-
In the Local Provider portlet, click Add
a Portlet Provider.
Local Portlet Providers is displayed.
-
In the Name field, enter the
name you want to appear in the portlet repository.
-
In most cases, you can leave the Provider
ID field blank so that Oracle Portal can generate an ID for
you. However, if you have exported a provider that you now want to
import into this node, enter the provider ID in this field.
-
In the Timeout field, enter
the number of seconds Oracle Portal should attempt to connect to this
provider before timing out. Enter the message to display upon timeout
in the Timeout Message field.
-
Select the style in which this provider was implemented from
Implementation Style.
-
Indicate how often Oracle Portal should log each instance of contact
with this provider:
|
Always |
Logs every time the user selects a portlet from this provider.
If you chose Web in Implementation Style,
the user's interaction with the provider is always logged,
regardless of what you may specify in this field. |
|
Once Per User Session |
Logs only the first time the user selects a portlet from this
provider within the same session. |
|
Never |
Does not log interaction between the user and this provider. |
-
In Register
On Remote Nodes,
choose Yes if this provider can be registered by remote nodes, or No
if you want to confine the provider's portlets to this node.
-
If this
provider requires session-specific information, such as session
id, user, and login time, select User,
then specify how often this information must be passed in
Login Frequency. The login frequency determines the frequency
of calls made to the do-login API, for database implementations, or
to the initSession, for Web implementations.
If this provider does not require any session-specific information,
select Public. When you
select this option, the provider's login operation is not called. For
database implementations, this is the same as choosing the User
option with a login frequency of Never.
-
If your provider was implemented
as a PL/SQL package, identify the owning schema and package name in
the fields under Database Providers.
If your provider was implemented
using the HTTP protocol, enter the provider's URL in the URL field.
Then choose the radio button that describes how user names are
handled in the provider. Choose an external application ID, if
necessary, and supply a provider and encryption key. If the
application requires a proxy server, choose Yes in Require
Proxy. |
