hello guys,<br />
<br />
have you encountered problems with the latest portal 5.1 fixpack?<br />
<br />
on my current installation, i could name a few but it keeps hampering our pr
oduction:<br />
<br />
<ul class="jive-dash">
<li>portlets takes to lonng to install and uninstall, most of the time in th
e SystemOut log it says Installation/Uninstallation completed but in the web
 site it is still 50% and whne you checked in /installedApps no folder for t
hat particular portlet wher
e created thus giving you "Portlet Unavailable" error when you post that por
tlet on a page.</li>
</ul>
<br />
follow-up query about this, is it ok if the portlet was created in RAD6.0 wi
th Portal Test Environment 5.1.0.0 only and your production portal where the
 portlet whould later be installed is version 5.1.0.5?<br />
<p />
<ul class="jive-dash">
<li>when there are Search Collections, that portal hans up and later on will
 be stopped automatically. This problem is consistent whenever we create Sea
rch Collections.</li>
</ul>
<br />
this are a few i could mention. could anyone give me your thoughts about thi
s!<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!

hello guys,<br />
<br />
anyone here used WebSphere Portal v5.1.0.5? Or even knows how I could work-a
round with my problems as stated on my previous post?<br />
<br />
your replies would be much appreciated!

for the install problem.  Is this a cluster that you are having the problem 
with?  are you running out of temp space? what os is this on?<br />

hello jim,<br />
<br />
i am using aix5L v5.3 and i still have lot of space for my temp folder. howe
ver there are times where i got "out of memory" error of the whole system. i
 think this happens when my portal hungs and then suddenly stops i think its
 running out of paging spac
e.

well the out of memory happens to pertain to the jvm memory itself, not what
 is available in your temp folder.  What are your heap settings for your por
tal server?<br />
<br />
You can find these in the was admin console under the jvm settings.<br />

It sounds like you might have a missbehaving application then.  <br />
What I would do then is the following steps in the technote<br />
<br />
<a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=688&
;ca=portall2&uid=swg21209460">http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docvie...a=portall2& uid=swg21209460</a><br />
<br />
then open a PMR with support and they can help on why you are running into a
n OOM condition<br />

thanks jim,<br />
<br />
i already opened a PMR for my Search Collection problem. However, do you hav
e any ideas as to why it took me at least 3 hours to have a complete portlet
 installation????

ng out of file space or memory?<br />
