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,
Chih Hui

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.

  • Data Federator - Building Web Services Data Source - Request Guidance

    Hello -
    I am trying to build a web services data source in Data Federator.
    I have:
    1. In ECC, I have created a web service, proxy, port, endpoint, etc. and am testing it with WS Navigator
    2. I have created a Project in Data Federator of the type web service
        a. Here I have assigned the WSDL URL (generated in ECC) as the URL
        b. I have setup web service authentication using the same userid, pwd in the web services definition (note: I have set the
            web services authentication to 'NONE' to avoing authorization issues)\
        c. I am now trying to "Generate Operations"
    I keep getting the error :
    The File Access Parameters are not valid (directory path = <HERE IS THE PATH TO THE WSDL WITH THE HOST/PORT stripped OUT>; file pattern = document
    I believe that it is finding the WSDL, becuase when I change the WSDL from 'Document' to 'RPC', the error changes with the file pattern = rpc.
    What needs to be done to the file access parameter piece.
    PLEASE provide guidance.  Thanks.

    Ananya,
    We are using XI to load data to BI from source system. XI basically uses the same concept as Web Services - Real time data concept via RFC embeded in Proxies.
    I was using web services to test data load - eventually we will use XI.
    KJs blog is pretty good. I was able to get data loaded - after several iterations and several OSS notes. It is still not perfect - there are several manual steps . I am going to pick KJs brain on that.
    We are on SP10 and looks like there are several bugs in RSRDA. Some of these are addressed in SP11 an SP12.
    Some notes to consider are
    0001003963, 0001008276,0001009260 and 001003265.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • 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.

  • Connecting to Data via a web service:  WSDL vs HTTP REST

    I created an app and easily was able to get my data from my web service via connecting using the WSDL file.  I then added RESTful to my web service and tested it via SOAPUI and then I created a copy of my original app and deleted the link to my service and then added it but this time using the HTTP connection and I was able to connect, I was able to get my value objects created via the xml parser.  However, for some reason, my date fields are not working.  I went into debug and it says they are invalid.  I checked the xml for both the web service WSDL version and the HTTP RESTful and they look the same.  So why all of the sudden does my dates not work?
    SOAPui from web service
    <endDate>2011-05-30T09:53:00-06:00</endDate>
    RESTful address
    <endDate>2011-05-30T09:53:00-06:00</endDate>
    RESTful Flash
    endDate:Date
    WSDL Flash

    All other settings are blank.
    Does something need to be defined on the job server?
    The WSDL does not even open on the workstation unless I use an adapter. I had found an article/help/note (something) that the web service in SAP DS does not work with HTTPS and it does with an HTTP Adapter.
    I do not have access to Job Server, will have to schedule some changes if there is config that has to happen there.
    Thanks for your input.

  • Dates coming from web service

    Hi,
    I'm currently trying to consume in VC a CAF Application Service exposed as a Web Service. I'm able to retrieve what I want but I have a problem with dates format.
    The web service returns dates in the following format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:NN:SS
    When I test my data service in VC it works fine. When I run my iview, VC swap the month and the day and compute the new date...
    It's not just a problem of formatting with DVAL and DSTR because the date is already computed.
    Example:
    Date returned from web service: 2007-09-21T00:00:01
    Date returned from test data service in VC: 21.09.2007
    Date returned at runtime: 09.09.2008
    VC understand 21.09.2007 not like DD.MM.YYYY but like MM.DD.YYYY so 21.09.2007 becomes 09.09.2008
    I also tried to check on the server Regional and Language option but it doesn't come from there.
    Have you ever faced this problem?
    Thx

    Hi,
    It is a Web Service generated by NWDS (to expose my CAF Application Service)and deployed on the server.
    The url si like http://<hostname>:<port>/mywebservice/Config1?wsdl
    The Web Service runs correctly.
    When I call a method of my web service to retrieve a list of objects (CAF Entity Services) and their attributes, it returns attributes of type String and Dates of type 'java.util.GregorianCalendar'.
    It seems that VC doesn't correctly understand this type of Date at runtime

  • Deliver data to external web service possible in OBIEE 11g?

    Hi all,
    I'm looking into the possibility of "pushing" data from OBIEE and out to an external web service, e.g. through executing a scheduled report that instead of delivering the result on screen, it would call an external web service that would consume the generated data for storage in an external system.
    Does anyone know if this is possible to implement in OBIEE 11g? (So far, all I've found is how to display data in OBIEE through consumation of web service(s), but I'd like to "push out" data to a web service from OBIEE).

    Hi,
    just create a skeleton for the Web Service. In JDeveloper, create a new project and then use the "NEW" context menu option.
    Navigate to "Business Tier" --> Web Services and select "Web Service Proxy"
    In teh following, provide the WSDL reference to create the Java proxy. This gives you accss to the WS without having to parse the XML yourself

  • Trying to pass xml data to a web service

    I'm working on an Apex application that is required to pass data to a web service for loading into another (non Oracle) system. The web service expects two stings as input, the first string is simply an ID, the second string is an xml document. I generate an xml 'string' using PL/SQL in an on-submit process prior to invoking the web service. If I pass regular text for the second parameter, the web service returns an error message which is stored in the response collection and displayed on the page as expected. When I pass the the xml data, I get a no data found error and the response collection is empty. I have tried this in our development environment on Apex 3.1.2 (database version 10.2). I also tried this on our Apex 4.0.2 sandbox (with the same Oracle 10.2 database). I have found that once I have nested xml, I get the no data found message, if I pass partial xml data, I get the error response from the web service. Perhaps I am not generating the xml correctly to pass to the web service (this only just occurred to me as I write this)? Or is there an issue passing xml data from Apex to the web service? Any help will be greatly appreciated! here is the code I use to generate the xml string:

The user reviews the data in a sql report region. When the use clicks on the Upload (SUBMIT) button, the xml string is generated first and then the web service is invoked. I have tried passing a simple string as the second parameter ("dummydata") and partial data in the xml string ("<sendingPerson>Test, Christine</sendingPerson>") the web service returns this error in both cases:
    Error[Validate Data]: (XML) = Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.. Cannot validate the XML! Data Exchange not accepted!Once I pass the entire xml string above, I get an Oracle-01403: no data found error. I have opened the web service in IE and pasted my xml input string and received a valid, verified result, so I am sure that the generated xml is correct. I have spoken with the web service developer; there are no log entries created by the web service when I submit the full xml string, so I suspect the failure is in the Apex application.
    Thanks,
    Christine
    I should add that once I have nested tags in the xml, I get the Oracle no data found error ("<header xmlns=""> <stdXmlVer>2.0</stdXmlVer> <sendingUnit>10</sendingUnit> </header>"). I f I do not have nested tags in the xml ("<notification>[email protected]</notification> <creationDate>2011-12-20</creationDate>"), I get the web service response (error).

    Ok, I think I'm getting closer to thinking this all the way through. When I have used clobs in the past, I've always used the DBMS_CLOB package. I use this to create a temp clob and then make the above calls. I had to go find an example in my own code to remember all of this. So, here is another suggestion... feel free to disregard all the previous code snippets..
    declare

          ,replace(replace(u_going_to_vqc,'Yes','true'),'No','false') u_going_to_vqc
          ,u_promoter,u_cds,u_terminator
          ,u_primary_trait,u_source_mat_prvd,u_pro_resistance_1,u_vector_type

    end;This code will use the Database to construct your clob and then convert it back to a varchar2 for output to your webservice. This makes more sense to me now and hopefully you can follow what the process is doing.
    You don't technically need the two varchar2(36767) variables. I used two for naming convention clarity sake. You could use just one multipurpose variable instead.
    If you have any questions, just ask. I'll help if I can.

  • Unzip data received from web service?

    In my Apex 3.0.1 application I am trying to obtain data from a web service. The problem is that the returned data is first zipped and then encoded using base 64 coding.
    I can decode the data using the utl_encode package and if I download the result, I can unzip it using winzip to get the original XML message. However, I need to unzip the message within Apex in order to process the content. The Oracle package utl_compress provides uncompression functions for the LZ compression algorithm but this does not seem to be the same as winzip etc.
    Thanks for any suggestions anyone might have.

    One way would be to use a Java stored procedure to perform the unzipping.

  • How can i records with date format using web services?

    Hello
    I can't record date records using web services. I get no message errors.
    I can import string values but no dates (YYYY-MM-DD). Do you have any clue about that?
    Regards
    Arturo

    hello,
    That's the code I'm using to update an opportunity. In the date fields (e.g. dFecha_de_entrega_al_cliente) I've tried to put an specific date in the correct format (If i put it in another format i've got an error message due the wrong format). The CRM accepted the code but it didn't update the values that are different of string.
    I don´t know if there is something missing in teh program or if the developer environment is not the adequate.
    Regards for your comments

  • How to Use SOAPArray to Exchanged Data with a Web Service

    The method of a prototype Web service I created is defined to take many parameters
    and return an object of a user defined class. Furthermore, the user defined class
    includes data elements of another user defined class and the Java ArrayList class.
    This works with a Java client referencing the WebLogic created client.jar file
    but I don't know how well it will work with a non-Java client. In particular,
    with Perl which is the language that will be used by the developer who first will
    test with the prototype.
    In posts to this newsgroup use of "language-specific, generic containers" has
    been discouraged and the "language-agnostic" SOAPArray recommended. I have searched
    this newgsroup and the Web for examples of how to use a SOAPArray in a Web service
    EJB to receive parameters and return results but found none.
    Will someone refer me to an example or give an overview of how a Java Web service
    EJB running in WebLogic 6.1 would use SOAPArray to get parameter values and return
    results?
    Also, I would like confirmation that it is best to use SOAPArray to exchange data
    with a Web service to achieve the goal of a service accessible by any language.
    Thank you.

    Replies in-line:
    How are the structures, e.g. gltrans-workType, defined in the Web service?The structure is made up of nested Java Beans, but this does not mean that the
    client for your web service has to be written in Java. The WSDL that I sent contains
    everything that a .NET-based (or Perl-based, or Python-based, or VB-based, or
    C++ based) Web Service Stack needs to correctly create all the data types in the
    web services' signature! That's the beauty of XML Schema! It's programming language
    independent :-)
    In
    other words, what definition in Java resulted in the WSDL statements?The WSDL wasn't produced by WLS 6.1, but it (WLS 6.1) can consume it.
    What is the signature of method submitGLTransWorkAsJavaBean() in the
    Web service?public void submitGLTransWorkAsJavaBean(GlTransactionsCpyType glTransactionsCpyType)
    GlTransactionsCpyType is the outer-most Java Bean. WLS 6.1 does not generate
    Java Beans for you, but it will use ones that you defined. See the Java Bean tutorial
    on the Javasoft sitem for details on how to create a Java Bean.
    Was the WSDL generated using the WL tools for creating a Web service?No.
    Conclusion:
    You asked for someone to provide you with an example of how to use SOAP array
    in a WSDL, which is what the attached file contained :-) What you want to do now
    is find a tool that can generate Java Bean code from this WSDL (Apache Axis has
    a wsdl2java tool that should work), or create the Java Beans yourself. Afterwards,
    create a WLS 6.1 Web Service a expose it for a Perl or .NET client.

    Hi Jeff,
    Sounds like a pretty cool prototype :-)
    I have attached a WSDL (at the bottom of this post) that contains a<schema>
    that
    uses a SOAPArray to create an array of a <complexType>.
