This patch 121914-03 introduces functionality to register/unregister portlets present in a EAR file.

Registration is the process by which Display Profile entries can be created for all portlet applications packaged in a EAR file, after the EAR file is deployed to the underlying Application Server. Unregistration is the process of removing Display Profile entries for all portlet applications packaged in a EAR file.

This feature will work only with ear files generated by JCAPS tools since the EAR files need to have Sun Portal proprietary artifacts inserted into them. For the end-to-end use case involving usage of this functionality, please refer to the JCAPS product documentation including the JCAPS Release Notes.

Description
Registers all all portlet applications packaged in a EAR file. This feature will work only with ear files generated by Java CAPS tools since the EAR files need to have Sun Portal proprietary artifacts inserted into them.

Syntax
Long Format
psadmin register-portlet --adminuser uid --passwordfile password-filename --dn dn | --global [--rolesfile roles-file] [--userinfofile user-info-file] --portal portal-ID portletearfile
Short Format
psadmin register-portlet -u uid -f passwordfile -d [-r roles-file] [-n user-info-file] -p portal-ID portletearfile

Options:
The following options are required:

• [--adminuser | -u] uid
  Specifies the administrator's distinguished name.
• [--dn | -d] dn
  Specifies the distinguished name in the LDAP node to access the display profile document. The -d or -g option is required.
• [--passwordfile | -f] password-filename
  Specifies the administrator's password in the password file.
• [--portal | -p] portal-ID
  Specifies the portal ID.

• [--global | -g]
  Specifies the global level node in LDAP to access the display profile document. The -d or -g option is required.
• [--rolesfile | -r] roles-file
  Specifies the file containing the Access Manager software and portlet application role mapping information.
• [--userinfofile | -n] user-info-file
  Specifies the file containing the user information mapping information.

• portletearfile
  Specifies the path to the EAR file.

Usage

psadmin register-portlet -u amadmin -f pfile -p portal1 -g /tmp/helloworld.ear

In the above example, all portlet applications in helloworld.ear are registered at the global level.

psadmin register-portlet -u amadmin -f pfile -p portal1 -d o=DeveloperSample,dc=sun,dc=com ?r /role.props /export/home/myejbapp.ear

In the above example, all portlet applications in myejbapp.ear are registered at the DeveloperSample node. A role mapping file is also specified.

Description
Unregisters all portlet applications packaged in a EAR file. This feature will work only for EAR files that have been already registered using the register-portlet command.

Syntax
Long Format
psadmin unregister-portlet --adminuser uid --passwordfile password-filename --dn dn | --global --portal portal-ID portletearapp
Short Format
psadmin register-portlet -u uid -f passwordfile -d -p portal-ID portletearapp

Options
The following options are required:

• [--adminuser | -u] uid
  Specifies the administrator's distinguished name.
• [--dn | -d] dn
  Specifies the distinguished name in the LDAP node to access the display profile document. The -d or -g option is required.

  Specifies the portal ID.

• [--global | -g]
  Specifies the global level node in LDAP to access the display profile document. The -d or -g option is required.

• portletearapp
  Name of the EAR application that needs to be unregistered

Usage

psadmin unregister-portlet -u amadmin -f pfile -p portal1 -g helloworld

In the above example, all portlet applications that were packaged as a part of the helloworld.ear application are unregistered from the global level.

psadmin unregister-portlet -u amadmin -f pfile -p portal1 -d o=DeveloperSample,dc=sun,dc=com myejbapp

In the above example, all portlet applications that were packaged as a part of the myejbapp application are unregistered from the DeveloperSample node.

You will need to adapt the following instructions to your particular installation if you have customized and deployed any of the following portlet applications:

• filesharing
• sharedevents
• surveys
• sharedtasks
• rssportlet
• wiki

These instructions are to be used only as a guideline. Depending upon which files you have customized, you may need to manually merge your customizations with the changes delivered by this patch.

These instructions use the "filesharing" portlet application as an example. Adjust to your particular situation.

To incorporate the fixes delivered by this patch into a customized portlet application, one would generally perform the following steps:

1. Copy the updated portlet application war file to the directory in which the portlet application is built. For example:
   • cp /opt/SUNWportal/portletapps/filesharing/src/filesharing.war.tokenized /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/portal1/portletapps/filesharing/src/.
2. Copy/merge any remaining changes to the portlet application build directory, being careful to not destroy the "tokens.properties" file in the build directory.
3. Rebuild and redeploy the portlet application. For example:
   • cd /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/portal1/portletapps/filesharing
   • export JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk/entsys-j2se
   • /usr/sfw/bin/ant customize
   • /opt/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin undeploy-portlet -u amadmin -f pwdfile -p portal1 -g filesharing
   • /opt/SUNWportal/bin/psadmin deploy-portlet -u amadmin -f pwdfile -p portal1 -g build/filesharing.war

Description
The "psupdate" utility is used to complete changes related to the application or removal of Portal Server maintenance patches. The utility, with the appropriate options, must be run whenever a Portal Server maintenance patch is either applied or removed.

When the Portal Server maintenance patch is applied, a patch version specific copy of various update scripts, including psupdate, are copied into the Portal's "/var" directory. The following symlink:

<PSINSTALLDIR>/SUNWportal/bin/psupdate

is created and points at the current patch's version of "psupdate".

Syntax
psupdate -a | -r [-n] [-v] [-i] [-N]

Options:
One of the following must be specified:

• -a: Must be used whenever a Portal Server maintenance patch has been applied to a Portal installation. When invoked with this option, the utility will query the user for any information needed to complete the update, e.g., passwords, and will then apply only those update completion steps determined to be required by the present installation.
• -r: Must be used whenever a Portal Server maintenance patch has been removed from a Portal installation. When invoked with this option, the utility will query the user for any information needed to complete the update, e.g., passwords, and will then apply only those update completion steps determined to be required to remove the changes applied by the most recent invocation of "psupdate -a".
  • When "psupdate" in "remove mode" finishes its task, and if all downgrade operations competed successfully, the utility removes the symlink in the Portal's "bin" directory, and creates a symlink pointing to the "psupdate" utility belonging to the most recent version of a Portal Server maintenance patch remaining on the system (if any). In addition, the "/var" directory entry belonging to the maintenance patch that was just removed, is also deleted.

• -n: This option will cause the utility to display all operations determined to be required by invocation of either the "-a" or "-r" option, but will not actually perform the operations.
• -v: This option will cause the utility to display all operations as they are being performed.
• -i: Ordinarily, the psupdate utility will only complete a particular upgrade operation once. Once the upgrade of a particular component has completed successfully, successive invocations of the psupdate utility will not cause the upgrade for that component to be repeated. The "-i" option indicates that the utility should ignore the fact that update of a component may have completed successfully, and should repeat the update operation anyway.
• -N: The psupdate utility uses various temporary files to perform its tasks. Ordinarily, the utility removes these files upon exit. This option indicates that the utility should not delete these files upon exit.
  • WARNING: These temporary files may contain sensitive information, such as passwords. Use this option with care.
