Introduction The "OGG-01161 Bad Column Index" error is possibly one of the most reviled and misunderstood Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) error messages ever created. In this article, we shall attempt to demystify this error message. Main Article Bad column index errors tend to occur in OGG heterogeneous; i.e., unlike database, environments and most frequently where change control procedures do not require an OGG sign-off for database maintenance tasks. To demonstrate, I have an...

Introduction Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) provides a mechanism for assigning values to parameters at run time. In this article we shall discuss this feature and show you how to reference operating system variables from within an OGG parameter file. Main Article Typically when we create OGG Groups we edit a parameter file and define configuration options. This requires that we edit the parameter file whenever a change occurs that affects the operating environment. Instead of...

Introduction Many customers want to use Sites as a 'thin' rendering framework and mix web content with back-end applications. An example of such a back-end service might be a application that exposes its interface through a REST API. In this blog I explore a pattern to expose the interaction with such a API through Sites. For this I introduce a simple MVC framework that showcases the patterns. Main Article REST In the exploration I show the reading of JSON responses of two...

Working with Multiple Versions of an Asset Concurrently Introduction Many times there is a requirement to work on the multiple versions of an asset concurrently. For example, you may be working on one version of Home Page. But, before the version of Home Page goes live, you may have to start work on the next version of the Home Page. Some companies change their Home Page every day, and the business process require several days before a version of the Home Page is approved....

Introduction In WebCenter Portal (WCP), once a page is created with a particular style, any subsequent changes to that style are not applied to those existing pages. Internally, the page style definition is copied when the page is created, so there is no link back to those pages when the page style is updated. The impact of this design approach is that changes to a page style can be expensive, since all existing pages have to be manually edited to conform to the updated...

Introduction A previous blog post discussed how to generate and consume user accounts when testing WebCenter with OATS. In this scenario, the generated user accounts can only be used once. This blog post addresses the additional complexity of multiple scripts that each do a part of the overall test case, with each script using the results of the previous step. Main Article Each OATS script tests a part of the overall functionality of the customer application, then records...

The WebCenter Sites API does not have a full Java API for the Render tags. Creating a URL for a page or a blob in a Groovy element is not straight forward. Also calling another Template from a Groovy element or any java code, requires a bridge API. In this article we'll explorer that API. RunTag API Since the earliest versions of WebCenter Site there has been support for XML elements and a corresponding XML Tag API. From XML Tags it was possible to call the WCS Java API. Also...
