Websphere portal vs RAD

Hi ,
I did not know which forum to post this question. So I had to choose Web application forum.
I am currently exploring RAD v6.0 and Websphere Portal v5.1 . I want to know what could we possibly do with Websphere Portal , that we cannot do with RAD v6.0. When would you choose the one over the other? If I am deveoping an Enterprise App - having EJBs, Servlets , JSP , Database connectivity etc. , Does Websphere Portal offer anything to simplify the design , compared to RAD v6.0?
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi
Please let us know, if you have any info for integration of websphere6.1 with AM..
Thanks

I'm getting the same error on WebSphere 6.1.5. Is there any solution for this?

Configure WebSphere Portal Server to use LDAP (Oracle Internet Directory)

I did configuration for WebSphere Portal to use security with LDAP Oracle Internet Directory (OID). The script for configuring works well (WPSConfig.bat action-secure-portal-ldap)
But when i start Portal Server it cannot start successfully. I did check in log file and found a error on SystemOut.log as attachment log below. I don't know what happen with WebSphere Portal Server.
If you guys know how to fix it please let me know or point me some documents to configure this again.
Thanks in advanced.
Servlet E com.ibm.wps.engine.Servlet init EJPFD0016E: Initialization of service failed.
com.ibm.wps.ac.DomainAdministratorNotFoundException: EJPSB0107E: Exception occurred while retrieving the identity of the domain adminuser/admingroup uid=wpsadmin,cn=Users,dc=localhost,dc=com.

There is no clear documentation available to enable custom security but IBM info center has decent documentation for LDAP based security. I would say follow the steps mentioned for IBM directory and then modify the necessary configuration parameters for OID. This should solve your issues. For better help open a PMR with IBM to get necessary quick help.

WebSphere Portal and BOXI R2 PIK errors

Post Author: leonpc
CA Forum: Publishing
I have Business Objects installed on a system. I am trying to install the JSR168 portlets on a WebSphere Portal server to access this BOXI R2 server. I have followed the instructions and update the web.xml in the WEB-INF directory. When I try and log into the BO server using the Document List portlet I get the following error:Unable to access the BusinessObjects Enterprise infrastructure at u201Cservernameu201C for u201Cusernameu201C. Contact your reporting administrator for assistance.When I take the URL as configured in the web.xml file and past it directly into a browser window, I can use the same username to log into the BOXI server. That tells me that the ID and the URL is valid. Where can I find more information to troubleshoot the problem to see if I can fix it... Also any ideas of what can cause it? RegardsLeon

Deploying ADF/JDeveloper portlets in WebSphere Portal

I'd like to use ADF/JDeveloper to build my application, but my customer is already heavily invested on a WebSphere Portal deployment platform. The JDeveloper/ADF documentation has extensive information on creating portlets in various ways, but they all seem focused exclusively on deploying in an Oracle platform. I have tried both the "Standards-Based" as well as the "JSF Portlet Bridge". I have tried to deploy the portlets in WebSphere Portal using both the generated WAR file, as well as by registering the WSRP producer. None work.
With the WAR file, WebSphere Portal seems to import the WAR file just fine, and I can add a portlet to a page, but the portlet always shows as "unavaiable"
With the WSRP producer, I can get something to show in the page, but the functionality within the portlet doesn't seem to work.
I've searched extensively, but cannot locate any documentation or use cases for deploying portlets from JDeveloper into WebSphere Portal. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Dvohra21, again, I apreciate the effort, but I think you're missing the fundamental question.
You've given me two types of articles/links. Some are generic WebSphere Portal documentation about deploying a portlet from a WAR file. Others are Oracle articles about who to generate portlets in JDeveloper, with examples deploying in Oracle/WebLogic servers. Unfortunately I don't have a problem with either of those.
I CAN deploy a portlet WAR file in WebSphere Portal, and sucessfully add it to a Portal page. I have done that with multiple WAR files generated from Rational Application Developer.
I CAN produce a WAR file from JDeveloper, following the instructions in the same resources you included, plus a few others.
The problem is, the WAR file from JDeveloper, does not successfully run on WebSphere Portal. I create a simple Hello World portlet in JDeveloper, and I can generate a WAR file from it, and seemingly deploy to WebSphere Portal. However when I add it to a Portal page, it always displays only a blank box with the text "This portlet is unavailable". This is in the same exact portal page, where the portlet created with Rational Application Developer shows up just fine right along side it.
Bottomline is, although there is a great deal of information an demos about generating portlets from JDeveloper within an Oracle environment, I could not find a SINGLE ONE, that goes through an end to end scenario where it is deployed in WebSphere Portal. Nothing in this forum, nothing in Oracle docs, and nothing I can find on a Google search.

Interaction ESS - Webdynpro - Websphere portal

Hi all,
a question please if you can help me:
Could Websphere Portal interact with ESS through the URL address of its WebDynpro pages ?
do you know something about this argument ?
I know that in the old version, it was easy for a non-SAP portal to work together with ESS, through the so-called PMZ3 menu, which was addressable thorough its URL. Could we work this way with the most recent version of ESS using Web Dynpro interfaces, not using the correspondent iViews ?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, there is possible, but i understand you've to be careful with all the required connections, SSO config, where database user is located, and of course, good servers' capabilities and have ever a good technical background support to face issues.
There are some links:
http://www.sap.com/platform/netweaver/websphere.epx
http://www.sap.com/canada/solutions/pdf/BWP_WebSphere.pdf
http://www.gwug.org/artikel/download/WebSphere_und_SAP-Integration.pdf (excellent article)
You can check in Portal Implementation or another technical forum for estimated effort in time, technical difficulties, etc. Also please contact with your SAP Agent to know the license implications.

E-Recruitment Applications in Websphere Portal

Hi,
We have a requirement wherein we need to have E recruitmtnt applications in IBM Websphere Portal.I have gone through few documents and i am not clear how to move forward.Could anyone suggest some best way to achieve this.
1.If we do Integration between SAP Portal and IBM websphere, can we get E Recruitment applications in Websphere Portal.If this is the way what might be the issues we are gong to face moving forward.(As suggested through SAP iView Integration Portlet i guess)
2.As E recruitment applications we are using is completely based on ABAP Webdynpro,is it possible to display these applications directly from ECC to IBM Websphere Portal.(As every WDA is associated with an URL, can we make use of this URL in Websphere)
3.Again E recruitment Portal content needs SAP Portal because some of the functions of the roles ( like Recruiter iview , Manager Iview etc are delivered as Portal Content).Can we achieve all these without SAP Portal.
I would be great if someone suggest me the right way.

Anil

IBM WebSphere Portal Server, what similar products are out there?

Hello,
Our company is looking into the IBM WebSphere Portal Server package. If anyone knows anything about it, and can let me know what other products are out there that is similar, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

Virtually every Java application server vendor is now buying into the corporate portal craze that has infected the minds of businesspeople around the world. The application server vendor crowd is fairly new to the whole portal thing, as it has been typically in the hands of individual companies who have relied on portal software as their flagship products in the past.
Plumtree and Coreport are two examples of corporate portal vendors who basically have nothing else to offer, but probably do portals better than most of the application server guys. IBM, ATG, Oracle and BEA are examples of other Java application server vendors that have fairly recently added portal frameworks and APIs as extensions to their products.
If you're looking to compare all of these, there is a wealth of information out there... you're not going to get it here. Do a bit of searching.

Weblogic server with Websphere Portal server

Hi,
I am having this peculiar problem.
I am using Websphere Portal Server and accessing an application which is running
on Weblogic
6.1. I am also using struts on both the portal server and weblogic server.
The first time I access a jsp which is on weblogic from websphere portal I get
it fine.
I have button on this jsp on submit of which another jsp on weblogic should come
up.
The problem is that on click of the button the URL which is being formed is
<ip of weblogic>/<path of portal server>.
I have no clue why this is happening and its driving me crazy.
Can anyone tell me whats happening?
Thanks

Siri-
This sounds like a URL rewriting issue with whatever proxy or tool you are using
to interface from WS to WLS. Basically, for the setup to work, any URL's that
are contained in the content served up by your WLS instance will have to be rewritten
such that your WS instance knows that the request is actually intended for the
WLS server.

Hi,
I am having this peculiar problem.
I am using Websphere Portal Server and accessing an application which
is running
on Weblogic
6.1. I am also using struts on both the portal server and weblogic server.
The first time I access a jsp which is on weblogic from websphere portal
I get
it fine.
I have button on this jsp on submit of which another jsp on weblogic
should come
up.
The problem is that on click of the button the URL which is being formed
is
<ip of weblogic>/<path of portal server>.
I have no clue why this is happening and its driving me crazy.
Can anyone tell me whats happening?
Thanks
Siri
