Upgrade of IAS and Portal

Hi!!
i Have installed ias 1.0.2.1 with portal 3.0.8.9.8 and i have
applications running with web toolkit and Portal and i want to
upgrade ias and portal, because for five six months all is
working fine but now portal crashes several times in the day.but
i want all my applications in Portal to work after upgrading.
What are the correct steps to upgrade all? i will need a backup
of my portal scheme i supose????
Can anyone say me how to perform this upgrade.
Thanks in advance

There is a PDF covering the required steps for migrating from 1.0.2.1 to 1.0.2.2. You can find it at http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/content.htm. It is under the Windows NT/2000 heading, updated Dec 21, 2001.

8i IAS and Portal 3

What is the difference between Oracle 8i Internet Application Server and Portal 3.0 EA? Can they both exist together? Portal 3.0 includes Apache Web Server, allows Java Server Pages, PLSQL Server Pages and XML, so why would you use IAS?
Clarification please.

I have just got a pack of CDs from Oracle, including Oracle Internet Application Server 8i R1.0.1.0.0. The Documentation CD references WebDB v2.2. So I take it that IAS 8i doesn't include Portal 3.0 - correct? in which case it would be backward step to install IAS - correct? Now, I've looked at the online blurb on Oracle 9i IAS and can't work out which version of WebDB that comes with - can you tell me?. Also, can I install 9i IAS on the same machine as 8i server?

Portal upgrade without iAS upgrade

I have upgraded my Portal instance from 3.0.6 to 3.0.6.
But I didn't upgrade my iAS instance, and I got this message at login:
"Call to WPG_SESSION API Failed.Error-Code:6550"
I read somewhere that the problem might be, that I didn't upgrade iAS 1.0.2.0-> 1.0.2.2
Is it possible to use only the mod_plsql module of the iAS 1.0.2.2 with the upgraded Portal 3.0.8?
Will it work, or I must upgrade my whole iAS to 1.0.2.1 and to 1.0.2.2. Then why give Oracle the Portal upgrade script?
Thanks.
Paszty

Thank you for your quick answer.
I've got another question.
Where can I find the iAS upgrade scripts?
We have got iAS 1.0.2.1 and 1.0.2.2 install CDs, but we didn't find any upgrade options.
We have got now an upgraded Portal 3.0.8. Which iAs upgrade must we use? 1.0.2.1 or 1.0.2.2 or both?
Thank you.

SSO and Portal down after upgrade from AS 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.3

SSO and Portal is down after upgrade from AS 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.3. All others are running fine. Any similiar experience and solution?
Thanks.
Andy

cn=XXX information is missing for the SSO Server (orasso) when going to http://servername:7777/pls/orasso/orasso.home. Is that causing the problem? If so, how can I resolve it?
Thanks.

ALERT: 8.1.7.1 Upgrade Overwrites iAS OWA

I'm poting the following for those of who who don't have access to Metalink (let me know if I'm not supposed to do this) and because I have an issue with what it says:
Doc ID: Note:143368.1
Subject: ALERT: 8.1.7.1 Upgrade Overwrites iAS OWA Packages
Type: ALERT
Status: PUBLISHED
Content Type: TEXT/PLAIN
Creation Date: 26-APR-2001
Last Revision Date: 15-MAY-2001
This alert was modified on:
15-May-2001 to clarify which iAS versions are affected.
Bug:1745320 8.1.7.1 Install Overwrites iAS OWA Packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Versions Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This problem is related to the installation of the 8.1.7.1 or
8.1.7.1B patch sets where the database is used by iAS-based
mod_PLSQL applications (such as Oracle Portal).
This problem only affects existing installations of iAS 1.0.2
where the database is upgraded after the iAS installation has
been performed.
Platforms Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This problem is GENERIC - it affects all platforms.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
The upgrade of a database to 8.1.7.1 reinstalls the default OWA packages
which can cause iAS applications to fail with errors such as ORA-6502.
The errors occur as iAS 1.0.2 based product require a newer version of
the OWA packages than is supplied with 8.1.7.1.
Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may encounter problems if you use iAS 1.0.2 products with 8.1.7.0
and then upgrade the database to 8.1.7.1.
If you install 8.1.7.1 and then subsequently install iAS you will not
encounter this problem.
Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Possible symptoms include errors of the form:
ORA-6502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error:
Bulk bind: Error in define (WWV-11230)
Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~
The preferred workaround is to re-install the OWA packages supplied
with iAS AFTER the database has been upgraded to 8.1.7.1. This requires
you to run the "owaload.sql" script supplied with iAS when connected
as SYS. Before running this script ensure the fix for bug 1671234 /
bug 1680043 is present.
eg:
1. cd $IAS_HOME/portal30/admin/plsql/owa
2. Check that "owacomm.sql" has been modified to avoid
bug 1671234 / 1680043. To do this edit "owacomm.sql"
and change the line:
spool ..\..\portal\...\owaldscr.sql
to read:
spool owaldscr.sql
3. Connect to the database as SYS and execute:
@owaload.sql owaupd.log
An alternative workaround (before running the 8.1.7.1 upgrade script)
is to edit the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql script and comment
out the line "@@owacomm.sql" . When using this option remember that
any new database created will have NO OWA packages loaded when catproc
is executed.
Patches
~~~~~~~
There is no patch for this problem. The problem will be addressed
in future patch sets.
References
~~~~~~~~~~
Base bug describing the problem [BUG:1745320]
My issue:
The spool line is not present in my 'owacomm.sql' file, so I ran the 'owaload' as indicated and SQL*Plus bombed out.
I edited a very similar line to the one described above, but located in the 'owaload.sql' script and referring to a 'wpildscr.sql'. When I run this, it reports 'SP2-0024: Nothing to change.' -- is this reliable?

John, this is a simple workaround, regardless..
In the 8.1.7.2.1 patch docs it also tells you how to pre-empt the whole problem anyway. Not that I'm finding 8.1.7.2.1 very stable either.

IAS
IAS is Oracle's next evolution of the web server and application server
product technology superceeding the Web Application Server (WAS) and Oracle
Application Server (OAS) product lines.
IAS SERVLET API JSP API EJB API EJE VERSION
VERSION VERSION VERSION VERSION SUPPORTED
9I(1.0.2) 2.2 1.1 1.1 817
8i(1.0.1-NT) 2.0 1.0 1.0 816
8i(1.0.0-UNIX) 2.0 1.0 1.0 816
The IAS product contains two Java Virtual Machines (JVM) within it's
architecture.
They are called :
1) APACHE JSERV servlet engine
2) ORACLE ENTERPRISE JAVA ENGINE (EJE)
APACHE JSERV servlet engine
The APACHE JSERV servlet engine is an EXISTING product licensed from the
apache group which supports the servlet api 2.0.ONLY.
The APACHE JSERV product does not support ANY JSP's unless the customer
installs a third party jsp engine.
The IAS 8i/9i which has the APACHE JSERV product embedded in it, comes with
Oracle's JSP engine (OJSP) already integrated into it. OJSP supports JSP's up
to the specific JSP engine version documented in the Oracle Universal
Installer (OUI) for the 8.1.7 RDBMS or the IAS products. It is also documented
in the product's release notes.
Oracle ENTERPRISE JAVA ENGINE (EJE)
The EJE formerly known as :
1) Oracle 8i Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
2) JSERVER component,
3) Aurora JVM
was originally releas ed in the RDBMS 8.1.5 database with jdk 1.1.6 based java
support.
The currently supported versions of the Oracle 8i RDBMS, versions 2 and 3,
also known as Version 8.1.6 and 8.1.7, respectively, provides a jdk 1.2.1
based java virtual machine support.
"EJE" Version 816
This EJE, found in rdbms 8.1.6 and IAS 8i, contains support for the ejb
api 1.0, corba, and java stored procedures.
"EJE" Version 817
This EJE, found in rdbms 8.1.7 and IAS 9i, contains support for the ejb,
corba, and java stored procedures as well as the Oracle Servlet Engine (OSE)
which provides support for the servlets 2.2 api and JSP 1.1 api.
Note :
EJB support in the "EJE" Version 817 has been upgraded to comply with the EJB
1.1 api specification which includes "entity beans" support.
What is the bottom line ??
1) Servlets deployed to the APACHE JSERV must comply with servlet api 2.0.
2) Servlets 2.1 or higher are only supported in EJE's OSE component found in
the rdbms 817 or ias 9i products. Servlets api 2.0 can also run in the OSE.

which jvm is used by jserv ?? EJE or a separate jdk ?
The Jserv servlet engine is running in a separate jdk JVM external to the EJE jvm which is embedded within the "database" component of ias and the RDBMS.
See the reference below for more details ...
if jserv only support old apis, why it is in oracle's products ?
i would assume that the oracle servlet engine was under development when ias 8i was released and became available in time for the ias 9i and rdbms 817 products.
looking back in history leads me to believe ias 8i was a migration path to get to ias 9i or rdbms 817.
Based upon the long history of new releases of every oracle product being upgraded with new features, it's reasonable to assume that these products will continue to evolve.
when I deploy a jsp how to deploy in the right servlet container ("EJE") ?
as documented in the reference below, you can deploy JSP's to either the apache jserv jvm or the EJE since the ORACLE JSP engine functionality is in both jvm's.
there are many posts where you can see that people have deploy in jserv and they have problems because they don't use the right container (servlet 2.0 instead of
servlet 2.2) http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum2/HTML/006349.html
when ias 8i came out this was clearly an issue since servlet support was at api 2.0, and the current servlet api was probably at 2.1.
oracle clearly made every effort to get ias 9i released quickly to supply a servlet 2.1 and 2.2 capable engine to resolve this issue.
since ias 9i and rdbms 8.1.7 are available this is no longer an issue.
The reference below explains the architecture and understanding it would eliminate a lot of "deploy to the wrong ias 9i component" issues.
so why jserv is bundled with oracle 8i/9ias since EJE support the right api version ?
if in ias 9i release , oracle had removed the jserv component without any advance warning, many customers would have been very upset since oracle makes every attempt to give advance notice before removal of functionality.

Eclipse build error for R/3 WSDL file and Portal 6.0.2

I have had some problems getting a .wsdl from R/3 ABAP to work when using the eclipse plug-ins. Eclipse will read the .wsdl and create the classes for the service, however, the build will fail and opening the class up you see the methods are all empty.
public class P_YEAR {

I can get the new Netweaver developer tool for 6.4 to work on a new crash portal box running WAS 6.4 and portal 6.0.9. I don't think our upgrade will be done before the current project I am on needs to move. So, I am trying to get EP 6.2 to work. Our ABAP engine will remain WAS 6.2. I am using eclipse 2.1 and jdk 1.3.1_08. I have tried jdk 1.4. I have also tried eclipse 3.0, but the plug-ins don't even work in the new version.
I am using plug-in version 6.2.20040517
Any ideas on what we are doing wrong. The only note I saw from SAP was 705106. However, it didn't seem to make since because the error is not in the portal it is locally when trying to use the plug-in to generate the service.

Hi,
here an uodate of the progress I am making to solve the problem described above.
Due to the output of the logfile (User not authorized), I think the "Administration" user does not have enough rights to perform the required actions needed for the installation.
Well, I looked it up (Visual Administrator --> Cluster --> Server 0 ... --> Services --> Security Provider -->Runtime --> Policy Configurations --> "service.naming" in "Components" List --> Security Roles).
According to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas630/helpdata/en/de/83343ecc7f892ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm, all users and groups that are granted permission "jndi_all_operations" can perform all operations available in the naming system.
I checked and found out that jndi_all_operations is merely a role reference to security role "administrators". Group "Administrators" is assigend to security role "administrator". As I mention before, user "Administrator" is member of group "Administrators". I think user "Administrator" has been granted all required permissions.
Am I wrong, what else could cause such an error message! Need some guideance.

LOAD BALANCE (CSS) and Portal Port Number based on Instance Number

Hi,
My doubt is about LOAD BALANCE (CSS) and Portal Port Number based on Instance Number.
I have to install 3 servers machines and 2 servers databases cluster. There will be a HIGH AVAILABILITY environment. There will be a MIGRATION and UPGRADE.
Today there are 2 servers machines in Windows NLB. Today my production Portal is 6 6.20.
Once, I did something for LABORATORY TEST. Migration (6 6.40) and Upgrade (7.0)in two other machines. But they were with Windows NLB. When I did the installation, for each server machine and during the instalation I had to give one Instance Number for each and in result there was a different Port Number for each.
But I accessed both machines throught a virtual url(dns) with a specific port number. And it works!
NOW, with a HARDWARE LOAD BALANCE _ CSS I don't know how to do.
A guy who works with it tell us that couldn't redirect one Port Number for different port numbers. He couldn't configure the CSS like this.
My question is: Is he write? And if he is, there is a way to give the same instance number for my 3 new Portal servers machines? Example: 5(02)00.
Could you understand?
I need help.
Regards,
cheers,
Nivia

Nivia,
I have used F5 for load balancing, I am sure you can do the same with CSS. Yes, you can configure a virtual IP on the load balancer with standard ports (80 or 443) and load balancing the traffic to multiple servers with different ports. You can have different ports for each instance.

BEx web problem after upgrade: hierarchy variable and OK button

Hi experts,
we are busy in an upgrade project in which both portal and BW are being upgraded to 7.40.
After upgrading we find several problems in which we get stuck.
First problem: every query that has a variable on an infoobjects marked with a hierarchy does not work in Java Web.
As soon as we press the lookup button the browser freezes.
In ABAP web en Bex analyzer everything is OK.
Our release is BW 7.40 SP5. For the Java things we had to upgrade Bex web components to 7.40 SP6.20 (BW Java and portal system).
On OSS, SCN and google we cannot find any clues for this.
We are preparing the OSS call for SAP but maybe anyone of you experts has faced the same issue.
Any advice is welcome.
Second problem:
When a variable screen pops up and everything has been filled in, we have to press the OK button twice (instead of once).
The first OK does a check/validate and then returns to the screen instead of proceeding when check is OK.
Has 7.4 introduced a new setting we have to adjust for this?
Or might this be a bug?
Thanx for your reactions.
Marco

Hi,
Regarding the variable screen button needs two click to execute, you will have to apply SP07 Patch 20 for only below 5 BI Java components for BI Java 740.
For BI Java 730 , SP12 Patch 10 will solve this issue
For BI Java 731, SP12 Patch 20 will solve this issue
This will solve your issue.

Upgrade 306 to 307 portal main errors

I've upgrade both my db (solaris 816 to 817) and portal (306 to 307). Portal and RDBMS are in separate ORACLE_HOMEs on the same machine. Now, when I try to access portal, I get the following errors:
"Client Logon Failed with errorcode:28150
Reset Session Call also failed with error-code:1008
Error-Code:28150
Error TimeStamp:Tue, 27 Feb 2001 13:47:49 GMT
Database Log In Failed
TNS is unable to connect to destination. Invalid TNS address supplied or destination is not listening. This error can also occur because of underlying network transport problems.
Verify that the TNS name in the connectstring entry of the DAD for this URL is valid and the database listener is running. "
If I monitor the listener, I see the connection occur with success, and I can connecct c/s from 9ias ORACLE_HOME to the 817 database no problem. Any clue?

Hi,
Upon inspection of the pupgrade script it was found that the
script upg/307/wwv/wwvupd2.csh was using SQL Plus to connect to
the portal demo schema (PORTAL_SCHEMA_NAME_DEMO). However, since
we had upgraded to portal 306 from webdb 2.2 we don't have such a
schema. The upgrade guide does not ask you to create the DEMO
schema before starting the process. Therefore the script fails at
this point.

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.

BI and Portal Cardinality

Hello!
We currently have EP6 sp16 (dev,qa and prod) and 5(bw1,bw2..bw5) environments for our BW 3.1 landscape. At any point of time, our EP system points to only one BW system, like ep-dev->bw1, ep-qa->bw4 and ep-prod->bw5, for example. This we do by changing the System alias to point to a different System object.
Now we are planning to upgrade BW to 2004s BI. I read about the 1:1 relationship required between BW and Portal. My question is, can I get away by just upgrading my EP6 to EP7 (dev,qa and prod) and upgrade BW 3.1 to BI 2004s (without BI Portals) and keep changing where my new BI systems points to, like BI-1->ep-dev etc..
I guess my question is, is it as easy as changing the System alias connection on the Portal? I am trying to avoid federated portal scenario by having 5 new EP7 instances together with the 3 already existing EP6 (to be upgraded to EP7).
Please let me know if this is possible at all.
I am thinking of a way to put this whole thing in simpler terms.
Thanks,
Kiran

Yes you can upgrade the BI and EP systems toi NW 2004s release. If you are expecting only the load on the EP system from BI users you do not need an additional EP system.
Check Tobias's presentation on this subject for more details on the landscape design.
https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700005089192006E/NW04s_BExWebSysLandscapes.pdf
Connecting EP and BI is not as easy as creating the system alias. You will have to use the EP based template installer to do the integration, check OSS note 917950 for details.
Thanks

Is Oracle 8.1.7 compatible with 9iAS and Portal R2?

hi! i am currently running oracle 8.1.7, 9iAS R1 and portal 3.0.9.8.0. i read that
Portal R2 needs oracle9i to run the portal depository - does that mean i can't run Portal R2?
is oracle8.1.7 compatible with 9iAS R2 and Portal R2?
kindly advise.
thx.

sigh, then why the FAQ puts in a way that R2 can still be run on 8.1.7, just that it can't run the portal repository??? if portal repository = all/important part of portal, then should just bluntly say no.
what's the impact of upgrading to Oracle 9i from 8.1.7? where can i find out the documentation of differences, eg. what methods/api are removed etc - another team is almost in the implementation stage of a project based on 8.1.7.
thx.

Minimum Patch Level Required to install Netweaver 7.0 and Portal

Hello Everyone,
We are currently on ECC6.0 and I need to know what the minimum Patch Level needs to be to install Netwever 7.0 and Portal.
Thank you,
Ahhsap

Hi,
As Sunny suggested, check if you have an existing portal instance.
If not:
Like I mentioned earlier, if you had upgraded ECC 6 to EHP4, then you need to install a separate NW EHP1 Portal. Since both your existing EHP4 ECC system and the new EHP1 portal are based on Netweaver 7.01 release, your systems will be in a consistent release level. It is recommended to install a separate Netweaver portal instance. SAP no longer recommends dual stack (abap + java) installations.
If you do have an existing portal instance, just upgrade the portal to Netweaver 7.0 EHP1 (if ECC is in EHP4) or latest SP for Netweaver 7.0 (if ECC is =< EHP3). I believe this can be done by either SAP EHPi or JSPM.
