Problems crossing Portal instances

We have 2 separate portal instances (intranet/extranet). The intranet iAS has a typical setup to the intranet portal node plus login server and 2 additional DADs pointing to the extranet portal node and its login server. The same is for the extranet iAS. So we can connect from each side through the IAS to the both portal nodes and their login servers.
When the extranet iAS is connecting to the intranet portal node the user will produce an ORA 6510 (stale connection) and we have to restart the iAS. Did anyone already experience this problem?
Next thing is that on the global settings page you can see the the login server settings and the "Query Path URL Prefix" contains strange values (Intranet portal contains extranet login server URL and vice versa). Can anyone explain the meaning of this field. What do we do if we have different login server URLs (more than one) depending on the portal url ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ved, thanks for your time.
First, the version of 9iAS is Release 1.0.2.2.2a and Portal is 3.0.9.8.0.
My Oracle Database is 8.1.7
Second, it4s a new portal instance. It4s create when you install the 9iAS.
Third, I view the Apache logs and found this:
access_log
"GET /pls/portal30/portal30.home HTTP/1.1" 503 423
error_log
[error] mod_plsql: /pls/portal30/portal30.home HTTP-403 ORA-1017 <B>Proxy log On failed.</B><BR>Please verify that you have specified correct connectivity information i.e. username, password & connect-string in the DAD
Regards,
Mikel

Is there a way of making one portal instance serve several domain names ?

We have one Portal instance (3.0.8) that contains one Intranet, one Extranet and 5 Internet sites (Page hierarchies). After redirecting calls to the diffrent domains (sites) to their corresponding Portal page in the webserver, the URL reveals that we are actually running all these sites on the same Portal domain. I know that we can change the Portal domain by running the ssodatan script, but is it possible to have one portal instance work for several Portal domains ? I realise that this is probably far fetched, but I just had to ask... This will not create a big problem for us, it's mostly an esthetical issue.
Morten

Yes you can do this.
Your machine must have multiple IPs with a different name associated with each IP.
Look at the ssodatax scripts. This script allows you to make additional entries into the login server repository to register new names with the login server.
Add each name using the ssodatax script and you will be fine.

Make portal instance anonymous with WPC content

Hello,
We have portal instance running our intranet site. Currently we allow user to access this by login to it using LDAP authetication mechanism.
Our plan is to make it Anonymous. But we also have Wep Page Composer content and for that we want user to login first before editing any page.
So basically we want anonymous instance but allow login for editing WPC pages.
We are using Portal 7.0 SP16.
Thanks for your help/suggestion.
regards,
Jaish

Hi,
and where is the problem?
You'll have anonymous content and the WPC role is only assigned to a user / group.

Multiple Portal Instances and Cookie Names

i have three portal instances (3.0.7) under the same database 8.1.7 on NT.
for example:
portal30 + portal30_sso
myportal + myportal_sso
testportal + testportal_sso
actually i cannot work on more than one portal at the same time. so, each time i want to work under a particular portal i make sure i am not logged in the other two.
if i assign a different COOKIE NAME in the
GATEWAY for each DAD it will fix my problem?
any suggestion?
tks!!

i will appreciate some answer to this posting.
tks!

2 Portal Instances on Same Server

I am trying to create a second portal instance in a separate database on the same server. The 9iAS lives on another server. I have already successfully got the first portal up and running with web browser access. However, I'm not sure how to get the second portal up and running with that ssodatan script.
I tried specifying a separate port (7778) in that script and started a second port listening in httpd.conf, but this doesn't work. I also tried specifying a separate port and separate url (like portal302 and portal302_sso) in the http parts of that script, but this didn't work either.
Each portal has it's own login server installed, so I don't want to associate both portals with a single login server.
Can someone help me??? Thanks.

Kathryn,
Presumably you installed both Portal instances in different schemas (i.e. Portal30 and Portal309 etc.). If so, then all you will have to do is run the ssodatan script against each, referencing the exact http address for each. Once you have done this you should be able to contact both from the same http port (i.e. port 80) by referencing them in the URL (i.e. http://www.foo.com/pls/portal30 and http://www.foo.com/pls/portal309.

Local Portal instance in branch office

Are there any solutions for speeding up Portal for remote/branch office users?
We have a lot of users who will be accessing the corporate network & Portal over relatively slow lines or satellite links; buying more bandwidth is physically not an option in some places we operate.
Has anyone looked at installing a local Portal instances in the field, and replicating PCD content to still allow central administration?
Does SAP have any offerings in this space? Global/Federated Portal does not address the speed issue - users still go across the WAN to render their content. Portal Lite is still too slow.
Any and all ideas appreciated.
RBL

Well spoken - you can't speed up the speed of light.
Luckily, many of our content sources CAN be replicated to the branch offices. We use Lotus Notes/Domino for many web apps & web content; DFS (Microsoft replicated file system) for distributing files; and Exchange Public Folders for replicating commonly accessed email-type postings.
Have you (or anyone out there) found any solutions for keeping PCD updates in sync between a head office Portal and a branch office Portal?

How to add a new Portal instance in 10.1.2

In previous versions of AS,were able to create new portal instances by running the portal configuration assistant like this:
ptlasst -mode PORTAL -s <portal_schema_to_create> -c <db_conn> -p <password> -demo report
it was possible to have several independent portal schemas in one database, and it doesn't matter if it was the infrastructure database or a custom database. In this new release of AS (10.1.2.0.2) i didn't see anything in the documentation that refers this, i know that ptlasst was replaced by ptlconfig, but ptlconfig does not have any option like that one, or at least not that simple (with a little effort i was able to see what were the commands that repca executes to create a new portal, and changing them and executing them agaim i was able to create new portal schemas, but i dont believe that this is the rigth way to do it, its too hard).
Does anyone now if its possible to add new portal instances in the same database in AS10.1.2.0.2?
Thanks in advance,
Tony Cruz

You may want to refer to the Oracle Application Server Installation Guide for more information. Chapter 6, "Installing OracleAS Infrastructure" provides information about creating a new Metadata Repository in an existing database and in a new database.
To access the installation guide, go to the Oracle Application Server Documentation page on OTN:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/appserver.html
Under the 'Release Notes, Installation, and Upgrade Documentation' section, click 'View Library' for the platform on which you are performing the installation.

Two BI Systems connected to a single Portal instance?

Hello,
Is it possible to connect more than one BI system (7.0) to a single Portal instance? What would be required to do if that's the case? Thanks in advance for any information!
Cheers,
Hermann

Hi,
It is possible to add only one BI system to a single portal instance. This is because only one system object can be defined under portal as a BI master system.

Question about Multiple Portal Instances

WE HAVE iAS 1.0.2.2 ON W2000 SERVER AND
DB 8.1.7 ON ANOTHER W2000 SERVER.
WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PORTAL INSTANCES AND WE PLAN TO HAVE MORE IN THE FUTURE.
EACH PORTAL INSTANCE HAS ITS OWN LOGIN SERVER DAD.
EACH PORTAL INSTANCE REPRESENTS A DIFFERENT COMPANY.
WE ARE STILL IN DEVELOPMENT PHASE, TO ACCESS A PARTICULAR PORTAL INSTANCE WE USE
FOR EXAMPLE:
http://hostname/pls/DAD_INSTANCE1 http://hostname/pls/DAD_INSTANCE2
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS THE BEST SOLUTION TO ACCESS EACH PORTAL INSTANCE LIKE
http://company1.com http://company2.com
I WILL APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE.
TKS!!
null

You can set up those names, company1.com and company2.com in internal DNS server, if you have one. Or, get an official domain name. Once you get them, you need to modify httpd.conf accordingly. What we do next is modify index.html so an request for company1.com is redirected to /pls/DAD, which is portal home, using onload() javascript function. Then, you can get to portal home by typing http://company1.com as url.

Create multiple portal instances with only one database?

Can someone create multiple portal instances with only one database?
If so, how is this done, just by running the portal configuration wizard?
How are most people running with multiple developers working on portal? Do they share a portal instance, or create their own?
Thank you very much!
Phillip

i'm currently using 9ias rel 2(9.0.2) and i have install one infrastructure and two mid tier, hoping that this will create two portal, but it didn't. Can you please tell me how to do create two portal within one server.
thanks and regards;

Moving entire portal instance to new database

Does anyone have scripts for exporting/importing an entire portal instance? I'm moving my development database from Windows NT to a Sun box, and since I can't move the database directly I need to do a full portal export/import of all portal contents (pages, applications, content areas, etc.).
Thanks in advance.
Cecil...

Hi Cecil,
I have found the portal export/import routines to be a bit buggy. Try it with care. In moving from NT to Sun I have trusted the full database export/import and it worked out just fine.
On the Sun database just drop all the portal users (including portal30, portal30_sso, etc.). Then do a full database import on the Sun from the NT export. An important final note is to run the "ssodatan.sh" script to point to your new server.
Hope this helps.
Bob Bob,
Would you consider talking with me about this? I have a couple questions, like, if I'm moving to a new database then I won't have a PORTAL30 or PORTAL30_SSO to drop befoe the import, or do I install Portal into the new DB, then drop the users, then impoer, etc. If you can discuss this, please send contact info to [email protected]
Thanks!

One portal instance - multiple URLs & Pages

I have created multiple portal_home pages on one portal instance and would
like to redirect calls from two different URLs to specific Portal_home
pages. For example, when the user types in http://foo.us.oracle.com they
are redirected to http://foo2.us.oracle.com/pls/portal30/url/page/page1
and those who type http://foo2.us.oracle.com are redirected to
http://foo2.us.oracle.com/pls/portal30/url/page/page2. How can this be
done?
Thank You,
Justin
