  • Webdb - portal url path

    We are testing an upgrade of webdb to portal.
    The original webdb url is "http://machine:81/webdb/home.home"
    what would be the path in Portal?
    Thanks
    Dan

    Hi,
    I think one simply way would be to install a Web Dispatcher which does all the forwarding from / to /irj/portal. To get a first impression on how to install SAP WebDispatcher please take a look at [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/41/23a3e979f846d898e37ad48339dc39/frameset.htm]. Then use [icm/HTTP/redirect|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/00/040f3a39ce8704e10000000a114084/frameset.htm] to redirect from / to /irj/portal.
    The other way is the way you wanted to go: first enable port 80 on the J2EE Engine ([Setting up HTTP Provider Service to Accept Incoming Requests|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/5b/82d3c3ee9691418e6b0281f933a37d/frameset.htm]). Then create a alias "/" which points to http://<server>.company.net:50000/irj/portal

    os the log of the "parent application". This is rather high level in the container. The message in the logfiles tells you that a procedure doesn't exist.
    This can mean 3 things:
    1. The procedure really doesn't exist
    2. The procedure expects different parameters then passed
    3. In the procedure a specific array member is called (but not found). (don't know how to explain this better in English, sorry for that).
    It has been a while since I touched portal. In the past portal used a DAD (located in your HTTP-Server configuration). By changing the error style of the dad, you might find a more comprohensive error message.

  • Portal like menus

    Hi All,
    I'm fairly new to Apex and I have previously worked on WebDB. Is there any way we can create WebDB/Portal like menus in apex ?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Asha

    Carl,
    Thanks for your update. In WebDB and Portal you can create a menu of all components and for each component or forlder you can set permissions based on database roles. When end users login they will only see folders and components(forms, reports etc) based on the database roles they were granted. Creating those menus is fairly simple as there was a wizard to create and edit those menus.
    Here is the URL for screen shot of WebDB menu.
    http://new.photos.yahoo.com/asha_patil9999/albums
    By the way, I'm a great fan and I admire the work you have done with your Apex examples using AJAX and DHTML. I want to be able to use those nice features but I think it's too early for me since I'm new to Apex and don't have JS experience. Is there a book or a link you recomend for JS/DHTML.
    Thanks in advance,
    Asha

  • Urgent help need with 8i/9iAS install

    Hello,
    I need some help, preferably a summarized point list of how to install Oracle 8i and Oracle 9iAS to run WebDB (Portal). Is it required that I need some patches from Oracle?
    I am having a tough time trying to make the Portal work on my machine: (Win2000 pro/128 MB/P III ~866MHz
    Any help would be appreciated very much.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi! Here are some of the things that you need to do, in order to Install Portal.
    Questions you should ask yourself before installing Portal:
    1: Do you already have a Database to Start with. Oracle Portal Successfully installs on only Supports Enterprise Editions of Oracle 8.1.6 Edition and 8.1.7 (Both Standard and Enterprise Editions)
    2. If you already have a Oracle 8i Database, remember your sys password, as this is needed to install Oracle Portal. The database Listener(TNS Listener) should be up and running before installing Oracle Portal.
    3. If your Oracle 8i HTTP Listener( Which is Apache Server Listener which comes by default with every Oracle 8i installation) is Running, PLEASE SHUT THAT OFF OR CHANGE THE SETTING TO MANUAL MODE, or Remove that from the Services Directory, Since, this is just a Basic Apache Server which does not have any of the Pl/sql gateway's and/or other Gateway settings that are required for Installing Oracle Portal.
    4. If you have Oracle 8i Database, Increase the Following Settings to the below mentioned limits in your ini<SID>.ora file
    large_pool_size =60000000
    java_pool_size = 5000000
    shared_pool_size=6000000
    Space of "USERS" Table Space =200MB
    Space of "TEMP" Table Space =200MB
    Space of "SYSTEM" Table Space="600MB"
    Shut Down the Instance and Restart the instance in a Normal mode.
    5: Install Oracle IAS on a seperate Directory or Home than the Oracle 8i Home.
    6. Now you are ready to use Portal30 Configuration Assistent.
    Start the Configuration Assistent, Follow through the Steps and you should be able to install successfully.
    A Couple of Hints.
    Make sure the Computer Name you are installing Oracle Portal on is in Lower Case.
    Usually the installation takes a Couple of Hours depending upon your processor Speed and Memory available.
    Please check to See if there are any Errors in the Installation Logs.
    Check on Technet.oracle.com to see any Installation White Papers Out there.
    I hope this Helps

  • Handle LOCAL files during a web session

    I'm developing an application with Forms 6i.
    Please consider the following command line:
    text_io.fopen('c:\tmp.txt','r')
    In client/server mode the file "tmp.txt" is searched on the local computer (on
    the client).
    In web mode the file "tmp.txt" is searched on the server.
    How can I open the "tmp.txt" file on the CLIENT computer, also in web mode?
    Is there a way to handle local files during a web session?
    Thank you in advance!

    There is a java upload bean available on OTN (somewhere in the javabean/pjc section of examplecode) ... this one lets you do what you want, but it's violating the java sandbox functionality and hence need to be certified/signed to use in a browser - which i personally think is somehwat a hassle ... also it just copies the file to the middletier - you still will need to then read it from there.
    i've found that using the webdb/portal approach for file handling is much easier. if you alerady run on web then you probably anyway have installed 9ias or a webdb/portal server somewhere ... using web.show_document builtin and a very small webdb procedure (something like 10 lines of code) will allow you to easily upload a file directly into the database into an blob!
    have a search through this forum ... i posted a working example a few days back (somewhen last week) on this forum!
    Cheers,
    Stefan

  • Explain please differences of report, dynamic page, frame, portlet

    Hi to all -
    I am a beginner with using WebDB/Portal development so forgive me for such simple questions.
    Can someone explain or point me to a site that explains the differences between report, dynamic pages, frame drivers and portlets? I am trying to understand when I might use say a dynamic page rather than a report, etc. Also, does the PDK functionality complement Portal or is it it's own web development tool entirely?
    I thank you for your shared knowledge
    Mark

    gday Mark -
    There is actually a portal specific forum on OTN which is where the portal experts are all concentrated. See, <a href="http://technet.oracle.com:89/cgi-bin/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Oracle9[ii[/i+AS+Portal&number=70&DaysPrune=20&LastLogin=">Oracle9iAS Portal</a>
    If you've not seen it, there is a ton of good info available for portal. See the page for
    <A HREf="http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/iportal/doc_index.htm">Portal</a> whitepapers, tutories, faqs, etc.
    The PDK is a set of APIs which expose the services provided by Oracle9iAS Portal. This enables you to build your own custom portlets (the building blocks of a portal and it's pages) using your preferred development language and environment. Note that you can also expose a lot of the inbuilt functionality of portal as portlets to enable the easy reuse of people's work.
    See <a href="http://portalstudio.oracle.com/servlet/page?_pageid=350&_dad=ops&_schema=OPSTUDIO">Oracle Portal Studio</a> site for more details on the PDK and portlets.
    cheers!

  • Oracle Portal 3.0 vs Webdb 2.2

    OS: WinNT4 DB:Oracle 8.1.6 256MB RAM, 400MHZ procesor.
    I have used WebDB 2.2. for sometime now. The system requirements are not high. Moreover it is stable and very reliable plus the ease and availability of wizards and tools.
    However the story is different with Portal 3.0. The Apache Server crashes very often; infact I am considering avoiding Portal 3.0 for my presentations to clients. The system requirements are too high, System and Users tablespaces have to be very large. I miss the Site statistics that is available in version 2.2. And you have to search very well before you can locate the right tool to get your work done. It is no longer intuitive, simple, straight-forward and cost-effective.
    I shall appreciate if Oracle will take this problems into consideration in the next releases

    Evans,
    Thanks for your feedback. Which version of Oracle Portal 3.0 are you on? The production version (3.0.6.3.3 and above) of 9iAS Portal 3.0 offers site statistics - just navigate over to the monitor tab as the portal schema owner. We continue always to listen to feedback from our user community.
    Best Regards,
    Harry Wong

  • WebDB vs Oracle Portal

    It appears that Oracle is replacing WebDB with the new Oracle Portal product. Does anyone here know why Oracle is replacing WebDB and what the differences between WebDB and Oracle Portal (performance, development ease, etc).
    Looking for an answer ASAP.
    Thanks,
    David Fordham

    This is not really the forum for this type of question. This forum is for questions related specifically to the Portal Development Kit.
    However, Oracle Portal is not really replacing WebDB in a sense. It is the same product. Because WebDB has taken on a larger role than Web-enabling the database, it has now become Oracle Portal. Oracle Portal offers the same features and benefits that existed in WebDb, but now also offers Portal services as well.
    Hope this helps,
    Sue

  • Upgrade WebDB 2.2 to Portal Fails with Invalid Sys password

    I am upgrading from WebDB 2.2.0.0.5 all the way to the latest 3.0.9xx. My database is 8172. I am at the point where you run the 306 upgrade script. It makes it through renaming all the webdb objects to UPG_<OLD_NAME> but then fails with an invalid sys password error when starting winstall. The sys password is not invalid and the script even tests that it is valid before even starting. So, I am not sure what the problem is. I have tried this about a dozen times different ways and still the same error:
    Renaming the 2.2 tables to UPG_<OLD_NAME> and Dropping Objects

    Does anyone have ANY ideas????

    We spend almost 6 months (on and off) to get a successful migration from webdb. After countless discussions with Oracle, because we though we where doing something wrong, Oracle advised us that forms do not migrate "well" and any migrated forms do not display as portals. We are not upgrading 300 components by hand. I do not know if this affects you like it did us but I thought you would like to know.

  • Portal compared to WebDB and JDeveloper

    Hello,
    I am starting to build a Web site for data browsing, downloading and manipulation. The data is housed in an Oracle 8i 8.1.6 database on a Sun Solaris 8 system. My system has Oracle 9iAS installed on it.
    About a year ago I took a class in WebDB, and now I'm told that Portal has replaced Web DB? Could you explain to me the difference between the two? Is Portal just an upgrade of Web DB?
    Also I have recently been introduced to JDeveloper. I have been impressed with the ability to directly access the java code in the JDeveloper program. Could you talk to me about what advantages Portal has over JDeveloper?
    Essentially I'm trying to research which application is the best route for my web-building purpose. Currently I'm sort of confused about the relationship between these different products.
    Thanks heaps,
    Lauren.

    Lauren,
    JDeveloper is a tool which can help you to build all kinds of java relateted stuff like JSPs, EJBs, Servlets etc.
    Portal on the other site extensively uses PL/SQL code.
    But why choose. Built all your bussiness logic with either servlets or EJBs and access the bussiness logic via JSPs. Use Portal to build access schemes around your JSPs.

  • WebDB 2.2 on DB Version 8.0.5.1.0 to Portal Migration

    Hi,
    I want to upgrade a WebDB 2.2 install on DB version 8.0.5.1.0 to Portal 3.x. I've seen the upgrade documentation available on OTN and i think it refers to the upgrade of a WebDB 2.2 on 8.1.6 or above install. Can anyone provide me any info on this??
    Thanks in advance,
    Rupesh

    Hi,
    No issue,the meaning of restricted mode is that no one connect to oracle database while migration is going on.
    Thanks

  • Poll:  Portal or WebDB or Forms

    I'm doing a rather un-scientific poll to see what other groups are using to launch Oracle Reports. Are using using Oracle Portal, WebDB (home grown mod_plsql application), Oracle Forms, or something else like ASP/JSP, etc.

    Oracle Portal. It works pretty good for us.
