Is it possible to add a user using the RESTful Web Services SDK

Others have asked before about user management features in the RESTful Web Services SDK. However I can find no answers or links which provide an answer to the question 'Is it possible to add a user using the BI 4.1 SP2 RESTful Web Services SDK'?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve
Unfortunately, not possible. The BI RESTful can only get "stuff" that is already there. I suppose this would fall under some sort of "Object Creation" API and that is not there. Yet. Rumors abound, but nothing firm. Just as a BTW.; the Business Intelligence platform RESTful Web Service Developer Guide 4.1 is here:

Details on how to use the RESTful Web Services SDK

Hello,
this sounds really interesting for an important use case we're currently developing. Unfortunately, I am not a skilled developer and would therefore need to know two more things:
1) in the beginning, it says ''assumes that there are no parameter values that need to be set'. Is this a core restriction or just to keep things simpel for this example? For our specific use case, we would need to at least transmit a report name and an execution date (which is not necessarily always equal to 'today')
2) can we have the PDF sent to a Netweaver App Server? Can the target location there be parameterized somehow?
3) I understzand that there's also the Open Doc interface that could achieve similar features. Could you please elaborate which are the differences in the two approaches, maybe even pros and cons?
Thanks
Philipp

Hi Philipp,
1) This is just to keep things simple for the example
2) You would need to first send the PDF to a file system, and then have a separate process to send it to the Netweaver App Server. There isn't built-in integration to the Netweaver App Server.
3) Stated simply:
OpenDocument allows you to reference content via a single URL, best used for embedding content in your web page or application. Pro: Simplest Option Con: Less power than REST API
The REST API allows you to manipulate report objects in Web Intelligence and do things like set datasource and create report scheduling jobs. Pro: More Power and Flexibility Con: Requires knowledge of programming with REST APIs.

How can I o create, modify or delete users using OIM 11g web services?

Hi,
I have a requirement to create, modify or delete users using OIM 11g web services.
The end users will be signing on to the online application, a user interface to request ids online. The user interface is the home grown application to request ids.
I want to integrate this user interface with OIM 11g. I generated the java classes using the out of the box wsdl file as mentioned in the Developer’s Guide for Oracle Identity Manager 11g. But I need to know how to create users using web server client from a given wsdl file? Is there a sample web service client program to create a user in OIM?
If you know of any document which I can follow or if you can give any details I really appreciate.
Thanks and Regards,
Viraf

Hi Chong,
Were you able to figure out the approach? I am facing the same issue like this. I have created a web service where the input values are no. of days to extend user's end date and user's employee ID. Output will be true or false. But I am getting error while searching user in OIM DB. I think my web service is not to query OIM DB
Please let me know if you have worked on this senario.
Thanks,
Kalpana.

Connect to SharePoint web service using the XML / Web Service connector

Hi experts,
I am currently trying to display my SharePoint list in Crystal Report. Therefore my plan is to use a SharePoint web service to get the data and paste them to the Crystal Report.
Is it possible to use the "XML and Web services" connector of the Crystal Reports database expert?
When I enter the web service URL, for instance:
https://[url]/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?wsdl
and click next... I have to enter the web service credentials.
On the next page I have to enter Service, Port and Method.
Do I have to enter the service URL again here?
What If, there is no port? Can I leave that field empty?
I know the methods, but where can I add the mandatory parameters?
Thanks for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Hi Ananth,
thank you, but this document does not help at all.
We are using Crystal Reports 2008 SP2.
We want to use the Web Service Connector.
What I need is more informationen about the Web service connect. For example - the connection in Microsoft InfoPath is much easier - there I don't have to enter a port and can choose the methods from a list.
Is it possible to use the Crystal web service connector for MS SharePoint Webservices?
Or must I use the Crystal SDK to carry out a connection?
Best regards,
Sebastian

Multiple users, using the same web app items?

Iam building a service for familes were the parents should be able to read / add / edit the same secure web app items.
So when logged in the user have access to the same user submitted web app items.
I found a thread answerd by Liam and my guess this is not possible? Can it be partial be done e.g. just let the "family" read the familys items? And no there is not possible to add / pair the users in backend because there are to many.
Any tip where to look? I have tried to use the "uniqe ID, datasource, unique template" method but do you "wizards" :-) think that's the way to go?
This thread suggest it's not doable.

Thanks!

Not in association Johan no.
You can have one "Family" login they all use to log in but it will kick one out if the other logs in and of course, multiple people sharing the same login increases the security risk.
You can only set one owner as well.

Thin-client uses a RESTful Web Service

Hello everyone!
Once I've develop a few web services, it's time to "consume" them. I'm trying to develop a thin-client in JAVA (with the netbeans ide) but I haven't found the best way to do it.
So, which is the best way to create a LabVIEW RESTful webservice?
Obviously, JAVA is an option, how about create a client with another VI?
Greetings!
Francisco José Gómez López
Software Engineer

1) Are you trying to create a RESTful web service in LabVIEW?
or
2) Are you wondering about creating a thin client to consume the web service?
A1) Web Services in LabVIEW
A2) LabVIEW WebUI Builder You can create a VI to act as a client for your web services, but not a thin client (i.e. running in the browser)

Can we use REST web service as Data source in SSRS? !!!!NOT SOAP!!!!

Hello,
We have requirement to use the REST web service as the Data source of SSRS. Tried with XML as Data Source, but unfortunately I could not succeed because the query expects SOAPAction which is not available in REST Service.
Do we have any option to use REST Service, if so please provide some basic example, so that I can try out some options.
If not, do we have any alternate solutions to handle these situations?
Thanks!
Vinay

Hi Vinay.
After looking on it for some time, I am afraid currently there is no document to talk on how to use the REST web service as a data source.
You can use the link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa964129(v=SQL.90).aspx for a renference.
From a support perspective currently this is really beyond what we can do here in the forums. If you cannot determine your answer here or on your own, consider opening a
support case with us. Visit this link to see the various support options that are available to better meet your needs: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=fh;en-us;offerprophone

How to use RESTful Web Services provided from BO Enterprise

Hi Experts,
i am trying to use the Web Service "BIPLATFORM" provided by BusinessObjects Enterprise. As I have trouble reading the WSDL i tried to use the REST interface.
Unfortunatally I cannot find any Docu about that in the internet.
Does anybody have experience in using the BIPLATFORM web service?
Thank you in advance

Thank you very much for your instant answer and help!
I got it now: "no rest in biplatform service"
What made me think REST is possible was only the following entry in ...\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\conf\axis2.xml
"
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
<parameter name="disableREST" locked="true">false</parameter>
- 
Anyway I was only hoping to get REST work as the WSDL provided by BusinessObjects Enterprise is not valid to be parsed by SAP Netweaver ABAP SOAP Runtime...
I regret but i have to add: The fact that the web service is only meant to work with certain consumers shows that the people responsible have little to no understanding what the idea of SOAP, SOA and WSDL really is. On the one hand SAP was always pushing their ESOA idea but on the other hand we got this strange limitations like "only for these clients..."
This is exactly the opposite of the SOAP-idea:
"The framework has been designed to be independent of any particular programming model and other implementation specific semantics." - http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-soap12-part1-20070427/

User Defined Fields Through Web Services

Hi,
I have written a function which can return Activities using the Primavera web services
The code I have used looks like this
private static List readActivities()
throws Exception
URL url = new URL("http://localhost:7001/p6ws/services/ActivityService?wsdl");
ActivityService activityservice = new ActivityService(url);
ActivityPortType activityporttype = activityservice.getActivityPort();
BindingProvider bindingprovider = (BindingProvider)activityporttype;
List fieldList = new ArrayList();
ActivityFieldType[] fTypes = ActivityFieldType.values();
for(int Counter = 0; Counter < fTypes.length; Counter ++)
fieldList.add(fTypes[Counter].value());
List actList = activityporttype.readActivities(fieldList, "Id = '123456'");
return actList;
This then returns a list activities with the ID 123456 however I don't know how to return the User Definaed fields that relate to the Activities along with it.
If any one can offer any insight into this, I will be very grateful.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Chris

I am facing exactly the same problem. Please be kind enough to share the tech. with me.
Thanks in advance !!

Create Lead with Oracle BPEL process using Siebel CRMOD web service

I'm trying to create a lead in the siebel OD (hosted) with a oracle BPEL process and using the siebel web service (2.0). In my bpel process I've been able to
1. Login to OD and get a session id
2. create the partner link using Siebel OD (version 2.0) wsdl for Lead
3. Assign the session id to the partner link
4. Assign the inputs (lastname, firstname, leadowner, viewMode=Personal, lovLanguageMode=LDC) to lead
5. Call the leadInsert operation on the partner link
However, when I deploy and execute the bpel process it breaks after calling the leadInsert with the following error message:

Hi,
We are also using BPEL to send data out to SIEBEL CRMOD.
I've created a proxy that deals with authentication and session management.
All you have to do is to deploy the proxy as a war file and refrence it as the end-point of your partner link.
Code is here:

Is there a way to give a local user permission to add a local user using the local group policy editor?

I need to find a way to have the local administrator of a Windows Server 2012 system grant a local user (non-administrator) the ability to add a user for the machine using the local group policy editor. The machine is not part of any Active Directory environment,
this is strictly on the one machine. In my situation it is not an option to just make the user an administrator. The idea is to give someone the right to add a user and have no other such administrative rights. I need to accomplish this using the
Local Group Policy editor or the Group Policy Management Console if it is possible to do this outside of an active directory environment. This is not an assignment to learn how to use these tools and I am not even sure if it would even be possible though I
need to either find a way or find proof that it is not possible using these applications.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay reply.
So did you want to non-admin user have the ability to add another user?
As far as i know, we cannot add the user if we have no local admin permission, we will receive the error"Access denied".
Regards.

What can be the error?
Your help is much appreciated.

Many thanks for your response. I am just trying to add the Oracle user.
This is a brand new install on a new solaris vm and it puzzles me as to the reasons for this error.
I did as suggested.
The return code was:

Is it possible to use the JAVA Report Engine SDK to modify DESKI reports?

Post Author: Nadine
CA Forum: JAVA
Hi, is it possible to add a complex filter to a DESKI report using the JAVA report engine sdk?
In the developer tutorials for this API, I've only found references to WEBI in terms of modifying reports, though it seems to be possible to view DESKI reports with this sdk.
I am a bit confused in terms of the scope of this API and how I would use it in regard to DESKI.
Many thanks for any suggestions!
Nadine

Post Author: Ted Ueda
CA Forum: JAVA
Current (XI R2) version of ReportEngine API only supports refreshing/viewing functionality for Desktop Intelligence documents. Document modification/creation is only supported with Web Intelligence documents. Queries aren't modifiable for Deski using ReportEngine API - you can only do so using Desktop Intelligence Reporter SDK, which is COM based.Sincerely,Ted Ueda

How can I add a user to the current session context ?

Hello,
I would like to use the programmatic authorization of servlets ( the roles are defined
in the servlet deployment descriptor web.xml ). But I don' t use the authentication
specified in the servlet deployment descriptor.
Is it possible to populate a user to the session/servlet context without using the
authentication specified in the deployment descriptor ? How can I do ? ( cookie ?
methods ? ... )
Thank you for your answer.
Nicolas.
