Connecting to Shared Services via java API

Hello All -
I am new to using Shared Services and I would like to know how to connect to Shared Services using a java API. We are using release 11.1.1.2 and I have found and read the documentation on how to maintain users and groups. The examples in the documentation demonstrates how to the task but assumes you have already connected to shared services or you know how to connect. Any help will be appreciated.
Keep in mind this is not an Essbase connectivity question but shared services.
Thanks

Sorry double post

Hello,
Can anybody tell me where i can find the latest JAVAAPI reference guide? I found the one for MDM 5.5 SP 1 but that also refers to the last parameter of the CatalogCache.Init as int and not string.
I looked up in service.sap.com/instguides -> SAP Netweaver -> Release 4 -> Installation and there only following 3 files are there for MDM 5.5 SP2

SmartView 11.1.2 Can't Connect to Shared Services

I have posted this thread on the essbase forum, also...
I have installed 11.1.2 on Windows 2008 (64bit) in stand-alone mode. I also have Excel 2007 installed on the same machine. I took all of the default ports when setting up the server instance. I installed SmartView(32bit) on the same machine with no errors. When I try to connect to "Shared Connctions" through the SmartView home window, I keep receiveing an error message: "Connection to Shared Services failed Error Message: 'Cannot connect to provider. The server name could not be resolved.' I have tried replacing the server name with it's physical IP address,; I have tried all of the typical ports; but cannot seem to resolve the problem. My URL reads as follows: "http://testsys:13080/workspace/SmartViewProviders' I have a 11.1.1.3 instance on another server works fine, but the URL is a bit different (http://server:13080/aps/SmartView). I have tested and confirmed that all of the shared services are up and running and can be accessed from either EAS console or a web browser. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you installed and APS (Analytic Provider Server) on your system..??
As I know, to connecting to Essbase using Smartview, we need to install the APS on our system.

Connection to shared services provider failed

I am using:
Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.2
smart view 11.1.2.2.310
Microsoft Office 2010
Windows 8
When trying to connect from Excel with SmartView, i have the error, "Connection to shared services provider failed. The provider running at... is not a valid Shared Server provider."
I had test to connect in other PC and it works fine. Besides, i tried to connect to 2 servers (Development ande Production) and the same error is shown.
I had uninstall and install SmartView and nothing changed. I tried Smart View11125000 and the same error is shown.
Somebody know about this issue? or can help me??
Regards!!
Natalia

What happens if you use a browser and type the shared connection url in it?
Did you try connecting using a private connection?

Did you assign your Hyperion Provider Services URL?
I am guessing that 11.1.2 hasn't changed that much from 11.1.1.3.
In 11.1.1.3, it's under Options and is in the lower right hand side of the Options form.
When you have that set, and then click the Connect button in the Data Source Manager, and then Connect to Provider Services, what happens?
You should see: Oracle BI Server, Oracle Essbase, and Oracle Planning. Do you get that far?

Web Services SDK (Java API)

Hi,
By using Web Services SDK (Java API) can I extract the Table,Join information related to a Universe?
If so, then can you please give me some guidelines?
Thanks
Nirabhra

Hi Nirabhra,
I don't think this is possible with the Web Services SDK.
This can only be done through the Universe Designer SDK (which is only available in COM).
Please kindly refer to the API reference for the Universe Designer SDK for more details:

Need to transfer files using sftp via java api's.

Hi,
I got a requirement to transfer files using sftp via java api's.
Kindly specify any 3rd party Java Libraray to do this.
The requirements are
-It must support extensive encryption algorithms.
-It must allow generating public/private keys and authenticating with server by sending the keys first(before the actual file transmission).
Thanks.

Don't resurrect old threads, please. Start your own thread.
Better yet: google for "Java SFTP", look at what you find and come back when you have a specific question.
And: when you ask a specific question, then clarify if you're talking about the [SSH file transfer protocol|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol] or about FTPS, which is sometimes (wrongly) called SFTP.

Fetching Images Via JAVA API

Hi,
I am trying to fetch images via Java Api.
Please look at the code below:
A2iValueArray imgs1 = null;
for(int y=0; y<rs1.GetRecordCount(); y++){
     imgs1 = rs1.GetValueAt(y,"Product_Image").GetValueArray();
It is throwing me a Class cast exception.
I also tried
imgs1 = (A2iValueArray) rs1.GetValueAt(y,"Product_Image").GetValueArray();
but to no avail...
I am using MDM Sp04..
Please guide me...

This Code Worked for me:
          try {
          A2iResultSet rs1 = catalogData.GetResultSet(search, rsd, null, true, 0);
           A2iValueArray imgs1 = new A2iValueArray();
               for(int y=0; y<rs1.GetRecordCount(); y++){
                    if(!rs1.GetValueAt(y, "Images").IsNull()){
                    imgs1 = rs1.GetValueAt(y,"Images").GetValueArray();
                    int id = imgs1.GetValueAt(0).GetIntValue();
                    //int id = rs1.GetValueAt(0, "Product_Color").GetIntValue();
                    String imagePath = catalogCache.GetImagePath("Products", id);//"Thumbnail" ,
                    //wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning("Your image is at: " + CACHE_DIRECTORY + "\" + imagePath);
                    System.out.println("imagePath="+imagePath);
                    break;
               catalogData.Logout();
          } catch (StringException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();

Problems adding WFS layer via Java API

Hi
I am trying to add a WFS layer to my map via the java api. There is little documentation on this and I am struggling a bit, I wonder if anyone has done the same? The call I am developing looks like:
mapViewer.addWFSTheme("devprop",
"WFS",
"http://cjones:8080/geoserver/wfs?",
"EPSG:27700",
"ST_Building",
"the_geom",
"building",
"ID",
attributeList,
renderStyleAttributes,
featIds
but the mapviewer log states:
Jun 30, 2011 4:03:47 PM oracle.sdovis.util.WfsCapabilities readUsingHttpGet

If the getcapabilities result is:
<WFS_Capabilities version="1.0.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs http://cjones:8080/geoserver/schemas/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-capabilities.xsd">

</WFS_Capabilities>
then it's empty and there are no features to be served up.
Test the WFS service in mapbuilder first.

Can no longer connect to shared folder via Samba (10.5.8)

I used to be able to connect to shared folders on my leopard (10.5.8) PPC machine via Samba.
Now, when I choose "Go to Folder..." from another machine and enter the correct URL (smb://192.168.0.XXX), I get a list of all the volumes and users, including public folders of some users, but the share point (shared folder) I defined does not appear.
I tried moving that folder around (it was in /Users/Shared/, then I put it at root / ), removing and re-adding, turning file sharing and samba off and on multiple times, and restarting the computer.
Nada.
Any ideas?

It seems I resolved this by changing the name of the folder I wanted to share, and adding that. No idea why it didn't like the previous name, but that seems to have worked around whatever the issue may have been.

Access to Attribute Type via Java API

Hi,
I'm writing an aplication in Java to access out OLAP schema and display certain DIMENSION/LEVEL and ATTRIBUTE values. This is working out really well but I'm hitting one issue at the moment which has me stumped.
When I display a Dimension value in a table I want to default the attribute we display to a sensible display value. In AWM there is a field "Attribute Type" which offers drop down selections for "User", .... "Member Short Description", "Member Long Description"...
See the General Tab under Attributes for a particular Attribute. Looking at the Help text for the "Member Long Description" I see the following.
"Long descriptive names typically used by Oracle Business Intelligence tools for displaying dimension members in selection lists, crosstabs, and graphs." Looks perfect for what I want. My Dataware house architect already has an Attribute for each hirearchy
marked with this property so in theory I should be able to look for the Attribute in the Dimension with this property and bingo I have my default display Atttribute!
The problem is I seem to be able to find api's to access every aspect of the MdmAttribute object except this particular property.
Here is a snippet from the OLAP api sample code augmented with some println's of my own:
if (mdmAttr.getName().equals(name)) {
     System.out.println("Attribute : " + mdmAttr.getID());
     System.out.println(" name : " + mdmAttr.getName());
     System.out.println(" desc : " + mdmAttr.getDescription());
     System.out.println(" s desc: " + mdmAttr.getShortDescription());
     System.out.println(" type : " + mdmAttr.getType());
     System.out.println(" type id: " + mdmAttr.getType().getID());
return mdmAttr;
None of the avaiable APIs of MdmAttribute seem to fit the bill.
The question is ... is there an API somewhere I can call on the MdmAttribute object or an associated object that will give me back the "Attribute Type" as listed in this dropdown. Note that getType returns DataType!String which denotes the fundemental type of the Attribute (int, String etc) rather than this abstract Attribute Type property we need. Not listed here is the getDataType() api which also returns DataType!String and seems to be equivalent to the getType api.
Regards
Fergal

One small clarification if its not already obvious. We are using the OLAP Java api's directly ... not via BI Beans.

Problem in calling XI generated Web Service via Java Web Dynpro

Hi experts,
I have problems with calling a web service, which was created by XI. I have already tested the web service with Altova XMLSpy. The Web Service works fine.
But when embedding this web service into Java Web dynpro application no message flow is given. I have two views one Selection View and one Result View which should show the answer sent by RFC-Call.
<b>My Settings in NWDS:</b>
During configuration of web dynpro I have choosen 'Import adaptive Web Service Model' --> Select wsdl file via local file system --> 'no logical destinations - use WSDL URL for metadata retrieval and web service execution'.
The model is also not shown in diagram view although I have added into the diagram.
The web service was created on XI 7.0.
Should I do any other settings e.g. in Visual Administrator, Web Dynpro Content Administrator?
So can anybody help me.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Mario

Hi Aviad,
thanks for your fast reply.
But in Web Service Navigator my Web Service is not shown, because I used the SOAP Adapter.
<b>My Web Service link:</b>
http://<host>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:SRV_GBD_WS_GET_DEB_DETAIL:CC_GBD_WEBSERVICE_SENDER&version=3.0&Sender.Service=&Interface=%5E*
During executing Web Dynpro I got following errors:
1. 'The system cannot find the path specified'.
2. com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.exception.WSModelRuntimeException: Exception on creation of service metadata for WSDL URL

Mario
