UiXML in Portal 9iAS

Hi,
I am interested in developing some uiXML & BC4J screens and I want to deploy them within an existing 9iAS Portal application. Has anyone done this? I believe this could be done thru the Portal Java PDK mechanism - would this be right? And how does the SSO "lightweight user" concept used in Portal & 9iAS integrate with the BC4J & UIX components? There seems to be a yawning gap in my knowledge, could anyone help me or point me to the relevant documentation.
Thanks,
Steve West

one of our team members suggests the following:
Basically, the one thing I know of to recommend to the customer at this point is to use the portlet facet. Then, use the Java APIs to either create a
node tree and call render on it, or use the UINodeUtils to create the same from an XML file.
I hope this helps.

UiXML BC4J and Portal 9iAS

You may need to install JServer before you install Portal. See bulletin #132445.1 on Metalink which goes through preinstallation steps and states "JServer must be installed in the DB prior to installation of Portal. Your Installation will fail if it is not installed."

Jay,
We have now installed the Intermedia text option, but still get errors on the installation. (Portal version 3.0.8.9.8 NT).
After installation, we still get errors. These are generally "Synonym already exists" errors, even though we are starting with a blank database each time. The exact errors are.
"cannot create synonym wwctx_api_vpd for portal30_sso.wwctx_api_vpd name already used by an existing object"
"synonym owa_vpd_ctx, name already used by existing object"
We suspect these errors are causing the error message wwc-00000 to appear when we attempt to access the Login Server Administration page and create users.
Any ideas?
Regards, Matt.

Portal 9ias R2 PDK

I have 3 boxes running Infrastructure, 9iAS R2 and 9i database respectively. i am writing custom portlets using PL/SQL and many of these portlets refer to PORTAL objects.
my question is how do i refer to PORTAL packages that reside on the infrastructure database. my portlets (packages) reside in other 9i database.

Database portlets need to be on the same database as the portal.
They don't have to be in the same schema - you have to use the wwc/provsyns.sql to create synonyms for the relevant portal objects.

Create user problem in portal 9ias release 2

I have 9iAS release2 running. I am able to create new portal user. But when I try to create user using
wwsso_app_user_mgr.create_user and wwsec_api.add_portal_user I get
following error
ora-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
Any idea why?
How could I create portal user?
I need to create user automatically through scripts.
Thanks,
Diego

Diego,
I have been working on this problem as well, that of creating users and assigning them to groups via pl/sql. What I have found is that non of the wwsec apis work. It appears that al user and group stuff need to be managed via the DBMS_LDAP package. There are examples of adding users in the DBMS_LDAP reference. Adding and removing from groups is a little harder to find info on, but there is an example out there by Erwan Lancien (Ithink) that I hae been able to get to work for my situation with minor changes.
Try hitting this link for the discussion -> Re: FOREIGN KEY Constraint And Table Lock
Hope this helps,

Sample PL/SQL Portlet Source Code for Oracle Portal 9ias

Hi, I'm a newbie of Oracle Portal technology, and I have a problem:
I would create a PL/SQL portlet that realizes the following functions:
1) Retrieve the username of the portal user logged from WWCTX_API.GET_USER function.
2) Insert into an oracle db table two values about two hidden fields in the HTML FORM of the portlet.
3) Realize the insert commit through the click on the submit button on the Html form of the portlet. I would redirect by the same button to an other page url also.
I've never developed in Portal, and may be useful if someone could post me the source code of the SHOW MODE SECTION in the PROCEDURE SHOW of a SAMPLE PL/SQL PORTLET that realizes the upper functions.
Thanks a lot....

Hi
Here's the code from Helloworld_Portlet example:
procedure show
p_portlet_record wwpro_api_provider.portlet_runtime_record
is
l_portlet wwpro_api_provider.portlet_record;
begin
if (not is_runnable(
p_provider_id => p_portlet_record.provider_id
,p_reference_path => p_portlet_record.reference_path)
) then
raise wwpro_api_provider.PORTLET_SECURITY_EXCEPTION;
end if;
Retrieve the portlet information.
l_portlet := get_portlet_info(
p_provider_id => p_portlet_record.provider_id
,p_language => p_portlet_record.language
if (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW) then
if (p_portlet_record.has_title_region) then
Draw the portlet header and specify what links are available
from that header (i.e. details, customize, help, and about).
The has_title property is set at the page region level.
wwui_api_portlet.draw_portlet_header
p_provider_id => p_portlet_record.provider_id
,p_portlet_id => p_portlet_record.portlet_id
,p_title => l_portlet.title
,p_has_details => true
,p_has_edit => true
,p_has_help => true
,p_has_about => true
,p_referencepath => p_portlet_record.reference_path
,p_back_url => p_portlet_record.page_url
end if;
Draw the portlet borders.
The has_border property is set at the page region level.
wwui_api_portlet.open_portlet(p_portlet_record.has_border);
Display the content of the portlet in the show mode.
Use the wwui_api_portlet.portlet_text() API when
generating the content of the portlet so that the
output uses the portlet CSS.
htp.p(wwui_api_portlet.portlet_text(
p_string => 'Hello World - Mode Show'
,p_level => 1
if (p_portlet_record.has_border) then
wwui_api_portlet.close_portlet;
end if;
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW_ABOUT) then
Display the about page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Show About');
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW_EDIT) then
Display the edit page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Show Edit');
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW_HELP) then
Display the help page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Show Help');
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW_EDIT_DEFAULTS) then
Display the edit defaults page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Edit Defaults');
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_SHOW_DETAILS) then
Display the details page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Show Details');
elsif (p_portlet_record.exec_mode = wwpro_api_provider.MODE_PREVIEW) then
Display the preview page for the portlet.
htp.p('Hello World - Mode Show Preview');
end if;
end show;
I think you need to add this:
You can get the values of your html-form with this command:
v_hidden_1 varchar2(256);
v_hidden_2 varchar2(256);
v_hidden_1 := wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('name_of_hidden_1_in_html_form','p');
v_hidden_2 := wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('name_of_hidden_2_in_html_form','p');
You can get the actual URL with this command:
v_url := p_portlet_record.page_url;
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Mark

Error adding new users in Portal 9ias Release 2

We have just built a new OracleIAS Server using 9.0.2 with Portal installed. Everything works just fine with Portal until I try to add a new user. When I go into the administration section and click on "Create New Users" it returns a page cannot be displayed error.
The URL it is trying to access is: pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
I cannot find anything in the error_log files for the IAS Server.
1) Where would I find the errors logged by this process?
2) Anyone ever seen this before?
3) Any fixes?
Richard

Richard Richard,
I'm having the exact problem. I opened a TAR with Oracle, but do not have a resolution for it. Please let me know when you have a solution. I tried starting and restarting the OC4J_DAS service but still have the same problem.

Install Portal and Database with modem turned off?

I am about to install Oracle Portal 9iAS with Oracle 8i database in a Win2000 PC. I have a cable internet connection that uses DHCP to dynamically assign IP and DNS addresses. Would DHCP be a problem? Should I make the installation with the modem turned off?
Thank you very much,
Melissa

I installed Portal and Database on my machine at home which has both a public and private IP and there were NO problems doing it with the modem on and connected.

Migrating current web site to Portal

Where can I get information (hints, tips tricks) for migrating our current web services to Portal. We're running an Apache web
server and have a lot of content created through FrontPage. We also have several services provided via Perl .cgi scripts. Is there
some white paper or FAQ on how to proceed? We currently have Portal 9iAS vers 1 and my DBA is struggling to get vers 2 up and
running. Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.
Regards,
Ron

Hi,
I am also looking for a WhitePaper / Article that suggests some best practices, faq, etc. I will be shortly migrating some static & dynamic content from a WebServer to Portal & need to know some collected thoughts of wisdom.
Please do let me know about any leads on this.

Apache log analysis for portal page visits etc

We are about to go into production with Oracle Portal (9iAS rel 9.0.2.0.1).
I have been looking into how to gather statistics on web site usage and have concluded that I cannot get the information from within portal logs since many pages are served from the cache and there is no interaction with the database at all.
I think I need to, therefore, analyse the apache log files. Can anyone recommend a good 3rd party product for log analysis? I am also concerned that the portal specific urls might severely limit the usefullness of the data I can extract.
Has anyone used a log analysis tool in conjunction with Portal or knows of a product with a specific add-on for Oracle Portal (I have seen these for other portals and CMS products).
Any pointers appreciated, I am completely new to this area.
Peter.

Peter,
You might want to look at the "ClickStream Collector" that is included in a 9iAS installation.
I'm not sure if it will do what you want with Portal, but it's starting point.
Good luck!

Portal R2 and reports 6i

Is it possible to view a report 6i report from Portal R2?
The report exists on server1 running Reports 6i server and must be viewed by a server2 running Portal R2?
What components are necessary on server1 and server2 to achieve this?
We performed a basic portal installation on server2 and cannot find the reports security portlet in the Administer section. Some documentation said we must customise the page and set the portlet visible but we can't find it. Can anyone explain what additional steps are needed.
Thanking You.
S shah.

Suraj,
You need Reports 9i Services to communicate with Portal 9iAS R2. When installing Reports 9i services, it will automatically enable the Reports Security portlet in Portal r2. Then you can use Reports 9i services to run the 6i report.
Regards,
-Jeff
