Portal with multiple layout !!!

Hi,
I've seen a lot of questions in this Newsgroup regarding the development of a
portal containing multiple layouts, but no clear answers was given.
If the only way to develop a portal with multiple layout is to not use the portal
framework, please could you give me a detailed approach how to do it (maybe there
is Howto document somewhere ...) !
Thanks for your help, I'm stuck and unfortunately not very familiar with the product.
/Julien

Thanks Phil,
OK, then could you explain me how to build a simple portal without the portal/portlet
facilities, but taking advantage of the personnalization tags available.
- e.g. Which APPLICATION_INI I need to setup ?
I appreciate your help

Julien - BEA's next portal release (version 4.0) will
have complete support for a variety of different
layout templates. There will be a selection of layouts
out-of-the-box as well as the ability to provide your
own custom layout. Also, "tabs" will be added to the
portal and each tab may use a different layout template.
Version 4.0 is scheduled for Fall 2001.
With previous versions of the portal product, you will
need to edit/customize portalcontent.jsp and the jsp's
it calls. The layout Html is spread through them, so it
is not a fun excercise.

UME ABAP PORTAL WITH MULTIPLE DB INSTANCES

Hello xperts, there is a subject i would like to expose, we have a portal with UME ABAP, and we are integrating no-sap portals to the sap portal, in order to make single sign on we know is necessary todo a user mapping , using only one sap backend system,and several local portal users (ume java).
I know it is not possible get back to ume java which is the default installed in a fresh portal installation, but what if we install a new instance with another system id and and using the same database instance? it is possible? (or some thing like that?)
Thank a lot!!!

Hi,
Hope you are doing good.
I am not sure if i have understood the issue correctly, but you can give MCOD a shot.

Creating a system in portal with multiple instances of backend sys

Hi all,
I am creating a system in the portal to my backend system(ECC6.0 with integrated ITS).I had a multiple instance backend system.The 2 instances are on two different boxes .The 2 instances have different ip addresses and hostnames.At a time only one instance will be active.We have a virtual ip and hostname for the Central instance.
In this case how to create the system so that the portal can switch from one instance to other while it is changed at the backend.
The major issue is how to fill the ITS properties while creating the system.Which hostname I have to give.
First instance hostname : eccprd1.XXXXXX.com
Second instance hostname :eccprd2.XXXXXX.com
Vitual hostname of central instance : eccsap.XXXXX.com
Any suggestions please.
Thanx and Regards,

This should be applicable to any intended scenario.
Summary of Steps
1. Download file
2. create application as shown in sample file.
3. Import verify.der and install it in your local server , in the place specified in your application(.NET)
4. Run the planned scenario. The page(.NET Page) that will be initially accessed from SAP Portal should run your program or have that code , so that it can authenticate it without requesting userid and password.

Portal with multiple content providers

Hello,
Tools 8.52
App Version 9.1
We have Portal consuming mulitple PS applications like ELM, HCM, CRM.
And we are imporiting the entire registry structure of all the applications.
So we will end up importing PLs, Roles and User Ids.
My question is what will happen if we have same role name or Permission list name in two databases HCM and ELM.
Say the customer defines role saying Manager in HCM and ELM both.
What is the best way to manage such conflicts?
Thank You.
Best Regards,
Ekta

Content references and PLs are copied by Application designer projects from Content Providers to Portal.You could copy Content Reference using Application Designer, but you should me careful when doing this across different applications.
Applications have different parent folders, content reference has permissions that are application specific, which to not have to exist in the target environment.
And especially Portal works different from the other applications.
Portal, said very easily, "has no own application", but is used to link to content references to other applications.
You should really set up Content reference in Portal manually, that's why Unified Navigation was introduced.
Why you should set it up manually and not copy via application designer:
Content reference in for example HCM is usually configured on LOCAL_NODE.
When you copy this across to Portal, Portal will interpret this a link to the Portal application.
This has to be changed in Portal to the local node of HCM, for example PSFT_HR.
Content reference have permissions set, usually deviated from the permission lists on components using the Portal Security Sync process.
Permission to a component is/could be different than permission to the content reference that references the component.
One is, can I see the menu link, other is, do I have access to the page.
And is exactly what you should do with Portal in junction with other PeopleSoft applications.
Portal has only permissionlist to content references (menu links) to components on other Applications nodes.
On the other application permission list on the actual component has to set.
So userprofiles and assigned roles will have to synchronized across applications user the USER_SYNC service.
Roles in Portal and and other applications have to exists, but do not need to have any permissionlists in the Portal environment.
Suppose you have a user in HCM with roles and within the role permissionlist to components.
The same user will be synced to Portal, the user profile will be copied and assigned roles will be copied.
Now Portal needs to have roles/permissionlists to the content references in Portal that link to the HCM component.
These permissionlist in Portal can be other than the ones in HCM.

Combining documents with multiple layouts into a single book for pdf export

I have made a series of documents that feature 3 different layouts, however I would like to connect all these documents into a book and then export 1 layout style from each document into a pdf to form a book. However when I go to the export book as pdf the option to select pages or ranges is greyed out and not clickable for some reason, does anyone know of another way to get around this short of exporting each individual document layout and then merging them as a pdf?

You need to set up the book to contain precisely what you want to export.
However, it is basically better to export single documents and merging them later as PDF, regarding colour spaces, page numbering, paragraph styles, page formats etc.

Multiple Layout in report

Hi
I am creating a report with multiple layout ( to be executed as concurrent request from Apps) with following 3 layouts.
1.Group Above
2.Group Above with Matrix
3.Group Above
Reports are based on Global Temporary tables which are populated in Before Report Trigger. Data is populated successfully. When only one Layout exists , it displays data as expected. But when I am adding second layout it is displaying blank report. Are there any properties that need to be set like Base Printing on , Anchor, Print Object on in case of such scneario.I have tried setting this properties with different combinations but same result.
Would appreciate any inputs from you guys.
Thanks
Yogesh

hello,
check if you experience the same behaviour if you report of a regular table (not a global temporary one).
in general you should see what you want, exactly the way you did it.

Mohamed Fawzi | http://fawzi.wordpress.com

Hi Mohamed.
I am sitting almost in the same sudation, I am designing a service request form in the portal and will be using multiple checkboxes for various new equipment aka desktop, laptop, mobile blah blah.
were you able to get multiple checkboxes to work in the portal, and if so, could you possibly share the solution. also if I may ask, can you have two or there checkboxes in the same row (next to each other), or only in a column?
thanks in advance

Multiple layouts per portal

i would like to create a look and feel like amazon.com(and many other sites) with tabs and each tab having different layout.
since a portal can only have one layout per group, how can this be done.
i was thinking of having multiple portals and then switch the user to different portals depending on the tab clicked.
but that is clumsy with all that session information transfering and admin setup.
i saw in you api that there is something called a category and that you can get a layout using a category as an argument.
is there going to be native support for multiple layouts per portal? if so, when, next release?

Hi Thomas,
you have several options with the portal standard:
1.) If the user only has one role assigned at a time you can attach the portal layout to the roles. So depending on the role the user has he sees the respective layout - BUT: how to asign the two roles to the user!? This can only be done by admins and I assume that it is no intended to call the admins every time the user needs the other role?
2.) The entry to the portal is realized with different urls like http://yourportal.com/VIEW1 and http://yourportal.com/VIEW2.
VIEW1 and VIEW2 are so called portal aliases and you can attach the different layouts to those aliases.
BUT: the two roles have nothing to do with the aliases so you still have the problem of role assignment.
3.) Each person gets two users with each user assigned to one role and one layout assigned to the user or group or role...
Anyhow: I would ask the people who brought up the idea of two different layouts - WHY?? A portal is ONE single point of entry for EVERY application and information a user needs. So why two different layouts? And what, if five others are coming each bringing their own layouts, too?
4.) If you really want to have different layouts each time a different top-level navigation point is active you have to program your own portal component. That would fit your needs but is besides standard.
Hth,
Michael

Multiple Portals with OAM

Hello All,
Is it possible to register multiple Portals to single OAM instance for authentication? If so is there a document available somewhere? I could only find OBE integrating single Portal with OAM.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can do that. You basically need to setup mod_osso agent in OAM.
Oracle Portal behaves exact in the same way as any mod_osso protected application. If you are able to protect a standard HTML file on the webserver's operating system, you will be able to protect your Portal as well.
Setup is not documented (yet).
Thanks,
EJ

Working with Multiple Files in Workspace Layout

If I was working with multiple files in the workspace layout, they each used to be available for selection from a tab. Now I can either cascade the files horizontally or vertically - but not have them appear in a tab across the top of the workspace layout.
Does anyone know how to set the workspace to present multiple files in tabs? I have CS3.

Tanya,
This may not help, but the times when that happens to me is when I go too fast and some operations haven't finished. I then try to select a file that hasn't completed and the file I select is in the process of having the data updated. The worst is when it is trying to render as I am doing something.
I hope this helps some.

Recommended configuration for load balanced Portal with load balancer, multiple gateways and multiple servers.

Does anyone have a recommended network, hardware and software configuration guide for a Portal installation running with multiple gateways load balanced (ie one URL) that talk to multiple servers?

David,
We've used Resonate (software) to load balance the gateways. It allows
you to group all the gateways under 1 virtual URL and load balance the
incoming connections over each gateway depending on the rules that you
define in Resonate. Look in the SUN portal whitepapers there is one that
talks about it specifically.
As far as load balancing the calls to the portals, the gateways will
automatically load balance across all the portals that they know about
using a simple round-robin rotation. You may be able to use Resonate in
front of the portals but you may need to activate persistance within
Resonate to ensure that the user always ends up on the portal that he
established his initial connection on (if you want that), check with Sun
on this one.

VSAM file with multiple record layouts (COBOL REDEFINES)

Hi. We're using Tuxedo 12c to migrate a COBOL/CICS/VSAM application from MVS to Solaris/Oracle 11gR2.
We have a few VSAM files with record layouts that start with a record-type field, and based on that, the remainder of the record layout varies based on COBOL copybooks using REDEFINES. We can't be the first to have this issue, and am wondering if there's a best-practice solution. Our initial thought is that each record type should become a separate database table, but if we need to do this manually, we'll also need to modify the post-converted code manually. I'm hoping there's a better way.
Thanks.

You are correct; you are not the first person to do this. There are a number of different strategies depending upon what you are trying to accomplish. First, is your objective to leave the COBOL/CICS/VSAM as is? If so, which COBOL compiler do you intend to use? Are you using Tuxedo ART Workbench? Are you aware that you have the option of leaving the VSAM datasets as VSAM on the target platform? If you want to convert VSAM to Oracle DB tables, you can create a separate table for each record type as you suggested or you can treat the entire record as a blob and let the copyfile sort it out once the data is returned to the program. Of course with this approach you will not realize the benefits Oracle DB as an RDBMS. Please provide me some additional context and I will make some best practices suggestions.
You can get some insight on Tuxedo ART Workbench at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18050_01/artwb/docs11gr1/wbuser/FileToOracle.html

Repeat "Detail a" section when using "Format with Multiple Columns" layout

I am using Crystal Reports for .NET (VS 2008) and I would like to get the "Detail a" section to repeat at top of a second column containing additional data in "Detail b" section. Please see below for example, specifically "Detail a (2)". Any tips or help much appreciated.
Detail a (1)_____Detail a (2)
Detail b (1-1)___Detail b (2-3)
Detail b (1-2)___Detail b (2-4)
--Detail b (1-3)___Detail a (3)
Detail a (2)______--Detail b (3-1)
--Detail b (2-1)
--Detail b (2-2)
Thx, Scott

the format with multiple columns i dont believe will show you the value 2x, but allows you to display the values across instead of down.
i think you may want to use a sub report

How to configure one TREX host with multiple index servers ?

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to configure TREX on the one host,
with multiple index servers ?
Reason for this is to make better use of resources available on the host server(4 Gig, 4 Processor, Windows2003), to improve the search performance of
our KM content for portal users.
I am using TREX 7 and have not been able to do this,
despite reading the Single and Distributed install
documentation.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Andres

Hi Andres,
To make use of the RAM a Server provides you have to run two indexserver processes (each can then consume 2 GB);
Proceed like this:
1. Go to TREXdeamon.ini; check if section [indexserver2] is there (it is already provided, but not active in standard installation)
2. In TREXdeamon.ini go to
[daemon]
references sections below
programs=nameserver,preprocessor1,indexserver1,queueserver,alertserver
and add indexserver2 here. Restart TREX; second porcess is then started; can be checked in TREX monitor in Portal as well
3. To distribute existing indexes to the new process, start TREXadmintool and go to Index: Landscape
Go to the last two columns and move the indexes (move master here/secondary mouse click)
If you don't distribute the indexes the new index server process will be regarded when an new index is created.
Hope this helps!
cheers
Bettina
