How to use web service as data source for forge or endeca ?

hi,
is there any way to use webservice as data source in pipeline ?
i have requirment to get data from web service and dump it in endeca. for this i need some idea on how can be this achieved. is it possible to do so?

Crawling is part of the CAS, which is kind of the data ingest process in Endeca as you would know. There are a bunch of OOTB Crawlers available like FileSystem based, XML Crawlers, etc., and there could be a case where you have to write your own and thats what I am suggesting because the XML crawl thats OOTB expects a specific format which isnt really mentioned in the Documentation. Please refer to CASDevGuide for more information. CAS, PlatformServices and ToolsAndFrameworks should be running when you start off with Endeca, you can see that from
ps -ef | grep java
on your machine

Using Web Service a Data Source for my Report

Hi All,
I'm trying to use a Web service as a PDS for my Oracle9ias reports.
I have a few questions on this.
1) Can the webservice Return a Complex data type e.g java.util.Vector? If Yes, How does the report extract data frm the Vecor?
2) If the first option isn't feasible, Can I go for a array of objects as return values provided those objects are serializable?Again how would the report extract data from array of objects?
3) OR is it advisable to go for Document style web service that returns me an XML document?
Regards,
Ritesh

hi,
what do do you mean by that???
i hope i helped....

Report that uses web services as data source, prompts for database logon

I have a crystal report that uses web services as a data source. When I deploy the report to Infoview it prompts me for a database username and password. Since I am not using a database it should not prompt me for these. I tried various options in the CMC->database settings for this report but it still prompts me for the database logon info or tells me that the database logon information is incorrect.
The report work fine in the Crystal Reports Designer.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this report from prompting me for the database logon info ?
Thanks,

What options have you tried in the CMC?
Have you tried running the report in Crystal Reports installed directly on the Enterprise machine?

Using Web Service as Data source (Pluggable Data Source) in Oracle Reports

Anyone using Webservice as a pluggable data source in oracle 10g reports.(Report builder version:10.1.2.0.2)? We need to be able to use web service as one of the data source to create reports.Tried the following and ran into issues:
Imported the wspds.jar fle from oracle plugin exchage. When tried using it received the following error in oracle reports trace file.
04/26 22:27:22 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDBuilder.build([Loracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLDocument;Ljava/net/URL;)Ljava/lang/Object;
By troubleshooting issue found out that xmlparserv2.jar in 10g is newer than xmlparserv2.jar in 9i. wspds.jar is using xmlparserv2.jar in 9i as it was developed and tested for 9i only. Believe there is no newer wspds.jar file developed specifically for 10g?
Is there a better/standard solution to use webservice as data source in oracle 10g reports? Does later version of oracle reports supports webservice as a data source without any additional plugins? Any suggestion would be helpful.

Please provide support for the above request.
It appears that Oracle 10g reports doesn't support Web Service as pluggable data source. Is this option is available in Oracle 11g Reports or Oracle Discoverer Or OBIEE?

How to use web service consumer as a source to connect to Salesforce?

I see a lot of articles and mapping xmls on how to use web service consumer but as a newbie I am not able to view the object schema from my salesforce enterprise WSDL after importing it in Informatica designer as a source. My enterprise wsdl has operations like create, retrieve, upsert, delete etc so if I want to read data from account then could someone guide me on how to use the web service consumer to view the fields after importing the wsdl. After importing the wsdl and selecting the operation say create, the columns (ports) displayed shows different groups but it doesn't list the object fields? what am I missing here? And what is the operation to read data from Salesforce is it "retrieve" from the entripse wsdl? As a newbie on this, I appreciate any inputs on this topic.

Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
You have 3 options to achieve it:
1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

How to use web services in JSF app

I am unsure if this is the right forum for this question. Let me know if it is not - and where I should go.
Anyways, I'm building a JSF web app, in which there is a datatable page displaying some business data. The app is going to be deployed and run in the customer's web server, but the data to be displayed is from the business solution provider's database. Currently the provider supplies web services to retrieve the data. So, my task is to call these web services from my JSF page, get and display the data.
I've never used web services before. Can someone give me a quick start, as what I need to know to use these web services, and how to use them in coding terms. I googled the web quite a bit and finally decided to turn to SDN forum.
Thanks!

You call webservice by clicking. You call webservice visually.

Web services as a sources for ODI

Hi All,
I am facing a problem related to ODI. I want to use web service as source for ODI.
Basically I have build one simple web service which gives system date through Jdeveloper and with OC4J connection. Now I want to use this web service as a source and want to insert this system date (which I will get through this web service) in oracle database. Could you please guide me.
I tell you what I did till now.
1. Developed simple web service through Jdeveloper.
2. Deploy it using OCJ4 connection using Jdeveloper only.
I did some research and came to know about axis2. I installed it but not able to start it properly. As per best of my knowledge we have to use axis2 as web service container and we can take OC4J or Tomcat.
So I want to know how can I install (configure) Axis2 properly and can use my webservice developed through Jdeveloper as a source of ODI.
I gone through documentation of ODI but as I am completely new for JAVA I can not figure it out properly.
Request you to explain each step thoroughly as I am new to Java.
Thanks and Regards
-Pallav

The below link gives detailed information about installing axis2. I used this for installing axis2 on my oracle app server.

Can Discoverer be used as an XML Data source for XMLP ?

I am wondering if Discoverer can generate an XML Data Source for XMPL.
I have heard that Discoverer Viewer can have XML as an output. Is there a way of using this XML output with XMLP and, if yes, how to batch both steps ?

Hi
My understanding is that Discoverer does not generate XML data as an ouput that XMLP can consume. The XML is does generate is actually an XML RDF for Oracle Reports.
XMLP is integrated thou, when you export your Disco report to PDF thats XMLP doing the conversion to PDF for you.

Can we use REST web service as Data source in SSRS? !!!!NOT SOAP!!!!

Hello,
We have requirement to use the REST web service as the Data source of SSRS. Tried with XML as Data Source, but unfortunately I could not succeed because the query expects SOAPAction which is not available in REST Service.
Do we have any option to use REST Service, if so please provide some basic example, so that I can try out some options.
If not, do we have any alternate solutions to handle these situations?
Thanks!
Vinay

Hi Vinay.
After looking on it for some time, I am afraid currently there is no document to talk on how to use the REST web service as a data source.
You can use the link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa964129(v=SQL.90).aspx for a renference.
From a support perspective currently this is really beyond what we can do here in the forums. If you cannot determine your answer here or on your own, consider opening a
support case with us. Visit this link to see the various support options that are available to better meet your needs: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=fh;en-us;offerprophone
