Integration with a Reporting Engine Web Service

I want to use a separate reporting engine for my reports. That is, use APEX to perform the filtering and parameter settings and preview the result in APEX. But the final formatted output will use a more complex layout. Sorry, cannot use BI Publisher or PL/PDF (license issues). Other FOP solution isn't sufficient as well because I'm planning to centralized our reports.
I already tried using Jasper Reports (also BIRT and Pentaho,they seem identical to me) Web Service but with no luck. I don't want to invest too much time in learning these tools since I don't know if it will ever work with APEX.
We do have SQL Server 2005 but I'm currently learning its reporting services. I'm a MS Access developer and already have enough of it. Anybody got a suggestion?
Thanks

Hi Mertz,
Well you have to bear in mind that Oracle have made it incredibly simple to integrate APEX with BIP to produce some visually stunning reports that contain data that can be pretty complex.
However...obviously you need to stump up the money for BIP to get that level of ease/functionality.
So, what you're really asking is: is there a way I can produce output just as complex as BIP without the price tag of BIP?
If that's the question the answer is definitely yes, you can use FOP. Anything you can do using BIP (and the BIP Desktop) tool you can do with FOP (or pretty much everything, I haven't found any real big exceptions to the rule).
However, the 'price' you pay with FOP is that it's another layer that you need to learn about (unlike diving into the BIP desktop plugins to design your form). However you do get complete control over the layout of your exports.

Export with crystal reports as web service

In order to create 3 tier architecture for security enhancments, I am using crystal feature to publish report as web service. As far displaying these reports on viewer is concerned, I have got that part working by setting the datasource to asmx and then using the viewer to set the parameters and logon information.
However currently I also have export button on the UI which basically used the ReportDocument and wrote the excel to Http stream. And this is the part where I am now struggling with crystal as web service as it does not expose ReportDocument. I have scanned all forums and have been googling for a while but reaching nowhere.
Please help if someone has already dealt with similar problem.
Thank you.

I don't think you will be able to do this from the button. Reason is that the web service only works with the viewer and there is are no exposed export API associated with the viewer. The only export APIs are based off of the report document object.

SQL 2012 R2 - SSRS with the Report Server Web Service URL, can't access

Hello:
I am installing Dynamics CRM 2013. When I am on RS Configuration manager; I am running into the SSRS (SQL 2012 on Server 2012)SQL issue, can't access the
http://servername/:80/ReportsServer or
http://servername/:Reports web pages
The database server has SSRS native mode installed, it is using a domain account for the service credentials. This account also has permission to log on a service in the GPO
Account is a domain admin and is a local administrator
SQL server is 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012. User base is less than 60 people and they have SharePoint 13 on the same SQL server. Server more than enough resources.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks..Dan

Hi DCas1,
According to your description, you could not access
http://servername/:80/ReportsServer or http://servername/:Reports web pages from Reporting Services configuration manager, SSRS in configured in native mode and the account you used is a local administrator.
In Reporting Services, URLs are used to access the Report Server Web service and Report Manager. Before we can use either application, we need to configure at least one URL each for the Web service and Report Manager. If we are using the Reporting Services
Configuration tool to create or modify the URLs, we can accept the default values for a URL or specify custom values. When we create a report server URL, we must specify the following parts: Host name, port and Virtual directory. In order to improve the efficiency
of troubleshooting, I need to ask several questions:
Since the default URL is http://<computername>/reportserver, did you type the URLs manually? or the URLs configured in Reporting Services configuration manager are
http://servername/:80/ReportServer and
http://servername/:Reports?
Could you provide detailed information of error log(default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles)?
For more information about Configuring a URL, please refer to the following documents:

BMC Remedy Integration with AD using a Web Service

Hi All,
We are running BMC Remedy for ticketing. The goal is to automatically add a computer to a security group once the ticket is approved. So, user raises a ticket with his computer details. The workflow for approval in BMC is already set, once approved the computer
name entered by the user will get added to a Security Group in AD.
We already have built a web service for BMC Remedy for a completely different purpose. My plan is to utilize the same web service in SCORCH. So, SCORCH will check BMC using the WebService and check the state of the new Service Request - Once the state
is approved it will add the computer to that group - Runbooks Basically.
Will the above approach work?

Siebel Integration with Adobe LiveCycle through Web Services

I am new to Adobe LiveCycle and I have very little knowledge in Adobe LiveCycle. What we are planning is to send a PDF from Siebel to Adobe LiveCycle and that should extract the data from PDF and return the data back to Siebel. I think this can be done through Web Services. If anyone has any idea, kindly let me know.
thanks

I am not sure why you need to send a PDF form from Siebel to a LiveCycle ES server-side process, to have LiveCycle send data back to Siebel, when the data came from Siebel in the first place. It is more typical that applications send data to LiveCycle to have the data merged with a form template to render PDF.
Regardless, there are a variety of solutions depending upon your solution requirements, business requirements, infrastructure, client-server preferences, security requirements, etcetera, to do what you are seeking. LiveCycle ES processes expose endpoints to consume data from a variety of protocols and formats, including SOAP, EJB (RMI), email, LiveCycle remoting (for Flex clients), and watched folders.
A solution could be as simple as dropping an XDP-based PDF into a network folder, the PDF would be consumed by LiveCycle, a process extracts the data from the PDF, and a Web Service pushes the data back to Siebel.

Integrating With contentType='text/xml' Web Service

I have a web service that I am attempting to call from a Flex
UI. However, the only acceptable ContentType of the web service is
“text/xml”. Flex only enumerates the values,
"application/xml" or "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" for the
contentType property of the HTTPService object.
Are there any workarounds to make this call successfully?
Example code:
<mx:HTTPService url="
http://localhost/wsman"
method="post" id="wsman" result="ProcResult(event)"
fault="ProcFault(event)">
Options Available:
contentType="application/xml"
contentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Forgot to add the code for poem.xsl
poem.xsl

Hi ,
as per my knowledge.....................
When you create a WSDL with the help of a wizard. In the Integration Directory, choose Tools -> Define Web Service to enter the wizard.
On Propose URL button, as this genertated URL default Point to Entegration Engine.. SO already proformance wise Good.
If You want to Point your URL to adapter engine , use below given URL this will point ur incoming soap message to SOAPadapter sender channel
http://<host>:<j2ee-port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:<service>:<channel>.

Transport Webi Reports and Web services as the backend of dashboards from BO Production to BO Development system

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP BO 4.1. I have made several dashboards on top of web services ie;Web Service Method. I have 2 systems in BO ie; Development and Production Systems.The BW production system is connected to BO Development and Production both.
The Webi reports are made on top of BI BEx Query. From the webi reports, BI Web Services are made on top of which the dashboards are made further.
The Webi Reports, Web Services and the Dashboards everything is made directly in BO Production.
My question is, Can I transport the Webi Reports and the Web Services from BO Production to BO Development?
And If yes, will it have any other impact on webi reports, web services or dashboards?
Thanks & Regards,
Alfred Thomas

Hi Gill,
As per your reply,with the promotion managament i have make the web services again manually in Dev system...Right?

And if yes, through this QAAWS will the WSDL or the URL required for the web services in the connection button in dashboards will automatically updated or changed as per the Development System?
But i am not able to enable the "Deploy to Other servers Option" in QAAWS.
Can you please help?

Report on web service

APEX 4.0.2
Created a RESTful web service with input and output parameters. Created a report region on the web service. It generates a SQL report with the following query
select extractValue(value(t),'/*/op1') "op1"
, extractValue(value(t),'/*/op2') "op2"
from wwv_flow_collections c,
table(xmlsequence(extract(c.xmltype001,'/path/to/output'))) t
where c.collection_name = 'OUTPUT'1. How/when is the web service invoked to populate the collection?
2. How are the input parameter(s) passed to the web service?
Thanks

Hello Vikas,
>> I thought that's exactly what the wizard was supposed to do
You are correct. The question is whether you used the correct wizard.
As I understand it, before you are able to generate a report on your Web Services you need to define them. First you need to create a RESTful Web Service Reference - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/advnc_web_services.htm#CHDDIHEA . Then you should go to the Forms wizard (and not the Report wizard, as I suspect you did) and choose the option of Create Form and Report on Web Service - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/advnc_web_services.htm#BABDDBIB . This wizard allows you to take care of the necessary input items, and also to name the collection to be used for the results ( Temporary Result Set Name ).
I’m no expert on Web Services. I only tried it once, long time ago, so from here on you're on your own :) .

ORA-02263 when creating Report on Web Service Result

Hi,
I'm using Application Express 4.2.1.00.08 and I'm having problems creating a report on web service result.
This is the tutorial I'm using: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e13363/web_serv.htm (yes, I realize it's intended primarily for APEX 3.2).
I am able to create the web service, but when creating a report on web service result, I get the following error in the last step:
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
I have tried creating a report on the same web service result on apex.oracle.com (Application Express 4.2.1.00.08) and I don't get the error, and I am able to create the report.
The same thing happens with another web service, so I'm puzzled.
What could be the problem?
Thank you.

I wasn't able to solve the original problem, but I was able to recreate the process manually, using APEX_WEB_SERVICE.PARSE_RESPONSE function, documented here:http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_web_service.htm#autoId10
Thanks again for your help!

How to publish Report Viewer reports as Web Services

I have some reports templates (.rdlc) having only business objects as data sources (no direct SQL connection). They are working well with Windows Report Viewer. Now I am think to make the reports available via web services to multiple apps. Is there
a way to do that? Any sample?
Thanks,
Jason

Hello,
SQL Server Reporting Services provides access to the full functionality of the report server through the Report Server Web service. In order to meet your requirement, you
can try to converting an .rdlc file to an .rdl file
and then deploy the report to report server.
If you want to rendering the report in your application, you can try to use the ReportViewer controls in remote processing mode.

Reports and Web Services

Is there a way to get system usage reports through web services api?
Where I find some examples?

No, they don't 'need' web services. Xcelsius uses Excel for it's data and you can use web services to load the Excel model with data, but it is not required. CR has a variety of data connection options.
Web services is a popular method of retrieving the most up-to-date data, but is not a requirement.
Hope that helps,
Jake
