Click OK. Publishing a Portlet Externally

Working with Page Groups 4-27 Objects page group. Oracle Portal appends a value to the moved category, such as sample_category_AABkUWAAJAABpiAAC. You can revise the internal name, but you cannot give it the same Name as any other object in the Shared Objects page group. Objects can be moved to the Shared Objects page group whose default language is English from a non-English page group only if the object already has an English translation. This applies to all promotable objects: item types, page types, categories, perspectives, attributes, and styles. To move an object from its page group to the Shared Objects page group: 1. Log in to Oracle Portal.

2. Click the Build tab to bring it forward.

3. From the Page Groups portlet Work In drop-down list, select the page group from

which to move an object. By default, the Page Groups portlet is located on the Build tab of the Portal Builder page.

4. Click the Browse link next to the selected page group.

This opens the Portal Navigator. 5. In the Navigator, click the type of object you will move. For example, click the Categories link. 6. Click the Move to Shared link next to the object you will move. Remember that you cannot move pages, templates, or navigation pages to the Shared Objects page group. You must create these within the Shared Objects page group in order to share them across page groups. When you move an object to the Shared Objects page group, if an object of the same type with the same name exists in another page group, a value is added to the end of the objects name in the Shared Objects page group to ensure that it remains unique across all page groups. For example, if the category sales appears in more than one page group, and you move one of these to the Shared Objects page group, it will be renamed automatically in the Shared Objects page group to something like sales_AAAYq2AAJAAAeqAAAC to maintain its name uniqueness across page groups. For more information about object naming rules in Oracle Portal, see Appendix D, Object Naming Rules in Oracle Portal .

7. On the confirmation page, click Yes.

The moved object is no longer listed under its original parent page. Look in the Shared Objects page group to locate the moved object. Note: If you promote a non-public style that is, a style for which the Make Public check box is not selected, the style is moved to the Shared Object page group, but is not made public. If you want other users to be able to use the style, you must explicitly make it public.
