Oracle® Application Server Portal Configuration Guide 10g (9.0.4) Part Number B10356-01 |
|
This manual describes how to configure Oracle Application Server Portal. This includes how to plan, upgrade, check pre-installation requirements, and perform post-installation tasks. This guide further explains some more advanced Portal deployments, and explains how to perform the advanced configuration required for these deployments. Finally, there is information about monitoring and troubleshooting.
If you've used previous releases of OracleAS Portal, you'll most likely notice that the documentation set is quite different in 10g (9.0.4). In the past, most task-related information was available in the online help. Beginning with 10g (9.0.4), this information is presented in book form only. Field-level and conceptual help are still available through the online help system and, in future releases, will provide links to step-by-step information in the appropriate manuals.
This guide is intended for two kinds of users:
Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle Corporation is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
