Upgrading Portal from NW04 Sp14 to NW04S SP 9

Hi,
We are preparing to upgrade our EP 6 , NW04 SP 14 highly available installation to NW04S SP 9. It seems JSPM is the tool that comes with NW04s SP 9 which runs the upgrade for existing NW04s systems. However NW04 SP14 does not have this tool it only has SDM. Would be grateful if someone could tell me how to start off the upgrade? Do we need to deploy the JSPM from NW04s SP9 via SDM first on existing system? or is there another tool to start this upgrade?

Hi,
1.Is this SP25 upgrade from SP24 will support the IE8 and Firefox 3.5
without any issues for webdynpro application running as of now?
For this you can refer SAP note 1098009, 1296463 and 960549.
2.is it required to upgrade ESS and MSS and anything on ERP side along
with Portal upgrade to SP25
Yes, you should upgrade ESS/MSS to keep it in sync with NW SP level. You can check below link for SP level of ESS/MSS with NW patch level and backend system patch level:
[Link|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/HOW%20TO%20GET%20RID%20OF%20SP%20STACK%20MISMATCH%20ISSUES]
3.After upgrade NWDI to SP25, all the present tracks with custom
components will work as it is?
It should work as such there is no well known issue with existing track after upgrade.
Thanks

There is another oracle instance we have, the one that is hosting the LDAP server, and after the above I also tried doing a stopall there, then bringing up only the ldap server which is required for the upgrade, and then shutting down the iasconsole for that instance too so that only the ldap server remained, then re-running the portal upgrade. It didn't help.
Any ideas?

Upgrading portals from 3.0.9 to portals 10g (9.0.4)

has any one upgraded portals from 3.0.9 to 9.0.4 lately? i have a few questions about this upgrade process; 

the oracle guideline describes that there is a certain script (pobredir.sql) that you run in order to see an output file (typically by the name ... <upgrade_tmp_dir>/uppgrep2.out ).
this file lists the old and new urls for this upgrade process. are these url's the ones which appear in the user_source only or they appear anywhere in the portals (like in the portal components - pages, forms, etc).

will appreciate any helpful hints.

And you HAVEN'T heard bad things about 4.0? You haven't been paying attention, then. There as many, if not more complaints about 4.0 compared to 4.0.1 and 4.0.2.
Is there no way to force it to upgrade to only 4.0? What about putting it in DFU mode, would that help?
There is no way to upgrade to 4.0 without jailbreaking the phone.

Help: Upgrade portal from 10.1.2 to 11.1.1.3 Issue

Hi Experts,
I have to upgrade my portal from AS 10.1.2 to FMW 11.1.1.3, I was doing so following
Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports, and Discoverer
According to the guide, an upgrade start point from OAS 10.1.2 to 11g is supported (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/upgrade.1111/e10130/upgrade_classic.htm#BABFFIGJ)
And I installed new 11g middle tier with old portal schema, checked and updated the new oracle home with ua, it's all successful, but in the last step, upgrade portal schema failed, I found below error message from log:
Portal SQL script started at Wed Jul 27 01:08:32 2011
Running upg/frwk/popinv.pl### Show errors and warnings
Step started at Wed Jul 27 01:08:32 2011
### ERROR: WWU-01013: Upgrade terminated with the following errors:
### 173 : ### ERROR: WWU-00022: Version 10.1.2.0.0 of Oracle Portal/WebDB is not supported
### Upgrade aborted at Wed Jul 27 01:08:32 2011
### Precheck ended with status :13
Question1:
Why 10.1.2.0.0 is not supported, which should be supported according to the doc.
And according to the doc, even without upgrading the schema, the portal can still be functional in a limited manner, without 11g new feature.
Question 2:
In my case, I can not access my portal page by neither http://host:7783/portal/pls/portal(which is old portal address), nor http://host:9001/portal(according to wls console), they return 404 error or just a line reading "PPE is working."
Am i missing anything when upgrading?
Thanks for any help.
Todd

This restriction is most important for Oracle Portal users. Specifically, if you are using Oracle Portal 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.1) Standard Edition One, you must upgrade to Oracle Portal 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.3) before you can upgrade the Oracle Portal schema to Oracle Portal 11g.

Error "EPCF Undefined" in URL Iview after upgrading portal from 7.0 to 7.3

Hi All,
We have upgraded our portal from 7.0 to 7.3 recently. After upgrade when we are trying to open URL iviews(which will open a page in a sesparate window) it is giving some error in left bottom corner of browser. The error is as follows
Message: 'EPCM' is undefined
Line: 463
Char: 1
Code: 0
URI: http://<host>:50100/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://25fd58cd6bc575491c6b9c692e5debd6&InitialNodeFirstLevel=true&windowId=WID1318828789495
Please let me know the solution to solve this issue.
Thanks & regards,
Sandeep

Hi sandeep ,
Hence the problem was not there with previous versions where the .js files were simply not compressed by default.
Solution :
I believe switching off javascript compression is a suitable option in this case as the script files are usually cached by the browser as well and will not be transmitted every time.
Kindly follow these steps:
1. Enter the J2EE Config tool.
2. drill down: Global Server Configuration->services->http
3. on the right hand side, click on NeverCompressed
4. on the bottom, add at the end: ,*.js
5. Apply the changes
6. restart the J2EE.
After this clear the browser cache and then log onto the portal and check if the issue gets resolve
I hope it will useful to you.
Thanks@ Re grads

i don't get your meanings.
The patch 4919248 is only applied on portal 10.1.4.0 according to the document from metalink,not 10.1.2.
The current version of my portal is 10.1.2,what i am trying to do is upgrading to 10.1.4!
Thank you anyway.

Upgrading Portal from OracleAS 9.0.2 to OracleAS 10.1.2.0.2

Hi
I have an Oracle Portal application running on OracleAS 9.0.2 with the latest patches. I wish to upgrade it to OracleAS 10.1.2.0.2.
I know that there is an installation option to upgrade my 9.0.2 app server but I'm not very confident that it will work well. Is there a way to install 10.1.2.0.2 and then move the 9.0.2 users, providers and pages to the portal on 10.1.2.0.2.
Regards,
Néstor Boscán

Users can be migrated from 9.0.2 to 10.1.2.0.2 by using the migration tools for OiD (e.g. ldap command line tools). Web providers can be registered again in the new release.
Page groups, pages and database providers are difficult. You can consider to write your own upgrade tool with the PL/SQL API but using the standard upgrade might be less time consuming.

Upgrade + migration from nw04 on windows 2000 to nw04s on windows 2008

Dear all,
I need to upgrade and migrate my nw04 java system from windows 2000 to nw04s on windows 2008.
From the PAM I can see that NW04 is not supported on windows 2008 and that nw04s (7.0) is not supported on windows 2000.
So, which is the correct upgrade path? Do I need an intermediate win 2003 server which is supported from both the releases?
Thanks and regards in advance
Federico

Hello my friend
This will be a very interesting project for sure. As you know, kernel 640 is not supported on win2008 and 700 is not supported on win2000, so here there must be a win2003 as a transition platform for this upgrade+ migration, not to mention migration from 32bit to x64 is also involved. You didn't mention the DB versions in source and target systems, as well as the SAP product you're trying to go with. Here's a brief checklist right now for what I can think of, once you're back with more details then let's make it intact:
I assume your source OS/DB is win2000SQL2000 32bit, target one is win2008SQL2008 x64.
1. Install a win2003 x64 server and SQL2000 32bit;
2. Install a new SAP instance same as your source system release in 32bit compatible mode;
note: if the system being migrated is BW, then be aware of that you might want to bring new features in SQL2008 of row compression and table partitions.
3. Detach the source DB from old SQL2000, and attach it to new SQL2000; some post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool). Now you've finish a migration from win2000 to win2003 32bit;
4. Start upgrading NW04 to 7.0, 640 to 700, find details in upgrade guide; Now you have your 700 instance on win2003 x64+SQL2000 32bit;
note: since release 701(700 EHP1) is available now, which you might want to upgrade instead of 700.
5. Change the collation 850BIN2 for SQL2000 32bit, detach DB;
6. Since migration from 32bit to x64 cannot be done smoothly, now you have to uninstall everything and reinstall win2003 and SQL2008 x64, followed by a new 700 or 701 instance;
7. Attach the source DB, post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool); Now you have your 700 or 701 instance on win2003 x64+SQL2008 x64;
8. Detach the SQL2008 DB;
9. Now go to your target win2008 OS, install SQL 2008 x64 and new 700 or 701 instance;
note: there might be some restrictions for NW 7.0 on win2008, go with the latest release (SR3 or newer).
10. Attach DB to this final OS/DB version: win2008 x64+SQL2008 x64, post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool).
Helpful?

Developing third party UWL connector using NW04 SP14

Hi
I am developing the 3rd party UWL connector following the guide below.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00ff559e-c563-2910-17a7-c902dbef9a16
I am using NW04 SP14. It seems the UI for configuration mentioned in document is for 2004s.
Do we have similar documents for NW04 Sp14 development?
Once I created and deployed the par, I wanted to configure Universal Worklist System with the connector I provided (say UwlRssConnector(as per the document above))
I am not getting the connector listed in the connector drop down.
Can any body explain how to configure 3rd party connector and its related steps?
But when I try to configure a new Universal worklist Systems using Universal worklist and workflow->Universal worklist->Universal worklist Systems-
I am a new to UWL concept. Please tell me where can I see the log or trace messages for UWL.(is it defaultTrace.trc)
I am trying to work with the exercise of BEM350_exercise2_solution in NW04 Sp14.This is a sample exercise specified in SAP TechEd 2006.But done using 2004s platform.
If any body has successfully done that, could help me resolving my problem

Help needed on upgrading portal application from sp3 to weblogic portal 10

Hi Guys
I have an application which is currently running on BEA Weblogic Portal 8.1 sp3. We need to upgrade our application from 8.1 sp3 to BEA Weblogic 10 version.
(1) Is there any way for upgradation from 8.1 sp3 to portal 10 directly or do I need to upgrade it from sp3 to sp4 and then from sp4 to portal 10? Pls clarify?
(2) How reliable are the BEAs automated scripts for retaining the personalization/customization of my application on sp3 to upgraded version i.e portal 10?
(3) I believe, we do not need to do any coding/design changes/architectural changes into my application for this upgrade.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated
Thanks
Jameel

1) I believe only sp4 and later to weblogic 10 is supported (http://www.bea.com/content/news_events/white_papers/BEA_WL_Portal10_ds.pdf)
so yes i think you need to upgrade from sp3 to a later version of the service pack
2) You tell us :)
3) Depends on your application and the features you have used. E.g. I believe Content management has changed between sp3 and what 10 supports.

Hi Gurus
If we are involved in a project where they are upgrading queries from 3.5 to 7.0 version what kind issues may occur. Please try to help me out .........
Naga

Hi Ajax
With NW04S GUI
-Opening Existing 3.x queries in BI 7.0 query designer errors out
Compiler Error?
-Adding button to a report is not working with Bex Analyzer. Is there a fix already available or something to do with the Gui?
- Adding dropdown boxes to bex reports is not working when a value is selected from the dropdown box. Is there a fix available or something to do with the Gui?
Can you tell me how did you solve these isues WITH NW04S GUI
Is it WITH 7.0 FRONT END or 3.5 Front end?
With 3.5 Front end
- 2 Structures in a query generates dump
- Variants are missing. Ran a program RSR_VARIANT_XPRA, it dumped.
- Report to Report Interface has shown error message. 0Employee_zch_hrdt can not be uniquely assigner.
- Change of currency translation settings during runtime gives error
I understand when variants are missing you have ran a program and hence that problem got fixed. Can you tell me where to run this program?
Same way can you tell me how to resolve other issues?
You made my life easier by sending some real time scenarios. I was unable to defend my resume. This really helps if you tell me how to solve some issues. Thank you very much
