Difference beetween QAASW and Web Service Connections

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to install a connection between Xcelsius and a QaaWS I created, but it doesn't work. In the list of the different connections available in the Xcelsius Connections Manager, the "QaaWS" connections doesn't appear. Instead of that I can choose the "Web Service Connections" type.
Do you think this little difference can't be the source of my big problem?
If not, do any of you would like to risk an explanation about this odd pheanomenom (which seems to belongs to the category of the surnatural things thats happens when I even try to undertake a slight complex task in my Business Objects environnment)
In advance , thanks a lot ( why "in advance"? Because I feel, I'll get an answer, as an old bohemian woman who's suddenly poped in my office today told me one you would light the darkness of my interrogations)
Bye bye !!

Hi Meryll,
As you have already noticed, invoking a QaaWS URL into the standard Web Service Connection will NOT fire, regardless if everything is configured correctly.
I would assume that this is by design due to the fact that QaaWS Web Services are fetching data out of a BOE server. As such, anything that has to do with BOE connectivity (LiveOffice, QaaWS, Open/Save/Import/Export to Enterprise) is only available in the Xcelsius 2008 Engage Enterprise edition.
Thanks.

Difference between Direct binding , Web service Adapter and HTTP Binding

Can any one help what is the differnce between
*1) Direct binding*
*2) Webservice Adapter*
*3) HTTP Binding*
I am trying to use the above service adapters as references in BPEL.
I had invoked a web service hosted in OSB from BPEL via web service adapter and was successful
On going through few docs came through the other two service adapters but was not able to figure out what exactly is the differnce .
I learnt +"*Direct binding*"+ can be used to call OSB+ . How does it vary from Webservice Adapter+

hi Eric ,
Thanks for clarification ..
OSB does not generate WSDL and web service adapter in BPEL mandates WSDL .
I had to create WSDL separately and then feed into Web service adapter in BPEL to call OSB Proxy service. Though successful , felt its not an better approach.
Please advice is there any way thatWSDL is generated in OSB itself . .if i try to create webservice on Proxy service the wsdl resulted from it has only binding and porty type .
Is it the same case for ++Direct binding++ .I assume it should not be the case

Calculations in Xcelsius using data generated by a Web Service Connection

Hi,
I have set up a web service connection to pull in 4 columns of data: 1. CATEGORY 2. SUBCATEGORY 3. PRODUCT TYPE   4.#OFCALLS. There will be anywhere from 1 to 500 rows of data depending on day of week and time of day. The web service sorts the list by #OFCALLS descending. The OUTPUT VALUES of the web service connection are mapped to cells A19:D518.
Formulas in the spreadsheet take the Top 10 from the list and populate it to cells A4:D13. A formula in cell D15 sums the #OFCALLS for the entire web service connection output (A19:D518).
The data in A4:D15 is mapped to a spreadsheet table on my canvas.   When the report generates, the data from the TOP 10 of the web service connection populates properly, but the cell that should reflect the TOTAL#OFCALLS (D15) shows zero.
Is it not possible to do additional calculations in the spreadsheet based on data generated by the web service connection? A major difference between using an XML Map and a Web Service Connection is the XML Map actually populates the spreadsheet with the new data when it is refreshed. The Web Service connection data never actually appears in the spreadsheet itself, even though it updates to the appropriate vessel on the canvas.   This makes me think that no additional calculations can be done in the spreadsheet based on the web service connection data.
Can anyone tell me if that is correct? If so, then the web service connection would also have to pull in the TOTAL#OFCALLS along with the other data.   This would also seem to greatly limit what you could do with data generated by a web service connection, so I am hoping I am wrong and just don't understand how to do this.
Can anyone clarify this for me? If I failed to give any pertinent info let me know what it is, and I will update my post.
Thanks!

I have seen similar behavior as well. I have live data coming into Xcelsius from a data connection.
A supported Excel formula
=IF(ISBLANK(J2),I2,VALUE(TODAY()-J2))
is then applied to one of the columns to create an additional derived column.
Taking a snapshot of the data shows that the derived column is being populated, however the controls I've tried hooking up to the derived column (charts and labels) are always empty.
Information on whether this is supported would be appreciated.
Thank you,
David

HP OfficeJet Pro 8630 and Web Services

I just purchased and installed the 8630. Everything works fine except the web services. I get a message that the printer is unable to connect to the server. I checked the wireless network configuration and everthing is correct - gateway, mask, DNS. I have restarted the printer several times. What should I do?

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Commentary
The service requires a really good connection to the Internet. Perhaps if you are using the default connection structure, the setup is not sufficient for the task. That does not mean your connection is incorrect, simply that another method that might provide a more robust means of connecting the printer to the remote print server.
A more robust connection may mean a happier "web services" connection.
The following might help:
Add Device to Printer
See Section titled > Troubleshooting and Additional Help >>
Sub-section > Web Services – The Nightmare “Cannot Connect”
I hope this helps. I use the "static IP" and ISP DNS setup on my Officejet 8630.

"Unable to load URL" - SQL Server 2005 DB Web Service Connection

Hi ,
I am using XCelsius version 5.0.0.99 to create dashboards connecting to SQL Server 2005.
Find below the details of the steps -
1. Created a web service within SQL Server 2005 database.
2. Copied the WSDL URL.
3. In XCelsius 2008 -> Data Manager -> Web Service Connection, pasted the URL in the WSDL URL input box and clicked "Import" to import the methods. At this point I am getting "Unable to load URL" .
Am I missing any step ?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Note : I have tested the web service by using it in a ASP.Net project and works fine.
Thanks
Chitra

Hi,
Error :unable to Load URL occurs" because Crystal xcelsius only support single schema web service created from Query as a web service and Flynet tool available in xcelsius 2008.
The reason:
All the web service create from Sql 2005 ,PHP script produced multiple scehma web service and crystal xcelsius only support single schema web service which can be created from Query as a web service or Flynet.
Please revert in case of any queries.

Mapping input values for a web service connection to a range of cells

I've created a web service connection in Xcelsius data manager. My web service requires an array of integer as input parameter. How do I map input values for a web service connection to read from a range of cells in the spreadsheet, e.g. $A$2:$A$20, in similar way of mapping output values to write to a range of cells in the spreadsheet?
For output values of the web service, I can specify to map the output values to write to a range of cells. However, it doesn't seem to work for reading the input values.
I can map input values for each node to a single cell, e.g. $A$2, in the spreadsheet. However, when I set the "Read From" field to a range of cells, e.g. $A$2:$A$20, it only reads in the first value in the range.
Is there any way that we can do this mapping for input values as we do for output values?
Your assistance is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Van

Van,
There is a workaround for that...
Example:
My Webservice accepts input data range in a specific format with " :" symbol, i.e. 072008:082008
Now what i do is
A1 = 072008
A2 = 082008
A3 = CONCATENATE(A1,":",A2)
so A3 = 072008:082008
Now i map the input value in web service to cell A3
P.S have 2 input box components and map it to cells A1 and A2, i.e you are giving users an option to enter the range of values...then web service will capture the range and refreshes data with the range of values user entered.
hope this helps..

XML and Web Service Data Source Missing in Crystal Reports for VS

I would like to use a Web Service as the data source for a Crystal Report that will be running outside of my Visual Studio application. So setting the data source to the web service in code is not possible. My understanding is Crystal Reports has a connection (in the Database Expert under New Connection) named XML and Web Service. Here you can select web service and enter the WSDL URL for the web service. However it does not appear in the list for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio. Does this connection type come with the Visual Studio version of Crystal Reports and if not is their a way to obtain it?
Thank you for your assistance.

None of the bundled versions of CR have the driver. Reason is that the driver responsible for these connections requires the Java framework and I suspect MS would not be too pleased if we installed the Java framework. The stand alone versions, since they are not part of any bundle can and do install the Java framework and the driver. Note that even the latest release of CR - CRVS2010 does not have the driver as it essentially becomes a bundle or a VS2010 plug-in.
So, the short of it is; you have to obtain a stand-alone version of CR. I'd recommend CR 2008 (12.x) as CRXI R2 will run out of support in June of this year.

Dynamic columns on output values for a Web Service connection

Hello,
I'm trying to create a web service connection that is similar in response to the XML data connection in that i don't want to fix the number of columns per row down in the WSDL. i.e. i want to create an array of columns:
<xsd:complexType name="XLRowDef">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="column" curashared:shortname="c" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
and for the user of the WSDL (the guy who will design the dashboard) to be able to fix and link the number of columns when he designs the dashboard. I was hoping the button would reveal itself in the "output values" box much like it does in the "input values" but no matter how i twist the xsd - no joy. I also tried just linking the column element to multiple excel columns but still fixes to the first column in the range. Can this result be achieved in Xcelsius short of using an XML data connection?
Regards,
Gilbert

Error with web services connection to B1 DI API

We are attempting to utilize the web services connection to SAP Business One and are running into difficulty. Below are the particulars:
-   We are attempting to make a web services connection to B1 using PHP on Linux.
-   We are able to establish a session, but not able to make a successful web services request.
-   The attempted action is to add a Business Partner
-   Error we are receiving:
SoapFault exception: Not Found in /var/www/test.php:83 Stack trace: #0 : SoapClient->__doRequest('__call('Add', Array) #2 /var/www/test.php(83): SoapClient->Add(Array) #3
-         We are also able make a successful web services request to the same B1 server using ASP from Windows.
-         Once we establish a session through PHP / Linux, the DI Server will not respond to either PHP or ASP on Windows
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Russell,
Since you are getting a "SoapFault Exception", you must be trying to use SOAP messaging. The DI API does not understand SOAP messages. You would need to use the DI Server (SDK Help has information on DI Server) for SOAP based messaging and in turn you may also want to look at the Business One Web Services (B1WS) tool that s located in the Tools section of the SAP Business One main page here on SDN.

Slow response when using Xcelsius web service connection witn input values

We've been very successful in using the Xcelsius Web Service Connection. We've recently moved forward toward using input values when calling a web service and having issues with response time. Without input values, it takes 3 - 6 seconds to retrieve and display the results in Xcelsius, but, when using the input values to the web service, it takes about 27 seconds for Xcelsius to retrieve and display the results. Does anyone have experience with fixing slow response associated with using input values for a web service connection?

Hi Sharone,
What's the version of your Xcelsius and BOBJ server?
I'm asking because using the last version of BOBJ server (BOXI 3.1 SP 3) you have new services on CMC just to help Xcelsius to work better with WebServices.
Regards,
Rodrigo.

Web Service Connection in Xcelsius 2008

I have recently upgraded from 4.5 to Xcelsius 2008 and am having trouble getting the Web Service Connections set up correctly for my QaaWS.
I have 7 LiveOffice connections in a model that seem to all refresh on load fine and i have already set up a Web Service Connection that picks up the drill through path of what the user has clicked on and used them as input parameters to a QaaWS query.
I now need to add another Web Service Connection for another QaaWS and i get the following error message;
"Unable to Load URL"
I have checked the available QaaWS services using dswsbobje/qaawsservices and the 2 queries appear as i would expect.
I have checked the dsws.properties file and the user name and password are correct (which i would expect as teh 1st connections works in the Xcelsius model.
I have restarted the Tomcat server and CMS and this does not cure the problem.
I have even tried re-installing QaaWS.
I have installed SP1 fix 1 for 2008. I am currently using XIR2 SP2.
Can anyone help as sometimes this functionality works and sometimes it does not. The 2 queries i want to use point aty teh ssame database and BO Universe.

Hi Anthony,
You might check that type of the licence type of the user QaaWSPrincipal. I had a problem where the QaaWSPrincipal user was Concurrent Access License while my server was Named User only. Switching to Named User resolved the problem.
However, I am not sure that this is your issue as the you have one QaaWAS url working. YOu might want to check your URL is available
try
http://<name of server>:<Tomcat port number>/dswsbobje/qaawsservices
This contains a list of all URLs. Finally, you might look at importing the wsdl into other applications to see if the issue is Xcelsius or QaaWS related. You can copy to MS Office InfoPath with steps described below.

Web Service connection timeout

How to configure the web service connection timeout properties (eg. weblogic.wsee.transport.connection.timeout) in configuration files rather setting them at client's stub code?
Help is appreciated.

This might be due to following reasons.
Please check whether firewall exist between Pi and external system. If so check with network team weather port or connectivity is established between PI server and external system. This should be the main reason. Also check the target URL and see whether you can able to consume the webservice directly from Soapui without PI. If your workstation is within PI's landscape and you see the same timed out error, then the network connectivity is the issue. Ask them to enable the port.

BODS SOAP Web Service Connection error RUN-248005

Hi Experts,
I need help connecting SOAP web service to BODS. We have configured the initial set up by importing the functions from the WSDL that was provided to us. The WSDL provided us with a request and reply schema as follows:
We then created the data service job that would consume the function call. An overview of the dataflow is as follows:
When we run the job with null values for the source table the job returns no errors, but returns no data either into the destination table (Which we think is to be expected because we have no parameters to search on). If we add a value to the source table that is a required field for WSDL GET function (sys_ID) the job runs, but produces the error shown below:
We configured the data flow by using a reference document that can be found at this link: http://www.dwbiconcepts.com/etl/23-etl-bods/158-web-service-call-in-sap-data-services.html.
Any help in regards to why we are getting a “No response to web service error” would be much appreciated! Also, if further detail is needed please feel free to ask.

Yes we did make progress. Follow the steps listed below.
Pre-Configuration
A WSDL for BODS can be provided from your vendor (Amazon or Twitter) or created in-house. In my tutorial I will be using ServiceNow. ServiceNow is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) provider of IT service management (ITSM) software.
The WSDL provided should look like this:
           https://<instance>.service-now.com/incident.do?WSDL
To verify that the WSDL works you can open it in a browser to see the xml schema. Since the WSDL is HTTPS the browser will prompt you to enter credentials in order to view it. The username and password will need to be provided to you from vendor you are trying to connect to.
BODS requires that any web service connection that is https to have a certificate saved to its internal configuration on the job server where the application resides. The certificate is referenced when the call goes out to verify authentication.
You can get the server certificate from the vendor who is providing the web service or you can also download the certificate from the browser and save it in base64 binary encoded format to a file and use that. In my example I will be using Firefox to export.
if you have fire fox, then on the left side before the URL Address bar there will be a lock icon, click on view certificate, select the details tab, select the *.service- now.com and click on export, in the dialog box, select the Save as type X.509 Certificate (PEM), you can save this with any name on your machine.
Now go to the JobServer machine, go to %LINK_DIR%\ext\ folder, open axis2.xml in notepad,
since it's https uncomment the following tag (transportReceiver)

it should look line something below
<transportReceiver name="https" class="axis2_http_receiver">
<parameter name="port" locked="false">6060</parameter>
<parameter name="exposeHeaders" locked="true">false</parameter>
</transportReceiver>
uncomment the following tag (transportSender) and comment out the parameter KEY_FILE and SSL_PASSPHRASE, enter the complete location of the certificate that you saved from the browser in the SERVER_CERT parameter. you can save the certificate also in this folder

this should look like
<transportSender name="https" class="axis2_http_sender">
<parameter name="PROTOCOL" locked="false">HTTP/1.1</parameter>
<parameter name="xml-declaration" insert="false"/>
</transportSender>
<parameter name="SERVER_CERT">enter the certificate path</parameter>


save this file and open this file is browser to make sure that the XML is valid

to configure the ADMIN and CLUSTER service connections to be SSL
rather than tcp? I suppose I should add the PORTMAPPER to that list.
My primary interest is for an SSLCLUSTER service in the case where
two brokers are connected over a non-trusted network. It may
not be too difficult to secure all the services the same way, but
perhaps that is on the TODO list.
A related question is if there are plans to add SSL with client
authentication as a stronger authentication mechanism than 'simple'
username and password. I believe you could get the username from
the client certificate's DN and continue to use the same LDAP user
repository for access control. I think this is similar to the way
that BEA's Weblogic server does it.
Finally should it be possible to deploy the HTTP tunnel servlet to
a webserver (such as iPlanet Web Server) configured to do SSL with
client authentication as a work-around to get stronger authentication
with the current release of the product? Or am I perhaps missing some
obvious and important detail? :) I guess I would like to know it's been
done already or is at least possible before I try and do it myself.

3 scenarios involving SSL are:
1: JMS client <------- SSL -------> iMQ broker
2: iMQ admin <------- SSL -------> iMQ broker
3: iMQ broker <------- SSL -------> iMQ broker (i.e clusters)
(1) is currently supported in iMQ 2.0
(2) and (3) is not supported in iMQ 2.0. No concrete plans yet to support
it in the near future but we'll definitely consider doing it if we
hear a lot of demand for it.

This is on our todo list, but due to other more pressing issues we
have not been able to address it. We will continue to keep it
on our potential list of new features.
Sorry if I sound pretty wishy-washy in my responses above, but the fact
is that the things you mentioned above had to take a backseat
to other more critical features. That and the usual time/resource
constraints caused them not to be implemented.

Yes, this should be possible (although I don't believe we've tried it here).
The client authentication here is really only between the JMS client and the
web server (not between the tunnel servlet and the iMQ broker) and should
be similar in setup to any other java application talking to iPlanet Web
Server.
