Upgradation Guide for Weblogic Portal 4.0 to 8.1

If we have to upgrade the Weblogic Portal 4.0 to 8.1, what is the best way of doing
it?
Shall we directly upgrade 4.0 to 8.1 or need to do 4.0 to 7.0 and then 7.0 to
8.1?
How successful it would be? Is there any forseen issues while upgradation?

Hi, is there any update on the portal 4.0 to 8.1 migration path? Our team is faced
with this same problem. Migrate through portal 7.0 or rebuild our portal app
on 8.1

There are plenty of us out here looking at upgrading Portal 4.0. If we want to
upgrade to 8.1, what is the best approach?

Please reply to <email address removed by moderator> ASAP.

*** moderator note ***
I've removed your email address from the post because a) you are likely to get lots of spam in your email by publishing it in public and b) responses to issues should be posted on the forum, as this is not a personal support service where people should be contacting you directly.
Also please note that this is a forum of volunteers doing their own jobs, and leading their own lives, so to request help "ASAP" or "Urgently" etc. is not appropriate and considered very rude by many people. Such urgent issues suggest a live system that has got problems and a company is losing money or people's lives are at risk, in which case the issue should be raise via My Oracle Support (MOS) which is the paid-for support channel for Oracle.
The description of your issue, wanting to know more about a product before your training, is not an urgent issue. (Surely the point of the training is to learn it?)

Upgrading from BEA Weblogic portal 8.1.5 to BEA Weblogic Portal 10.3

We are upgrading from BEA Weblogic portal 8.1.5 to BEA Weblogic Portal 10.3. We just took over the project from some other vendor since last 9 months. At some of the places in the code, we are using internal APIs of Weblogic Server which should not have been used at the first place.
As weblogic has changed the version and internal structure as well as the classes also, We are facing problems in terms of compilation of the code itself.
The class "ServletRequestImpl" is giving us issues.
Has anybody faced the similar issues, if yes, please let me know.

Andy-
Since the Struts portlet support requires that struts app be converted to a module,
alternate message resources need to be accessed by modifying the bundle name by
appending the module name, since Struts doesn't automatically propogate the alternate
resources from the ServletContext to the Request when a module is selected.
For instance, in suppose your struts application module is /struts/myExample.
To access the alternate bundle from within that module, you'll need to specify
the bundle as alternate/struts/myExample.

Hi,
I'm trying to get the struts-example webapp from Struts 1.1 RC1 working
under
Weblogic Portal 8.1 with the JSR 168 and Struts support patch.
I am having problems with the message bundle properties files ApplicationResources.properties
and AlternateApplicationResources.properties as neither of these files
are being
picked up.
These files are located in org/apache/struts/webapp/example in WEB-INF/src
and
WEB-INF/classes of my webapp (i.e. <WEBAPP>/WEB-INF - my struts-example
resides
in <WEBAPP>/struts-example). I've also tried adding <init-param>'s to
the <WEB-APP>/WEB-INF/web.xml
file for the action servlet as follows:
<servlet> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> ... <init-param> <param-name>application</param-name>
<param-value>org.apache.struts.webapp.example.ApplicationResources</param-value>
</init-param> <init-param> <param-name>alternate</param-name> <param-value>org.apache.struts.webapp.example.AlternateApplicationResources</param-value>
</init-param> </servlet>
When I use the logon action as the starting action for the portlet, I
get:
Error opening /struts-example/logon.jsp. The source of this error is
javax.servlet.ServletException:
Cannot find message resources under key alternate at weblogic.servlet.jsp.PageContextImpl.handlePageException...
Any help would be appreciated.

Help me to add some libraries for WebLogic Portal project

My Web portal project (10.3.2) that was created with Oracle Enterprise pack for Eclipse with some custom configurations:
- Beehive controls
- Beehive netUI
- Struts 1.2
- WebLogic Control Extension 10.2
- full feature for "WebLogic portal"
- "Portal application controld 10.3.2" and "Portal framework beehive adapter" support in WebLogic Portal (optional)
I need these packages to process some user and group informations:
- com.bea.p13n.controls.ejb.usermgmt
- com.bea.p13n.controls.userInfoQuery
- com.bea.portal.tools.security.group
- com.bea.portal.tools.security.user
My problem is impossible to import these package (except: com.bea.p13n.controls.ejb.usermgmt). I've read carefully API Javadoc for these package informations but it cannot help anymore.
Anybody can tell me what libraries should be added to project to solve my problem ?
Thank in advance.
Ps:
This is my screenshot for project configuration:
http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll10/docphongm41/screenshot/screenshot.png

Thank Kevin.
I've fix my problem by adding some jar files, such as war-classes.jar which can be found in workspace/.metadata/.plugin/oracle.eclipse.tools.weblogic/libraries/wlp-tools-ugm-web-lib_10.3.2_10.3.2/1/WEB-INF/lib
So, I can use UserID class in my source code without any error notification on Eclipse. Everything sound to be okay, but it isnt. When I initialize an UserID object in my pageflow controller class like this:
UserID uid = new UserID("::security:user");
String uname = uid.getUserName();I'll get an exception:
com.bea.netuix.nf.UIControlException: com.bea.portlet.adapter.scopedcontent.ActionLookupFailedException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/bea/portal/tools/security/user/UserIDI don't know why JVM cannot found my imported class though I've already added library and imported this class to the source.

Need WLST for Weblogic portal domain 9.2.2.

Hi,
I am very much in-need of it. Can you please provide me the Need WLST for Weblogic portal domain 9.2.2.
Actually, we are using weblogic 9.2.2 version.
Actually, I created a portal domain configiuration using configuration wizard and the same I documented with screen shots.
Now I need the wlst for the same configuration which i created the doc for.
Please can you help me out doing this.
If you are ok, then I will share you my doc, so that you can help me out easily.
Please please please................
Thanks in Advance..

You have a few options to build a WLST script from the admin/config operations that you have performed in your development environment using console.
OPTION 1: (WLST Recording)
Check the below video. (The only drawback is that this video talks about the WLST recording feature which is available only on WLS10.0. Ofcourse, if you have a 10.0 installation you can still use this feature and then make some small modifications to the generated script to make it suitable for 9.2)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luhBaviP2uM
OPTION 2: (Converting the configuration to a script)
After you have configured your entire domain using the console, you run the configToScript command as per the below documentation (To run this you need to invoke WLST and then run the command with appropriate arguments such as path to the config.xml file etc)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs92/config_scripting/reference.html#wp1154848
Then you can use the generated script to create similar domains in your Test AND Production environments.

Upgrade guide for users of older versions of Flash Media Server?

I'm looking around to see if anyone has sort of done a crossover or upgrade guide for people with older FMS installations.
We've been running the server since at least version 2, and haven't had to change much in upgrading to subsequent versions.
In doing so, we hadn't had to change to some of Adobe's newer ways of doing things with regards to configuration files, etc.
In setting up a test 4.5.x server, though... it appears we will likely want to really change the way we are doing things.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a comprehensive site that would sort of cover topics in a "if you did this this way before, do it this way now" sort of instructions.
Thanks

we just moved from 3.5 to 4.03 and now the sound has 'hiccups' - looked thru forum and made some changes but still happening - be nice like you said if there was a 'your using this version, and this is what you need to do in the next' area

OEPE support for Weblogic Portal 10.3.0?

Hi,
I was referred to this forum by Konstantin:
replace Oracle Workshop for Weblogic with OEPE?
Does anyone know if Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse has tooling support for developing portlets/portals for Weblogic Portal 10.3.0?
Kevin

Thanks for your reply, Brad. It is WLP 10.3.
Unfortunately, since other components of the Oracle stack that we use are unsupported by OEPE, OEPE isn't going to be an option for us:
OEPE support for ODSI 10gR3?
OEPE support for OSB 10gR3?

ADF Support for weblogic portal

Hi
How we can use adf tags and functionality and develop portlet for weblogic portal . What are the required Jar files needs to be imported for that.

One possibility, if you still want to use WLP on the consumer side, is to develop the ADF views/taskflows in a WebCenter portlet producer app, then consume them as portlets over WSRP in WLP. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_intro_portlets.htm#CIHDEBBJ has information about making portlets in WebCenter, and there's documentation at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15919_01/wlp.1032/e14235/chap_webcenter_interop.htm#i1006380 about the interop between WebCenter and WLP.

Problem in creating a build.xml for weblogic portal application

Team ,
I am facing problem in creating the build.xml using weblogic.BuildXMLGEN tool .
a) Below is the structure of my portal application
SrcCode
--- .metadata (eclipse plugins folder)
--- B2BApp ( Ear Content)
--- b2bPortal ( portal related file(controllers,jsp)
--- b2bsrc (java src)
b) Now I executed below utility to generate the build.xml "
java weblogic.BuildXMLGen -projectName B2BApp -username weblogic -file build.xml -password welcome1 F:\srcCode"
c) Based on the above step , build.xml got generated .
d) when I execute "ant compile" target from the command prompt , I see the below exception
ant compile
Buildfile: build.xml
compile:
+[wlcompile] [JAM] Warning: failed to resolve class AbstractJspBacking+
+[wlcompile] [JAM] Error: unexpected exception thrown:+
+[wlcompile] com.bea.util.jam.internal.javadoc.JavadocParsingException: Parsing failure in F:\b2bNew\b2bPortal\src\portlets\b2b\dmr\Picker\PickerController.java at line 58.+
e) I suspect , the problem is bcoz of classpath issues , as I generated build.xml donot have the references to dependent lib's.As build.xml looks like below :
+<target name="compile" description="Only compiles B2BApp application, no appc">+
+<wlcompile srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${dest.dir}">+
++
++
++
+.....+
+....+
Please help me to reslove these issues .
PS: I able to deploy the application using 10.3.2 weblogic workshop ( i.e inbuilt eclipse )

i JaySen ,
thanks for your response. As mentioned we added all the necessary library within the -librarydir but still we see the same error :
+[JAM] Error: unexpected exception thrown:+

===================
a) this is a upgrade project [ upgrading from wlp 8.1.4 to 10.3.2 ]
i.e we are using weblogic portal 10.3.2 version.
b) Searched some sites/forums regarding the above error, and it says something related to "jwsc" ant task [ i.e while compiling a webservice(JWS) ], but we see this error while compiling a normal controller(jpf) class :(
c) we are using "ant compile" target which internally calls wlcompile task , while executing wlcompile this error is thrown .
Help Appreciated
Thx,

Custom login module for weblogic portal 10.3.2

Hi everyone
i want to develop a custom portal login module for weblogic..
can anyone help me out with details how can i implement it ...any links provided will ve very useful
Thanks in advance.

The credentials given on that page are wrong for 10.3.2. (They might be correct for 10.3, but that's not my problem.) I found the correct credentials -- weblogic / webl0gic -- at this URL:
weblogic portal 10.3.2 sample domain admin console question
It's also given correctly in section 6 of the Getting Started Guide, but you have to know to look there first.

Quick start guide for WL Portal 10.0 required

Hi all,
I am new to BEA WebLogic Portal but have a lot of experience on open-source portal frameworks. After downloaded a copy of the latest 10.0 version I want to have a try how it looks like. What I want is a quick start guide which will answer the following two questions.
1) I think there is an example portal installed with a full installation of WL Portal 10.0, how to start up the server and access the url?
- Start up script seems to be $WL_HOME/samples/domains/portal/startWebLogic.sh
2) A quick start guide is required to demonstrate how to deploy a JSR 168 portlet inside WL Portal.
Thanks in advance,
X. Yang

hi
i havent used 10.0 but if you check the logs/system.out it should print out which ip and port the server is listening on when it starts up and using that login to the console or u can check the config files for the ip/port(ip:port/console) and weblogic/weblogic and you should be able to find out from your deployed ear and its descriptors what the url to access the app is
I assume your not using windows because then there is an entry in your program files.

Doc link for Weblogic Portal to Webcenter Migration.

Hi All,
Is there any doc which explains the migration from Weblogic Portal to Webcenter?
--Sachin

Sachin,
I'm afraid there will not be any upgrade path from any Oracle Portal product to WebCenter Portal.
Hopefully, a partner or another customer will develop a possible scenario or some service to migrate in your case WebLogic Portal to WebCenter.
I know there is such an initiative for migrating Oracle Portal to WebCenter, but I haven't heard of such an initiative for WLP.
Good luck in your search.
Regards,
Rob

-Created Simple WLP Application with JSF Portlets and deployed them on WLS 10.3.4 domain.
-The WSDL url available is http://localhost:7003/TEST_WEB_PORTAL/producer?wsdl
-Now Open JDev and created WCP Framwork app
-Under Application Resource, right click on Connections -> New Connection -> WSRP Producer.
-Click Next on step1 -> Enter WSDL URL on Step 2 and then click next on next 3 screens.
-It tries to register but ended up with below exception:

Hi,
I tried creating a simple JSF portlet and I can able to register and it is working Fine, but my teammet got the same issue like you :) . While Analyzing what I found is , the location where we created the portlet in weblogic portal. If you created your portlet directly under WebContent folder then this issue is coming up, so try to create the portlet in a folder inside the WebContent folder, say create a folder with name portlets under webcontent and create the JSF portlet inside that portlets folder.
Now start the server and register the same in WebCenter, you will not get that exception. I am going to raise a ticket with Oracle about this issue and get the root cause.
Thanks
