  • How can I customize the whole oracle webcenter portal

    We have a project that uses oracle webcenter portal. I want to customize it starting to its landing page til the content. I tried using extending webcenter spaces project but my build.xml has an error in clicking clean-stage. I followed the instructions correctly but still not working. I also tried following the tutorial about customizing at runtime, it works but its only for a specific tab. Is there any other way in customizing the product?
    here is the error in build.xml:

    It assumes that you have this file available in your jdev
    ${jdeveloper.install.home.directory}/modules/net.sf.antcontrib_1.0.0.0_1-0b2/lib/ant-contrib.jar
    Add ant-contrib.jar into jdeveloper\modules\net.sf.antcontrib_1.0.0.0_1-0b2\lib directory. You can download it from http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/.

    I have already installed Oracle Database 11g Release 2 -------
    ----Then i configured JAVA Access bridge
    --------then installed and configured Required Schema using Repository Creation Utility of same version of Database 11g,
    -----------then installed Oracle Business Intelligence 11g version 11.1.1.6.0 which includes Web logic..............I am feeling that i did right at this point...........
    ..............also feeling comfortable after install Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g ..................
    -----------------but don't know how to configure OID to install Oracle Portal Forms Reports and Discoverer 11g...............
    Please help my Oracle Friends
    Your early help will be highly appreciated.
    thanks and regards
    Hassan

    You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
    In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
    First look for this link then drill into it:
    Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
    In this section you will find the following:
    This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 2 (Forms & Reports)
    Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 (11.1.2.0.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) V28761-01
    This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 1 (includes Portal, Forms, Reports, and Disco)
    Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 1 of 4) V18785-01
    Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 2 of 4)

    Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 4 of 4)
    This is the FMw 11 Release 1 patch set that will bring the above 11.1.1.2.0 installation to 11.1.1.6.  This is NOT a full product installation - just a patch
    Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patch Set 5 (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) V29850-01
    There are no patch sets for Release 2 as of yet.

  • URGENT - Oracle 9i, Oracle 9iAS, and Oracle 9iAS Portal Installation Problem

    ERROR :
    1. Objects with type JAVA CLASS with more than 30 characters are truncated to 30 characters
    2. There are only 30 objects with type JAVA CLASS are installed (instead of 334) mentioned on the troubleshooting guide
    3. Oracle9iASHttpService automatically stops after starting the service
    Environment :
    Windows 2000 Server
    Oracle 9i 9.0.1.1.1
    Oracle 9iAS 3.0.9.8.2 (Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2.2a)
    PDK Services for Java version 3.0.9.0.4 (from Patch used to install 3.0.9.8.2)
    Patches 8.1.7.1.1, 8.1.7.1.5, 3.0.9.8.2
    I installed the Oracle 9i, 9iAS, Portal and the patches based on the installation instructions (http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/DOCUMENTATION/INSTALL_GUIDE_9I.PDF)
    I tried adding the Sample Web Provider I got ORA-29531 error on HttpProviderDispatcher. Then I checked the Patch 8.1.7.1.1 installation, they are some scripts that need to be run that was not part of the 9i/9iAS installation instruction. I run the suggested scripts(catalog.sql, catproc.sql and utlrp.sql) and modified the jserv.properties to point the xsqlconfig.xml to ORACLE_HOME\oracore\admin.
    The error still persisted. From the Troubleshooting PDK Services for Java, one of the suggestion is to run the sql command :
    Select object_name, object_type, status from user_objects where object_name like '%HttpProvider%';
    which resulted to an object with name '/3334f18_HttpProviderDispatche' without the 'r' at the end
    and
    Select count(object_name) from user_objects where object_type='JAVA CLASS';
    which resulted to only 30 VALID object. According to the installation instruction, there are supposedly 334 objects.
    I checked the object_name of the other JAVA CLASS objects, all the names of the objects are all less than 30 characters. It looks like that the objects with the object_name > 30 are truncated to 30 characters.
    Then I rebooted the machine, when the machine went back on Oracle9iASHttpService stops automatically after it has been started.

    I have posted question on that thread and there is no specific solution from our problem. From the Oracle PDK Troubleshooting PDK Services for Java, it looks like there is a problem on the Oracle Portal installation. I tried recompiling the packages and my problem worsened. Now I cannot start the Oracle9iAS HTTP Service.

  • Install Oracle 9iAS - Portal & infrastructure

    Hi,
    I installed Oracle 9iAS Infrastructure in c:\OraHome. When I try to install Oracle 9iAS - Portal and Wireless in the next step, it seems not possible to install this product in the same Oracle home (c:\OraHome). Will this cause problems later ? Where can I find information which explains the general concept of 'homes'. If the products are in different homes can Portal and SSO service still draw information from the same database ?
    Kind regards,
    Rene Heuven
    PCA Mobile

    Oracle Application Server middle tiers (Portal for example) needs to exist in a separate Oracle Home from Identity Management or Metadata Repository. Please refer to the installation guide.

  • 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:

    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.

    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.

  • Discoverer Portlet provider Register with Oracle AS Portal

    Hi All,
    I am trying to register the Discoverer portlet provider with Oracle AS Portal. I could able to launch the portal homepage successfully by giving the following url
    http://<host.domain>:<port>/pls/portal
    But, when I clicking the "login" to login it is giving me an error...
    I also ensured that OssoIPCheck parameter to be off in mod_osso.conf file.
    Please let me any configuration I need to do as part of this registeration. Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards
    Venkat

    Hi Michael,
    Thanks a lot for the prompt response. Actually we are going to provide an Oracle BI solution using OWB, Discoverer, Oracle 10g to one of our clients. And we personally feel that using Oracle 10g AS will prevent many unexpected problems in the application.
    But the decision of choosing the portal tool is pending at the clients side and we need to help them out with the better options.
    they are also looking for IBM websphere, and IBM has said that they have a portlet factory builder that helps portal to integrate with any other portlets.
    Is it so that the ability to integrate any kind of portlet lies with the portal independent of the kind of portlet?
    In our case... does it mean that IBM portal can integrate the discoverer portlet even if Discoverer does'nt provide for integration with non-Oracle portal?

  • Problem with LDAP in BEA Portal

    Problem with LDAP in BEA Portal
    I have a list of 50 user which should be cerated in portal staging(devlopment) machine and should be transfered to
    production machine using LDAP
    Steps which i followed to create Users
    1.Create User Profile with 2 parameters branch and Role
    2.I have list user in the Xls file with Username,password ,branch and Role
    3.Write a java File which will read the Xls File
    4.The users are created in the staging machine for the portal
    Steps which i followed in LDAP to tranfer the created User form Devlopment to Production
    1.Export the created user from Devlopment (which was moved as .DAT in my local directory)
    2.import the user from local direcory to production machine
    The Users are imported in the production machine with username and password but the role and branch values are empty
    We need a solution for importing the user with role and branch corresponding to each user.
    Thanks in Adv
    Suresh

    In Portal 8.1, user name and password in stored in LDAP where as user profile values are stored in database. That is the reason you are not able to see the user profile values.
    Check once again whether you can see these values through admin tool. In case,it is not(after confirmation again),you might have to use APIs to do this for you incase you dont want to manage through Admin Tool.
    Thanks,

  • I met problem when installing Oracle 8.1.6 on Turbo Linux 7.0

    I met problem when installing Oracle 8.1.6 on Turbo Linux 7.0.
    After setting up environment variables, and successfully
    accessed KDE interface, everything was going on well.
    The process of installation blocked at 80% in "Database Creation

    Help!

    I have done some oracle installations over RedHat 7.0 (not certificated):
    Let's check some things:
    1- You must have changed very few parameters on your shm.h sem.h files which are in /usr/include/linux directory.
    2- You need to upgrade the glibc and libstdc libraries (.rpm)
    3- You must have installed the jre116_v5 on /usr/jre and made a symbolic link like this
    ln -s /usr/jre/jre116_v5 /usr/local/jre
    4- You must include in the CLASSPATH parameter the jre116_v5 directory. It should look something like this
    CLASSPATH=/usr/jre/jre116_v5:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib
    5- Be sure to create and export all the parameters in your .bash_profile.
    6- Run the ./runInstaller.sh in a terminal window inside the Xwindow.
    You can find the jre116_v5 in www.backdown.org
    I hope these tips help you

  • Probleme to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Mandrake 9.1

    Hi,
    I have some problem to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Mandrake 9.1.
    I log on a non root user and launch "./runInstaller" but nothing happens. It's only written "please wait"...
    I see on the Oracle site that I must use glibc 2.1 but only if Oracle is already installed? So if you could give me some indications?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have also the same problem : when I launch the program "./runInstaller", nothing appears.
    However, I thought I found a good solution on a forum, but it doesn't run.
    The explication is given at the following address :
    http://colalug.org/ml-archive/0210/msg00051.html
    The only point where I'm not sure is when it's said to use a specific library in the "LINUX STUFF" section. They are using glibc2.1 and I'm using glibc2.3.
    I have also changed the "ASSUME_KERNEL" variable to the version of my kernel, that's 2.4.21.

  • Where to download and how to install Oracle AS Portal ?

    Greetings,
    I'm using portal servers from BEA, IBM and JBoss since several years. I bought a book on Oracle AS Portal which showed me a couple of interesting things I wanted to look at. Surprinsingly enough, this book doesn't start as normally, with how to download and install the product. This already seemd a little bit wear to me. But when I tried to find by myself the Oracle AS Portal bundle to download and install, I didn't find anything. Looking in the Oracle AS 10.1.3 documentation, it seems that Oracle AS Portal is not a part of it. I finally managed myself to find some documentation saying that in order to install the last version of Oracle AS Portal, one should install Orackle AS 10.1.2.0.2 and upgrade afterward to Orcale As Portal 10.1.4. Yes, but when I tried to install Oracle AS 10.1.2.0.2, I dind' find any option concerning the portal. There OC4J, ther is Infrastructure (identity management and other things), development kits but not portal.
    So could someone explain what does this big mistery around Oracle As Portal mean exactly and how to download and install it quickly ?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Nicolas

    First you would need to install the infrastructure which in itself should include the Identity Management and the metadata repository, which portal uses. Then after you're done with that, you can then start the installer again and choose to install the application server (the middle tier). When you're installing the Application Server, it asks for more options. You may choose just to install a J2EE server..in your case if you want portal choose the corresonding option that contains portal. If you're wanting to install Forms/Reports services, you'll need to select the corresponding option. Hopes this helps you get started.

  • Problem in installing Oracle 9i R2 on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise

    We are having problem installing the Oracle 9i R2 Server on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition. During installation, it generates error saying "The IP Address of the machine not found". When clicking the "Continue" button, it tries to install other things but few minutes later it asks to stop complete installation or installation of that feature.
    But when we installed it on Windows XP it works fine and we have no problem in configuring it. What's the problem with Windows 2003 Server?
    If we drop the idea of installing it on Windows 2003 Server, can we make Windows XP maching as a Server?

    ORACLE asumes that the first network device you have on your server has a fixed IP address.
    Is this the case?
    If not so you should install a loopback adapter as network device with a fixed IP.
    Does this help?

    Hi,
    you have two option to start your oracle service. your problem is your oracle serivce is not start.
    for that you can start manully....
    like
    on command prompt.
    cmd>net start oracleservice<sid>
    or
    you can set automatic for oracle service.
    go services window. start >>>> run >>>> services.msc <<<enter>>>
    check and select oracle services and right click and set automatic..
    every time your system is reboot then oracle service is automatically is start.
    regards
