Amazon Web Services for data-driven app?

Has anyone ever used Amazon's Web Services to house a database for their app?
Have you ever used the iOS SDK?
Is it any good?

Please post ASP.NET questions in the ASP.NET forums (http://forums.asp.net ).

After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"

After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"
The system logs reads:
Mar 29 22:06:25 server servermgrd[82]: servermgr_web: Error Domain=XSServerFoundationErrorDomain Code=4 "Failed to read settings: Exception:
          undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass
          ." UserInfo=0x7fc547901080 {NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to read settings: Exception:
          undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass

To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect. That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

Creating Web service for PL/SQL Procedure with Complex Data Types

I need to created web service for PL/SQL Procedure with Complex Data types like table of records as parameters, how do we map the pl/sql table type parameters with web service, how to go about these?

Hello,
When you are creating a service from a Stored Procedure, the OracleAS WS tools will create necessary Java and PL wrapper code to handle the complex types (table of record) properly and make them compatible with XML format for SOAP messages.
So what you should do is to use JDeveloper or WSA command line, to create a service from your store procedure and you will see that most of the work will be done for you.
You can find more information in the:
- Developing Web Services that Expose Database Resources
chapter of the Web Service Developer's guide.

Can "SPML Web Service Complex Data Type field" take multiple values ?

In Generic Technology Connector's -SPML design parameters section, Can we give multiple values in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type field?
If not, how can i call methods directly instead of calling them through a values of the "name" attribute of the "complexType" element in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type?
I need 'SPML Web Service Complex Data Type' to hold multiple values.And based on the request it has to initiate appropriate method of action.
Presently i have three methods add,modify and delete which i am calling through a single value of the "name" attribute of the "complexType" element in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type.
I want to replace this single value with multiple menthods , so that a direct interaction between the method,OIM and target can be established.

Thanks Robert.
You'll need to create your own interface to the webapp database for those kind of data operations
by this, are you speaking of the internal BC database which stores web app schema data? That would be great if it were possible to update that programmatically because I need to use the List (Checkbox List) field type (for the search functionality), but I need to supply the checkbox options from a web app rather than by manually updating the list entered in the Fields view of the web app settings (shown below).
I'm curious if anyone else has tried this?
Again, my reason for needing to use the List (Checkbox List) field type is that the page which processes searches knows to expect a comma separated list for this field type and then appears to be parsing out the individual values for searching out web app items with 1 or more matching values. You're right that text fields (string and multiline) just check for 'string contains' matches, and this would be ok if I was only ever needing to search just one value at a time. Here's an example of what I might do:
Web App item field value (as recorded against the List (Checkbox List) field type:
8294877,8294878
Web App Search value (for this same field):
8294879,8294877,8294885
The search would return this web app item because the field contains 2 (1 or more) individual values even though they were entered into the search field in a different order. If this web app item were just a Text (string or multiline) field, the searched value is not a substring of the web app item's stored value, so it would not find a match. Hence the need to use Checkbox List field type.
The web app will have thousands if not 10s of thousands of records, so dumping them all into one big array or object and searching on the front-end won't be practical (though it works great on smaller datasets).

Invalidate Adaptive Web Service Meta Data Cache?

As the subject says - how can I invalidate the Adaptive Web Service meta data cache? Currently, the only way we can invalidate the cache is to restart the app server, which takes quite a while.
I've tried restarting the Web Dynpro Runtime service, but this didn't do anything.
We're running nw70.

Hi,
Please consider the following:
For JCO Models running on NW 7.2 you go to:
1) NWA
2) Availability and Performance Management --> Resource Monitoring
3) JCO Monitoring
4) Metadata Cache
5) Click on clear of the desired cache region.
For WebServices Cache, please follow the instructions as per notes below:
Note 1088382 - WSIL results are cached after search
Note 1123574 - Caching functionality of the Web service connector

TS4055 How do I use my MacBook Air to access the Amazon Web Service?

How do I use my MacBook Air to access AWS (Amazon web Service)? The information provided to me by Apple Care seems to be about allowing outside access to my MacBook.

Sorry, but does this relate to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs, in some way? If so, how are you using ARD in relation to Amazon's services?

How do I use Adobe Media Server 5 on Amazon Web Services?

Adobe Media Server 5 on Amazon Web Services was suggested to my project manager as a way to deal with some of the video we have to host at work, but after signing up and poking around, I'm wondering: how do you actually use it? Is it something that requires the Media Server software, or is there a web interface through AWS? I follow the links, and they tell me it's already active for my account - but I still see no way to use it.
Thanks in advance for help on this seemingly remedial question!

Hi,
Please have a look at the document and let me know if it helps you get started: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/adobemediaserver/amazonec2/adobemediaserve r_5.0_amazonec2.pdf

XI for create web servicies for SAP R/3 4.6C

Hi All,
we are implementing PM (Plant Management) module of SAP R/3 4.6C and we have the necessity to create web services for some PM functionalities. Infact we need to integrate our SAP R/3 4.6C with other applications (non-SAP) through TIBCO (it's mandatory). So we think to use SAP XI. Moreover our users don't want to use SAP GUI for the accessing to the PM functionalities but they want an UI more friendly. So we think to use SAP EP.
Which is your opinion about this architectural scenario? Is it possible to fulfil the requirement of our business users with a more simple architectural solution (for example with WEB DYNPRO)?
Many thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Regards,
Bob

Infact we need to integrate our SAP R/3 4.6C with other applications (non-SAP) through TIBCO (it's mandatory). So we think to use SAP XI.
TIBCO is another middleware. So once you expose your R/3 functionalities as web service, you may directly use TIBCO to integrate and XI won't be required at all.
Moreover our users don't want to use SAP GUI for the accessing to the PM functionalities but they want an UI more friendly.
WebDynpro application would provide you an easy GUI and could act as Soap client as well to send data.

FMS on Amazon Web Services License. Does it need enter License(Serial Key)?

FMS on Amazon Web Services License. Does it need enter License(Serial Key)?
After Subscribe on adobe.com(Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5 on Amazon Web Services)
I build the Amazon EC2 successfully.
In amazonpayments, the amazon show me an Activation Key.
On Application Activation:
The screen give me following information.
Generate an Amazon Activation Key
An activation key may be required as part of an application's registration process. If your application requires it, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Click on the Generate Key link to generate an activation key for an application.
Step 2: Copy the activation key.
Step 3: Click on Go to Application to access the application.
Step 4: Paste the activation key if and where the application specifies.
But in Adobe Flash Media Administration console, It is missing the License(Serial Key)
Does it need enter License(Serial Key)?
How can I use the Activation Key?

Hi,
This Activation Key is only for identification purposes. In most cases, you will not have to use it. Once you subscribe to FMS on AWS, you are ready to go and use FMS AMI's.
Also, FMS on AWS does NOT require any License or Key. It works on a separate Licensing model.
Thanks!

Persisting legal FMS 5.0 licenses on Amazon Web Services through future up-sizing?

I am running the developer version Flash Media Server 5.0.1 (Windows) on a x64 Amazon Web Services small instance VM. The starter AMI for the server was one of the stock AMIs built by Amazon.
I have a shiny new license for FMS Professional but not yet applied to FMS.
I want to apply the license now and continue running as a small instance until I need more performance. Eventually I will want to gradually and periodically up-size it to increasingly larger AWS instances.
Is this possible with the FMS license?
Will I have any issues of invalidating the license because the underlying hardware configuration changes?
What will I need to do to ensure that I can upsize the same server (not create a new one) without invalidating the FMS license?
What other issues should I know about that I am too ignorant to ask?
Thanks,
Ken

I understand that I must terminate one instance.
I am not trying to run two instances (virtual computers) with a single AMS license.
Are you saying that I can freely "move" the license from one instance to another as long as the license is applied to only one instance (server) at a time?
I need to know if changing the number of virtual cpus and/or the ram will invalidate the AMS license activation.

Web Service as Data Service of a Combo Box?

Hi,
I tried to use a Web Service as Data Service for a dynamic entry list of a Combo Box. The problem is that I cant see any entry in the resulting iView.
The Web Service is working for sure; I can present the containing data in a table. I also tested BAPIS as Data Service for my Combo Box they are working properly.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
Robert

Hi Jarrod,
I tried a drop down list instead, still the same Problem. The connection to the web service works properly there is no problem. I can choose it and the data service test is working fine.
I also tried to use a value help instead of a drop down list, there encounters the problem that its not possible to select any of my data services, neither web services nor BAPIs.
Any idea?

1588667 - SAP on AWS: Overview of related SAP Notes and Web-Links
After researching a bit I came across the below Information:
Build your own SAP environment on AWS
AWS and SAP have collaborated to offer customers options and convenience when deploying SAP applications in the cloud. Customers can now license SAP applications to run in the AWS cloud computing environment from an authorized SAP reseller, or use their existing SAP software licenses on Amazon EC2, with no additional SAP license fees. AWS cloud infrastructure services can be purchased directly from AWS or through one of our Resellers. SAP software licenses are sold directly by SAP or their affiliated channel partners. System integration, deployment, and hosting services are available through SAP partners and AWS Solution Providers.
The following are the steps required to get started building your own SAP environment on AWS:
Step 0: Planning
In order to properly size and configure SAP solutions on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, customers should follow these guidelines established by SAP and AWS
Use the SAP Quick Sizer
Follow the technical guidelines outlined in SAP Note 1588667
Step 1: New to AWS?
Sign up for an AWS Account
Read the Getting Started with AWS Guide
Step 2: Implement the Required Compute, Storage, and Network Resources
For detailed information and best practice guidelines on the steps necessary to implement SAP solutions on the required AWS infrastructure for an SAP environment please read the Implementing SAP Solutions on AWS Guide.
Step 3: How to Install/Deploy SAP Solutions
The AWS Management Console provides an easy-to-use graphical interface to manage your compute, storage, and other cloud resources. Most AWS products can be used from inside the console, and the console supports the majority of functionality for each service.
To begin to install SAP software on Amazon EC2 start with a base Windows Server, SUSE Linux Enterprise or Red Hat Enterprise Linux system image and then install the SAP software just as you would on any physical or virtual server.
Automate your deployment or launch directly into your AWS account using the SAP HANA on the AWS Cloud Quick Start Reference Deployment, which serves as a reference and provides architectural considerations and configuration steps necessary for deploying SAP HANA on AWS utilizing a “Bring Your Own License (BYOL)” scenario.
Step 4: Run SAP Solutions on AWS
Now that you have installed the software on the AWS cloud, there are special considerations that need to be taken into account to run SAP solutions on AWS.

Creating RESTful Web Service for BLOB retrieval

Hi,
Just got RESTful web services working in Apex 4.2.1 with new Listener 2.1.
I have now been asked to create a RESTful web service by which photos in BLOB column can be retrieved upon providing the ID for that photo. Can this be done using the Creating RESTful Service Module of Apex 4.2.1? Looking at the Apex 4.2 documentation, I would assume this can be done, but has anyone used this with BLOB data?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat,
Yes this can be done using RESTful Services - you just need to ensure the query used is in the required format. To obtain a BLOB for a given ID, you would need create a Resource template and handler with the following settings:
Resource Template Settings:
URI template: emppic/{id}
Resource Handler Settings:
Source query: select mimetype, product_image from demo_product_info where product_id = :id..where the format of the SQL query is SELECT 'content_type', blob_column FROM . . ., as mentioned in Rick Greenwald's Cloud White paper "RESTful Web Services for the Oracle Database Cloud", under the "SQL Source Type" section (see www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-cloud/public/restful-wp-1844130.pdf ):
where 'content_type' is a string passed to the browser to be used to identify the incoming data, and the column to identify the source of the data being sent back. This data is sent back untouched by the Oracle Database Cloud Service. The Media Resource Source Type is typically used for media objects, such as images, where the data will be directly handled by the recipient making the call.The MIMETYPE column in the sample query above holds the necessary setting for the 'content_type' i.e. 'image/jpeg'. The value of ID is then passed in as a parameter when calling the service e.g. emppic/1234. The item level help text would be more helpful if it included additional information, and this is something we intend on addressing in a future release.
I hope this example helps.

Hilary

Configuring Web Services for Oracle XML DB

Hi all...
I think I need some help one this subject....
We have a 10G Release 2 Oracle single instance ( not RAC) install on a Linux Redhat v5.3 64 bit server. Are developers are user Visual Studio .Net and wnat to send xml files to a web service so that the xml file (containing data) can call a PL/SQL package (to be written) which will take the data out of the xml input file and insert rows into a prefined table within the instance. Now they have browsed the web and have come upon the following links...
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28369/xdb_web_services.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28369/xdb22pro.htm#i1026724
Currently, within the database I looked at the schema XDB and have unlocked the account and connected as the user XDB. There are some 680 objects in the following groups...
SQL> select object_type, count(*) from dba_objects where owner='XDB' group by object_type;
OBJECT_TYPE COUNT(*)
SEQUENCE 2
PROCEDURE 5
OPERATOR 8
LOB 334
LIBRARY 12
PACKAGE 20
PACKAGE BODY 17
XML SCHEMA 25
TYPE BODY 5
TRIGGER 12
TABLE 36
INDEX 51
FUNCTION 5
INDEXTYPE 2
VIEW 2
TYPE 144
16 rows selected.
Now in the links above it mentions that the xdbconfig.xml needs to be altered etc. However, I have searched the entire $ORACLE_HOME and there is no file definition of that description.
From a DBA prospective...what do I have to install on the Linux server? I assume from the Oracle Database 10g Companion Products I need to lay down Oracle HTTP Server in a new Oracle home as the first step...or not? Does the HTML DB need to be installed as well?
And for Configuring Web Services for Oracle XML DB...what else has to be installed? And from what product line?
Thanks in Advance....
Cheers
Roegr

Hi Marco...
First of all ...thanks for the reply.
I followed the link and the infor in that web page. However, there were a few things that did not work....
1. The http://localhost:8080/ as is brought up a web page withe the heading as
==========
ORACLE DATABASE 10g EXPRESS EDITION LICENSE AGREEMENT..
==========
The other browser test ftp://localhost:2100/
did not find any page?
2. Then I went onto running (as the sysdba) the pl/sql to enable the ORAWSV Entry Service
however it error out. So I did a describe on DBMS_XDB and the function deleteServlet does not appear
then I had a look and this link to > http://www.liberidu.com/blog/?p=471
was for 11G and the other link > http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28369.pdf
was for 11G.
However, we are on 10G
=================
SQL> select * from V$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.3.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
==================
So is there must be other sql for 10G?
Cheers
