<B>Granting permissions to execute the PL/SQL APIs:</B>

<P>When using the PL/SQL APIs to build portlets or to perform actions on your portal, you will need to run the provsyns.sql script.  This script grants permissions to your schema to execute the PL/SQL APIs and needs to be run once before creating any PL/SQL portlets or procedures in a schema.

<P>You can find provsyns.sql under your IAS_HOME/portal/admin/plsql/wwc or in a 3.0.x release under IAS_HOME/portal30/webdb30/admin/plsql/wwv.

<P>For example:  /IAS_MID/portal/admin/plsql/wwc

<P>Log into SQL*Plus as the portal schema and run the script:<BR>
<PRE>SQL>@provsyns.sql &lt;myschema&gt;</PRE>

<P>Where "myschema" is the name of the schema where your portlets and proceudres will reside.
