WCP 12.2.1: Cannot delete Portal (corrupted)

After a fresh Installation of WCP 12.2.1 I created a Portal in order to check that everything works fine.

However, I had issues with the connection of WCP and WCC and another small configuration problems.

After fix these problems everything was working fine, but when I tried to delete the first POC portal I realise that I could not delete it.

The following error message is shown.
 
Error displayed when deleting the corrupted Portal


 Also if you try to access to the Portal now is not accessible.

The Portal is no longer accesible
In the log files you can find the following stack trace

Caused by: oracle.mds.core.MetadataNotFoundException: MDS-00013: no metadata found for metadata object "/oracle/webcenter/space/metadata/spaces/Portal1/space.xml"
MDS-00201: PDocument not found in MetadataStore : [store-type=DBMetadataStore app-name=webcenter repository-name=mds-SpacesDS partition-name=webcenter]
        at oracle.mds.core.MetadataObject.getBaseMO(MetadataObject.java:1677)

As you can see there is a corruption in the MDS repository associated to the WC_Portal server.

How to fix it?
  1. Create a new Portal in order to generate a non-corrupted Portal.
  2. Export the MDS metadata using the following WSLT command

    exportMetadata(application='webcenter',server='WC_Portal',toLocation='/tmp/mds', docs='/oracle/webcenter/space/metadata/spaces/**')
    exportMetadata result
  3. You will see that the corrupted Portal is not there. Create the same folder structre as the non-corrupted Portal and copy the files into the new folder
    Creating the missing structure
  4.  Execute the following SQL command to retrieve the GUID of the corrupe
    Retrieving the GUID of the corrupted Portal
     Edit the copied space.xml file and replace the GUID and the display-name values
    Change the GUID and Display Name of the corrupted Portal
  5. Import back the MDS using the followign WLST command

    importMetadata(application='webcenter',server='WC_Portal', fromLocation='/tmp/mds', docs='/oracle/webcenter/space/metadata/spaces/**')
    importMetadata command results
  6. Delete the Portals and it will work!
    Portal deleted successfuly
I hope this helps in case of your Portals get corrupted in the MDS!

      Hello mate.

      Please, can you paste the rest of the stack trace?.
      Is it a JSK or a manual installation in VM?.

      We have currently 4 environments installed of 12.2.1 which are working properly and we can create Portals.

      Please provide more detailed information and I can help you to identify the issue :).

      Thanks.
      Kind regards.

OJET: Build and Deploy in an Application Server

Image
There are some other sources where an Oracle JET Application is packaged and deployed as a WAR in Oracle WebLogic Application Server (Arda Eralp) https://blogs.oracle.com/ardaeralp/deploy-oracle-jet-application-to-weblogic-server (Andrejus Baranovski's) http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2016/07/serving-oracle-jet-application-from.html They may look bit old or maybe because they call directly grunt tasks by using the grunt-cli . In this post I will update a bit these posts in Oracle JET 6.1.0 and the usage of ojet build (instead of calling the grunt tasks) for also building the corresponding WAR file. The example can be found in my GIT repository: https://github.com/DanielMerchan/ojet-examples Let's start... Install grunt-war module in your Oracle JET Application. npm install grunt-war --save-dev Create a war.js (or call it whatever you want) in /scripts/grunt/config folder under your souce files. This is a sample code inside of it, check https://www.npmjs.com/packag...

OJET: Select All options using only Checkboxset

This is an example on how to select all other options by using another oj-checkboxset.
