Finding example components

Oracle Portal ships a set of example components in the EXAMPLE_APP application.

All of the examples and example components described in the online help are examples owned by and database objects referenced by EXAMPLE_APP. Any user automatically has Execute access privileges in EXAMPLE_APP. If you do not have these privileges, contact your DBA. Only the portal administrator or DBA can manage examples and objects referenced by EXAMPLE_APP.

To view one of the example components shipped with Oracle Portal:

  1. On the Oracle Portal Home page, click on the shortcut bar.

  2. Click the Applications tab in the Oracle Portal Navigator.

    The Name column of the Navigator displays the names of all applications in which you have privileges.

  3. Click EXAMPLE_APP.

  4. In the Name column, scroll to the example component you want to view. Click its name; for example, EXAMPLE_FORM. The Manage Component page displays.

  5. Click to run the component, or to enter your own parameters that will be passed to the component before it runs.

Note

  • You can perform other actions in the Manage Component page such as viewing source code, editing, or copying the example component if you have the appropriate access privileges on the component or on EXAMPLE_APP.
