Creation of a web service datasource in APO BW

I am using APO V5, which includes BW V7.
I need to create a 'web service' datasource in APO BW, so that I can receive XML data from XI to update the datasource.
How can I create the 'web service' datasource?... should the 'logical system' be the connected XI system?
Thanks,
Bob Austin

You will require to create source System for Web Service Folder - Where you will require to maintain Logical System Name, Source System Name,  Type and Release

  • Data Federator - Changing Web Service Datasource URL

    Hi,
    I am using Data Federator XI 3.0.
    I have a few web service datasources with their WSDL URL set to the location of the web service on my development machine. If I deploy the web service on the production server, is there a way to simply update WSDL URL of the datasources in Data Federator without recreating them (copy to draft, update operations, reselect operations, etc.) ?
    I tried putting the URL in a deployment context parameter, but it did not work. The datasources still reference the old URL even when I changed the URL in the parameter.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    If you want to configure Connections post deployment, it is required for your application to be configured with a Writable MDS Repository.As I had mentioned in the blog also, for this you need a entry in adf-config.xml and that your server should have a registered MDS store. Unless you will do this, the connection endpoint changes that you are doing will not be saved.
    To give an example, at the application end, in adf-config.xml, you need an entry like the following:
    <adf-mds-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/mds/config">
    <mds-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/mds/config" version="11.1.1.000">
    <persistence-config>
    <metadata-store-usages>
    <metadata-store-usage default-cust-store="true" deploy-target="true" id="myRepos">
    </metadata-store-usage>
    </metadata-store-usages>
    </persistence-config>
    </mds-config>
    </adf-mds-config>
    When you will deploy this app to a server with a registered MDS repository, the deployment will bring up a dialog where you will need to set(select/create) a partition for this app in the mds repository. Once, your deployment is done, now if you will change the endpoint using EM, it will save your changes.

  • Is Axis used in creation of a web service via Jdeveloper?

    I have a very simple java class that I am selecting and having the wizard create a web service. What actually is being done behind the scenes? Does Jdev 10g use Axis to create the Jax-rps web service? If so how can I change the parameters passed to the Axis calls. I need to force the creation of the web service to use SOAP 1.1 and WSDL 1.1. I have to consume this with a AXIS1 client.

    Hi Matthias,
    You can try using the ICF Recorder in TCode SICF, steps below:
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/12/adc54044ed7b2de10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
    That should at least catch the entire client request (1:1) before the error occurs. Remember to de-activate the recorder after you're done. There's also an option to activate a ICF trace using the similar menu path, this also should be de-activated once you're completed.
    Regarding the SOAMANAGER traces, it needs to be activated before anything is logged there. That might be why you're not seeing anything there.

    Please tell me some way to resolve the issue.
    I am not sure If I need to configure something at C:\Business Objects\common\3.5\java\CRConfig.xml for web service.
    Actually, We are using web service call from report it self and probably there are some steps missed by me for deployment.

    Hi Sanjay
    First you create a report using the data source in Crystal Reports DesignerStand Alone Application and then save it to repository.
    This is the easiest way to do it.
    You can refer to Crystal Reports User guide and also BOXI Admin guide for the version you are using.
    You can download the above from help.sap.com
    Hope this helps!!

  • User creation in a web service

    Hi everybody,
    in a web service we use a code like the following one to create a new EP user, but its ID is displayed as null.
    IUserMaint user = userFactory.newUser("<user>");
    user.setFirstName("firstname");
    user.setLastName("lastname");
    user.setEmail("<mail>");
    user.commit();
    IUserAccount userAccount = userAccountFactory.newUserAccount(testUserId, user.getUniqueID());
    userAccount.save();
    userAccount.commit();
    Can you help us?
    Thanks in advance.
    Angelo

    The sample code in the PDK uses:
            iusermaint = userFactory.newUser(username);
            //Save the data permanently.
            iusermaint.commit();
            //Save the new user's unique name and ID to the strings.
            uniqueName = iusermaint.getUniqueName();
            uniqueID = iusermaint.getUniqueID();
            //Create user account using the unique name and ID read
            //from the system before and the password read from the bean.
            IUserAccount iUserAccount = accountFactory.newUserAccount(uniqueName, uniqueID);
            iUserAccount.setPassword(password);
            //Save the data permanently.
            iUserAccount.commit();
    The difference to your code is that they appear to get the uniquieID from the just created user, whereas you have hardcoded it...

  • Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided when employing link between two web services datasources

    Post Author: vpost
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    I am trying to join information from two related web services within CR XI. I have successfully set up the web services as data sources have been able to get to the point where I get good data back. However, when I try to pull in certain fields, I get an error that says "Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided". Here's the scenario:
    The web services are structured as follows:Web Service 1 (Artist) has attributes of Artist Name and Date of Birth.Web Service 2 (CD) has attributes of CD Title and Release Date. Underneath each CD are songs, each of which have a Song Title and Artist Name.
    I have defined both web services and defined a link between Artist.Artist Name and CD/Song.Artist Name. I am able to run a report with Song Title and Date of Birth that crosses web services. I am able to run another report with Song Title and CD Title that crosses the different levels in the second web service. However, if I add CD Title to the first report or Date of Birth to the second (both of which effectively force CR to employ the link between the two web services AND the CD/Song hierarchical structure in the second web service, I get the aforementioned error.
    Any assistance understanding how multiple web services can be linked in this manner would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure about your exact situation, but having similar problem with another application and have tracked down to security. Added user to group Domain Admin and it works fine. It appears to be accessing a subdirectory which it does not have permission to use and then times out and returns the "invalid....". Seems that once the query just over a certain size (and I'm not sure what triggers this) it needs to make use of temparory file disk, intead of ram.
    I'm still trying to track down which temporary it's trying to uses - so if you have any ques.

  • Pl/Sql web service and collections not working

  • ABAP web service/ Virtual Interface

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to create a webservice for a ZRFC,when using the wizard in SE37>utilites>more utilities>create web service> from function module ,it's creating only the Webservice ,not prompting for a "virtual interface" .Same thing happens in se80,in create,under enterprise services node,i'm getting options only for web service and proxy object. Is there some thing missing.when excuting the webservice created from WSADMIN i'm getting 403 error ,page not found.
    how do i create virtual interface ??.
    we have version ECC 6.0,with software component SAP_BASIS 700 and java stack acitivated.How do i know what SAP Netweaver version we have ??.
    any help !
    Thanks
    Bvan

    Hi.  As of Netweaver 2004s,  the virtual interface piece has be absorbed into the creation of the web service definition, so there is no need to create it as well.   When you are getting the 403,  how are you trying to run this, using the Web Service Homepage?  If so, you will need to configure what j2e engine that you want to use to use.  You can do this in WSADMIN under the Administration settings.   Check that this is set.  YOu must know the URL of your j2e engine.

  • Enhancing web service tool to have further business objects and roots

    Hi Gurus,
    is it possible to enhance the web service tool in CRM 6.0, to have further business objects and root objects during the creation of a web service.
    Currently, there are specific entries, but I want to have additional data in here to create a customer specific word template.
    I have found out some tables, but I really do not know how to enhance them and if this is the correct way of adding additional business objects in the web service tool.
    Mentioned tables are CRMV_WS_METHODS and CRMV_WS_OBJ_REL.
    Has someone of you already did this? Helpful answers will be awarded.
    ThanX
      AleX

    Does nobody have an idea? According to help.sap, only these objects are web service enabled:
    -Business Transaction
    -Business Partner
    -Campaigns
    -Case
    -Counter
    -Installed Base
    -Marketing Segments
    -Marketing Attributes
    -Product
    source: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/71/365da2ab81488c8fc9b82fd8eb6f0f/content.htm
    But what about other components, such as BuAg (Business Agreement) or ISUMD (IS-U Master Data and further data from the ERP system). These components are in the GenIL, e.g.
    BUAG with implementation class CL_CRM_BUAG_IL1 or
    ISUMD with implementation class CL_CRM_ISU_IL_MD
    Is it necessary to use the Web Service Consumption Tool for creating BOL Objects, although the BUAG/ISUMD are already available in CRM?
    If so, what must be exactly done with this Tool. Does anyone have experiences here and can provide me further information?
    Thanx and regards

  • Is possible to load a hierarchy from web services?

    Hi Experts,
    I have a doubt, exists some way to load a hierarchy of a infoobject from a system source that is a Web Services? Somebody I could do this? It would give a guide me of steps to do...
    Thanks & Regards,
    Leonel

    Usually web service datasources load into a PSA. and hierarchies are loaded using IDoc. You could however load the data from the web service into another infoobject / DSO and create a custom hierarchy datasource . The procedure for the same - I came across something like this in ABAP for BW ( SAP Press ) ... do not have it now but it can be done...

    Hi,
    you may want to try the wsdl4j api, provided by ibm. You can download it from ibm's site. This api provides the tools you need to get everything out of a wsdl file, like methods, in-parameters, out-parameters etc. Now, to completely create the remote call at runtime, you need to create the request and response datatypes at runtime, in case they are not primitive (could be java beans for example). If you know the way to do this, please make a post because this is as far as i have gone implementing a trully dynamic client. i don't know how to create and use new classes at runtime.
    i hope i gave you some help
