Invoke Informatica from Web Serivce Call

I have successfully invoked an Informatica workflow from a Web Service Call (startWorkflow), but I noticed in the PowerCenter Web Services Hub that the web service startWorkflow can take parameter values. Is is possible to pass a more than one parameter value? If parameters are passed through the web service call, is a parameter file needed?

I am facing proxy problem in importing WSDL in PowerCenter Designer(PCD) 9.6.1. I am launching PCD on my Windows client.My Windows client is located behind proxy and joining AD domain.The proxy setting is disabled with our AD domain's default profile.So I've changed my own profiles' proxy setting to use effective proxy server and become able to access Internet. In PCD, I tried to import local WSDL as a source definition and encounterd the error below. FATAL: Error at (file , line 0, char 0 ): An exception occurred! Type:NetAccessorException, Message:Could not connect to the socket for URL 'http://www.w3.org/2001/03/xml.xsd'.Error at (file http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope, line 143, char 52 ): Schema Representation Constraint: Namespace 'http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace' is referenced without <import> declaration.Schema specified in the WSDL is invalid.Failed to parse the content. With packet capturing of my client, I found my client failed to connect to http://www.w3.org.In other word, PCD is not using proxy. I searched this forum and found message 143449.https://community.informatica.com/message/143449The error message is same as I've encounterd.In my case, PCD is failed to connect to Internet site so I guess it's not exactly the same situation.I've done "create a Web Service consumer application connection with relevant NTLM credentials and domain" but it seems to take no effect in PCD. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Invoke Workflow from Web Dynpro for Java Application

I am working on a custom web dynpro for java application and when the user clicks the submit button the SAP standard workflow (WS50000041) should be invoked. Does anyone have experience they can share with me on how to achieve this functionality? It should also be able to attach an adobe form or read data from the form and submit the data as xml.
Thanks,
Ashley

Hi Ashley,
Use following code in RFC to invoke your workflow -
DATA : w_subrc TYPE sy-subrc,
            w_wi_id LIKE swwwihead-wi_id.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW'
        EXPORTING
          task                      = ' WORKFLOW - WSxxxxxx '
          language                  = sy-langu
          do_commit                 = 'X'
        IMPORTING
          return_code               = w_subrc
          workitem_id               = w_wi_id
        TABLES
          input_container           = it_container
          message_lines             = lv_swr_messag
      COMMIT WORK.
With this code your workflow will get start. But u have to use workflow id in next application also in which your request is getting navigated. In that application you have to take this workflow ID and have to pass again in workflow using - PortalNavigation statements.
After that this workflow will get start to publish in your TaskList (My Task) in Portal. Remeber that your all task should be maintained in workflow table by using SWFVISU transaction.
After that go to Portal and Re-Register your UWL so that your new Workflow ID will get usable in portal.
With this way you would be able to use workflow with Web Dynpro Java using UWL and Workflow.

Error invoking esb from web service proxy

I have created a web service proxy (with jdeveloper 10.1.3.2) to invoke my service on the ESB.
When i try to invoke this service with the proxy, the following error message appears:
HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message transmission failure, response code: 500
at oracle.j2ee.ws.client.http.HttpClientTransport.invokeImpl(HttpClientTransport.java:142)

When i take a look in the esb console, there i can see, that the service was invoked, but it is signed with the error symbol (i'm writing data into a database and the lines to the database adapter a green, but the lines back are red. But it writes nothing into the database. If i klick on the test webservice button at the appserver, everything works fine).
Does anybody know the reason why it don't work?
thanks

In the ESB Control you can view the exception that's being thrown, is the PrivilegActionException the only stack trace you have?
Maybe you can have a look if the data that's returned from the db-adapter is interpreted correctly by the ESB? You're working with a Request/Reply ESB so you need to make sure that as well the input as the ouput that's returned by the Routing Service is properly defined.

How to see http response from an axis web service call (Eclipse)

Hello,
I would like to see the raw http response which is returned from web service calls. I have a dynamic web project in Eclipse which uses a local instance of Tomcat 6. I'm using all of the default setting for a top-down web service generated from a WSDL file. I've generated the client using the built-in "generate client" using default settings.
I've tried using the Eclipse plugin TCP/IP monitor and apache's TCPMON, but I am only able to see the http request, not the http response returned from the web server I am querying.
I've seen some sparse documentation outlining how to use logging handlers and a client-config.wsdd file, but I haven't been able to get that working.
So to recap, I'm looking for a way to view raw http responses using a web service client and server generated from a WSDL file in eclipse. I don't mind creating a new project using different code-generating libraries if someone has an easy way to do this using a different configuration.
Thanks very much,
Craig

A simple google query for "apache axis2 http response" also return this article:
http://blogs.cocoondev.org/dims/archives/004668.html
And finally, you did go through the Axis2 website right? It has a wiki with a rather staggering amount of articles in there.

Calling Batch input from Web Dynpro - any alternatives for table updates?

Hi!
I am asked to create a screen in Web Dynpro for the GJ30 transaction (JV Cutback mapping of WBS' elements). I created a remote enabled function module which call batch input for GJ30 . Testing the Function modules direclty goes fine, but not calling the function module from WD. then I get the same error message as when I once tried to call SAP GUI from Web Dynpro ( Call transaction /submit program).
My next step is to try to create a batch input session (instead of call transaction) and run it using rsbdcsub, and then check the result of the run. But maybe this will fail of the same reason as well, and I suppose this will make the user waiting longer for the response .
I read somewhere that Web Dynpro does not support batch Input. But what can you do when there are no standard BAPI's for the update you want to do in SAP ? We are not supposed to do direct table updates.
Anyone who have struggled with the same issues and found a solution??
regards, Tine

Hi,
as BDC is calling screens and in Webdynpro ABAP you cannot use SAP GUI sceeen, you are getting short dump.
Refer CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR in webservices from r/3 system

Trigger File Generation to a Server from Web Dynpro Application

Hi Everybody! Hope you had a good new years eve
Is it possible to generate a File on a Server outgoing from Web Dynpro?
I tried to use GUI_DOWNLOAD. But as I couldn't use the GUI_DOWNLOAD from the Web Dynpro, I wrote a Report "ZCMI_EXPORT_FILE" that generates a Text-File. When I start the Report by myself, the file gets generated. All fine.
To be able to generate the File from Web Dynpro, I created a Batch Input Function Module, that I call in the Web Dynpro. The File is not created and it does not show any errors.
Do you have any idea how i can get this working? I'd also be happy with a different approach.
Best Regards and Thanks,
Steffen

HI,
GUI_DOWNLOAD does not get's executed in the Backgroud.
there is no way to do it as a background job.. create the folder.. transfer the file to the application server in the backgorund using OPEN DATASET... use the tcode CG3Y to download the file from the app server to your folder..

Unable to invoke a protected web service from PL/Sql

Hi All
I am trying to invoke a protected web service from Plsql. But getting the below error.
error message is ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00104: Warning: element "html" is not declared in the DTD
Error at line 2
If i try to invoke the service after disabling the protection then i am able to call it and getting response. Pls let me know how to deal with this authentication issue.
Below is the invoking code i am using.
BEGIN
generate_envelope(p_request, l_envelope);
show_envelope(l_envelope);
l_http_request := UTL_HTTP.begin_request(p_url, 'POST','HTTP/1.0');
UTL_HTTP.set_header(l_http_request, 'Authorization', 'Basic Y29tcGxpYW5jZS5nZW46Y29tcGxpYW5jZQ11');
UTL_HTTP.set_header(l_http_request, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml');
UTL_HTTP.set_header(l_http_request, 'Content-Length', LENGTH(l_envelope));
UTL_HTTP.set_header(l_http_request, 'SOAPAction', p_action);
UTL_HTTP.write_text(l_http_request, l_envelope);
l_http_response := UTL_HTTP.get_response(l_http_request);

show_envelope(l_response.doc.getstringval());
check_fault(l_response);
RETURN l_response;
END;
I tried invoking the service by passing username and password in LDE tool and captured the Request SOAP Message. I saw username/password encrypted to "Y29tcGxpYW5jZS5nZW46Y29tcGxpYW5jZQ11". Hence tried with that.
I have also tried the below line for authentication but it is not working.
utl_http.set_authentication(l_http_request, 'myusername', 'mypassword','Basic',false);
Pls assist me in resolving this.
Thanks,
PKV

One more update i tried printing l_http_response.status_code and got 302.

Configuring SSL to make a HTTPS web Service call from XI

Hi All,
We are making a <b>https web service call</b> using soap adapter from XI. Looking at the various posts and SAP help links, we are configuring SSL for the same.
The procedure given in SAP help has been followed to configure SSL but with no luck. If someone had done this could you please give a <b>step by step procedure</b> to configure SSL, we might have missed out on something.
Also are there are <b>any other settings apart from SSL</b> to be done to make a https web service call using soap adapter from XI.

Can anybody suggest a means of making SOAP Web Service calls from an 8.1.7.4 database ?I think you'll be very lucky to find anyone here who still has access to a version of Oracle that is that old....

Web service call from PDF

Hi All,
I need your help as i got an assignment where i suppose to call web service from PDF.
I do have Adobe live cycle server environment along with me.
I have created an sample orchestration in workbench where it does the some calculation and i use it as web service in PDF.
I have followed the below procedure to call web service in pdf using designer
1. Go to file
2. Click on the new data connection
3. then WSDL url
and complete the rest of procedure.
When i click on the invoke button web service get call it prompt me for username and password and pdf works fine
I dont want my web service to pop up any username and password when i click invoke button so i should embbed some certificates in pdf i guess.
How do i achieve it?
Guys do reply thanks in advance....

Few more question related to web service call
1. Is it free Adobe reader will not call a web service?
        Answer: If you are using Adobe Reader, you need to apply Usage Rights (through Reader Extensions) to invoke any web service.
2. If i am trying for third party web service which may be having username and password then how do i call web service from reader without prompting username and pwd?
     Answer: With a little tweak, you can do this if you know the username and password for the external web service.
Create a LC process and invoke the external web service from it. In the WebService activity, you can mention the required username and password.
Now, invoke the LC process through SOAP from your PDF. This option will work without prompting the user with Login dialog.
Please note that if you don't set appropriate permission to invoke the LC process, it will still show you up a dialog to authenticate in order to invoke the LC process.
3. Is there any javascript available to call web service which required credentials?
      Answer: Yes, you can write JavaScript to invoke the web service with the supplied credential in the code.
The API reference link is mentioned below.
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_r eference.pdf
Go through the SOAP methods; you will find a request object which encapsules the oAuthenticate parameter where you can mention the username and password.
4. How do i open wsdl file in live cycle workbench?
    Answer: You can open the WSDL through a WebService activity. Drag an Web Service activity into a process and click on configure button. The first textbox is the WSDL URL field. Enter the WSDL URL and click load. You will find the WSDl content in the large text area.

Invoking Webcenter sites web services from SoapUI

Hi,
I want to invoke the OOTB web services of WCS from soap UI.
I have installed the soap UI and trying to create a new project. I entered the WCS web service URL "http://localhost:8080/cs/REST/types" in the create new project pop up in soapUI.
On hitting OK button, I am getting the following error:
Error loading [http://localhost:7001/cs/REST/types]: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: does not close tag
If I use the same URL in IE browser, I am redirected to the CAS login page, and upon entering the credentials for WCS site, I am shown the XML result
I think I am not able to figure out how to pass WCS site credentials from soapUI. Please help.

It is not a simple case of appending or posting credentials to the REST call, you first need to get a ticket, then a service ticket, then you can make the rest call with your service ticket. You can find a description of the sequence of http calls here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29542_01/doc.1111/e29634/wemsecurity.htm#autoId2
I am not very familiar with soapUI to describe exactly how to create this as a continuous and automatic sequence of steps but it seems you can do it within a generic project with a TestCase, containing two HttpRequest TestSteps, one to get the ticket, one to get the service ticket.
The first TestStep needs to post "username" and "password" params to http://{host}:{port}/cas/v1/tickets, with the postQueryString box checked. The response contains the TGT (ticket granting ticket), which you can extract and store as a variable using an assertion with a script (see here). The response looks like this
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Location: http://celovmfw010.us.oracle.com:8080/cas/v1/tickets/TGT-20-EokDucPIpGduAfbazhmK7cDTPJ2ZZeaNH07AyazZ4eFOcCJbMP-cas-celovmfw010.us.oracle.com-1
Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Date: Tue, 04 Feb 2014 02:53:46 GMT
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"><html><head><title>201 The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created</title></head><body><h1>TGT Created</h1><form action="http://celovmfw010.us.oracle.com:8080/cas/v1/tickets/TGT-20-EokDucPIpGduAfbazhmK7cDTPJ2ZZeaNH07AyazZ4eFOcCJbMP-cas-celovmfw010.us.oracle.com-1" method="POST">Service:<input type="text" name="service" value=""><br><input type="submit" value="Submit"></form></body></html>
The second TestStep then posts "service" param to http://{host}:{port}/cas/v1/tickets/{your_TGT}. The response contains the ST (service ticket), which you can extract with another assertion.
Then you can make the REST call http://{host}:{port}/cs/REST/types?ticket={your_ST}

As far as I know, BAdI's are user-exits in ABAP and are not exposed, so you cannot call these from the outside.
Perhaps you meant BAPI, which can be called via RFC. There are lots of examples on this topic on SDN. Just do a search and you'll find your answer.

Web Service receives no data from Stored Procedure call.

Issue: When calling a Stored Procedure from a Web Service no data is returned.
Lead up: I can call the SP 100 times a day for 3-4 days then for some reason the Web Service no longer get the data from SQL. I have ran a trace and I can see the SP running though all of its steps and returning the data, but the Web Service
is not getting it.
Fix: None yet.
Work around: Before the Web Service calls the SP, I am sending an SP_Recompile to the SP in question. For now this seems to have resolved the issue.
Detail:
1. SP is querying data from another DB on the same server.
2. SP is storing query data in Temp Tables.

Hello,
Does your Stored Procedure have parameters? If so, the issue may be cause by parameter sniffing. Please refer to the following blog about Paraemeter Sniffing:
http://www.sommarskog.se/query-plan-mysteries.html
The recommended fix for most situations is to not use parameters directly in queries, but rather store them into local variables and then use those variables in the queries.

Invoking a SAP web service from Dreamweaver MX

I am trying to invoke a SAP web service from ColdFusion and it looks like ColdFusion does not even recognize the rfc generated wsdl file as a wsld file. I have tried other wsdl url's outside my company and they work...so I know that web services at least work in ColdFusion. Can anyone advise on this topic?
Thanks!

Paula,
I suppose you're using CFINVOKE (http://www.activsoftware.com/code_samples/code.cfm/CodeID/44/ColdFusion/Invoking_SOAP_Web_Services_with_ColdFusion_MX_CFINVOKE_Tag) or are you using a third party tool like CFX_SOAP (http://www.activsoftware.com/products/productdetail.cfm/id/1015)?
Are you working with WebAS 6.4 or 6.2?
It works with web services created with WebAS 6.4, but you should generate proxy classes. Check Thomas' weblog (second part of it)->https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1012. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
The WSDL generated by this method is more standard than the one generated when you just Remote enable an FM and look at the webservice browser.
Th core of CF MX is Java and that engine is rather strict in standards.
