API - XML - Web service searching

I'm looking at Final Cut Server to integrate into our broadcast workflow and manage the whole process from creation to final file output within Final Cut Server. To effectively manage the workflow after content creation e.g. playout for broadcast and web delivery. We are going to need to interrogate the metadata catalogue, both live queries and through companion XML to the Compressor automation.
I have looked through the administration and user guides for any reference to the external querying or export of data but it doesn't cover this.
We are able to code custom interfaces and XML processing given an API or even applescript automation, but we need some developer documentation to proceed.
Thanks,
Simon Hargreaves
Broadcast Manager

Simon,
Developers of product or content for Pro applications tend to congregate here:

I think it is a good place for a question like yours. I am sure somebody here on the Final Cut Server forum will come up with an idea sooner or later, but the referenced page may bring results faster.

Support for XML / Web Service Data Source?

Do you know if and when Crystal Reports for Eclipse will support using the XML / Web Service data source? It appears that only JDBC and Java Result Sets are currently supported. I am using:com.businessobjects.integration.eclipse.library_1.0.0.v671 com.businessobjects.sdks.jrc.11.8.0_11.8.1.v671 Thank you! 

Ok, I copied the JARs (such as CRDBXMLServer.jar) from the JRC SDK (from Eclipse all-in-one) onto the Tomcat classpath and got rid of my previous problem. I now get the stack trace below. I also can not find crdb_*.dll files (such as crdb_xml.dll) anywhere on my system other than the service pack 2 rollback directories. My guess is I should be downloading and installing something else -- is this true? 10 Jan 2007 13:22:36 [http-8080-Processor23] DEBUG com.crystaldecisions.reports.reportdefinition.datainterface - Failed to open connection (Connection:<databaseType=XML><serverName=http://dopey/devicedirectory/2006-06-25/DeviceDirectory?WSDL DeviceDirectory DeviceDirectoryPort getDevices><state=closed><databaseDriverName=crdb_xml.dll>). com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine.am: Error loading database connector.

How to Output Nodes from XML web service to a FLV?

Hi
I've used AS3 to query a web service and obtain the resulting XML. I need to parse the result down to just a few nodes for a given location. I can tackle that separately. I am wondering how I output the parsed XML to a flash video file (.flx)? The video has place holders for the XML node values. What do I need to do to place the XML results in the video?
Thanks,
Sid

Andrei1 wrote:
What is a content of XML nodes? I am not sure what you mean by "inserting nodes". Do you mean that you want to display some information over the video?
And yes, encoders do take XMLs to inject metadata into video. But this is metadata only.
OSML = Open Source Media Framework:
http://www.opensourcemediaframework.com/
By inserting nodes, I mean that the XML web service returns data for each city, which needs to be parsed to just high temp, low temp and current condition. Those 3 values needed to be dispalyed over, or woven into, the video at each city location. My thought was that AS3 could somehow recognize the 3 placeholders for each city and insert the high temp, low temp and condition icon into each placeholder. However, when I import the FLV file into Flash, there are no elements into which I can infuse this data.

Designing and Running CR against XML Web Service

I created a simple XML web service with one method that returns a dataset. This runs on my Windows 2003 Server.The service(.asmx) is called "Applicants". My computer name is aricciardi-2k3s. It runs on port 89 .When I browse to <a href="http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx">http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx</a>, I am prompted to invoke the webservice and I can run it and everything is great. Further, if I browse to <a href="http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx?wsdl">http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx?wsdl</a> I get the wsdl info. Now I want to design and run a Crystal Report 11 SR 2 against my web service. I choose New Report, for Data I choose XML, then "Use Web Data Source" hit next, then choose "HTTP WSDL URL" I enter <a href="http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx?wsdl">http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx?wsdl</a>, hit Next, I leave HTTP username and HTTP password blank. Then I see the Services, Ports and Methods screen. Services: Applicants, Ports: ApplicantsSoap, Methods: GetApplicantsWhen I click Finish, I get Logon Failed, Details, Schema file is invalid. error:Element <a href="mailto:Schema@htttp://www.w3.or/2001XMLSchemal">Schema@htttp://www.w3.or/2001XMLSchemal</a> not foundHow can I get this to work? I can return anything necessary from the web service.Please help. You will make me a hero, and I'll will be in debt to you.Thanks.Anthony Ricciardi The web method for my web service is below <WebMethod()> _Public Function GetApplicants() As DataSet Dim DS As New DataSet TryDim dt As New DataTable("Applicants") dt.Columns.Add("AppID")dt.Columns.Add("Name") Dim dr As DataRow dr = dt.NewRow()dr.Item("AppID") = 1000 dr.Item("Name") = "First Applicant"dt.Rows.Add(dr)dr = Nothingdr = dt.NewRow()dr.Item("AppID") = 2000 dr.Item("Name") = "Second Applicant"dt.Rows.Add(dr)dr = Nothing DS.Tables.Add(dt)Return DS Catch ex As ExceptionDim x As String = ex.Message End TryEnd Function

I got some feed back from support that this driver doesn't work with .NET datasets. I would suggest that in your webservice method that you just return an arrary of regular objects that contain the data you need. That should work with this driver I believe. I would try it out but I just messed up my Crystal Reports and I need to re-install it.Here's the URL to a white paper that talks about connecting to this driver. http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/cr_xi_native_xml_driver.pdf Rob Horne <a href="/blog/10">Rob's blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a>

Coldfusion admin api via web services?

Hi There,
I'm looking ti access the coldfusion admin api using web
services, but not from coldfusion so I cant use the normal
createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("admin");
I've tried using SOAP to request the login method at
http://mydomain.com/cfide/adminapi/administrator.cfc?wsdl
but the request fails as coldfusion returns the login dialog (as it
does if you try to access the WSDL from a browser.
Does anyone know if it's possible to login and access the
CFIDE through standard SOAP calls rather than just through
coldfusion and how I might go about it.
Thanks in advance,
Tom

You can't invoke such admin components as a web service. Even
if you could it wouldn't work.
You can only call a method in a component as a webservice if
its access is
remote. However, the methods of the system components
/cfide/adminapi/administrator.cfc, /cfide/adminapi/datasource.cfc,
etc. have either
public or
package access. Verify this by running, for example,
<cfscript>
adminObj =
createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator");
adminObj.login("your_admin_password");
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#adminObj#">

MDM 5.5 SP04 Java API and Web Service Documentation

Is there documentation available that reflects the SP04 changes to the Java API, and the web services that are now available?
As of this morning, service marketplace contained spotty SP04 docs.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Mike,
A cookbook would be wonderful (I think our developers would throw a party)!
An updated object model (as a preface to the user guide) for the legacy API (MDM4J.jar) AND the new "rebranded" API (mdm-*.jar) would also work.
I've been reduced to comparing the SP3 & SP4 javadocs
One fun approach that appears to be working for us, is to model each process using the DataManager, and try to duplicate that exactly via the corresponding API objects (e.g. the simple Connect-Find Table-Search Table-View Result Set-View Record-CheckOut/Upsert/Validate/CheckIn dance). New features in the DataManager reveal themselves a little more readily
Good luck,
...Dee

Best Way to Expose our JAVA API as web service

we have develop an API and now, we want these API available as web services. the API abstracts the developer from database connection and the developer has to only concern himself of the object model. our problem with this API is that if we distribute this to our co-developers, their applications will be connecting directly to our database. but if we have this as a webservice, the connections to the databse will be isolated between the host that's running the webservice and the database.
what's the best way to move these API/objects to webservices? what are our options?
thanks,

You can pretty much put anything you want into a web service. But remember they are designed for network/internet calls so it might make sense to bulk wrap your API calls. Due to the large amount of XML that is required by a web service if your API is large and you will have many webservices you probably want to get a tool that can generate this for you.

Java API or Web Service for PDF generator for PostScript?

Hello Guys,
We acquired the evaluation version of the LiveCycle PDF generator for PostScript software and are in the process of acquiring information regarding the web-service / java api option but we can't seem to find extensive documentation or sample code.
The provided documentation gives some information on the different methods that can be used for web service but nothing extensive on how to use them properly in context. The documentation mentions java code samples on the developer ressource but I can't seem to get my hands on anything useful.
I looked around for quite some time on the developer ressource site but I must say it is not very easy to use. We are buried under a ton of useless information and the search functionality doesn't seem to yield interresting results.
Are we missing something obvious?
Regards
Jeff Michaud

Hi Jeff, I am in the exact same situation... I've been trying to find a document, just an overall user guide for the tool... nothing.
Even on the phone no one was able to answer me where that doc was. Does it exist?
Has anyone found a doc containing the information describing the APIs and on how to use the Web Services? Jeff, did you find something usefull yet?
Thanks!

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

XML Web Service ( ? )

Hello there to everyone reading my post !
I am trying to design an Application that exchanges XML Documents (or messages, I don't know how to call them properly).
My application, recieves an XML, reads it, and replies with another XML.
I am totally new to developing this type of "messaging" systems, that I have come to know recently are called "Web Services".
What are your suggestions on Doing this? I need my interface be made in JSF...
Is there a Tutorial or a How-to for this Topic?
Please Help Me out...
Thanks in advance

Hello There !
Yes, I like this Tutorial a lot, It shows me that it is possible to Obtain a Response From a Server as a Web Service. Thank you very much.
But excuse my ignorance, How Do I apply it to XML messaging? I am just too confused about where does this web service obtains its response? Does it read it from an XML file?
Please let me know where can I read more about this subject,
I was wondering If there was something more simple. From scratch.
Anyways, thank you very much, all help is truly appreciated.

XML Web Service as data source

We are researching the option of using a web service as the data source of a Crystal report. There are a couple of points that I would like your input.
1) How are report parameters passed to the web service?
2) Are there any known performance issues? I created a simple XML file that had 200,000 rows (3 columns) and there was a delay of 2 min for Crystal displaying all of the report. We have reports of this size, I just wanted to get a feeling of Crystal processing and rendering of the XML file.
3) Are there any restrictions on the XML schema definition for Crystal? We are using Crystal 11.5 and 2008.
I appreciate your input and any ideas.
Many Thanks,
