This chapter introduces the new features related to Oracle Application Server Portal, 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) configuration and provides pointers to additional information.
The new features of OracleAS Portal include:
ptlasst Command Line Utility Removed
The ptlasst command line utility has been removed. All of the functionality that was provided by ptlasst is now available through the Portal Dependency Settings tool and file ptlconfig and iasconfig.xml. See Appendix A, "Using the Portal Dependency Settings Tool and File" for details on using ptlconfig and iasconfig.xml.
New ptllang Script to Install Languages
OracleAS Portal is configured with the languages that are selected in the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) during the Oracle Application Server middle-tier installation. To install languages, after you have installed OracleAS Portal, run ptllang.
In OracleAS Portal 10.1.2, the ptllang script completely replaces the ptlasst.csh -mode LANGUAGE. You must run ptllang for each language that you want OracleAS Portal to support. Refer to Section 4.9, "Configuring Language Support" for details.
Support for Global Inactivity Timeout in OracleAS Portal
A Global Inactivity Timeout can be configured for the OracleAS Single Sign-On (SSO) Server. This feature is now supported in OracleAS Portal 10g Release 2 (10.1.2). Refer to "Support for Global Inactivity Timeout in OracleAS Portal" for details.
Support for User and Group LOVs in OracleAS Portal
User and Group LOVs work properly in OracleAS Portal 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) through the implementation of a new callback method. Oracle Delegated Administration Services posts the selected values to the callback method in OracleAS Portal's domain to avoid the cross-domain JavaScript issues. However, support for this is required from both OracleAS Portal and Oracle Delegated Administration Services. 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) versions of both these components have this support. If OracleAS Portal 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) is used against an older version of Oracle Delegated Administration Services that does not support the callback method, then you must run the script secjsdom.sql, to set up a common domain. Refer to Section 6.1.7.2.5, "User and Group Lists of Values in OracleAS Portal" for details.
Configuring and Managing an Upgraded Oracle Application Server Portal Instance
A new appendix has been added that discusses how to configure a portal whose schema is not located in an OracleAS Metadata Repository, to take advantage of some of the new management services for Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2). Refer to Appendix B, " Configuring and Managing an Upgraded Oracle Application Server Portal Instance" for details.
