CUP support for Automated Approval via web service

Wanted to know if a stage in a workflow defined in CUP can be defined that invokes a custom web service that returns an approval indicator. All the web services I've seen in GRC are at predetermined points or prebuilt integration sections. We need the ability for a custom web service to be invoked when this stage is encountered in the request workflow. If the web service return true, then the stage would be deemed approved and move onto the next state. Out hope is to automate the approval process so that a user does not need to approve the stage themselves. thanks in advance.

Hi Brian,
The webservices defined normally interact with the other GRC components. I've not seen the approval workflow interact with custom webservices.
It would probably involve fairly in depth customisation of the java services and code.
I thnk that the CUP workflow is pretty much self contained and therefore can only read approvals from it's own engine.

Support for document and documentwrapped web services

List,
Are "document" and "documentwrapped" style web services supported in WSL 8.1 SP1?
The
documentation referenced below [1] [2] indicates that these styles are supported,
but in the
Unsupported Features section of the Web Services overview [3] states the RPC literal
style and
Document encoded style are not supported. It is my understanding that the style
attribute
values of the servicegen ant task map to the SOAP encodings as follows:
RPC -> SOAP RPC
documentwrapped -> SOAP RPC-literal
document -> SOAP document-literal
Is this correct?

[3] http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/webserv/overview.html#1074641

So is it a true statement that if I use the documentwrapped style, I don't have
the restriction
of having only one void method while gaining the scalability and performance benefits
[1] of
SOAP document-literal encoding? Does the documentwrapped style have any restrictions
regarding out and in-out parameters? If so, what is the correct way in Java to
specify a
parameter as "IN" only?
Thanks again,

So in the style, you can only have one void
method. WLS tools (servicegen/source2wsdd) do
not enforce this. Which I think is a bug.

Bruce,
How do the restrictions apply to methods that do not have any paramters?
>>>
I have attached a copy of the weblogic webservice complex example that I
modified
to use
document style encoding and contains two noarg methods, getVersion
and
getAnotherVersion. I also modified the buy and sell methods to take single arguments.
Following are the results from the test web page for a call to getAnotherVersion.

What am I missing? BTW - I am using Weblogic Server 8.1 SP1.
Also, how does the weblogic documentwrapped style map to the SOAP encodings
SOAP RPC, SOAP RPC-literal, and SOAP document-literal? Are the messages encoded
SOAP doc/lit, but the programming model allows for multiple parameters? Is
the documentwrapped style specific to weblogic webservices?
And finally, given Java is a pass by value language, do I need to
do
anything
special to the webservice method signatures to specify the parameters
as
"IN"
parameters?
Thanks for all the help. From looking at the list traffic, your
keeping
busy.

Hi Kent,
There are restrictions on the doc/lit style of encoding, such as
the
methods that implement each operation of the Web Service can have only
one parameter and the methods that implement each operation cannot use
out and in-out parameters. The documentwrapped generates a resulting
Web Service operations that can take any number of parameters, although
the parameter values will be wrapped into one complex data type in the
SOAP messages. Manoj has an example of documentwrapped [1].
We do not support rpc/lit. You might want to review this note by Yasser

Books of business - supported via web services

Are books of business supported in R15 via web services interface? If we create a new Contact, Account or Opportunity, can we associate it to a specific book? I can't find any documentation on this subject.
If not, what's the point of using this functionality? We have over 13,000 different zip code ranges in our territory structure in Oracle 11i CRM, and would like to be able to maintain some sort of parallel structure in OnDemand via web services integration.
Are we stuck with creating Sales Team records for all object types? Seems very cumbersome to have to add a specific user to 100,000 different records, when we could simply assign them to a single book of business and accomplish the same thing.
Thanks,
Scott

Scott, web services will not be supported for book of business in R15. However, I passing this information to our On Demand product marketing. Thanks for the feedback.

Calling a CAF program via web service generates QName cannot be null error, but only for 1/5 of the same call in a parallel for loop.

I'm calling 5 identical web service calls using a parallel for loop in BPM. Obviously the data in each slightly differs. Why would this call suspend the process and give the following errors:

Surely if it was the service group unassign then reassign issue then none of the calls would have worked?

Hi David,
While a random error is still an error it will be difficult for support to find a problem for an error which is not reproducible. It is always a faster resolution if you can determine how to provoke the error and provide those details. If we can reproduce an error on internal systems then we can fix the problem quickly and without having to access your system.

Update/insert/delete data from xcelsius to Database via web service

Hi,
I need to create dashboard that go function can update/insert/delete data send to Database thru web services, as i know got 2 xcelsius add-on software which support those of function InfoBurst and flynet 
InfoBurst
http://www.infosol.com/azbocug/minutes/4-Writeback%20to%20a%20Database%20with%20Xcelsius.pdf
flynet 
http://www.flynetviewer.com/public/community/Blogs/FlynetXcelsiusServerUser/default.aspx
Except this 2 purchase add-on xcelsius, any other solution ?
Maybe need to write some in MSSQL or C# programming which enable insert, update, delete ...etc ?
*note: i not use Xcelsius Engage Server , i use Xcelsius Engage only
thanks,
regards

Edited by: Leong Pui Kee on Mar 1, 2011 6:06 AM

Hi,
As of now in Xcelsius/Dashboard Design there is no feature or functionality to insert/update/delete data from database.
Solution:
Create a Web service in let’s say C# or Java, which will perform insert/update/delete operation.
In Xcelsius add Web Service connection and user above web service.
Xcelsius Web Service connection provides option to pass input values to a Web Service (Input Pane) and get the result (Output values pane).
We can pass values to be written to the database as a input to Web Service via Web Service connection from Xcelsius and write data to the database.
Note:
Performing delete operation from Xcelsius Dashboard could be risky and may delete important data from database. I would not prefer giving delete option/functionality in Xcelsius dashboard.
Hope this helps!
Thank you.

How to download a file via web service in Windows Phone 8.1?

My project just got 2 part.
1.Pivot app
2.Webclient server (provide data for pivot app the view the data)
My concert that how do i do a download button to download a file via web services in to isolated storage.
urgent!

something like this:
public async System.Threading.Tasks.Task DownloadFile()
using (var client = new Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient())
var stream = await client.GetInputStreamAsync(new System.Uri("http://urltomyfile"));
var file = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.CreateFileAsync("myfile.txt", CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
using (var fileStream = await file.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite))
IBuffer buffer = new Windows.Storage.Streams.Buffer(1024);
while ((buffer = await stream.ReadAsync(buffer, buffer.Capacity, InputStreamOptions.None)).Length > 0)
await fileStream.WriteAsync(buffer);
await fileStream.FlushAsync();
how is your webservices offering the file?

Getting error while creating Customer Invoice Request via Web Service

Hello,
I am trying to create customer invoice request via web service.
But I am getting the error message "No scheme configuration found for scheme '&CIRHP&' " continuously.
It is working fine in reference tenant. But using the same payload its giving error in another tenant.
Can you please tell me what is the root cause for this error?
I have included the payload used in the prototype tenant(Payload.txt) and screen shot of the error.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
Check the WSDL file is wellformed or not..You can test it using tools like XML Spy.
Might be the attribute tag is missing something..If WSDL file is correct then, create proxy by selecting the WSDL file from local machine..

Statemanagement Service API via web services

All,
I have been able to get the state property of a resource (i.e. "In Progress") via the KM web service, but have not been able to change the status to "Awaiting Approval" via a web service (SetProperty does not work as the "state" property is read-only). There are several examples of Java code leveraging the State Management API either via a Repository Service, WD4J, etc., but non of them are via a web service (i.e. callable from ABAP). Can someone please confirm whether or not the State Managment functionality is available via the KM Web Service API's and if so, which method?
Just want to make sure I've exhausted this approach prior to having to embark on creating a Repository Servce.
Thanks,
Chad

Hello,
No idea of using a web service to get it done from ABAP.
But you know any web service which changes the value of any KM Properties via Web Service.

Inserting Opportunities via web services

We have 2 sales processes defined for our business, when using the insert method on opportunities we are only able to successfully insert opportunities who use sales stages from the default sales process. Any time we try to insert an opportunity using a sales stage from the other process we get a bounded picklist violation
Has anyone been able to successfully insert web services via web services ?
Did you encounter anything similar to this ?

Unlike the UI, you need to explicitly identify the Sales Process in your Opportunity call.

User Management via Web Services

Hi,
We are investigating building a user management application that will control user creation and management across a range of applications, including SAP ECC6 and BW. The idea is to use web services to interact with the systems. I have seen that a range of BAPIs exist for managing users (e.g. BAPI_USER_CREATE, BAPI_USER_CHANGE) - does anyone have any experience in using these BAPIs via web services that they would be willing to share?
Thanks

HI Colin,
We did that successfully. It was webservice/infopath based Interactive . net form which would do user management and also Workflow funtionality. In summary from my experience
- Initial cost would be cheaper, however ongoing maintainance on whole infrastructure should be considered.
- SAP BAPI/FM/webservice development was very easy
- Integration with Infopath was challange
- Fronted development was pain as you would need other people to do that for you
- Once operational, was very easy to managed
- Future enhancement was limitless
- Limitation of integration to other technology
- Should only be justifiable in absence of IDM solution
- Too much custom development
- Change management in SAP was easy (Transport, testing, QA etc) however Infopath and Frontend change Management was not easy
Let me know what other information you need. Finding BAPI's and designing in SAP is the easy part, you should think more about how you are going to deploy Webservice to end users.
However if your IT department has more bucks to spend, think about more longer term solution and towards IDM or product such as GRC etc.

Update key mapping via web service

Hi ,
I have a question about edit key mapping. The problem is that we create vendors in MDM and syndicate them to different ERP systems. To decide which system a new vendor/changes must be send to, I need the Edit Key Mapping, but the users do not want to enter this information manually and I do not see how I can create key mapping automatically.
We are working on a new solution where vendors are entered in sharepoint and updated in MDM via web services. I would like to know if one of you know if key mapping can be maintained via a web service.
Kind regards
Jonna

Hello,
You may use the document,
