Enterprise Topology Post-Installation Tasks
Installation and Configuration Considerations for an Enterprise Topology 2-7
2.5.1 Infrastructure
OracleAS Portal needs post-installation steps with Oracle Internet Directory and
OracleAS Web Cache at the Infrastructure level.
2.5.1.1 OracleAS Portal and Oracle Internet Directory
Every OracleAS Portal middle-tier installation drops and recreates the Portal users in
Oracle Internet Directory (OID). This means that the Oracle Application Server
instance password of the last run middle-tier installation should be used for Portal
runtime access.
After all the middle-tier installations are performed, users can change their Portal user
passwords in OID. This does not require any other changes in the OracleAS Metadata
Repository.
2.5.1.2 OracleAS Portal and OracleAS Web Cache
Detailed steps for setting up Oracle Application Server Web Cache in a multiple
middle-tier environment are described in section 5.1.2 of the Oracle Application Server
Portal Configuration Guide.
2.5.2 OracleAS Portal and Oracle Application Server Wireless
If Oracle Application Server Wireless is configured with OracleAS Portal during the
middle-tier installation, the middle-tier install registers the Portal on the Oracle
Application Server Wireless service. In case of multiple middle-tier installs, the last
configured Oracle Application Server Wireless service URL is stored in the OracleAS
Portal instance. You can change this to your choice of Oracle Application Server
Wireless service by running the following scripts in the Oracle Application Server
middle-tier selected for the Oracle Application Server Wireless service:
UNIX:
ORACLE_HOME/wireless/sample/portalRegistrar.sh
Windows:
ORACLE_HOME/wireless/sample/portalRegistrar.bat
Portal Provider UI Framework
Multiple Portal middle-tier installations overwrite the existing Default JPDK Instance
URL that is used for creating the Providers. Users can change this to their choice of
JPDK Instance URL using the following steps:
1. Log in to Portal using the browser.
2. Click on the Builder link.
3. Click the Administrator tab.
4. Click on Global Settings in the Services portlet.
5. Click the Configuration tab.
6. Enter the Default JPDK Instance URL of any installed Portal middle-tier.
