Installing
the Site Index Portlet's Database Objects
Installing Tree component
The Oracle Application Server (OracleAS) Site Index Portlet provides a
tree view of a Page
Group. It renders all pages and sub-pages within the Page Group
for which
the user has at least view access. This portlet works on OracleAS
Portal 9.0.2.x (and
later).
Nodes in this tree format represent pages and sub-pages. These
nodes can be expanded and collapsed if a given page has sub-pages. The
Site Index Portlet supports three modes:
1. Show Mode
2. Edit Defaults Mode
3. Edit Mode
Show Mode
This mode displays in a hierarchal tree all pages and sub-pages within the
Page Group
Edit Defaults Mode
In this mode an administrator can specify the Page Group that will be shown
within the portlet. The administrator can also choose the target window,
which can either be the same window or a new browser window. The tree size
can also be specified. The portlet cache expiry time can also be set.
Edit Mode
In Edit mode the user can
customize the target window option.
Installing the Site Index Portlet's Database Objects
The install script
(ptlsipi.sql)
to setup the database schema used by the Site Index Portlet must be run
first. The install script will automatically create all the required
packages and tables under the given OracleAS Portal schema.
Follow these steps to set-up the database objects:
- Unzip the downloaded site_index.zip zip file into a temporary
location (e.g. D:\Temp\sip). T
- Run SQL*Plus from the temporary location (e.g. D:\Temp\sip) and enter in your portal
schema's credentials
- Run the install script ptlsipi.sql from the SQL prompt. The ptlsipi.sql script can be found under
the 'schema' directory, e.g.
D:\Temp\sip\schema\.
- SQL>
@D:\Temp\sip\schema\ptlsipi.sql.
- The install script will prompt you for the Portal Schema's name,
e.g. portal
Any installation errors will be recorded
in the file install.log.
Note the install script will also register the provider with your
portal. The 'Site Index Provider' can be found in the Portlet
Repository.
The Site Index Portlet uses some strings from the portal NLS
Repository that are only available in American English language.
In order to install NLS strings for Site Index
Portlet in other languages, please refer to the documentation in ptlnlsi.sql. The ptlnlsi.sql is available under the 'schema' directory, e.g.
D:\Temp\sip\schema\.
A sample translation file for German language is provided with the
setup, you can find the ptlnlsi_d.sql file under the 'schema' directory.
- In order to install the German NLS Strings, run the the ptlnlsi_d.sql on the SQL
prompt, e.g. SQL> @D:\Temp\sip\schema\ptlnlsi_d.sql
The tree has some image files associated with it. These files
should
be copied to the Portal Mid-tier, where the portal images reside. The
tree
image files are available within the 'icons' directory, e.g. D:\Temp\sip\icons\.
The portal images directory can be found under $PORTAL_MIDTIER\portal\images.
You need to copy the complete icons directory to the
Portal Mid-tier images directory.
After copying the 'icons' directory, the Portal Mid-tier should have
directory
called icons, e.g. $PORTAL_MIDTIER\portal\images\icons.
This completes the portlet installation. Create a new page and add
the portlet to the page and customize it to the need. You will be able
to view the SIP.
