Bugs in this Release

This section contains information on the open bugs of the Portal Server 7.1.

Note –

Bugs drafted in the release notes are applicable to the HP-UX platform, unless they are not specifically mentioned.

The following product areas are covered:

Installation

Restarting of the common agent container is required after creating a new portal. (#6521384)

Example:

In the Linux platform, if you use Application Server 8.2 as the web container for Portal Server, after creating a new portal, restart the common agent container.

/opt/sun/cacao/bin/cacaoadm stop
/opt/sun/cacao/bin/cacaoadm start

If Portal Server is installed on an Application Server cluster, to uninstall Portal Server, you need to delete the Portal Server instance on every node. (#6494878)

Solution:

Do the following:

Start DAS on each secondary node.
Delete Portal Server instances on each secondary node by running the psadmin delete-instance command.
Delete Portal Server instance on the primary node.
Run the uninstall command to uninstall Portal Server.

Administration with Command-Line Utilities

The --format option is missing in the generate-user-behaviour-tracking-report command help. (#6506032)

Description:

When you run the psadmin generate-user-behaviour-tracking-report --help command, the description for the -–format option is not provided.

The -–format option specifies the format of the report, such as PDF, HTML, or XML. By default, the report is stored in the PDF format.

The psadmin delete-instance command fails if one or more .war are not deployed on the server. (#6504630)

Description:

If a portlet is not successfully deployed, the psadmin delete-instance command fails because the command tries to undeploy the web application.

Solution:

Deploy the war files that were not deployed on the instance and then run the psadmin delete-instance command.

Undeploying a portlet war file from a DN (Distinguished Name), undeploys the .war file from all DNs. (#6495423)

Description:

Deploy a portlet war file at two DNs, for example DN x and DN y. Then, undeploy the war file from DN y. The desktop does not show the portlet for DN x because the web application is undeployed from the container.

Solution:

Do the following:

Remove the display profile fragment for this provider from DN x.

psadmin remove-dp -u admin-user -f password-file -d x -p portal1 -t provider -n blogportlet.blog
Deploy the portlet war again at DN X.

psadmin deploy-portlet -u admin-user -f password-file -d x -p portal1 -n blogportlet.war

By default, —overwrite option is true for import through Portal Server administrator console and is false for psadmin import command. (#6323091)

Solution:

When using the psadmin import subcommand with the --dp-only option, if the intention is to replace the whole display profile for the specified dn, use the --overwrite option. For example, type

./psadmin import -u amadmin -f ps_password -p portal-ID --dp-only --continue --overwrite

Portal directory is not deleted if the instance is on a host other than the portal host. (#6355651)

Description:

Portal Server Management Console

On WebLogic and Application Server 8.2, Datasources are not deployed on a new Portal Server instance. (#6515080)

Solution:

Do the following in the WebLogic administration console:

Log in to the WebLogic administration console.
Select datasources. Select each datasource and click the Target and Deploy tab on the right frame.

Do the following in the Application Server 8.2 administration console:

In Administration Console Help HTTPS should read HTTP, and URLs should read URI. (#6476607)

Description:

In the Profile Section under Secure Remote Access, the attribute reads "HTTP Port — Specifies the HTTPS port. Default value is 80." HTTPS should read HTTP. Rewriting of All URLs should read Rewriting of All URIs.

Help files not displayed on Web Server SSL machine. (#6351789)

Description:

Solution:

Perform the following steps:

Add a bean managed property, httpPort, to the managed bean declaration of JavaHelpBean in the ./web-src/common/common-fonfig.xml file. The common-config.xml file is located in the psconsole WAR file.
Set the value of httpPort to an insecure port (http) that the web container provides.

Example:

The following example demonstrates setting the httpPort to port 8080:

<managed-bean>

<description>The backing bean for the Java Help component</description>

<managed-bean-name>JavaHelpBean </managed-bean-name>

<managed-bean-class>com.sun.web.ui.bean.HelpBackingBean</managed-bean-class>

<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>

<managed-property>

<property-name>jspPath</property-name>

<value>faces</value>

</managed-property>

<managed-property>

<property-name>httpPort</property-name>

<value>8080</value>

</managed-property>

</managed-bean>

The web container must support a http port for the above example to take effect. A unjar and re-jar of the psconsole WAR needs to be added to manage the bean property and set the value of the http port. After making the new psconsole WAR, a redeploy is required for the changes to take effect.

Proxylet

Proxylet help is available only from the proxylet channel. (#5036777)

For the migration that is not handled by psugrade, manual carry over from upgraded Portal Server 6.3.1 is needed. These operations should be performed after stopping all search related processes, such as search webapp, robot, rdregister, autoclassify, and profiler.

Copy the following files to the upgraded search server directory:

cp $SRC/config/taxonomy.rdm $DEST/config
cp $SRC/config/filterrules.conf $DEST/config
cp $SRC/config/import.conf $DEST/config
cp $SRC/config/classification.conf $DEST/config
cp $SRC/config/schema.rdm $DEST/config

where SRC is the path to the old search server directory and DEST is the path to the new upgraded search server directory.

Depending on what was customized in Portal Server 6.3x, do the following:
- For Robot, use the Portal Server 7.1 administration console's robot/properties to reconfigure the robot.conf's parameter such as proxy and authentication. Use the Portal Server 7.1 administration console's robot/filter to update the robot filter properties with the customization done on Portal Server 6.3.1's /var/opt/SUNWps.bak/server/portal/config/filter.conf file.
- For federated search databases, refer to the Portal Server 7.1 configuration guide for more information on how to set up Federated Search.
Restart the search server web container and search related processes.
