Exposing Portal's User Management functionality via Web Service issue

Dear experts,
I am trying to create and deploy a web service that will tap into User Management functionality (UMFactory) of the Portal. I created a Java project with a Java class with one of the methods exposed via Web Service. Since this is a Java project and not a Web Dynpro project, a number of external jars and libraries, but I don't know how to add WD_RUNTIME and I am guessing that my problem is related to that.
When trying to run the application, I receive the following error message when trying to envoke UMFactory:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/tc/logging/Location
     at com.sap.security.api.UMFactory.<clinit>(UMFactory.java:166)
     at com.hollister.getusers.GetPortalUsers.getPortalUsers(GetPortalUsers.java:75)
     at com.hollister.getusers.GetPortalUsers.main(GetPortalUsers.java:39)
Please, help.
Thanks,
Alex

User Management via Web Services

Hi,
We are investigating building a user management application that will control user creation and management across a range of applications, including SAP ECC6 and BW. The idea is to use web services to interact with the systems. I have seen that a range of BAPIs exist for managing users (e.g. BAPI_USER_CREATE, BAPI_USER_CHANGE) - does anyone have any experience in using these BAPIs via web services that they would be willing to share?
Thanks

HI Colin,
We did that successfully. It was webservice/infopath based Interactive . net form which would do user management and also Workflow funtionality. In summary from my experience
- Initial cost would be cheaper, however ongoing maintainance on whole infrastructure should be considered.
- SAP BAPI/FM/webservice development was very easy
- Integration with Infopath was challange
- Fronted development was pain as you would need other people to do that for you
- Once operational, was very easy to managed
- Future enhancement was limitless
- Limitation of integration to other technology
- Should only be justifiable in absence of IDM solution
- Too much custom development
- Change management in SAP was easy (Transport, testing, QA etc) however Infopath and Frontend change Management was not easy
Let me know what other information you need. Finding BAPI's and designing in SAP is the easy part, you should think more about how you are going to deploy Webservice to end users.
However if your IT department has more bucks to spend, think about more longer term solution and towards IDM or product such as GRC etc.

User management in SAP web AS Java

My company currently has a user management concept in place for BASIS. These concepts follow the segregation of duties principle. So for example a system administrator can grant rights to end-users but he can't change content himself. This concept was put in place to comply with SOX.
Now my company would like the same principles to be implemented in SAP web AS Java. I have searched the forums, blogs and notes, but i can't seem to find some best practices regarding the matter.
As I have difficulties finding these I am wondering if it is perhaps not needed from a SOX point of view, as the web AS Java doesn't directly access content, does this make sense?
Regardless of the SOX point of view I still believe the problem exists because anyone can mess up your portal environment if the user management is not handled correctly. So does sap have some best practices regarding user management in the web AS Java?
Any feedback on these 2 questions would be great!

Hi,
when I hear these types of requirements I always think of IdM. Any IdM (not only from SAP) allows you to easily satisfy all SOX requirements. I understand that implementing IdM solution is not an easy task but you might get additional benefits from it like reduction of service desk calls and so on, not only compliance.

Update/insert/delete data from xcelsius to Database via web service

Hi,
I need to create dashboard that go function can <b>update/insert/delete</b> data send to <u>Database</u> thru <u>web services</u>, as i know got 2 xcelsius add-on software which support those of function <b>InfoBurst</b> and <b>flynet </b>
<b>InfoBurst</b>
http://www.infosol.com/azbocug/minutes/4-Writeback%20to%20a%20Database%20with%20Xcelsius.pdf
<b>flynet </b>
http://www.flynetviewer.com/public/community/Blogs/FlynetXcelsiusServerUser/default.aspx
Except this 2 purchase add-on xcelsius, any other solution ?
Maybe need to write some in MSSQL or C# programming which enable insert, update, delete ...etc ?
*note: i not use Xcelsius Engage Server , i use Xcelsius Engage only
thanks,

Hi,
As of now in Xcelsius/Dashboard Design there is no feature or functionality to insert/update/delete data from database.
Solution:
Create a Web service in let’s say C# or Java, which will perform insert/update/delete operation.
In Xcelsius add Web Service connection and user above web service.
Xcelsius Web Service connection provides option to pass input values to a Web Service (Input Pane) and get the result (Output values pane).
We can pass values to be written to the database as a input to Web Service via Web Service connection from Xcelsius and write data to the database.
Note:
Performing delete operation from Xcelsius Dashboard could be risky and may delete important data from database. I would not prefer giving delete option/functionality in Xcelsius dashboard.
Hope this helps!
Thank you.

Books of business - supported via web services

Are books of business supported in R15 via web services interface? If we create a new Contact, Account or Opportunity, can we associate it to a specific book? I can't find any documentation on this subject.
If not, what's the point of using this functionality? We have over 13,000 different zip code ranges in our territory structure in Oracle 11i CRM, and would like to be able to maintain some sort of parallel structure in OnDemand via web services integration.
Are we stuck with creating Sales Team records for all object types? Seems very cumbersome to have to add a specific user to 100,000 different records, when we could simply assign them to a single book of business and accomplish the same thing.
Thanks,
Scott

Scott, web services will not be supported for book of business in R15. However, I passing this information to our On Demand product marketing. Thanks for the feedback.

http://hostname:81/Orchestrator2012/Orchestrator.svc/ in IE and am getting the same error while creating the connector.
I can connect to orchestrator via http://hostname:81/ but it still gives me the same error when I create the connector (Cannot connect Service Manager with Orchestrator Web Service).
anyone seen it before?

Statemanagement Service API via web services

All,
I have been able to get the state property of a resource (i.e. "In Progress") via the KM web service, but have not been able to change the status to "Awaiting Approval" via a web service (SetProperty does not work as the "state" property is read-only). There are several examples of Java code leveraging the State Management API either via a Repository Service, WD4J, etc., but non of them are via a web service (i.e. callable from ABAP). Can someone please confirm whether or not the State Managment functionality is available via the KM Web Service API's and if so, which method?
Just want to make sure I've exhausted this approach prior to having to embark on creating a Repository Servce.
Thanks,
Chad

Hello,
No idea of using a web service to get it done from ABAP.
But you know any web service which changes the value of any KM Properties via Web Service.

Update key mapping via web service

Hi ,
I have a question about edit key mapping. The problem is that we create vendors in MDM and syndicate them to different ERP systems. To decide which system a new vendor/changes must be send to, I need the Edit Key Mapping, but the users do not want to enter this information manually and I do not see how I can create key mapping automatically.
We are working on a new solution where vendors are entered in sharepoint and updated in MDM via web services. I would like to know if one of you know if key mapping can be maintained via a web service.
Kind regards
Jonna

Hello,
You may use the document,

Executing a Job via Web Services using a Server Group?

When executing a job from Designer or from the Management Console you have the option to select a specific job server or a server group.
But when executing a job via Web Services it uses the first job server with which the repository was associated (i.e. the first job server listed in AL_MACHINE_INFO).
Is there a way to get the job to execute using a server group instead simply choosing the first job server in the list?
Note: We are using FIM to execute the jobs via web services and don't have access to additional parameters.

Joe
Here is the where you can change the server group/job server.
- After you add the Batch/real Time job as a webservice.
- Go to the Webservice Batch Job Attribute and from the drop down choose the "Enable job Attributes" and hit apply.
- After this if you use the WSDL URL http://<Data Services Web Server>:<Web server Port>/DataServices/servlet/webservices?ver=2.0&wsdlxml
- You will see the job attributes that you can change based on the allowed parameters mentioned in the documentation.
The batch job or real time job is published without the job parameters by default. Once you enable the job attributes, remove and re publish the batch job as a web service. The application making the call to this webservice should be able to read the WSDL generated by Data services and pickup all the input and output parameters of the method.
Refer to the Data Services Integrator guide (Chapter 3 : pages 25 - 33 ) to get the exact parameter values permitted via Data Services jobs called via web services.
Hope this helps!
Thanks & Regards

How can I o create, modify or delete users using OIM 11g web services?

Hi,
I have a requirement to create, modify or delete users using OIM 11g web services.
The end users will be signing on to the online application, a user interface to request ids online. The user interface is the home grown application to request ids.
I want to integrate this user interface with OIM 11g. I generated the java classes using the out of the box wsdl file as mentioned in the Developer’s Guide for Oracle Identity Manager 11g. But I need to know how to create users using web server client from a given wsdl file? Is there a sample web service client program to create a user in OIM?
If you know of any document which I can follow or if you can give any details I really appreciate.
Thanks and Regards,
Viraf

Hi Chong,
Were you able to figure out the approach? I am facing the same issue like this. I have created a web service where the input values are no. of days to extend user's end date and user's employee ID. Output will be true or false. But I am getting error while searching user in OIM DB. I think my web service is not to query OIM DB
Please let me know if you have worked on this senario.
Thanks,
Kalpana.

Down-/Upload files via Web Services using a NON-SAP system!?

Hello,
is it possible to down-/upload files via web services using a NON-SAP system!?
Regards,
Jens

Hi Jens,
I am not sure about your requirement here. What i could understand is that you want to check whether service could handle file processing?
1) Uploading file - You can build a Webservice which has import/export parameters as the file structures and implement the proxy class in such a way that the passed data is written to application server.
2) Downloading file - Same as uploading file, but the proxy class would have the code to extract data from the application server and pass them as output parameter.
Functionality of Non SAP system: The system which calls these services should be able to convert the output of proxy data into file in case of downloading the file and it should be able to convert the file data into export parameters in case of uploading file.
Hope this helps.

Prasanna

How to remove user authentication for SAP Web Service?

Hi there,
I am using SAP Web Services in my flex application. Every time wsdl url is called, the username\password window pops up. I want to remove this.
I searched in the forum and based on the discussions, I tried giving the user name password under Web Service Administration using SOAMANAGER, by selecting No Authentication option. But this did not work. I still get that pop up.
I also tried giving the credentials in SICF, under Logon Data tab of the service. This too failed. I kept getting the pop up.
Can someone pls let me know how can I remove this? If username password in mandatory to be passed, I can create a temporary username which will be used to access all of my webservices and use it. But I want to remove this authentication part when I am using the flex application ang calling the web service url from within it.
Appreciate your help.....
-Deepak

Hi,
It is a little bit tricky, because the interface has changed several times in different releases. I know that it is possible without authentification.
I remember that i defined somewhere the default client, the username and password in the ERP system to use by this web service.
Maybe it helps if you try the old transactions WSADMIN, WSCONFIG or WSADMIN2 ?
Sorry that I cannot help you more. I hope it helps.
Best regards,
