Connecting and sending data to web service

Hi,
I have to implement the functionality in PDF document to connect with the web service and send the form data in xml format on Click event of a button inside the form.
During the initial development and testing I have found that document can only connect with the Web Service from within LiveCycle Designer or Adobe Pro. It doesn't work with the Reader.
After surfing the internet I have come to know that Reader extensions are required along with Adobe Reader to communicate with the web services. Am I right?
Furthermore, what I have to do is to distribute the PDF form to a number of people who will fill the form and submit the form data by clicking the Submit button (which will internally communicate with the web service to send data) on the form. So if extensions are required to communicate with web services from Reader, then what I am assuming is that all those people must have extensions installed on their machines along with Reader.
On some forum I have also read that you only need to install the Extensions on the Designer machine and they are not compulsory to be on every client machine. i.e. Exntesions enable the web services communication features in the PDF form during design time. Is it true?
Thanks in anticipation,
Qarshi

Be careful, your question should be posted in "LiveCycle Reader Extensions" forum. LiveCycle Data Services doesn't deal with these features.
Nevertheless, to use webService calls from a PDF opened in the free Adobe Reader, you need to Reader extend your form.
You can use Acrobat Pro to extend it if the PDF will not be used by more than 500 people.
If you plan to reach more than 500 people, then you must consider LiveCycle Reader Extensions. This limitation is explained in the Acrobat EULA.
The final users only need the Adobe Reader, they won't have to install any extension or plug-in.

Need help in design the scenario sending data to web service

Hello All,
I need to send data to web service and get the response back.
i want to use HTTP to soap Scenario.Please let me know the necessary steps in the scenario.
Thanks and Regards,
Chinna

Hi Chinna,
> i want to use HTTP to soap Scenario.Please let me know the necessary steps in the scenario.
Split this into 2 scenarios
1. HTTP to SOAP (Request) treated as Asynchronous.
2. SOAP to HTTP (Responce) treated as Asynchronous.
For HTTP to SOAP synchronous scenario
Here the receiver side request and responce structures no need to create, the receiver client will provide you the XSD file, on that XSD file having the request and responce message structures, so you have to import that to XI server as External definition.
For sender HTTP you have to create 2 data types, 2 message types as well as 2 message interfaces, 2 message mappings for request and responce messages and 2 service/Message interfaces (HTTP is outbound and SOAP is inbound).
Configuration objects are same.

Want to find out how much data a Web Service is sending to client (JWSDP)

Well, the subject line didn't fit what I was intended to say, so if you don't get what I am saying in the subject line, I am sorry.
My question is... I have a Web Service client that uses stub classes generated by wscompile in JWSDP. I am wondering, it there a way to find out how much data the Web Service is sending back to my client.
The reason I asked is this, I used WebLogic 7.0 workshop to create a Web Service and also used JWSDP to create the same Web Service which deploys to Tomcat. The generated WSDL files from WebLogic workshop and JWSDP that expose the same functionalities have differences. The WSDL from WebLogic workshop is 1.5 times the size of the WSDL from JWSDP. When I tested both with client programs, calling the Web Service in Tomcat (which uses JWSDP to built) is much quicker than calling the Web Service in WebLogic.
For this reason, I would liked find out if the Web Service from WebLogic is sending more data than the one created with JWSDP.
Thanks.

I've used the TcpTunnelGui utility to see the HTTP flowing up and down the wire, that might help you.

How to send request to web service using .pem certificate.

Dear All,
I have a .pem, WSDL file and (Request and Response format), this files are provided by the customer, now I have generated the ServiceClass using WSDL file using wsdl.exe.
Now when I send the request I am getting error as "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error
occurred on a send" when I told my customer to remove the certificate validation from their web service the "Request
and Response both are working fine".
When I opened the .pem file in notepad the content was
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
dfkhdfhsdfghgfjhAklajdaJHZKkjjHAKJhjkhkjhkjhkjhkjJKJHKJ......................................
/R-----END CERTIFICATE-----
and nothing else was there as per my client my code is proper for sending request to web service but the using of file i.e .pem file is not proper.
I want to know what else I have to do my customer have given me only .pem file with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- nothing else in the file.
Can anybody please help me in this, below is my code snapshot.
try
var pem = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(Application.StartupPath + "\\server_selfsigned.pem");
byte[] certBuffer = GetBytesFromPEM(pem, "CERTIFICATE");
SMSService sms = new SMSService(txtURL.Text.Trim());
sms.ClientCertificates.Add(new System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2
(certBuffer));
SMSRequest smsReq = new SMSRequest();
smsReq.UID = "2000";
smsReq.SMSDetails = new SMSRequestSMSDetails { MessageText = txtMessage.Text.Trim(), MobileNumber = txtMobile.Text.Trim() };
SMSReponse smsRes = sms.sendSMSOperation(smsReq);
MessageBox.Show(smsRes.Code + " = " + smsRes.Message + " = " + smsRes.Status);
catch (Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Manoj Gupta.

Hi,
This issue might be due to the invalid .pem certificate file.
Make sure to include the beginning and end tags on each certificate.
The result should look like this:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Primary SSL certificate: your_domain_name.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
(Your Intermediate certificate: DigiCertCA.crt)
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

What do I do to close eform on screen and display response of web service in another screen.?

Hi,
I am trying to build following functionality.
I want to submit form to a web service through SOAP request on click of a button.
I want to display response of web service like “form has been submitted successfully” on screen.
What has been achieved.
I am able to submit form to an adobe web service passing base64 string to adobe process.(see the script in image#1).
When I receive base64 string in adobe process, I am able to re-generate document (using getDocFromBase64(/process_data/@inputStr) ).
After that I am returning a message string to as response “Form submitted successfully”.
When I get the response I populate response to a text field variable (Out Str). See image#2
Problem/Desirable functionality.
I want to close this eform and display the message “form has been submitted successfully” on another page in browser so that it depicts to end user that form has been submitted successfully with confirmation.
What do I do to close eform on screen and display response of web service in another screen.?
Image#1
Image#2

Method1: This method only works in same PDF window.
On the click of the submit button, based on the webservice result we can close the PDF. As you already having in the "Out Str", this variable having detailed message kind of thing, so it would be easier if you have one more output variable to know if this submission is success or failure or can use the "Out Str", it self to compare and close the PDF.
Here i am using "strResult" to hold webservice success or failure using true/ false values.
Get the "strResult" value from binded field of webservice response and compare and close or display messages based on requirement.
var strResult = YourFieldname.rawValue;
                    if(strResult != "" && strResult != null){
                              if(strResult.toUpperCase() == "TRUE"){
                                        xfa.host.messageBox("Successfully Saved the Data.", "Submit Confirmation", 3,0);
                                        //Close the PDF
                                        app.execMenuItem("Close");
                    else{
                              xfa.host.messageBox("Failed to Save the Data.", "Submit Confirmation", 3,0);
If the result need to show in separate window and having LiveCycle process connected to PDF via. webservice or REST:
Method2. If the PDF inside the browser
Type1 - You can set the process output is document variable, this PDF may contain your static/dynamic message and this PDF. But with this method result PDF opens in same window, host pdf will be disappeared.
Type2 - You can set the process output is string variable, this STRING may contain your static/dynamic message. In this method the string will be appered in the same PDF window, host pdf will be disappeared.
Method3. If the PDF is stand alone (not opend in any browser)
Type1 - You can set the process output is document variable, this PDF may contain your static/dynamic message and this PDF. But with this method result PDF opens in new window, host pdf will be also stayed and may make readonly after submission success.
Type2 - If the process output is string, it cannot handle this situation, may get the content type exception while receiving the result string, because.
Used all of the above methods in various situations and it worked without any issues.

Phone is connecting and transfering data in the ba...

Today at work my Nokia 6710 did start to transfer data in the background without my interaction. I was typing a sms while the symbol for data transfer below the 3G lit up. Did a quick check in the menu->settings->connectivity->Conn.mgr. Yes, one active connection was sending and receiving data, small amounts 3-4kb, then idle.
I ended the connection in the Conn.mgr. Closed all the apps in the phone and waited a minute. Then it started one new connection in the background again! Same procedure, checked and closed it...! This did not stop, every time the phone started a new connection after a minute?
I did try to find what could cause this, but no success. What is going on, any ideas for what to check?
I finally deleted my 3G access point in menu->settings->settings->connection->destinations->internet
This did stopp the phone from connecting and transfering data.
Back home I connected to my WiFi at home, used the browser and closed the connection. Guess what, the phone did now connect via the WiFi in the background doing exactly the same type of small data transfer - without asking!?
What is this? I downloaded the latest F-Secure mobile version to check for virus, but nothing, it was clean.
I did shut down the phone, will not use it until I can stop these unwanted connections and transfers. Please help.

Finally I found the reason for these data transfers. The upgrade of the mentioned files did have something to do with all of this, but the removal of the files did not help.
So, I did go through all the settings in again for Connections and the setting for Share Video were set On...? Turning this setting Off did stop the background data transfers.
Problem solved perhaps. But I still wonder why the Share Video setting did start sending data while the phone was not in use? A bug? A virus? A hacker trying to activate the webcam?

Any existing BAPI that can be wrapped and exposed as a web service ???

Hi ,
I am designing PI Collaboration Platform and that all about Monitoring across SAP ECC, SAP PI and Non-SAP applications.
BUSINESS CASE: Some clients are looking for a solution that allows there management some visibility into the end-to-end aspect of processes, we will limit our discussion to SAP ECC and PI.
SOLUTION: BAM ultimately helps solve this problem at an enterprise level - however that is a heavy investment for most organizations - is there an alternative that we can provide ? Example a generic web service that can be invoked from a 3rd party tool to provide reports.
We do have solution :
We can configure Proxy adapter and can write Java web service to invoke a method to extract the data from ECC and one or more report generating methods based on the standard ( like PDF,EXCEL etc)
but we are still looking for an existing BAPI that can be wrapped and exposed as a web service ????
Need solution for the above ?

Hi Sanjay,
Yes BAM has a bigger take, if you are looking for PI monitoring reports then please have a look at the following blogs which might
give you some insight.this basically deal with reading data from SXMB_MONI tables.

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/PIMonitoringFunctionality-FetchingDatafromSXMB_MONIStandardTables-PartI
i dont think there is any BAPI as such atleast wrt to PI.

How get data from Web Service with token?

Can I get data from Web Service made with Java?
This WS has a Token.
Any ideas o reference?

We've now added this ability to Web.Contents. You can say something like
Web.Contents("http://my.web.service/1", [Headers=[#"The-Token"="0a0138ef2d"]])
and it will pass a header with the key "The-Token" and the value "0a0138ef2d" as part of the HTTP request. For security reasons, this will only work for anonymous web requests.

Cannot Lock and Send data to an Essbase cube

Hi all,
One of our customer is executing a Macro script to lock and send data to the essbase cube from an excel sheet.
They reported that in several cases where users will submit their data, and later discover that their changes are not in Essbase.
The calls to EssVRetrieve (to lock the blocks) and EssVSendData are both returning successfully and there is no error message received while executing the above macros.
I reviewed the application log file and found the following message:
[Mon Nov 24 18:59:43 2008]Local/Applicn///Warning(1080014)
Transaction [ 0xd801e0( 0x492b4bb0.0x45560 ) ] aborted due to status [1014031].
I analysed the above message and found the user is trying to lock the database when already a lock has been applied to it and some operation is being performed on it. Because of that the transaction has been aborted. But customer says no concurrent operation is being performed at that time.
Can anyone help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Raja

The error message for error 1014031 is 'Essbase could not get a lock in the specified time.' The first thought I have is that perhaps some user/s have the 'Update Mode' option set in their Essbase Options and thus, when they are retrieving data, they are inadvertantly locking the data blocks. If that is the case, you will probably see this issue sporadically as the locks are automatically released when the user disconnects from Essbase.
To make it stop, you will have to go to every user's desktop and make sure they have that Essbase Option turned off. Further, you will have to look at any worksheets they may use that may have an Essbase Option name stored on it. The range name is stored as a string and includes a setting for update mode. Here is a sample that I created for this post where I first turned 'on' update mode and then turned 'off' update mode:
A1100000001121000000001100120_01-0000
A1100000000121000000001100120_01-0000
Note the 11th character in the first string is '1' which indicates that Update Mode is 'on'; in the second string, it is 'off'.
This behavior, particularly with update mode, is the only one of the behaviors that I disliked in Excel and pushed me to design our Dodeca product. In Dodeca, the administrator controls all Essbase options and can either set individual options to the value they want or they can allow the user to choose their own options. Most of our customers do not allow the user to set update mode.

Is it possible to create a virtual TCP port and send data to it?

Is it possible to create a virtual TCP port and send data to it?
My application is this: I am reading a constant stream of waveform data from a device via a LabVIEW VI set and I need to get that streaming data to a .NET application. I can poll a TCP port in .NET easily so is there a way I can create a virtual TCP port in LabVIEW and send the data there?

Have a look at the example called simple data server and simple data client and see what you can get from that. I'm not really familiar with TCP myself.
