Guided Procedures, retrieving data from services
Hi,
I'm making a Guided Procedure that starts from an Adobe Form, goes to a Visual Composer component and then to a final Web Dynpro component.
VC will give two values, MATNR and KUNNR and use these two to retrieve information from the ERP to fill in the information for the Web Dynpro "Visual Approval" Callable Object.
I've got two Actions that go to our ERP to retrieve data, but it doesn't seem to do anything ...
In the block I've got the parameters set so that VC will give the two parameters. In result states, VC points to the Web Dynpro for the decision. If I let it point to a service the flow just stops ...
Now when I run, and click the button, my Web Dynpro won't be filled with information ... (which is the problem).
Cheers
Frederik-Jan
I tested both services and both return data. I've tried adding all the information as defaults, but still doesn't work. I think I'm missing something to connect the two actions that call the service. Are there extra settings I need to configure to make sure the fourth AC calls the former two (both are services).
I'm not calling them anywhere now ... Here's a screenshot to clarify:

How to retrieve data from a web service
Hi
i am at very beginner level about web services.
I am searching for a simple example of retrieving data from a web services, but cant find.
How can i get xml data from a web service. i dont need to develop the web service it is already ready, i just need how could i fetch data from it.
Can somebody point out or give an example?
Thanks in advanceHi,
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

We are in the process of migrating from BPC7 SP12 Microsoft sql server to BPC10 netweaver on a sql server with BW7.4 and need to integrate our home grown data warehouse which is on a Microsoft sql server. The data warehouse currently connects to BPC7 using integration services/analysis services and runs mdx queries to analysis services to retrieve data from the BPC7 cube (view only). Please provide documentation on how to create this same integration with our data warehouse using BPC10 netweaver on a sql server.
When you were setting up your ODBC data source for
the Text driver, did you click on the "Options"
button? There's a lot of options in there that I
didn't understand at first glance.Yes I clicked on the options button, but the only thing there is dealing with file extensions. I left it set to the default.
I have since tried closing my connection after I insert a record, I then try executeQuery, but still no luck. Seems strange that I can write to the file but not read from it. If any thing I'd expect the opposite problem.
I have also tried using the class "JoltReport" from the sun tutorial instead of my own with the same result.

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.Post Author: Mike Wright

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.

SP 2013 Designer Workflow problems retrieving data from Web Service
Hi all,
I am creating a SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow, and I am having trouble retrieving data from a web service. The web service URL is
http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers and the problem I am having is with the SharePoint Designer Workflow “Call HTTP Web Service” action URL. The URL I am
having problems with is shown below:
http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers('[%Current Item:Customer ID%]')?$format=json&$select=CustomerID,CompanyName,ContactName,ContactTitle,Address,City,PostalCode,Country,Phone,Fax
or
http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers('[%Current Item:Customer ID%]')?$select=CustomerID,CompanyName,ContactName,ContactTitle,Address,City,PostalCode,Country,Phone,Fax&$format=json
The SharePoint 2013 Designer workflow works OK if I try to retrieve two items like "CompanyName" and "ContactName", but when I try to retrieve three or more items the workflow doesn’t work it just pauses
with no error message. The URL that works OK is shown below:
http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers('[%Current Item:Customer ID%]')?$format=json&$select=CompanyName,ContactName
or
http://services.odata.org/V2/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers('[%Current Item:Customer ID%]')?$select=CompanyName,ContactName&$format=json
Does anyone know why I cannot retrieve more than two items from a web server? Am I making a mistake with the URL?
I hope you can

hi experts!
How can I retrieve data from Adobe Interactive form? is it only through Guided Procedures we can get data?
My requirement is to get data from an Offline interactive form. Please give some idea regarding.
nikhiLHello Nikil,
GP is mainly suitable for offline adobe forms.
As you know, its very simple to read the data from an Adobe interactive form too.
The outline of this process is as below.
1) You can create an interface in SFP with the necessary data types and data elements that you need for your scenario.
2) Use this interface and create an Adobe interactive form in SFP itself.
3) When creating the form, u'll be asked to enter the interface name for the form. give the name of the interface.
4) Once the Adobe livecycle designed opens, you;ll find all the data elements appearing on the dataview of the designer. just drag and drop all the components are per your need.
5) give a submit button with the URL to submit it back to the GP process using %..(.....postprocessorURL...).%
6) Save and activate. Now you can take the XML code from the XML tab and paste it in a note pad and save it as an XDP file.
6) Use this XDP file for creating the CO of type Interactive form and choose the template for XDP file.
7) Choose the option for offline mode and send mail option in the CO creation.
8) include it in the process as needed.
9) The data from the form can be read from parameters of the CO. You can see this in the Parameters tab for the process.
10) Do the mapping as needed and then you can pass the value to the next step.
Let me know if you need more info.

Retrieve data from a synonym in oracle database through db connect
Hi Everyone,
I have created certain synonym for some tables in oracle. I want to retrieve data from it through db connect but where through source system and then selecting database tables, only tables and views are available.
Synonyms are not available to create data sources and retrieve the data from it. Why is it so. Is this a limitation of db connect.
Can anyone please let me know about it.
Thanks,
Joshua.Hi,
You want to import data from an external Oracle database into your BW 3.X. To do this, you can connect the external database to the BW 3.X release as a source system using the external database connect. BW 3.X here represents BW 3.0, BW 3.1 and BW 3.5 because in other (DB relevant) parts, all 3 versions are based on the same source code.
General information
The above function allows you to load data from an external Oracle database (not a BW database) into your BW 3.0 system.
There may also be constellations which cannot be used directly through the DB Connect access. However, it should be possible to find an adequate, customer-specific solution for most of these scenarios.
In such situations, the resulting work falls into the area of Consulting and cannot be handled via Support.
Successful implementation of a connection requires corresponding expertise and experience in the use of the source database in the areas:
- Tools
- SQL syntax
- DB-specific functions
Corresponding knowledge of the source application is also required to ensure that semantically relevant data arrives in the BW system.
Procedure
You should execute the following steps to connect the source system (Q) to the BW system (BW):
Installing the client software on an BW application server
Of course, you only need to install the client software if you are using BW with a non-Oracle database.
Use the Oracle setup program on the database CD (runInstaller on Unix) to start the OracleInstaller. Follow the program instructions and the DB installation instructions to install the Oracle Client software on BW.
Testing connection setup from BW to Q
After you install the client software on BW, try to set up a connection from BW to the server on Q. You may need to adjust the tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora files for this, to introduce the Oracle systems (to which contact should be made) to BW. You can test the connection by executing the command "tnsping QDB" on BW to check whether the client has established contact to the QDB database on the Q system.
Creating a separate U user in Q
We recommend that you create a separate U user in Q for connection to BW. This means that authorization and administration questions can be solved centrally.
Displaying data sources in Q for the U user
To provide U data for users other than U, you can create views on other user tables as user U:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewname AS
SELECT * FROM QDB.tablename
You may have to grant SELECT privileges to user U in the QDB schema:
GRANT select ON QDB.tablename TO U
Of course, you can also restrict or reformat data in the view arrangement (for example, change from internal date format into the SAP date format). JOIN operations using several tables are also available.
!!! Synonyms do not yet work!!!
Synonyms that you can create as described below are another option for providing a complete table for the user U:
CREATE SYNONYM synoname FOR QDB.tablename
!!! Synonyms do not (yet) work!!!
After you have displayed the require data for user U, you can simply use
SELECT * FROM <view or table>
on the Q system to check which data is returned.
You can now open a link to Q as user U in the BW system with SQLPLUS and check, using the same SELECT, whether this data is also seen in the Oracle client. If this is not the case, there is probably a connection problem.
Creating a connection from BW to Q in BW
Including data sources of user U user in Q in BW.
Solution
Supported BW, Basis and BW 3.0B database versions, Basis 6.20 Support Package 2 (or higher)
Oracle 8.1 (or higher, see below)
Possible problems
- Synonyms do not (yet) work!
Up to now, only tables and views have been used as data sources for the DB Connect from the R3 Basis. As soon as synonyms are also used in the Basis, you will be able to convert created views (or even replicated tables) to synonyms as a workaround.
With Basis 6.40 at the earliest, therefore as of BW 3.5, you will also be able to use synonyms. Until then, the following will help:
CREATE VIEW <view_on_synonym> AS SELECT * FROM <synonym>
- The source DB must have at least the release version of the BW DB.
Oracle only ensures the support of client-server links if the version of the client is not higher than that of the server. So if BW has Oracle version 8.1 and, as in the case of Dbconnect, is run as a client against the server of the source database, the source database must have at least release Oracle 8.1 or higher.
Of course, you have the option to install the Oracle client software of a lower version and then use this for the DB connect. This is also the procedure used to work with a DB connect on external databases of other vendors.
Furthermore, the implementation of the DBconnect function in BW uses SAP Basis functions. Specifications of Oracle 8.1 database catalogs are used here. The source database must therefore have at least Version 8.1.
- Oracle Client Software Version
If you want to connect from an Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, for the DB connect you naturally use the client software that you already installed on each application server.
If you want to connect from a non-Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, check item 3 of note 521230 to see which Oracle client software version is released with your BW R3 kernel and use this version.
- Date and time fields in Oracle and their conversion into SAP-compatible column formats
Example with a DATE field:
Since a SAP table does not have a DATE field (date values are NUMC(8) and time specifications are NUMC(6)), we will use the Oracle DBA_TABLES system table as an example.
SQL> desc dba_tables;
The Oracle DBA_TABLES system table has a LAST_ANALYZED field. This is a DATE type field and is recognized as a date field of 7 characters by DBA_CONNECT. However, the import does not work because the DATE is a 7-byte conglomerate of "...century, year, month, date, hour, minute and second." (extract from the Oracle documentation).
To make this DATE field legible for DB connect, you must use the TO_CHAR function in a VIEW. This should display the following examples:
SQL> select LAST_ANALYZED from dba_tables
where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The formatting used here is the default used implicitly by SQLPLUS.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'YYYYMMDD') as dat from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format YYYYMMDD and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a date.
SQL> select to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'HH24MISS') as tim from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
The result now has the SAP compatible format HHMMSS and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a time.
You can use the following example for more detailed experiments:
SQL> select to_char(
TO_DATE('03-FEB-2001 04:05:06','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
'YY-MM-DD HH24-MI-SS') as datim from dual;
with the result:
DATIM
01-02-03 04-05-06
When you create a VIEW and use the TO_CHAR function (or other functions), you should easily be able to avoid problems with the interpretation of date/time specifications (and other reformatting).
Details about the functions and the formats are contained in the Oracle documentation.
- Special characters
A words that contain special characters can only be imported correctly if the code pages in BW and in the source system are identical. If the code pages are not the same, DB Connect can be used if the characters to be imported appear under the first 127 characters of the character set.
The use of multibyte code pages in the source system for saving data using character sets with more than 256 characters (Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, Korean, Chinese, Tagalog, Khmer, Arabic, Cherokee, and so on) can cause the characters to become corrupt.
For questions concerning the code pages, also refer to the FAQ note 606359 and question/answer 19 that appears there. -

Currently we are on 8.51.10 Tools...
If there is any better way .. please let me know ..I have used HTTP Get to get XML file from a government sanction list by hitting URL http://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/sdn.xml
There is a delivered PS program that does that for vendor sanctions. I had to get the online setup correctly by creating a new custom Node with HTTP Target Connector. The program name is BSP_IMPORT. The below code is responsible for the calling the node and retrieving the data. Play around with the code below see if you can get it to meet your needs.
BSP_IMPORT_AET.BANKNODE.Value is just the custom external code that I created.
PMT_FLAT_FILE_INBOUND message is just a none rowset based message to use the web service call.

Retrieving data from a BW Query runs endlessly in Crystal
Hi,
I have installed Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 with SAP BO Integration Kit 3.1. When I create a new file from a SAP BW 7 Query I everything works fine (field selction etc) until I run it and try to extract data from the database. I can enter the parameters and enter the login data for the BW connection. After that I can see the entry "retrieving data from the database" in the status bar and that's it. The screen kind of freezes and I don't get any result. I can wait for 2 hrs no result. In the end I cannot even get back to screen. I have to close it through taskmanager.
I have tested the query with transaction RSRT and the same parameter value I chose in Crystal reports and there I get a result. Therefore the entry values should be fine.
Did I install anything wrong, did somebody encounter this problem as well?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help provided
Kind Regards,
MelanieHi,
I entered the SQL statement in transaction MDXTest but it is running since 7 minutes.
>> Transaction MDXTEST has an option to generate a test sequence and is not there to test SQL statements. You need to enter a valid MDX statement.
Function module "/Crystal/MDX_GET_STREAM_INFO" not found
>> then I would suggest you make sure that all the Transports from the SAP Integration Kit have been properly imported - see the Installation Guide for the SAP Integration Kit for details.

Error while retrieving data from PL/SQL Table using SELECT st. (Urgent!!!)
Hi Friends,
I am using Oracle 8.1.6 Server, & facing problems while retrieving data from a PL/SQL Table:
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE test_proc IS
TYPE tP2 is TABLE of varchar2(10); --declared a collection
dt2 tP2 := tP2('a','b','c');
i NUMBER(8);
begin
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST(dt2 as tP2));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);
end;
While executing the above procedure, I encountered foll. error:
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [pfrrun.c:pfrbnd1()], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [0]
Can anyone please help me, where the problem is??
Is it Possible to retrieve data from PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement? & How ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Jay Raval.Thanks Roger for the Update.
It means that have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE in database then only I can fire a Select statement on that TYPE.
Actually I wanted to fire a Select statement on the TABLE TYPE, defined & declared in PLSQL stored procedure using DECLARE TYPE .. TABLE & not using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE.
I was eager to know this, because my organization is reluctant in using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE defined in the database, so I was looking out for another alternative to access PL/SQL TABLE using Select statement without defining it database. It would have been good if I could access a PLSQL TABLE using Select statement Declared locally in the stored procedure.
Can I summarize that to access a PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement, I have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE?
If someone have any other idea on this, please do let me know.
Thanks a lot for all help.
Best Regards,
Jay Raval.
You have to define a database type...
create type tP2 is table of varchar2(10)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_PROC
IS
dt2 tP2 := tP2('a','b','c');
i NUMBER(8);
begin
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST (dt2 AS tP2));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);
end;
This will work.

I have set-up an ECT in SPD2013 on SP2013. It is a SQL Data source called ProjectWebApp. I have BCS/SSS set-up. I can create an ECT OK in SPD. I can add the ECT to a custom list.
The problem is when I add a new item in the list the following error message appears in red
An error occurred while retrieving data from ProjectWebApp. Administrators, see the server log for more information
I cannot filter or return any results. There is data in the DB.
Another test I do is to try and create a new App/List using the "External List" template. When
I select the ECT a red message appears "External Content Types are not available". which is odd since I can add an ECT to a list as mentioned above.
Any ideas?

Crystal Reports - Failed to retrieve data from the database
Hi There,
I'm hoping that somebody can help me.
I've developed a crystal report from a stored procedure which I wrote. I can execute the stored procedure within SQL Server and within the Crystal Reports designer without any errors. Furthermore, I have imported the report into sap and can run it within SAP from the server without any errors. SAP version 8.81 PL5
The issue is that when it's run from a client machine, I get the following error: "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: Database Vendor Code: 156. Error in the File RCR10010 {tempfile location}
Here's a list of things which I have tried, all to no avail:
- Checked user permissions to ensure that they have proper authorizations
- Re-set the datasource connection and re-imported the report to SAP.
- Exported the report and reviewed the datasource connection and re-imported to SAP.
- Tried to run the report on multiple machines to ensure that it's not machine specific
- Tried to run the report using different users to ensure it's not user specific.
- Tested other reports built from stored procedures on client machines to ensure that they work.
Any assistance in this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank youAfter further testing, we found that the report could be run within SAP on any work station which had the CR designer installed on it.
As it turns out, the procedure which I wrote has temp tables in it. The runtimes built into the SAP client install do not support creating temp tables when executing the report from within SAP. Which is why the report could not retreive data.
To work around this, I installed external runtimes which were the same version of the Crystal Report and now the report can be run within SAP from any workstation which has the external runtimes (and not just the runtimes within the SAP client).
I hope this makes sense. -
Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP B1
Hello friends,
I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report, it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Keyur Raval.I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.
