Bi publisher repository via api

Hi,
using BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0, I have 4 reports that are basically the same but each one is getting data from different database,
is it possible to create only one report and then dynamically call it and send database connection through url, also is it possible to send username & password for protected reports through url.

There has been some succes in what I'm trying to accomplish,
when I create Report in BI Publisher only two files are created (can be found on server) .xdo and .rtf. So I've manually downloaded them and I'm able to extract sql query & params from .xdo file run it throught data processor with desired jdbc connection (which is the most important thing for me) to create .xml file, then I run .rtf through rtf processor to get .xsl, and finally I use fo processor to create report from .xml and .xsl and everything works as expected.
Now the only thing that I don't know is how to access the files on server through api, there's nothing in documentation regarding this, I don't want to use web services bpel wsdl or anything similar, I just want to be able to download them from my app.
Ok just to sum up, I need to manage following somehow:
FileInputStream fiS = new FileInputStream("http://ias.test.hr:7787/xmlpserver/~administrator/TEST/Z/Z.rtf");
RTFProcessor rtfP = new RTFProcessor(fiS);
or
InputStream input = new FileInputStream(new File("http://ias.test.hr:7787/xmlpserver/~administrator/TEST/Z/Z.xdo"));
I think this is not possible since I should be passing username & password, so just to make sure, is it anyhow possible to get to bi publisher repository via api or not.
If anyone has any suggestions or advices I would be very thankful,
thanks in advance,
Tomislav.

Locally publish detectoids via API

Hi all,
I'm trying to publish my own detectoids by using Wsus API. I'm trying for several months now, without success.
Even, if I use the MSDN's example (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb902474(v=vs.85).aspx). The Publish() method didn't throw any exception. But if I try to publish an update
that declare this detectoid as a prerequisite, then an exception is throw, saying that the prerequisite has not been published yet.
I have, also, try to publish some detectoids from Manafacturer's Catalog (DELL), whitout success.
Does anyone already succeed with detectoids publication ? If so, please contact me.

Hi Lawrence, thanks for your reply.
* I don't know of anybody who uses detectoids : Dell's Catalog makes an extensive use of detectoids.:
But, you are right, I never seen detectoids anywhere else :-)
* There's a metadata attribute UpdateType that takes one of three values {Software | Driver | Detectoid }. Did that value get specified correctly in the detectoid you published? :
Yes, this property is properly set in the SDP that DELL have made.
* Also I note that SchemaVersion must be set to 1.2 : I have try with 1.1 and 1.2. Because in the article you mentioned it is clearly said that Schema Version must be set to "1.2", but in this MSDN article
Detectoid Example , the given example use schema version "1.1" :-)
Those Catalogs are used to publish drivers/bios/firmwares updates into Wsus via SCUP and SCCM. So it should be possible to do it with Wsus API.
SolarWinds Patch Manager does not use Detectoids?

How to populate Values in Value Set via API or Interface

Dear frds:
i need to know is there any API or interface available to load thousands of values in particular valueset via API or Interface. I know Dataload is the alternative but i don't want to use that as the data is too much so its not feasible.
waiting for your response
Thanks.

There is no API for fnd_flex_values.
You will have to do a direct table insert (or call FND_FLEX_VALUES_PKG which does nothing but a direct table insert).

Run XML Publisher Report via URL (like Oracle Reports)

Hi All,
Is it possible to run xml-publisher report via URL?
In Oracle Reports works this fine:
http://test:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=test_bihome1&report=test1.rdf&userid=test/testv@db&desformat=pdf&destype=cache
We need this for public reports without user login.
Thanks
Thomas

Thomas,
I was waiting to get home before Tim replied... He got the better of me this time :-)
You say you want to let your users run reports using XMLP just by clicking on an URL same way you do with reports and without having to login. If I got the question right and assuming that:
1.Your company is not overly concerned on who runs what reports
2.Who sees what data
3.Your XMLP installation is on your intranet and firewalled from the outside
What you can do is:
On the main page of your XMLP Enterprise installation you should see a folder called "Guest". Any report you create under this folder is run as user "guest" which means you don't have to authenticate yourself as you would normally do.
I have tested this on my home server and this is what I've done:
1.Logged in as admin or any other user you've created with admin privileges created a report under the "Guest" folder.
2.Copied the URL, on my server it is "http://samba.private.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo"
4.Logged off as admin and pasted the URL to a new browser window
5.Hit return and Voila, my report runs without the need to login to XMLP.
Hope this helps. Let us know how you got on.
Cheers,
Joao
PS: If you want to see the report for yourself here's the URL from the outside: http://medeiros.homelinux.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo
I'll keep the link alive for a couple of days.

Error while loading the runtime repository via HTTP

Hi Experts,
I am trying to delete an enhancement and when I enter the component name and the enhancement set in BSP_WD_CMPWB. I get the following error when right click the enhanced view and select delete : Error while loading the runtime repository via HTTP. How do I delete this enhancement?
Regards
Abdullah Ismail.

if for some reason the runtime repository is not coherent, you get an error each time you try to read it (and this is the case when you open a component using the transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB)
this is because the XML file is interpreted by a CALL TRANSFORMATION statement, and any incorrect node will raise an uncaught exception
solution:
enhanced view is contained into BSP application you have created the first time you enhanced the component
go to SE80 and enter the BSP application where your objects are stored (the name you provided the first time)
there you can modify directly the objects, including the runtime repository which is stored under node "Pages with flow Logic"
once the correction is done, you can access again your component through transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB (and delete it properly if this is what you want to do)

Supplying username and password to repository via code

Sorry for my mismatched formulation of this problem
I would open it via code
z.B. application.forms.items("")
because I get the Docnum of my before safed draft but It wouldn´t shown at the SAP now so I have to open it via code gg
but also thx to you

In which table the initial balances will be stored when loading via api

Hi all,
I am doing initial balances migration...
In which table the initial balances will be stored when loading though an api.. (pay_balance_upload.process).
First I have loaded data in to pay_balance_batch_headers and pay_balance_batch_lines tables..
Then called the api pay_balance_upload.process. and the data was reflecting correctly in front end.
But we need to reconcile the loaded data.. for that, can anyone please tell me in which the loaded balances would be stored..
I have identified two tables, pay_assignment_latest_balances
and pay_latest_balances
when I try to create a balance from frontend I can see the data in pay_latest_balances table..
But when I load via api I am not able to find it in any of these tables..
In addition to that can anyone please tell me when the data will be populated in pay_assignment_latest_balances and pay_latest_balances tables.
Awaiting for your help and quick response..
Thanks and Regards
Kishore

You have followed the correct process..As Vignesh said, you can use pay_balance_pkg.get_value to make sure you have the correct values uploaded but otherwise if you are able to see the values in the front end I wouldn't worry about the latest balances tables. These tables, as the name indicate, hold only the latest values and if a payroll (ran post the initial balance upload) has been rolled back, these are deleted since they are no longer available.
You can refer the below Metalink notes for a detailed explanation:

Re-using Segments Created via API or Re-creating Every Time?

Hi All,
Wanted to get your thoughts on this...
We have been able to create Segments via the API, however, which way to go:
OPTION 1: Re-use Segment if there are no additions or deletions (changes) to the list? or
OPTION 2: Re-create the Segment every time via API.
In Option 1, we will still need to compare the existing list to the new list before deciding to re-use. However, the comparison will be done outside of Eloqua.
In Option 2, we may create a new list even though there are no changes but we will have the historical data and it will be easier to identify lists.
In both scenarios, data processing may affect performance.
For those who have done this or are familiar, what would you recommend?
Hope it's clear.
Pinging: TJ Fields-Oracle, 1065474, freejung
Thanks!!

In simpler terms of creating assets and storage, creating new segments each time should not be a problem. That said, the asset choosers might end up being slow if you're blowing past 100k which will ultimately result in a poor user experience for the marketers. Please see:
Eloqua Product Thresholds
Beyond that, you should also consider:
- Developers creating a process where segments and campaigns are being created automatically, and the campaigns being left active for a long time with segments are set to run every hour. For static lists, it wouldn't really result in heavy calculating but you can run into delayed contact entry into campaigns if you have hundreds of segments feeding hundreds of campaigns - each with heavy filtering. At best it would be pointless to run segments (on the canvas) hourly if the lists are static, and at worst you're making everything slower. That doesn't sound like a major concern here but something to keep in mind.
- API tools automatically updating segments which are currently referenced in live campaigns (again, running hourly segments). This means if you re-use assets for new campaigns there is a risk that they're being referenced by a currently live campaign and you end up adding the wrong contacts to the wrong flow. Since segments share a relationship to campaigns as their primary contact feeder, the API tools should only be updating the same segment asset with new contacts if the intent is to add those contacts to an existing campaign.
- Although keeping shared lists or segments untouched gives you some historical tracking, do not assume the contacts in those assets are exactly the same ones which were used when the campaign was launched. For example, if you delete the bouncebacks and unsubscribes after the campaign has run and go back to your segment, even if it is a simple segment with a local list, it will not contain the deleted contacts. For any serious auditing task, let the API tool archive what contacts were added to what segment. Then you can use Bulk 2.0 activity exports to keep a list of what contacts received what emails from various campaigns.

KM transports via API

Hello All,
I have a requirement to transport KM content (such as folders, files and their properties) from one portal to another. AFAIK, the two supported methodologies that do just that, i.e. ICE and WebDav, only transport the current version, but not the version history. One of the requirements of this project is to create an exact copy of the content and that includes version history as well as properties such lastModifiedBy. I therefore tried to use the repository framework API as described in <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5d0ab890-0201-0010-849d-98d70bd1d5f0">this</a> document.
Also, in order to be able to set live properties, such as lastModifiedBy and lastModifiedDate, I ticked the set_systemproperties flag of the system role in question as described in <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=86224">this</a> thread.
All this works in principle, but I came across the following two problems and would be very grateful for any help:
1) When I create version 1 of a resource in the target portal, I can successfully set live properties such as lastModifiedBy. However, in the portal when I look at the version details of the created resource, only the current version has the lastModifiedBy property as set by me and revision 1 (which should be identical to the current version as Ive only created one version so far) has as lastModifiedBy the name of the user who executed the code. Why is that and is there a way to set lastModifiedBy on revision number 1 as well? This is the code Im using:
RID rid = RID.getRID("/documents/foobar");
ICollection parent = (ICollection)ResourceFactory
    .getInstance()
    .getResource(rid, resourceContext);
IContent newContent = ...;
MutablePropertyMap properties = new MutablePropertyMap();
properties.put(Property.createLastModifiedByProp("bondj"));
IResource newResource = parent.createResource("test.txt", properties, newContent);
2) The second problem I come across is when I try to update a resource and create version 2 of it. This time, I get a com.sapportals.wcm.repository.PropertyReadOnlyException when I try to set the lastModifiedBy property. This is a bit surprising as Ive set the set_systemproperties flag of the user in question and I dont get the PropertyReadOnlyException when I create the resource as described under 1) even though I set the lastModifiedBy property there as well. This is he code Im using:
RID rid = RID.getRID("/documents/foobar/test.txt");
IResource resource = ResourceFactory
    .getInstance()
    .getResource(rid, resourceContext);
IContent newContent = ...;
MutablePropertyMap properties = new MutablePropertyMap();
properties.put(Property.createLastModifiedByProp("bondj"));
resource.checkOut();
resource.checkIn(newContent, properties);
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi,
will be something like this:
IResourceContext context = new ResourceContext((com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser) request.getUser().getUser());
ICollection col = (ICollection) ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(RID.getRID("public/documents"),context);
col.createCollection("newSubfolder",null);
However, you'll need to reference some km services to get it working.
Regards,
Armin
Not to forget, you'll find numerous examples on this in the KM section of SDN.

How to Get a Resource Id via API

Hi,
Is there any way to get the short id associated with a resource via API??
I need to get an Id from a resource that it's unique for every one, so I can show an identifier for every document in a custom report...
Thank you,

I'd like to know via API how to get this Id, or any other Code that it's unique for every resource or document in portal.
Thank you!

Process AR Receipts via API

Dear Friends,
I have below few querys related to AR Receipts process via API.
1)     Can we change the receipt status (APPROVED  CONFIRMED REMITTED  REVERSED/ CLEARED) through any API? Any one can explain how it is happening in real world?
2)     Can we change the receipts accounting through any API. I want to mean here, the receipts GL accounts are defaulted from Receipt Method & MISC receipt activity (in case of MISC receipt). Can we change those defaulted accounts through any API?
3)     In case of MISC receipt can we populate the “Paid By” field thought the MISC receipt creation API?
Thanks & Regards

Hi Muktech,
Currently there is no API for BPM 11g. There is an API for the human task but this will not be sufficient for completing a process activity.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Nils

Accessing the password store (PSTORE) via API

After having created portal users via API srcipt, we now would like to register users
for an external application programmatically.
I.e. we have a portal user and we know his account info ( user / passwd ) for the external application. Portal seems to store account infos for external applications in a "Password Store". So i am looking for an API to register portal users for external applications providing the known acount info,
i.e. sth. like
PSTORE.InsertExtAccount( PortalUser, ApplicationName, ExtUser, Extpasswd).
I had a look at http://www-sso.us.oracle.com/
but could not find API description or any hints when an API like that will go production.
Can anyone help me with that issue ?
Thanks a lot.

This is probably the wrong forum for this question - I would try the 9iAS Portal forum.

Creating worksets via API

Hi all!
Is it possible to create and change worksets dynamically via API? I have found documentation how to read pcd objects and their properties but not how to edit pcd objects:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6112ecb7-0a01-0010-ef90-941c70c9e401
best regards
Michael

Hi Michael,
(1) To change workset attributes, get the IPcdContext object for the workset, then do something like this:
ModificationItem[] mods = new ModificationItem[1];
mods[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE,new BasicAttribute("com.sap.portal.navigation.MergePriority", new Double("75")));
myPcdContext.modifyAttributes("",mods);
(2) To create, you could simply bind a new context to the folder you want to place the workset, and set all the attributes (most important, object class and name). This is a little tricky, and there may be side effects I haven;t thought of.
For iView, you would use the IiViews semantic object to create the iView, and this object would take care of almost everything for you. But there is no workset object.
Hope this helps.
