Exposing a report as RESTful web service - Parameters

Hi,
I am creating a RESTful web service by exposing an apex report. It just works fine and it renders the data. However I want to have parameters and values in the web service URL so that the data can be filtered based on the parameter values?
For example:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex_rest.getReport?app=100&page=15&reportid=rest_example renders correctly for the report query
select * from (
select
"CUSTOMER_ID",
"CUST_FIRST_NAME",
"CUST_LAST_NAME",
"CUST_STREET_ADDRESS1",
"CUST_STREET_ADDRESS2",
"CUST_CITY",
"CUST_STATE",
"CUST_POSTAL_CODE",
"PHONE_NUMBER1",
"PHONE_NUMBER2",
"CREDIT_LIMIT",
"CUST_EMAIL"
from #OWNER#.DEMO_CUSTOMERS )
where (
instr(upper("CUST_FIRST_NAME"),upper(nvl(:P15_REPORT_SEARCH,"CUST_FIRST_NAME"))) > 0 or
instr(upper("CUST_LAST_NAME"),upper(nvl(:P15_REPORT_SEARCH,"CUST_LAST_NAME"))) > 0
)But I want to filter the result for a particular customer id by getting a value in the URL like this.
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex_rest.getReport?app=100&page=15&reportid=rest_example&P15_CUSTOMER_ID=6 and to use the value received thro the URL in the report query
select * from (
select
"CUSTOMER_ID",
"CUST_FIRST_NAME",
"CUST_LAST_NAME",
"CUST_STREET_ADDRESS1",
"CUST_STREET_ADDRESS2",
"CUST_CITY",
"CUST_STATE",
"CUST_POSTAL_CODE",
"PHONE_NUMBER1",
"PHONE_NUMBER2",
"CREDIT_LIMIT",
"CUST_EMAIL"
from #OWNER#.DEMO_CUSTOMERS
where customer_id = :P15_CUSTOMER_ID)
where (
instr(upper("CUST_FIRST_NAME"),upper(nvl(:P15_REPORT_SEARCH,"CUST_FIRST_NAME"))) > 0 or
instr(upper("CUST_LAST_NAME"),upper(nvl(:P15_REPORT_SEARCH,"CUST_LAST_NAME"))) > 0
)Is it possible to have it working in this way?
I am currently testing this in apex 4.2 and Oracle 11g XE. My development environment will be Apex 4.1 and Oracle 11g.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Natarajan

It does accept values for the parameters but does not accept value names in the URL.
The previous thread Restful web service passing character parameters helped me to get it working.
Thanks.

Report Repointing using RESTful Web Services

With respect to this link: Changing Dataproviders for a Webi Report using RESTful Web Services
Cosider the following scenario:
You have an automation code using which, you accepts 20 report id and their respective Current universe id and New universe id.
If suppose, you have user input prompts in 10 reports and you don't know those 10 reports, how will you provide values to those prompts at a single execution of the code?
OR
Is there any function using which you can provide associated random value to those prompts?

Hi Raghunath,
Looking at your macro, most of the functionality would be available with REST SDK. With BI 4.x REST is now only SDK which provides APIs to work with webi report. With .NET or Java SDK we could not eeven schedule a webi doc with prompts.
With BI 4.1 REST APIs include.
refresh report, schedule report, save report, export which is done by your macro.
For detailed tasks, such as saving and modifying the report for specific users and send to schedule, you would need to play around with REST Urls to understand the workflow.
For starters take a look at the devleopers guide for REST here:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sbo41/en/sbo41_webi_restful_ws_en.pdf
Here is the doc which compares the availability of SDK APIs with different BI versions.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-53285
For any Enterprise level tasks, you could always use .NET or Java enterprise SDk and comibe it with your REST app.

Binding RESTful web service / being exposed to a RESTful web service

Hi , I have two quick questions
1. can ORACLE BPEL bind a RESTful web service?
2. can a BPEL process be exposed to a RESTful web service?
Thanks

Bumping back to the top of the list.
Has anyone got any experience with RESTful web services saving to an item vs. a collection? Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

Report Bursting with RESTful Web Services SDK

Hi,
We are looking to upgrade to BI 4.x from BI 3.1. We are not sure whether RESTful Web Services SDK is the way to go. We have a requirement where we need to be able to refresh a report, save the whole report content to a specified forma for a team lead/manager, and then section/burst each report to separate files that each is corresponding to the individual employee. In other words, for example, we have a team constent of 1 manager and 4 employees. We want to save one report for the manager with all the content from the 4 employees, and then 4 individual reports that each belong to each employee. We current have a macro code that does this in BI 31 refreshing Deski reports. We want to upgrade to BI 4.X, but the Deski and macro are no longer supported. The macro in BI 3.1 we used to control when to refresh, where to save the reports and update our external datasource that the reports finished refreshing and available for view. We want to keep the same functionality so that it is not a whole redesign of the system when the upgrade happens. Thank you so much for your help. Any sample code, tips and guides are helpful. I am looking to prototype first before I can confirm this will work when upgrading. I have a code snippet in macro (VBA) from BI 3.1 in the attached file for reference if you know of the equivalent.

hi,I have a problem in a report published as web service.indeed, the report has a parameter, a date.Client side I do this://I create the parameter ParameterFields paramFields = new ParameterFields(); ParameterField paramField = new ParameterField(); ParameterDiscreteValue paramDiscreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue(); paramField.Name = "date"; paramDiscreteValue.Value = "10/10/2006"; paramField.CurrentValues.Add(paramDiscreteValue); paramFields.Add(paramField);//I add the parameter into the crVievwer crystalReportViewer.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;//I call the web service to get data crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = "http://localhost/WebService/Rapport1Service.asmx"; Server Side :Now, I want to get back the parameter in the web service (in Rapport1Service.asmx, so server-side) to be able to call my storedprocedure with the good parameter, this one which was put on the client side (10/10/2006).I tried to do crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = "http://localhost/WebService/Rapport1Service.asmx?date=22/10/2006" on the client side but no way. i don't find a solution, is there any way to make this possible ?Moreover, i have one database for each user, so i need to pass the user name, password and account too..

I have found a solution.
I create a web service in which i return a dataset, filled with the data wanted.the web service take as parameter: the report name we want, the parameter(s), and the username and password (to check if the user has right to access to data.)After that, I fill the report, client side, with the datasen given. i don't know if it's the best solution but it works !

Hi guys,
I will have an application which will have a service serving about to 30 million users/day and a mean of 5 requests/user.
It means that there will be about 150 million requests per day. I will have two servers behind a load balancer and my clients will be both Java and C++.
I think to implement RESTFUL Web Services but afraid of performance issues.
Did you have a knowledge about the performances of web service and socket programming in such a high loaded project?It depends on the CPUs, RAM, disks, and network configurations of those servers.
It depends on how the requests are distributed throughout the day.
It depends on how big the requests are and how big the responses are.

Use Xmlspy or some editor to modify or edit the WSDL as per need.
elementFormDefault="qualified"
This means that all the elements in the XML document must have namespace variable prefixed with them.
elementFromDefault="unqualified"
This means that not all the elements in the XML document requires namespace variable prefixed with them. Only the root element has to be prefixed with namespace variable.

Java - rest web services question.

Hi all,
I am new to SOAP and Rest based web services.
In my current standalone application, the request and response payload of a query are in the form of a xml document. This application needs to be accessed by several applications that are written in diffrent programming languages(.net, python etc).
Thus I want my application to be exposed as a web service. Some web services need to be SOAP based and others need not be.
I understand that I need to follow the below steps to make Rest based web service :
1a) I would expose my application interface description and business methods as URIs in a html/xml document.
1b) If client wants to retrieve data, how will he programatically access the associated URI and set the method parameters (if any)?
Also how does he send the request back to my application and how will my application understand it?
1d) Can the code to understand the client request be written in any programming language since Rest does not restrict usage of specific tools.
1f) It looks like the key feature of Rest is to have URIs in the reponse payload xml.
Is this always required? In other words, can the reponse xml be one long xml without URIs to the embedded resources?
Please let me know if Java has any API/tutorials to support the above requirements.
Your input is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your valuable time and interest.

You will be interested in JSR 311 JAX-RS: The JavaTM API for RESTful Web Services. This JSR is in the very early stages. The SWDP (Sun Web Developers Pack) 1.0 contains a very preliminary implementation of RESTBeans which is the basis for this JSR. Download the SWDP and look at the docs/samples in the rest-impl directory. http://developers.sun.com/web/swdp/. Here is a link to some docs on the REST APIs http://developers.sun.com/docs/web/swdp/r1/rest-impl/docs/getting-started.html

HTTP error when trying to access RESTful web service from application

Hi,
We are getting the following error when trying to access a RESTful web service coming from Apex workspace 4.2.1 and Apex listener 2.1:
ORA-29273: HTTP request failed ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1130 ORA-29024: Certificate validation failure
In the Debug report, besides the above I also see:
error_backtrace: ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1130 ORA-06512: at "APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_WEB_SERVICES", line 543 ORA-06512: at "APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_WEB_SERVICES", line 1164 ORA-06512: at "APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_PROCESS", line 396
We get that error whether we use https or http in the URI pointing to the web service. When I test the Web Service in Workspace RESTful service GUI, I get the data back. When I go build an application with a report calling the RESTful Web Service I get that error. Both the Application and the Workspace RESTful services are on the same Apex environment and even the same workspace.
What is odd is that I can actually put the URL of the web service into a browser and I get the data: (using the demo hr data in sample RESTful services.)
IN browser-- https://weblogic-dev.edu/apex/ace/hr/empinfo/

Any ideas on what would be causing the Error above in our application?
Thanks,
Pat
Edited by: patfmnd on Mar 11, 2013 3:25 PM
In reviewing the above error, I think we are realizing that we have to have the Weblogic layer SSL cert (actually the CERT from our BigIP load balancer which also does our SSL termination) imported into the Oracle server wallet where Apex is installed. Am I correct?
PM

We resolved our problem. The Apex Administrative Guide made us realize that we had to set up Wallet path in the Instance. This required working with DBAs to follow the Advanced networking guide to get the wallet set up on our server. We then added that path to the Instance configuration. (Manager Instance --> Instance settings). We ran into another other issue related to our implementation of CAS but were able to resolve that, and 'voila' were able to get the sample RESTful service consumed by our application!!
Now to the task of figuring out how to get Basic Auth working between client application and RESTful web service. If anyone has that working, let us know!!
It would be helpful if in the documentation of the Apex 2.x listener or Apex install/configuration there was clear reference to the above steps required for HTTPS access to RESTful web services.

Is it possible to add a user using the RESTful Web Services SDK

Others have asked before about user management features in the RESTful Web Services SDK. However I can find no answers or links which provide an answer to the question 'Is it possible to add a user using the BI 4.1 SP2 RESTful Web Services SDK'?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve
Unfortunately, not possible. The BI RESTful can only get "stuff" that is already there. I suppose this would fall under some sort of "Object Creation" API and that is not there. Yet. Rumors abound, but nothing firm. Just as a BTW.; the Business Intelligence platform RESTful Web Service Developer Guide 4.1 is here:

URGENT: Rest web service with get method works fine in browser but not with java client(Android)

Hi ,
I have created one REST web service which accepts two parameters send back JSON results.

Consuming RESTful web service in Apex app

Hi,
I have created a RESTful Web service through an Apex application (4.0) and published as a public web service. Can someone point me to an example of how to then consume that service in another Apex app? The output is straightforward XML that I can retrieve just by pointing the browser to the URL of the service created, but when I go to create the REST Web Reference for the receiving application, I am not sure what to put for the Response Xpath or Response Namespace. The service is meant to just return report records that were created in the REStful Web service with no input required.
The service XML looks like this:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<PROJ_ID>132</PROJ_ID>
<PSL_NETID>xxxxxxxx</PSL_NETID>
<PROJECT_TITLE>11g- Oracle Upgrade to RAC 11g</PROJECT_TITLE>
<CUSTOMER>OIT</CUSTOMER>
<DIVISION>EIS</DIVISION>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<PROJ_ID>132</PROJ_ID>
<PSL_NETID>xxxxxx</PSL_NETID>
<PROJECT_TITLE>11g- Oracle Upgrade to RAC 11g</PROJECT_TITLE>
<CUSTOMER>OIT</CUSTOMER>
<DIVISION>CSS</DIVISION>
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have made progress in this. I created the RESTful report service in an Apex 4.1 application. (previous attempt was with 4.0 version of Apex)
I then created a separate application and created a RESTful web service reference that I tested and it was successful in bringing up XML. However in Apex 4.1, when I create a report following the Wizard for creating a report based on that Web service reference I get the error: ORA-31013: Invalid XPATH expression Which I don't know how to get past. The Xpath provided in the Web service reference test gave output below and brought back a result. There was no where during the Report creation to provide an Xpath. Am I missing something or is 4.1 not quite Web service ready??
This is what I get from the test of the Web service reference in the Apex App from which I want to create a report: (I see in this XML the data I was expecting from the test of the RESTful web service but it looks like the output I get from the Web service test is more like the Report xml itself.)

Error in REST Web Service with Output Format as Text

Hi All,
I am referencing a REST web service, and can successfully connect to it and retrieve results with the Output Format set to XML.
I don't need the individual node values, I just want to capture the entire XML as a string, and populate a table column with it.
When I create a new Rest web service reference, with Output Format set to Text, and then create a form/report to run it, I get the following error when I click 'Submit':
ORA-06550: line 1, column 63: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following: ( - + case mod new not null others avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute forall merge time timestamp interval date pipe
Error Error sending request.
There are control characters in the XML, but surely this is handled by Apex, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.
Any ideas most welcome.
Thanks,
Rhodri

Rhodri:
Application Express expects text response to actually be text response, delimited by other characters denoting a new value, and a new record set. You should leave the response as XML. The XML document will be stored in the xmltype01 column of the collection you specify. You can then convert that xmltype01 column to a clob if you like using .toClobVal().

Jason
