Portal - Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

Hi,
I have a question. I am preparing a proposal for a client that wants an 'innovative' solution to replace an existing legacy system. I want to propose a web solution and was thinking about WebDB (now Portal). However the Portal architecture with 9i Application Server seems a very high-end solution for a small problem. WebDB 2.2 would have been perfect for my requirements but according to local Oracle sales is no longer available.
Is it possible to use Portal without Application server etc. i.e. is it possible to install something similar to WebDB from the Portal media or is it an all or nothing scenario??? Also the requirement to buy IDS with Portal is a problem. What happened to the WebDB wizards for building forms/reports/components etc???

Oracle Portal is shipped with Oracle 9iAS. Oracle 9iAS has a minimal install option which is effectively the minimum config you need for Oracle portal. Try this out. All of the WebDB wizards are part of Oracle Portal.

How to Execute a Remote Procedure in Portal using Database Link

Hi,
I followed the instructions to create a Portal form for a remote procedure. But I am encountering the following error. Can someone advise what may be the cause?
Failed to execute - Missing string(create_package_body) language(us) domain (wwv) sub_domain (wwv_builder) (WWV-04300)
ORA-04020: deadlock detected while trying to lock object PUBLIC.PORTLET_SCHEMA (WWV-11230)
Failed to parse as PORTAL - (WWV-08300)
PURPOSE
How to execute a remote procedure in Portal using Database Link.
DESCRIPTION
This procedure assumes that you have two databases, one of which is remote, and Portal is configured in the other.
Remote Database A:
==================
1) Create a procedure as follows: Create or Replace PROCEDURE SCOTT.ADD_TWO_VALUES ( v_one IN NUMBER, v_two IN NUMBER, v_result OUT NUMBER) as begin v_result :=v_one+v_two; end; 2) Grant execute privileges to PUBLIC on the procedure.
Database B (where Portal is configured): ========================================
1) Create a public database link and choose to connect as a specific user (say SYSTEM). By default, in an Oracle 8i database, the "global_names" parameter in initSID.ora (or init.ora) file is set to "true". This Global Naming parameter enforces that a dblink has the same name as the database it connects to. Therefore, if the remote global database (A) name is "ora8.acme.com" then the database link should also be named as "ora8.acme.com".
2) Create a synonym for the procedure in Database A. Make sure you fully qualify the procedure name in the remote database (like SCOTT.ADD_TWO_VALUES).
3) Create a dynamic page to execute the procedure. The ORACLE tags in the dynamic page will look similar to the following: <ORACLE> DECLARE v_total NUMBER; BEGIN ADD_TWO_VALUES(:v_one,:v_two, v_total); htp.p('The total is => '); htp.p('<input type="TEXT" VALUE='||v_total||'>'); htp.para; htp.anchor('http://<machine.domain:port#>/pls/portal30/SCOTT.DYN_ADD_TWO_VALUES.show_parms', 'Re-Execute Procedure'); END; </ORACLE>
4) Portal does not have an option to create a form based on a synonym. Therefore, if you want to create a form instead of a dynamic page, create a wrapper procedure and then create a form based on this procedure. For example: Create or Replace PROCEDURE PORTAL30.ADD_TWO_VALUES_PR ( v_one IN NUMBER, v_two IN NUMBER, v_total OUT NUMBER) as begin add_two_values(v_one, v_two, v_total); end;
5) Grant execute privileges to PUBLIC on the procedure.

2.Create portal users. (in portal or read from ldap)
3.Create KM navigation iview to point folders in your repository.

Import of XML file failed in portal using XML Content and Action

Hi Friends,
I am trying to import the simple XML file which is just creating the folder in the PORTAL_CONTENT using XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS which is one way of creating the portal content. GO TO SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION > TRANSPORT > XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS > IMPORT.
The reason for using this import tool is to upload the backend Business roles, which is not not working on our corporate portal. To test the import functionality I used the following xml file (I got this XML file by exporting the test folder in the portal using the same tool)

Web interface displays via Portal using Mozilla or Firefox

We have several web interfaces (BW-BPS) and have created iViews on our Portal (EPP 6.0). These iViews properly execute in IE 6.0.
However, when we execute the BPS iViews using Mozilla or Firefox we see significant display discrepancies. For example, the web interface should display grid lines between the rows, but, we don't see them when running through the Portal using Mozilla or Firefox.
We thought that the Web interfaces themselves may be the issue but they properly execute when run straight from BW in Mozilla 1.7.13.
Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks,
Bill

Hello Bill,
first of all please check the Product Availability Matrix. Not all browser versions are supported. http://service.sap.com/pam

Running Discoverer reports into portal using SSO portal login - help

Hi,
I am trying to run disco reports into oracle portal using discoverer portlet providers -list of worksheet. What I want to achieve is as follows
1) login to portal using SSO userid /pwd - Done
2) Enable discoverer for SSO - Done
*3) Use discoverer list of worksheets to show reports into portal but want to filter the list of worksheet to currently logged in portal user. This so that users looged in only sees the reports to which they have access in discoverer - Need Help*
*4) Once user runs this report then I want to filter the discoverer data based on users login or portal group - Help*
Can someone please help with issue no 3/4 urgently.
Mant thanks
Ganesh

Hi Michael,
Assuming I have created the private connections using CAPI I still have my doubts as follows
Do I have to then login as each portal user and add the list of worksheet portlet for each user and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Considering we have 500+ users this will be huge cumbersom task for me.
Also when I tried to do this before loggin as each portal user when I logged in as second portal user I could see the list of worksheet portalet added by the first user which means I have to edit it but even that was not possible because it would not let me edit as only the page own whi created the portlet was allowed to edit (that is the first user)
OR
Do you have to give portal user permission to edit the page so that they can log on themselve to add the list of worksheet portlet on the page by selecting their private connection and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Finally I know someone has made it work using URL links and it works as follows
1) Map the portal and disco user into a table
2) Create disco private connections
3) when portal user loggs in and click on "Show my discoverer report" it then runs a PL/SQL package which in turn identifies the private connection details and creates a URL out of it as follows
[http://portal.ccm.ac.uk/discoverer/app/partialConnect?password=IRTIMUDV123_=qplus=VDUMITRI=browser_selected=connect=RELATIONAL=QPRIS=viewer]
clicking on this link open discoverer with private list of workbook/worksheet.
Please advise which way should I follow.
Thanks

Portal using Webdynpro for ABAP

Hi Gurus!
    I am using one portal using 'Webdynpro For ABAP'. It contains Contextual Panel as well as ViewUIContainer. Contextual Panel contains all the reqd options available for user; while ViewUIContainer contains diff views as requested.
   Now, I'm trying to make a copy of that Webdynpro with some other name. What happens is --
Application is not there and when I try to make one - it says
"Interface View Does Not Exists."
Further, when I try to make an Interface View with the new name - it says
"Interface View Does Not Exists."
   Therefore, what I could conclude about the case is -- may be Interface View is default to certain Webdynpro components/interface. Hence, my question is how can I make use of same webdynpro application with some other name. This requirement arises due to the fact that we have to add some more functionalities to that and I dont want to play with the efforts made so far.
Kumar Saurav.

Issue Resolved.

Building a portal using SharePoint 2010

Hi,
We are trying to build a portal using SharePoint 2010.
The pimary requirement for the portal is to allow users to upload, view and manage different types of documents (xls, doc, ppt, vsd).
The uploaded documents need to be mapped to the different categories as per their classification.
For example, the documents fall into 5 main categories: A, B, C, D, E. These categories are further divided into sub-categories and so on for two more levels.
Example, Main categories: A, B, C, D, E
Sub categories for A: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on
So, if one clicks on node A and then click on node 4, then all related documents will be displayed. (A.4)
From the front end point of view, the user should be able to access these documents by just clicking on the nodes representing different categories.
There are some more functionalities to be built for this portal - search, versioning, etc.
Can someone please provide me the (high level steps) approach for building this portal and some reference material from features/architecture/technical requirements point of view?
This would of great help!
Thanks!

Sure. Most of what you're describing is around the topic of document storage.
As you may be aware the object documents are stored in within SharePoint is a document library. You can have sub folders within that library but they're to be avoided if possible and shouldn't be a default choice.
To classify your documents there is several routes you can take. The least complicated is to use a single Content Type with a single Managed Metadata Column. This column would use a Mananged Metadata Term taken from a term set with the structure of A (1,2,3,4,5),B(x,y,z),etc..
That will allow your users to tag the document on upload (or modify it later) with a term such as A:1 or B:52.
To browse only the relevant items you can use the Managed Navigation tools in the document library, this allows you to show a term set and filter to various levels, for example all A terms, (ie A:1, A:2 etc.) or drill down to A:1 specifically.
