# PTG Start Alias /papz/ "<ORACLE_HOME>\panama\server\papz\" # PTG End
jserv.conf
file.
The jserv.conf
file is in the ORACLE_HOME
\Apache\
Jserv\
conf
directory.
In the ApJServMount section, add the Oracle Portal-to-Go specific mount point:
# PTG Start ApJServMount /ptg /root # PTG End
jserv.properties
file.
The jserv.properties
file is in the ORACLE_HOME\
Apache\
Jserv\
conf
directory.
Next to the other "wrapper.classpath
" entries, add all the required Oracle Portal-to-Go files to the classpath.
# PTG Start wrapper.classpath=<ORACLE_HOME>\panama\server\classes wrapper.classpath=<ORACLE_HOME>\panama\lib\panama_core.zip wrapper.classpath=<ORACLE_HOME>\panama\lib\panama_papz.zip wrapper.classpath=<ORACLE_HOME>\panama\lib\client.zip wrapper.classpath=<ORACLE_HOME>\panama\lib\server.zip # PTG End
zone.properties
file.
The zone.properties
file is in the
ORACLE_HOME
\Apache
\Jserv
\servlets
directory.
# PTG Start repositories=<ORACLE_HOME>\Apache\Jserv\servlets,<ORACLE_HOME>\panama\ server\papz # PTG End
# PTG Start servlets.startup=oracle.panama.ParmImpl # PTG End
# PTG Start servlet.rm.code=oracle.panama.ParmImpl # PTG End
After installation, you can verify that individual Oracle Portal-to-Go components are properly configured:
http://
host_name
.domain/papz/test.jsp
"Hello World" should appear on the screen.
http://host_name.domain/papz/login.jsp
The login page should appear. The Personalization Portal prompts you to enter a user name and a password. You can log in using "Administrator" as the user name and "manager" as the password.
