Preview Release of WebLogic Portal 9 and Workshop 9

I would like to get my hands on a developer preview release of WebLogic Portal 9 and Workshop 9. I can't seem to find it online so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. We're currently evaluating portal products and I would hate to decide against BEA based on the lack of availability of the forthcoming version.
Anybody know where a developer release of either of these two products can be found?

The Technology Preview for WLP 9.x and WLW 9.x will be available in early December. Please contact your BEA account team to let them know that you are interested.
At present the plan is to have a GroupSpace community site for use by all customers participating in the Technology Preview. A BEA technical field staff member (SE, PS, etc.) assigned to your account will use this site to send you an invitation, and when you join you will have access to the installation. Questions, discussions, etc. for the Technology Preview will all go through the GroupSpace site. If you don't know who your BEA technical account member(s) are, you should find out as they will be the key to obtaining the Technology Preview.
If you can't wait for the Technology Preview, please ask your BEA acount team to contact myself or others in Product Management. We'll be happy to go over the product features, show you demos from current builds, etc.
Thanks,
Skip Sauls
Senior Product Manager, WebLogic Portal

    The Beta 9.2 Team,
    9.2 features sounds good and interesting. We are using BEA's Content management system(8.1) extensively.
    Our requirement is to create a portlet for Content Owner/Users to create HTML documents with images and upload it into BEA Repository. Upon uploading, Content Admin needs to be notified through email and they will either approve or reject the document. The content status again needs to be notified to the content owner/user via email.
    1. As known to everyone 8.1 doesn't have WYSIWYG editor and is included in 9.2. Can i reuse the 9.2 WYSIWYG functionality into 8.1 as a portlet??
    2. The following thread(http://forums.bea.com/bea/message.jspa?messageID=400001479&tstart=0) says

  • Where is the download for Oracle Weblogic Portal and current documentation?

    The web page for Oracle Weblogic Portal has a download link, but nothing happens when I click it:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic-portal/downloads/index.html
    I've downloaded the documentation
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic-portal/documentation/index.html
    which is supposed to be for version 10.3, but the dates on the documents are all from 2008. I don't see anything indicating support for JSR 286 in those documents.
    Are there more up-to-date documents for the latest version of Oracle WL Portal?
    Thanks.
    Dean

    Hi Dean
    Looks like that site is down. On Firefox, I checked in Error Console window and it shows some java script error like acceptAgreement is not found etc. This link did worked earlier. I hope they fix it asap. Same problem with IE browser also (java script error).
    Coming to documentation, based on your link, I hope you are using 10.3.2 docs. I clicked on View Library and then select Portlet Development -> Java Portlets link and got this link: This link does cover JSR 286 stuff. For more indepth JSR 286, you can google and get more details.

  • Does weblogic portal and microsoft BI live together

    Can i connect microsoft BI with weblogic portal,

    Yes, it is possible. Take a look at details at Introducing Oracle WebCenter WSRP Producer for .NET
    With portlets you have always two systems:
    - one which host the portlet
    - and the other that consumes it
    Apparently, WebCenter Portal provides both portlet container to host Java portlets and ability to consume portlets (via WSRP). You will need another server that host Microsoft portlets, of course.

  • Running weblogic server and workshop on 2 different machines

    hi all,
    My computer cannot handle both the server and workshop running on it, at the same time.
    1) installed weblgic server, created domain on computer A.
    2) mapped the domain\source code(working in dev mode) on computer A to computer B.
    3) I open up the .work file in the mapped drive from workshop on computer B.
    Problem:
    Computer B never completes "Scanning .. source...", very processor intensive.
    Any help, very much appreciated.
    Novice!

    Workshop is a pig and the scanning thing spikes my CPU everytime (1.8Ghz P4 and 1G memory). Please make it better.

  • How to install Weblogic Portal 10.3.0

    Dear All,
    I need to install Weblogic Portal 10.3.0 in two flavaors. 1) Single instance 2)In a cluster.
    I'm relative new to Weblogic Portal. The platform is solaris 10 64 bit. Can anyone provide a step-by-step installation sequence?
    I read the installation guide but it says nothing about how the installation would work. This is what I have done till now:
    1. Installed the WLP 10.3.0 with Weblogic Server, Weblogic Portal and Workshop components.
    2. After installation, ran config.sh command and configured Admin server and one managed server (to support portal).
    But after my domain is created and I start my managed server, I see nothing in the deployments page. There are no errors either in the log files.
    IS there a step I'm missing? Do we need to manually deploy portal application? if yes, how?
    Any help would be truly appreciated.
    rgds,
    rb

    Hi RB!
    Sounds like you just starting off fresh with WLP. This may or may not help. I suggest learning some of the basics of creating a Portal.Ear file and deploying it to other environments.

    Using WebLogic Portal
    If you are new to WebLogic Portal, a short tutorial is provided to help you get started. See Tutorials – Getting Started with WebLogic Portal for more information. The tutorials discuss setting up a portal development environment, creating a portal, and assembling a desktop in your staging environment.
    Tip:      If you are unfamiliar with the Eclipse development environment on which Workshop for WebLogic is based, the tutorial “Getting Started with Workshop for WebLogic” located in the Oracle Workshop for WebLogic User’s Guide, is highly recommended; the tutorial shows you how to start Workshop for WebLogic and navigate the workbench user interface, introduces terminology associated with the workbench, and shows you how to create a simple web application.
    The WebLogic Portal Overview provides a starting point for understanding and developing applications with WebLogic Portal. This chapter introduces portal concepts, describes the WebLogic Portal infrastructure framework and business services, and describes the portal life cycle, from architecture through development, staging, and production. The remaining chapters in this guide describe each phase of the life cycle in detail and provide a starting point for using WebLogic Portal.

  • Developing portal using Weblogic portal 10.3 or weblogic workshop 10.3

    Hello
    I am new to portal development. I see that one can develop portal using Oracle weblogic workshop 10.3 which has many features including Java Page Flow and Java controls. I am wondering what extra features one can get using Weblogic portal 10.3. The Weblogic platform 10.3 which I use does not have weblogic portal, it has weblogic AS and workshop. Do I need weblogic portal install now or in future while developing portal. I am trying to develop a portal from scratch. Any input will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

    Some suggesssions,
    While installing the weblogic you need select weblogic portal option also. Only for weblogic different installation exe file with portal different exe file.
    To get the weblogic portal server and portal work shop with weblogc you need to down load weblogic portal 10.3 exe file.
    Thanks,

  • ADF jdev 11g portlet   in Weblogic Portal 10G R3?

    Is possible to build a ADF Jdev 11g portlet and deploy it in a Weblogic Portal 10g R3?

    Not with WebLogic Portal 10gR3, no, but that use case is one that will be supported in the upcoming release of WebLogic Portal, which will coincide closely with the release of WebCenter 11g.

  • WebLogic Portal 10.3 cannot initialize graphical installation in Debian 6.0

    Hello everyone.
    I have a problem with installing WebLogic Portal (and WebLogic Server also) with graphic mode in Debian 6.0 Squeeze. I've installed normally in Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 (openjdk-6 amd64), and everything works nice.
    But when I tried to install it in my Debian 6.0 amd64 laptop (Dell Latitude e6400), I have alot of problems. I cannot install weblogic portal (file: portal103_linux32.bin) in graphic mode, and the same problems occur with creating weblogic domain (cannot run config.sh in graphical mode). I know that I can install WebLogic and create domain in command line mode, but the main problem is unable to run Eclipse (OEPE).
    I tried to change JVM from amd64 to i386 and from Sun JVM to JRockit JVM but nothing change. I'm a developer so that I cannot work without Eclipse, please help me to solve this problem.
    Thank in advance.
    Regards.

    This is a bug, CR379999. that will be fixed WLP 10.4. In the meantime, here's the workaround from the bug report:
    Download the plugin manually, and either 1) create an extension location on the file system from it and add that via Help|Software Updates|Manage Configuration, or 2) extract it to one of the workshop eclipse folders (i.e. tools/eclipse_pkgs/2.0/eclipse_3.3.2, tools/eclipse_pkgs/2.0/pkgs/eclipse, workshop_10.3/workshop4WP/eclipse, wlportal_10.3/eclipse).
    Additionally, you can comment out the com.* import lines in your %BEA_HOME%\wlportal_10.3\eclipse\features\com.bea.wlp_10.3.0\feature.xml, like this:
    <requires>
    <import plugin="org.eclipse.core.runtime" version="3.3" match="compatible"/>
    <import plugin="org.eclipse.ui" version="3.3" match="compatible"/>
    <!--
    <import feature="com.m7.nitrox" version="1.0.20" match="compatible"/>
    <import feature="com.bea.workshop.cmdline.feature" version="1.0.30" match="compatible"/>
    <import feature="com.bea.workshop.common.feature" version="1.1.40" match="compatible"/>
    <import feature="com.bea.workshop.upgrade81.feature" version="1.0.30" match="compatible"/>
    <import feature="com.bea.workshop.web.feature" version="1.0.20" match="compatible"/>
    <import feature="com.bea.workshop.wls.feature" version="1.1.30" match="compatible"/>
    <import feature="com.bea.workshop.xmlbeans.feature" version="1.0.30" match="compatible"/>
    -->
    </requires>
    Then restart Workshop. Sorry for the trouble.
