Oracle WebCenter Portal 11g Developer Workshop
Lab 01 – Creating the OraHealth Portal
Page 2 of 14
Overview
The goal of this lab is to create the OraHealth portal and its basic structure. We will also see the common settings for the portal, most of which will be explored in future labs. WebCenter Portal provides a web-based interface to create and manage the Portals. The development tool (JDeveloper) is only required to create custom resources, such as page templates, skins, Task Flows, etc. At the end of this exercise, you will be able to: 1. Create a new Portal
2. Define the Page hierarchy for the portal
3. Configure basic settings for the portal
4. Enable services for the portal

14. Change the Portal Icon and Logo by uploading new files. The files are:
o Icon: lab_assets/OraHealth/images/orahealthico_s.jpg
o Logo: lab_assets/OraHealth/images/orahealthico.jpg
15. Go to the Pages tab and notice the page hierarchy that was created on the Portal. Observe that we can reposition the pages, and create new pages in this hierarchy.
