How to call OIM API from external app?

Hi,
I have an java application and I would like to call OIM API to accept a request. The application resides in separate server than OIM.
My questions:
*1.* What to do to call OIM API from external application (import any OIM jars etc.)?
*2.* Which method to use, setRequestResponse , closeRequest or any other?
I appreciate any help, thanks.

Hello,
If it is an external client, you need to provide the "login" and "password" details explicitly in the code (something like this), before getting any other Interface control to invoke the OIM APIs -
public class OIMAPIClientTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
System.out.println("Starting...");
ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting config = ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
Hashtable env = config.getAllSettings();
tcUtilityFactory ioUtilityFactory = new tcUtilityFactory(env,"xelsysadm","abcd1234");
System.out.println("Getting utility interfaces...");

How to call Java API from BSP?

I have a requirement to call Java API from BSP application.
I have checked the forum and found that it is possible by using some ABAP codes.
However there is no pointer on how this is done.
Can someone explain the details on how to call Java API from BSP is done?
I found class CL_EJB_JAVA_OBJECT_METHODS to call a method in EJB but can't find function or SAP class to call Java API.
Actually is there any BSP extention which can used to call Java API?
Thanks,
Hendri

check out these weblogs, it should give you an idea how to go about it.

How to call SOAP API from JavaScript

Hi,
I'm trying to call the SOAP API to get statistics about emails. Are there any examples on how to call the API from JavaScript?
Here is a link to my original question about using the REST API. REST API URL for email statistics
Thanks,
Tim

Tim,
In order to consume a SOAP API I recommend you use something other than JavaScript.
Any platform can offer you a good SOAP client should be OK. (.Net, Java, php, Ruby, python).
I didn't see anyone successfully used javascript and consume the Eloqua SOAP API.
I know you can create a SOAP client in Java script but it will be too much work to handle the Eloqua response in some cases.

How to call remote API from root SharePoint 2013 domain (not an app)

I'm trying to follow the article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp179895%28v=office.15%29.aspx
For a SharePoint 2013 hosted under O365, do I need to create an app to use the SP.* methods in sp.js? I need to call a remote API from the root domain (https://mycompany.sharepoint.com). But the app, as mentioned in the article
above, deploys on a whole different URL (https://mycompany-a2d3f4t454.sharepoint.com).
I need to be able to call the API from pages like https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/pages/default.aspx. Is this not possible?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to call remote API from the root domain site.
Yes, you can use SharePoint hosted app to achieve it. SharePoint hosted app has app web and host web, you can create an app to call the remote api in the host web from app web.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

Calling OIM API from a remote system

Hi.
I have OIM 9031 server installed on a computer HostA. And I have multiple copies of the 3rd party java program installed on HostB, HostC and so on.
I need to be able to call some OIM API from that custom java program (for example, receive the list of active users from OIM server).
According to OIM documentation, I can use Remote manager to manage users on non-network awared systems.
But what if I use Remote manager for calling remote OIM API ? Is that possible?
Or are there any easier ways to achieve my goal ?

The installer in the AD sync connector is provided because in addition to having the OIM API client, there is a DLL that needs to be installed and registered to capture the plaintext password. It is not necessary to have an installer, but it might be be a convenience if you are deploying to many machines.
Here is some code to get you started:
import Thor.API.tcUtilityFactory;
import com.thortech.xl.util.config.ConfigurationClient;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
public class TcUtilFactory {
Log log = LogFactory.getLog("OIMCLIENT.UTILITY");
private tcUtilityFactory factory = null;
private Hashtable env = null;
public TcUtilFactory() throws Exception {
// you can also set these system properties on the command line
System.setProperty("XL.HomeDir", "/opt/oimclient);
System.setProperty("java.security.policy", "config/xl.policy");
System.setProperty("log4j.configuration", "config/log.properties");
System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config", "config/auth.conf");
ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting configClient = ConfigurationClient
.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
env = configClient.getAllSettings();
try {
factory = new tcUtilityFactory(env, "xlsysadm", "xelsysadm");
} catch (Exception e) {
// handle exceptions thrown by tcUtilityFactory constructor
From here you can write whatever methods you need going against tcUtilityFactory. Also note that you will need many of the jars from your lib directory as well as the properly configured xl.config and other files in the config directory that the design console client uses (I usually just copy them from that install). Last you will need to make sure you have the required jars specific to you app server (the ones you need to copy over during the design console install)

How to launch processLaunch.jsp from external app.

Hello smart people,
Can an application external to Identity Manager post a request to /idm/processLaunch.jsp/id=workflowName&attributesHere ?
We are able to launch a process from within IDM. For example we have added links to the end user menu that when clicked kickoff workflows. However is it feasable to have an application external to Identity Manager trigger a workflow.
We will need create a connection/session to Identity Manager by
- create a loginInfo object
- create a session
- login to the session
Then we should be able to post a request to /idm/processLaunch.jsp/id=workflowName&attributesHere to trigger the custom workFlow.
The post http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=764&threadID=5164691 makes me think this can be done.
I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer so I thought I'd post the question to get input from you smart people.
Our Installation is IDM 7.1 / Oracle running on a Unix OS.
Any thoughts?

How to Call ScheduleBatch.cmd from External Server

I am attempting to kick off a set of Hyperion Reports after data is loaded to the Essbase. Currently, our data warehouse is loaded and then triggers a bat file which loads Essbase using a MAXL script. I want to add the automatic sending of Hyperion Financial Reports to the end of this process using ScheduleBatch.cmd. I can do this from the reports server but the Bat/Maxl exist on a separate server. Is there a way to call ScheduleBatch.cmd from an external server? If not, is there another way to accomplish this?
Thanks for your help.
Heather

I do something similar, in my environment although I use esscmd.
I first exported the Batch for command line scheduling, which generates an XML file. In my case, I stored the XML in c:\bin\financial_reporting\batch_reports\exported_batch.xml
I then created a bat file that executes the batch (Contents of batch file in italics)
REM START_BATCH_FILE
d:
cd D:\Hyperion\products\biplus\bin
D:\Hyperion\products\biplus\bin\ScheduleBatch C:\bin\financial_reporting\batch_reports\exported_batch.xml <<REPORT_SERVER_HOST_NAME>>
REM END_BATCH_FILE
I created a Scheduled Task on the Reports Server that runs this task, but the task is not enabled.
At the end of my dataload, I initiate a call to the Reporting Server to run the task (Batch file that does dataload and runs the task in italics).
REM DATALOAD.CMD
ESSCMD F:\DataLoads\Scripts\SCR\Load_and_AGG.ESSSCRIPT
C:\WINDOWS\system32\schtasks.exe /run /tn Run_Scheduled_Batch /s <<REPORTING_SERVER>> /u <<DOMAIN>>\<<DOMAIN_USER>> /p <<USER_PASSWORD>>
REM END_DATALOAD.CMD
I don't know if I did anything else to make this work (did this a while ago).
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Dan

CSD_RULE_MATCH_FAILED-calling service request api from oracle apps adapter

We are doing integration between Siebel and Oracle Apps. When a service request is created on Siebel we are passing that in Oracle Apps using Oracle Apps adapter which is calling a custom API which is doing all the validations and in turn is calling a public api for service request creation. There are two types of service requests - Field Service and Depot Repair. For Field Service we are able to successfully insert the data on Oracle Apps, but for Depot Repair we are getting an error 'CSD CSD_RULE_MATCH_FAILED' from the standard API.
We have checked the setup and found it is proper. We invoked the pl/sql API from sql developer and we are able to insert the data. So we are facing this issue only when calling the api from oracle apps adapter.
In the invoke call we have set these properties -
jca.apps.RespApplication
jca.apps.Responsibility
jca.apps.Username
Based on our analysis till now it is looking like a security context setup issue, but we are not really sure what properties to set.
Any help in getting this through will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shantanu

Hi Vijay,
We have created the apps adapter with default settings as 'apps' user and set the properties Responsibility, RespApplication, Username of <invoke>. Other than that no other settings has been changed.
Are we missing anything?
This adapter is able to hit the database in case of 'Field Service' but it is failing for 'Depot Repair'.

How to call Operating System commands / external programs from within APEX

Hi,
Can someone please suggest how to call Operating Systems commands / external programs from within APEX?
E.g. say I need to run a SQL script on a particular database. SQL script, database name, userid & password everything is available in a table in Oracle. I want to build a utility in APEX where by when I click a button APEX should run the following
c:\oracle\bin\sqlplusw.exe userud/password@database @script_name.sql
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Guys,
I have reviewed the option of using scheduler and javascript and they do satisfy my requirements PARTIALLY. Any calls to operating system commands through these features will be made on the server where APEX is installed.
However, here what I am looking at is to call operating systems programs on client machine. For example in my APEX application I have constructed the following strings of commands that needs to be run to execute a change request.
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script1.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script2.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script3.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script4.sql
What I want is to have a button/link on the APEX screen along with these lines so that when I click that link/button this entire line of command gets executed in the same way it would get executed if I copy and paste this command in the command window of windows.
Believe me, if I am able to achieve what I intend to do, it is going to save a lot of our DBAs time and effort.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Pass Principal to EJB from external app

Hello,
I have spent half a day with glassfish v2 trying to find what seems to be trivial information: how do I pass a caller's principal, so that it could be retrieved from EJBContext inside container (by ctx.getCallerPrincipal()).
I know that at least servlet container delegates it behind the scenes. But I need to do this manually from external java app, for ex., from junit tests. Without passing a principal, I am calling EJB without a problem by looking up the initial context with these params:
env.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial", com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory");
env.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost", "hostname");
env.setProperty("org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort", "port");
env.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "url");
I assumed that adding these line will solve the problem:
env.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "uname");
env.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "passw");
Hawever, with these settings the caller's pincipal name inside container is ANONYMOUS.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thank you!

Hi,
of course I did. I guess there is no problem in doing all kind of stuff with app client container. However, the question is, how it is possible to delegate user's principal from external app, like JUNIT test runner?
There is simply no damn information about this! =(
Anyone, please?

Calling Java API from ABAP using JCo (Part 2)

Hello,
This is an additional question to thread Calling Java API from ABAP using JCo
Has anyone managed to get the input parameter value
input.getString("REQUTEXT")
that is being passed from ABAP?
If yes, what kind of setting you need to do? Because when I execute, it has no value.
Thus, the below ECHOTEXT parameter returns blank value:
output.setValue(input.getString("REQUTEXT"),"ECHOTEXT");
When I debug by printing the below line, the input XML is indeed without value:
System.out.println(input.toXML());
Anybody knows how to pass input variable from ABAP to JAVA using JCo?
rgs,
hiroshi

Hallo Hiroshi,
as far as I can see, you are doing it the right way. The problem might be that the ABAP program does not fill in this parameter because something went wrong in the SAP System.
Have you tried setting a breakpoint (an HTTP session - remote breakpoint) and tried checking step by step if the value is being processed and put into the REQUTEXT field?
Bye,
Sameer

How to call oracle function from ejb3

Hi Nilesh,
From the error i think that the error is with the hostname.
Please enter the the Application Server IP/Hostname.
If you are loggin to SAP System "XX1" from SAP GUI. Then click the change Item tab and see Application server name/IP let say "XX2" for hostname or "xx.xx.xx.xx" for IP.
Replace srv[0] = new Server("gateway","sapgw00","JCOSERVER01",repository);
with srv[0] = new Server("XX2","sapgw00","JCOSERVER01",repository);
If App Server is IP then replace with
srv[0] = new Server("xx.xx.xx.xx","sapgw00","JCOSERVER01",repository);
Let me know if it is throwing any error.
Thanks,
Prashil
