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

Infopath 2013/REST Web Service - XML Data format

I've created an Infopath 2013 form and connected it to an existing REST Web Service. The form connects successfully, but I can't get to the nodes that contain the actual data. The REST results look like this:
<wddxPacket version='1.0'>
<header/>
<data>
<struct>
<var name='MIDDLENAME'><string>S</string></var>
<var name='FIRSTNAME'><string>John</string></var>
<var name='UID'><string>jdoe</string></var>
<var name='EMAIL'><string>[email protected]</string></var>
<var name='DEPARTMENT'><string>IT ADMINISTRATION</string></var>
<var name='TITLE'><string>Director</string></var>
<var name='LASTNAME'><string>Doe</string></var>
</struct>
</data>
</wddxPacket>
When I connect to the web service in InfoPath, here is what I see:
Notice that when we expand the tree, it only shows the "struct" node. How do I get down to the actual data fields?
Thanks in advance.

Hi cflbasser ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to query data using rest web service in InfoPath 2013.
For achieving your demand, please refer to the blog:

How to call Jive Search methods using REST Web Services from ADF

Hi
Can someone provide me an example to call JIVE Search using REST web services from Webcenter ADF.
As we have the similar facility to call UCM Search from WebServices DataControl.
Do we have anything similar like this for JIVE Search?
JIVE 5.1 is deprecating SOAP style web services and so I am planning to use REST.
Any suggestions on this is much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Khad

so what exactly is the problem here?
what is not working?

Report Repointing using RESTful Web Services

With respect to this link: Changing Dataproviders for a Webi Report using RESTful Web Services
Cosider the following scenario:
You have an automation code using which, you accepts 20 report id and their respective Current universe id and New universe id.
If suppose, you have user input prompts in 10 reports and you don't know those 10 reports, how will you provide values to those prompts at a single execution of the code?
OR
Is there any function using which you can provide associated random value to those prompts?

Hi Raghunath,
Looking at your macro, most of the functionality would be available with REST SDK. With BI 4.x REST is now only SDK which provides APIs to work with webi report. With .NET or Java SDK we could not eeven schedule a webi doc with prompts.
With BI 4.1 REST APIs include.
refresh report, schedule report, save report, export which is done by your macro.
For detailed tasks, such as saving and modifying the report for specific users and send to schedule, you would need to play around with REST Urls to understand the workflow.
For starters take a look at the devleopers guide for REST here:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sbo41/en/sbo41_webi_restful_ws_en.pdf
Here is the doc which compares the availability of SDK APIs with different BI versions.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-53285
For any Enterprise level tasks, you could always use .NET or Java enterprise SDk and comibe it with your REST app.

How can i use the web services

i have a web service ,but what is need that can i use the web services?
is only then oc4j,or anything?

You need to write a client that will access the Web service and invoke it.
You can write the client in Java for example - and JDeveloper provides wizards for this.
There is a sample in the JDeveloper Reviewer guide here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/reviewer/reviewerguide.html

I can't use "Import Web Service".

Hi, I can't use "Import Web Service" in LabVIEW Web UI builder.
I write IP:8080 and click on Connect.
And it says "No Web ervices found on the server".
Please help.

I think I'm one step from finished application.
So ... I've tried this building web service from tutorial and when I'm on the step when I have to deploy a Web Service to the Web Server I have a problem.
I rightclick on My Web Service under "build specifications" and click to deploy and I get this message in attachment.
My question is how can I start the web server ?
Thanks in advance and I hope that after solving this I won't bother any of you anymore.

Using Web Service a Data Source for my Report

Hi All,
I'm trying to use a Web service as a PDS for my Oracle9ias reports.
I have a few questions on this.
1) Can the webservice Return a Complex data type e.g java.util.Vector? If Yes, How does the report extract data frm the Vecor?
2) If the first option isn't feasible, Can I go for a array of objects as return values provided those objects are serializable?Again how would the report extract data from array of objects?
3) OR is it advisable to go for Document style web service that returns me an XML document?
Regards,
Ritesh

hi,
what do do you mean by that???
i hope i helped....

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/

Using Web Service as Data source (Pluggable Data Source) in Oracle Reports

Anyone using Webservice as a pluggable data source in oracle 10g reports.(Report builder version:10.1.2.0.2)? We need to be able to use web service as one of the data source to create reports.Tried the following and ran into issues:
Imported the wspds.jar fle from oracle plugin exchage. When tried using it received the following error in oracle reports trace file.
04/26 22:27:22 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDBuilder.build([Loracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLDocument;Ljava/net/URL;)Ljava/lang/Object;
By troubleshooting issue found out that xmlparserv2.jar in 10g is newer than xmlparserv2.jar in 9i. wspds.jar is using xmlparserv2.jar in 9i as it was developed and tested for 9i only. Believe there is no newer wspds.jar file developed specifically for 10g?
Is there a better/standard solution to use webservice as data source in oracle 10g reports? Does later version of oracle reports supports webservice as a data source without any additional plugins? Any suggestion would be helpful.

Please provide support for the above request.
It appears that Oracle 10g reports doesn't support Web Service as pluggable data source. Is this option is available in Oracle 11g Reports or Oracle Discoverer Or OBIEE?

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,

Building Portlets Declaratively tutorial (web service as data source)

[I mistakenly posted this on the Portal Applications forum earlier.]
I'm going through the Building Portlets Declaratively tutorial. In the Creating a Portlet Using a Web Service as a Data Source section, I enter the WSDL URL and click the Show Parameters button, and no parameters are returned, as expected. I then click the Next button to go to the Filter page. The Column dropdown list contains only the <none> and ERROR items. I returned to the previous page and clicked the Test button. This is the result:
<ns1:getEmpXMLResponse xmlns:ns1="oracle.ws.scott.OTNDeptEmp" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/literalxml" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<return>
<ERROR>
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNUM=168821760)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))
</ERROR>
</return>
</ns1:getEmpXMLResponse>
I get the same response when I use this page to test getEmpXML: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/webservices/hostedservices_index.html
Is there a different service that I should now be calling (i.e., is OTNDeptEmp.getEmpXML no longer available?)?
Thanks.

Does BI Publisher 11g Support Restful Web Services as Data Set

Hi,
Could you tell me if BI Publisher 11g supports the REST API or is SOAP based API required for web services defined as data sets.
Thanks in advance,

There are External API's which only do JSON outputs. Can this be integrated into a Report? If not, Is there a Enhacement to Add RESTful returning JSON or XML for a Dataset?

Report that uses web services as data source, prompts for database logon

I have a crystal report that uses web services as a data source. When I deploy the report to Infoview it prompts me for a database username and password. Since I am not using a database it should not prompt me for these. I tried various options in the CMC->database settings for this report but it still prompts me for the database logon info or tells me that the database logon information is incorrect.
The report work fine in the Crystal Reports Designer.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this report from prompting me for the database logon info ?
Thanks,

What options have you tried in the CMC?
Have you tried running the report in Crystal Reports installed directly on the Enterprise machine?

How to use web service as data source for forge or endeca ?

hi,
is there any way to use webservice as data source in pipeline ?
i have requirment to get data from web service and dump it in endeca. for this i need some idea on how can be this achieved. is it possible to do so?

Crawling is part of the CAS, which is kind of the data ingest process in Endeca as you would know. There are a bunch of OOTB Crawlers available like FileSystem based, XML Crawlers, etc., and there could be a case where you have to write your own and thats what I am suggesting because the XML crawl thats OOTB expects a specific format which isnt really mentioned in the Documentation. Please refer to CASDevGuide for more information. CAS, PlatformServices and ToolsAndFrameworks should be running when you start off with Endeca, you can see that from
ps -ef | grep java
on your machine
