can also find the portal export and import document in the below link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1014/b19305/cg_imex.htm#i1030999

a) did you use instead of $OIDHOST the hostname of your OID?
b) or did you set the variable OIDHOST and then used $OIDHOST ?
c) did you replace GIVE_IAS_ADMIN_PWD_HERE with the password you got for ias_admin ?
If your OID host was ebs.yantro.com, and your new ias_admin password is 'oracle01', and your infrastructure is installed somewhere on '/10g/p02/app/oracle/10gAS/infra' location, then for the above command, you have to use the following:
export ORACLE_HOME=/10g/p02/app/oracle/10gAS/infra
cd $ORACLE_HOME
ldapsearch -h ebs.yantro.com -p 389 -D "cn=orcladmin" -w oracle01 -b "cn=ias,cn=products,cn=oraclecontext" -s sub orclresourcename=PORTAL orclpasswordattribute
It must give you the new portal password.
2. BTW, I can see that you would not need the portal password to log into your portal!
Because, you seem to have been working on an upgraded portal from 9i and actually your portal application is portal30 and not the default portal that comes with OAS 10g!
Please tell us do you not have a separate portal application named portal30 ?

Static LOV functions differently in 9.0.2 from 9.0.1

In my previous Portal applications under IAS 9.0.1 I had several static LOV's that contained the following structure:
DISPLAY VALUE RETURN VALUE
Login User Name #PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user
This worked as expected, the user sees the display of 'Login User Name' in a drop down list on a form, but the users login name was actually inserted into the table when Insert is selected.
I've since upgraded IAS to 9.0.2 (no patchsets installed)
This same LOV no longer works. What gets insert into the table is the string "PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user" and not the users name, as before.
I know I can kluge something similar into a dynamic LOV but does anyone know why this function call no longer works? I have several similar LOV's that get sequence number nextval's in a similar fashion and they no longer work either.
Thanks

Using Webstart behind a proxy firewall

Hi,
According to http://www.vamphq.com/jwsfaq.html#proxylogin if one uses Webstart behind a proxy firewall and one enters the wrong password, Webstart will not reprompt. Has this changed in Tiger or does this problem still occur? Does Webstart automatically import proxy settings from the browser in Webstart? To my understanding plain-application does not auto-import.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Gili

If you have a Domina Name registered.Install IAS or OAS as your web server. Use NAT on your firewall to point to the illegal IP address. Make sure that there is a Domain Name Server somehwere on the Internet pointing to your Legal IP address for your domain name. If you don't have a domain name, you will still do everything the IAS/OAS setups, but you will have to type your Legal IP address into the browser to connect.

Starting/Stopping Application Server Forms and Reports

Hello,
Are there any scripts (like dbstart and dbshut for Oracle DB) for starting and stopping "Application Server Forms and Reports". If not, any special suggestions?
I must automatically start this application on Unix. I know that during starting some steps must be performedy by the root user (export DISPLAY env variable and issue the "xhost +" command) and later the oracle user must do some things( export ORACLE_HOME and DISPLAY and issue the "opmnctl startall" command). Does anybody have scripts like that?
Regards,
Tim

If you're on 10.1.2, there is a script (requires an X Windows session). It's called runstartupconsole.sh, but you've got to update the install type to Portal in the ias.properties file if I remember right. It looks cool, but a shell script works better.
Here is a shell script that does some of those things. You still need to run xhost+ after running a display if you're using something that requires a DISPLAY to start. Someone may have a better one, but this one works.
We actually use one that starts all the different components individually except for Reports in rc scripts. That is the only thing we have that needs a Display set to start. So then xhost + is run & at the same time, the Unix sysadmin runs a script that start Reports from opmn.
I hope this is useful.
Cordially,
Steve

IMO this error is wrong initialization of htp package.
I don't know which toolkits is included into Oracle 8.1.7, but probably is a same as IAS toolkit.
In this case to use htp.print or htp.prn procedure first needs call to htp.init procedure.
For example:
begin
htp.init;
htp.print('Hellow world');
htp.flush;
owa_util.showpage;
end;
Also probably there are more errors because the bad initialization of owa package.
Owa package is not designed to use by sql plus command line interface. Try with IAS or XSQL owa call.
Best regards, Marcelo.
PD: owa_util 318 line is a line which contain access to owa.cgi_var_name array, this array is filled by IAS/OAS before the procedure call, then, using SQL Plus this array is empty.
Steve: This is not an error of dbxml package.
