* Note: When running WCI with Oracle 11g with the provided initPLUM10.ora file, make the following
modification: Change ‘compatible = 10.2.0.0.0’ to ‘compatible = 11.0.0’. Also, to prevent problems
with "group by" optimizations when using WCI with Oracle 11g you must add the following configuration
to the bottom of your init$ORACLE_SID.ora file: _optimizer_group_by_placement=false.
- You can upgrade to 10.3.0.1.1 directly only from 10.3.0.1.0 or 10.3.0.
- If your deployment runs a version earlier than 10.3.0, you must
follow the upgrade path to 10.3.0 before upgrading to 10.3.0.1.1.
-
You must update Microsoft’s Visual C++ redistribution to the following version: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=26347
- We strongly recommend you do a full backup of the installation folder before proceeding with the patch installation.

The patch installer backs up all original 10.3.0.1 files that need to
be changed to a backup directory (PT_HOME\backup_10.3.0.1.1) prior to updating. The backup preserves the folder structure of the original files so you can determine the full path of their original locations.
To revert back to
10.3.0.1, perform the following steps on all machines that host WebCenter Interaction components:
- Stop the WebCenter Interaction services on the machine.
- Copy all the backed-up files from PT_HOME\backup_10.3.0.1.1 to their original locations.
- Delete or move the backup_10.3.0.1.1 folder.
- Delete or move all files in PT_HOME\uninstall\ptportal\10.3.0\register that contain 10.3.0.1.1.

- Housekeeping job removes values of property that was not deleted. (Issue #69706)
- "Contact
Information" and "Position Information" headers do not display in
user's preferred language for the "View User Profile" section under "My
Account". (Issue #69736)
- In 6.5, there is no "Edit Preferences" (pencil icon) drop-down list in the portlet header. (Issue #69693)
- Portal does not serve up cached copy of portlet even though it finds it in the cache. (Issue #69710)
- There is a cross-site scripting vulnerability. (Issue #69340)
- Under Advanced Editor - cannot add portlet to top right corner on a three-column page. (Issue #69501)
- Siteminder
SSO integration - login after portal session timeout throws a
NullReferenceException and SSO login fails. (Issue #69668)
- When
an administrative folder containing users is copied, all objects except
for users will be copied. There is no warning or error message. Users
cannot be copied. (Issue# 20116)
- When
using an invitation that has a default profile set to Assistive
Technology mode, the user may or may not get an Assistive Technology
UI. (Issue# 36240)
- Submission of files using Oracle WebCenter Content
Service for Windows Files does not work when using Netscape 7.1 in
Assistive Technology mode. (Issue# 36907)
- 508: My Page: Edit Page: Mandatory portlets not listed. (Issue# 42952)
- The General Information Portlet in users' profiles may not be visible in 508 mode. (Issue# 44996)
- In
508 mode, the RSS Community Reader portlet having multiple feeds will
not be refreshed with the new content when a new feed is selected from
the drop-down list. (Issue# 67499)
Workaround:
Refresh the page.
- Under
certain conditions, if two automation servers share the same
administrative folder, contention for the jobs within the folder can
lead to the failure of one of the automation servers. (Issue# 63240)
- A SharePoint content crawler may fail to import all
SharePoint artifacts on configurations under high load (for example,
systems with multiple Oracle products installed on a single server).
(Issue# 63606)
Workaround:
Install the components on multiple servers or reduce the maximum indexing threads in the crawler settings to a value <3.
- If
a community manager does not have the right to Select a portlet on a
page (but can Read), and the manager moves that portlet, that portlet
will disappear from the community. (Issue# 63063)
- When editing a community page that contains portlets
that have been inherited from a template, the "Remove" link for the
portlets which are inherited through the page template will be
displayed even though these portlets cannot be removed. (Issue# 66123)
- The
old portal configuration management tool is not removed on upgrades
from 6.0 or 6.1. Using this tool will cause a "ptconfig.exe Error in
Java launcher. Cannot find main Java class
com/plumtree/configmanager/Runner" error. (Issue# 67318)
Workaround: Use the new Configuration Manager web UI instead.
- In
the Configuration Manager, the settings for administrative credentials
for the Notification Service are not optional, even though they are
listed as such. (Issue# 67758)
- The default timezone offset setting of -1 should be
used in the Configuration Manager, as this sets Oracle WebCenter
Interaction to use the timezone of the server. (Issue# 67809)
- The Phone Home feature in the Configuration Manager is
not supported for use by customers unless directed to do so by customer
support. (Issue #68098)
- LDAP and Active Directory synchronization jobs should not be run concurrently on DB2. (Issue# 67400)
- RSS Crawler: RSSContentTypesAndProperties.pte does not create Feed Title property. (Issue# 67520)
- Legacy items with status=1 in PTCARDSTATUS and with string date format throw exceptions and do not get reindexed. (Issue# 66653)
- When
crawling documents into folders with filters and selecting both
"Refresh" and "Try to Sort into Additional Folders" in the "When
visiting previously imported documents" section, the taxonomization
does not work. If Refresh is not selected, sorting works. (Issue#
54478)
- A core dump in the middle of the crawl will render that crawl unrunnable. (Issue# 59450)
Workaround:
To make this crawl runnable again delete the corresponding lock record
from the ptobjectlocks table in the database. DELETE FROM PTOBJECTLOCKS
WHERE OBJECTID=crawlid AND CLASSID=602. The crawler ID comes from the
crawler properties page and the class ID for a running crawler instance
is 602.
- "Show only item type" drop-down list gets wrapped when the browser width is not wide enough. (Issue# 67759)
- The Online Help in Assistive Technology mode is in English only, regardless of the user's locale settings. (Issue# 37245)
- Saving the intrinsic iPhone Experience Rule causes the sub-expressions to be duplicated. (Issue #70094)
- Flyout Editor changes vertical height when browsing folders. (Issue# 66697)
- Misspelling portal/server.pt on Win/.NET may force Oracle WebCenter Interaction into a redirection loop. (Issue# 67810)
Workaround:
Change the default value in friendlyurl.xml to .pt/.
- FriendlyURLs
cause GetCurrentUserCachedSubPortalInfo() to return the wrong value
when switching between communities. (Issue #70162)
- Some friendlyURL settings in WCI 10.3.0 may interfere with Publisher 6.5. (Issue # 70400)
Workaround:
comment out the search, mypage and community portions of
FriendlyURLs.xml (PT_HOME/settings/portal/FriendlyURLs.xml). For
example, to comment out the search portion:
<!--
<FriendlyURLMapping>
<key>search</key>
<classId>-25</classId>
</FriendlyURLMapping>
-->
- On
AIX with WebSphere 6.1.0.13, you cannot stop/start the application via
the Web Console UI. WebSphere modifies the object name when it
registers it with the JMX server. Consequently applications which try
to detect the existence of a registered name using the name they
originally provided will fail since the registration is under a
different name. See http://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/SM-883. (Issue# 67368)
- LD_ASUME_KERNEL setting causes PTUPLOAD and PTWS services to fail. (Issue# 67578)
Workaround: Set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL parameter to 2.4.1 in wrapper.conf file.
- When
starting Oracle WebCenter Interaction in an Oracle-BEA WebLogic 10
environment, the following error may be written to the log file: Failed
to load servlet Class:
com.plumtree.gateway.GatewayConfigServletIgnoring: unable to load
class:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

****** Initializing filter BinaryGatewayFilter ******. This error can
be ignored. (Issue# 66018)
- The dbupgradetool.bat may hang on duplicate records in the PTMYPAGEPREFS table. (Issue# 53509)
Workaround: Remove duplicate records before running the dbupgradetool.
- The
installer may garble the names of the "Server Side Includes" and
"Intern Data Connector" web extensions. You can use MetaEdit to change
the name back to the original names. (Issue# 54147)
- On HP-UX, if you set the location where the installer
unpacks files from /tmp to another location (this can be done by
setting IATEMPDIR environment variable to a directory) the installer
will still use approximately 90MB of space from /tmp. There is no
workaround. Clear out at least 90MB of space from /tmp and shut down
any processes on the server that may also be using space on /tmp before
running installer. (Issue# 58874)
- Sometimes during re-installations of all Oracle
WebCenter Interaction installer components, the installer will hang.
The hang always occurs when the installer is performing
post-installation steps deploying the Image Service. (Issue# 58954)
Workaround:
To locate the hanging process, run "ps ?eaf | grep jre142". This should
show at least one process running jre142/bin/IA64N/java in your
installation directory. Kill this process and let the installer run to
completion. The installer will properly install everything except the
Image Service. Run the installer again and choose only the "Image
Service" for installation. The installer should run to completion
without hanging and properly install the Image Service. - Some products install conflicting versions of icu 3.0
into \Windows\system32. When conflicting versions of icu are loaded
before the version distributed with the search client, the portal will
fail to start up, and ptverify will report errors. (Issue# 56359)
Workaround: Search
for and remove icu*30.dll from \Windows\system32. Products with known
conflicts include Crystal Reports XI, WebEx, and possibly other web
client software. - The installer may take longer to complete the installation than indicated by the status bar. (Issue# 57235)
- Modifying
a job's start time from a locale other than the one it was created
under may cause the am/pm flag to revert back to its original setting.
(Issue# 53502)
Workaround: Delete the job and re-create under the current user's locale.
- Attempting
to rename a page and then browse for a portlet will cause the page name
to revert to the original name. (Issue# 67451)
- If adaptive layouts are disabled on a page that
previously used them, you might end up with a wide portlet in a narrow
portlet region. Attempting to move the portlets using the Standard Page
Editor in Internet Explorer will cause JavaScript error. (Issue# 66572)
Workaround: Use FireFox to modify the page layout or re-enable adaptive layouts to move the portlet.
- Adaptive
layouts used in conjunction with legacy navigation schemes can cause
JavaScript errors on My Pages and community pages when browsed with IE
7. (Issue# 66384)
Workaround:
Use the new adaptive layout menu framework to avoid this problem.
Adaptive layouts come with a new drop-down menu framework that is
lighter and faster than jsmenus.
- The
new drop-down menus are only suitable for approximately 30 communities.
Beyond this number, it becomes difficult to navigate the list. (Issue#
67540)
Workaround:
Replace the menus with custom menus, or use the leagacy drop-down menus.
- Default navigation toolbar has burn-through issues when opening drop-down lists. (Issue #69904)
- Importing migration packages is very slow when the Search Server is unavailable. (Issue# 66938)
- LDAP authentication source cannot be exported with custom groups mappings. (Issue# 59243)
- The content upload service requires the document repository service to be running before starting. (Issue# 56575)
- There
is a leak in IE when calling setRefreshInterval() or refresh() on a
portlet. There is no memory leak in Firefox when calling the same
methods. (Issue# 62962)
Workaround:
Call PTPortlet.getPortletByID($$TOKEN$$).clearRefreshInterval(); before the call to setRefreshInterval.
- Content
Crawler Editor, Advanced Settings page: Runtime Configuration is not
maintained if you leave page and come back to it. (Issue# 57068)
- Cannot delete existing Directory folder description. (Issue# 55842)
Workaround: Only way to alter this value is to change it to another non-null string. Enter a space.
- If all nodes are down, opening a Content Crawler Editor takes a while. (Issue# 54973)
- Clicking
"next" in the Job Histories Intrinsic Portlet in Low Bandwidth Portal
mode refreshes the page but does not show you the next group of jobs.
(Issue# 36378)
- Active Directory/LDAP authetication sources being
created cannot be copied from one administrative folder to another.
(Issue #69819)
- Unable to change any property values of the standard
WCI user authentication source, "WebCenter Interaction Authentication
Source". This error occurs if you try to edit any property, including
security settings, of the standard WCI user auth source. (Issue #70156)
Workaround: Manually edit the DB.
- Delete
Everyone READ from Administrative Resources folder and apply the
security settings to all child objects. This operation causes portal
startup error. (Issue# 58593)
- Using
the "inline refresh" option in the gateway configuration of a web
service that uses the Web Controls Consumer (WCC) will cause the
portlet to fail. (Issue# 66408)
- In the User Information Property Map when using MS SQL
Server, multi mapped properties values are displayed in separate rows
in the mapping table. (Issue# 63807)
- Transformer/Tag Engine adds CSAPI JavaScript to wrong
place if <head> tag has a JavaScript variable such as: var myVar
= '<head>test</head>';. (Issue# 59707)
- Malformed URLs can cause exceptions when the portal
tries to transform them, resulting in a crashed portal page. For
example, a portlet with an href containing the following invalid URL
(the port is in the wrong place) will cause a server error:
http://people:80.bea.com/portal/server.pt/ . (Issue # 68200)
- The most recently dropped portlet in a portlet region
is selected when trying to drag a mandatory portlet. This occurs only
after dropping a portlet in the same region as the mandatory portlet.
(Issue# 66758)
- Search fails to start if the cluster home is specified as the root of a NAS share. (Issue# 62397)
Workaround:
Create a subfolder under the root and use this as the cluster home.
- Copying a saved query portlet will unlink it from the original snapshot query. (Issue# 58282)
- After
changing the search cluster contact node in the Search Service Manager,
you must restart all Portal, Automation Server, and API Server
instances in order for the new settings to take effect. (Issue# 55808)
- Search results for Oracle-BEA AquaLogic Publisher items
no longer include the "View Associated Portlets and Communities" link.
(Issue# 67227)
- User can see the cursor in the Search text box blinking through the drop-down menu. (Issue# 66908)
- Accent
characters entered into in the "Search saved as:" name are not encoded
properly and may appear with & and ; characters when displaying
confirmation. (Issue# 67319)
- Clicking 'Create Page' link on a My Page or community
page may create a warning message when using the Logging Spy utility.
This error can be ignored. (Issue# 67707)
- Using the Experience Definition Editor may generate the
following warning message in Logging Spy: "ExpListView::Getting unused
properties not supported by model SelectPTObject ." This warning can
safely be ignored. (Issue# 67755)
- PT_INTRINSICS.PT_OWNER_ID is allowed to be accessed in
server api search code; doing so causes an error, as the value is valid
only for the Oracle-BEA AquaLogic Pathways product. (Issue #70166)
- The
JVM on HPUX-IA64 tends to aggressively consume and fragment memory. At
the same time, the default kernel parameters limit the data segment
size to 1GB by default. The combination of these factors can lead to
out-of-memory errors. This can affect any Java process, particularly
those which use the search client, which include Portal, Automation
Server, Collaboration Server, and Oracle-BEA AquaLogic Publisher. We
recommend increasing the maximum data segment size to at least 2GB.
This can be done using the kctune or sam tools. For instance:
/usr/sbin/kctune maxdsiz=2147483648. If memory usage continues to be a
problem, it may be necessary to tune the Java heap parameters. In order
to minimize heap fragmentation, it is best to set the initial and
maximum heap parameters to the same value. For instance -Xms 320m -Xmx
320m. (Issue# 57256)
- The Search Server index directory and cluster request
directory should be excluded from virus scanning, as indicated in
product documentation. Under certain circumstances a node may crash if
a virus scanner interferes with file I/O. If the cluster directory gets
corrupted, the 6.5 version of examine archive can be used to test and
repair it. To test the cluster directory, invoke "examinearchive
-requests ". If this test shows errors in the cluster directory, invoke
"examinearchive -repair -requests ". (Issue# 57858)
- The indexing pipeline can become deadlocked when
multiple nodes are installed on the same windows box. Redeploying the
nodes on separate boxes should resolve the issue. Symptoms: Crawls
succeed but documents never become searchable. Diagnosis: 1) Crawl job
logs will contain messages like the following: "FullySerializeCards
caught an exception indexing cards in the property search collection:
com.plumtree.server.marshalers.PTException: -2147204349 - Error in
function PTIndexer.CommitAll (): -2147204349 - Failover failed -- no
servers left to accept request." 2) Search Cluster Manager will show
all nodes in "RUN", "STALL", or "RECOVER" state, not "OFFLINE" or
"READONLY" 3) Search Server logs will contain tags with the following
text: Index connection queue backlog exceeds maximum Analysis: The
search cluster is in a deadlocked state where it cannot accept indexing
requests. Queries are unaffected. The deadlock is due to contention
over a lock file which one of the nodes is holding and not releasing.
Resolution: The problem can be temporarily resolved by restarting the
search nodes one at a time. When the node holding the lock is
restarted, the lock will be released and indexing requests can be
accepted once more. Following the node recovery, run Search Repair to
resubmit any indexing requests that may have failed during the outage.
(Issue# 56305)
- Sometimes sending an abort during a named restore puts
the cluster in an unpredictable state. A soft-reset should be executed
after initiating named restore. (Issue# 55035)
- By default, searches on properties with no value are
returned as a "0". This can cause unexpected results when using
ascending sorting. (Issue# 65273)
- An interruption in access to the cluster directory will
cause search servers running on Windows to crash. On Unix, the servers
will successfully transition to read-only, where they will remain until
an administrator requests it to transition back using 'cadmin runlevel
run'. (Issue# 63074)
- With
SSO enabled, accessing a gatewayed URL in a new window will cause a
redirect problem to occur and return a 401. (Issue# 66863)
- Deleting a lockbox and creating a new lockbox without
finishing the delete will cause the deleted lockbox entries to remain
in the database. To avoid the issue click "Finish" immediately after
deleting a lockbox. Modifying the value of name in PTPROPERTIES can be
safe as workaround if this problem has already been encountered.
(Issue# 58057)
- The
ptverify.sh / ptverify.bat script may give a false warning that Oracle
WebCenter Interaction is unable to start when any custom tag library is
loaded. (Issue# 66546)
- The Portal Diagnostic Tool will not work in Java when you create and register a custom tag library. (Issue# 53063)
- Reference-type properties are read-only in the User Profile Editor in Assistive Technology mode. (Issue# 36042)
- If
the Search component is missing from the Oracle WebCenter Interaction
license key, both the diagnostic tool and the application server will
display a warning stating, "Missing, invalid, or expired license for
AquaLogic Interaction Grid Search-6.1-Search. The search functionality
has been disabled." This message can be ignored. If the Search
component is missing from the AquaLogic Interaction key, Search will be
limited to 2 nodes. (Issue# 60468)
- The diagnostic tool throws a taglib error; this does not affect Interaction functionality. (Issue #70103)
- If you change the HTTP Entry point from server.pt to .pt (like the RSS feed sample does), invitation URLs break. (Issue #70134)
- The
placement of mandatory portlets does not adjust properly (does not
maintain priority ordering) to page layout changes if using adaptive
layouts. (Issue #70255)
- Reading
a string field from an IPortalSearchResult converts a full width number
to a half width number. The value is stored correctly in the DB, and is
returned correctly using IDocumentProperties. (Issue# 51243)
None.
