OBIEE Web Services into APEX

I am trying to get an OBIEE web service to be presented on an APEX report.
The first step is to create the Web Service reference and can be done using an Apex wizard. However, when I use the address http://xxx/analytics/saw.dll?wsdl I get an error saying the WSDL document was unretrievable. I can open the document directly in IE, OBIEE and Apex are on the same server and I am not using SSL.
Has anyone experinced this before?
Adrian

Are you using hostname or the ip in the URL. I am wondering whether APEX is actually able to ping the server. Try using this http://ip/analytics/saw.dll?WSDL. Also, just remember that we cannot use OBI EE SOAP APIs directly within APEX since OBI EE SOAP APIs has multiple SOAP bindings. It will give you an error right in the next step. BI Publisher APIs will work just fine since it has only one SOAP binding but not OBI EE. I just typed this on my blog to your query there :-).

Obiee web services into xcelsius

Hi all
Have anyone tried consuming obiee through Xcelsius webservice
Thanks

Reddi, I have connected Xcelsius to OBIEE web services. It's the best of two worlds: superior obiee admin and web services performance and complete control over data visualization. See this post for details and code: http://www.bihappyblog.com/2011/05/15/connect-xcelsius-dashboard-to-obiee/

Can I deploy web service on APEX server

I have APEX 3.1.2 on 11g database.
I need to pull data from other oracle 9i databases into APEX application. I have created web service on my pl/sql package to pull data from 9i databases and deployed service on my local oc4j instance (within jdeveloper). My APEX app pull data from multiple oracle 9i database. Now I need to move my web service to my dev/test environment.
Can I deploy web service on APEX server? or do I need to deploy on another web server?
I know I can easily pull the data from other oracle 9i databases using DB link. I want to explore Web services option to just to see is it possible to pull data from multiple sources into APEX app using web service running from APEX server?.
Any help on this will be appreciated.

I am in the same situation. Consuming a web service is easy with APEX. But publishing one needs a web server that is more complex than the one that comes with APEX for free.
I am exploring the possibility of building the web service in Jdeveloper as you have. Then I will make a WAR file that I will publish to an apache tomcat J2EE server that another department runs. I believe it will work since all the components required should be in the WAR file.
I am new at this. I will let you know how it works out.
The other possibility is to upgrade the appserver to the full Oracle Fusion server (maybe). This may be expensive and be too much for just a simple web service. But then the publish to application server from jdeveloper is super easy.

Get xml data from a web service into Forms?

Hello folks! I am reading active directory info from a web service into forms via imported java classes. I can read from functions that return strings just fine, but I have to get the output from getGroupUsers which returns an XmlDataDocument. How do I read this in and parse it in Forms?
I will be grateful if y'all could point me to an example.
Thank you,
Gary
P.S. Here is a snippet of how I get the full name by passing an ID:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := ADSoapClient.new;
rv := ADSoapClient.getUserName(jo, 'user_ID');
:block3.fullname := rv;

Hello,
Since you are already dealing with server-side JAVA, I would suggest you create a method that would do the parsing server-side and what your PL/SQL will be dealing with is just the return string.
Here is a method I use to read an XML file (actually, it is an Oracle Reports file converted to XML) and from the string version, I will do search, replace and other things.
So, from getGroupUsers which returns an XmlDataDocument, you can adapt this method to get your data server-side and let the form module read the output data.
<blockquote>
private String processFileXml(String fileName, int iFile) throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXException,
IOException, XPathExpressionException{
try{
DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
domFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(fileName));
DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(inputStream);
StringWriter stw = new StringWriter();
Transformer serializer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
serializer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(stw));
return stw.toString();
catch (Exception e){
System.err.println(e);
System.exit(0);
return "OK";
</blockquote>
Let me know if this is of nay help.
Thanks.

Develop Web Services in APEX

Hi,
I'm just getting started and i need to know what is the best way to develop an web service in apex ou expose functionality as such. Is this possible or do i have to buy some product to do this? If so, which one?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Pedro

Hello Pedro,
If you want to develop a web service, APEX is not the first choice. You should better go for JDeveloper (also free).
APEX is perfect for consuming web services though...

Web Service in Apex

Hi
I'm using APEX 2.1.0, OracleXE 10.2, Oracle SOA 10.1.3, Jdev 10.1.3.3
I've created a webservice in jdeveloper based upon a plsql package it has 3 input parameters and return a parameter
I've deployed the webservice to my SOA apps server and tested it satisfactorily
I've then created the web service reference in APEX using the shared components utility and it appears to create the reference ok (based upon the WSDL without searching UDDI), this correctly shows the operation and input and output parameters whilst it is created via the wizard
I've then tried to create a form based upon the web service in APEX, it shows the operation but it does not show the input parameters it gives the mesage "no data found"
has anyone else had this problem?
has anyone got any suggestions?
thanks
Andrew

Jason
Thanks for this, I've tried to upgrade my APEX to 3.01 using the instructions identified it ran for 9hrs before I killed it I assume that there are some things I need to do on my XE database or my machine is not powerful enough, or something else is awry (not found any other posts on the forum indicating anyone else having a problem with the upgrade so I assume its me!)
However I have now managed to access another oracle 10g instance that does have Apex 3.01 and I have now successfully built my application on the web services generated in Jdeveloper
again thanks
Andrew

Web Service in APEX - read from SYS_REFCURSOR -

Hi,
I created a package in the database 10g to give a result with multiple lines:
PACKAGE BODY "PKEMPLOYEES" AS
function getEmployees(p_dept_id number) return SYS_REFCURSOR
as
p_return_cur SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN p_return_cur FOR
'Select first_name from employees where department_id=' || p_dept_id;
return p_return_cur;
end getEmployees;
END;
Then, with the JDeveloper (10.1.3), I have deployed the package as a web service in OC4J Standalone and I used Jpublisher:
jpub -user hr/hr -sysuser sys/orclbd

And, in APEX 2.2, I have tried to use the web service but there is an error:
ORA-20001: env:Clientcaught exception while handling request: unexpected element name: expected={http://hr/MyWSEmp.wsdl/types/}getemployeesXMLRowSetElement, actual={http://hr/MyWSEmp.wsdl}getemployeesXMLR
I think that the APEX don't recognize the SYS_REFCURSOR, but I don't know the way to resolve this.
Any ideas??
Thank you all,

Hi,
What I really pretend is to have a web service that give me the result of a query. The result is multiple lines of a table. I want to call it from APEX to view the result.
What I don't know how to do is the best way to have multiple line result from a web service, in APEX 2.2.
I need to call the web service from the database and then call the procedure in APEX? There is any type (with multiple line) that I can use on the web service that is recognized by APEX?
I'm new in this...
Thank you

Problem with OBIEE Web Service getHTMLForReport() Method

Hello, I´m trying to develop an example using the OBIEE Web Services and I have a problem with the method “getHTMLForReport(String pageID,String pageReportID,String sessionID)” (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12103_01/books/AnyWebServ/AnyWebServ_Methods8.html).
The problem is the next one: In the pageReportID parameter should contain a character string ID returned by the addReportToPage() method, but the addReportToPageMethod is a void method. (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12103_01/books/AnyWebServ/AnyWebServ_Methods4.html#wp1008810)
Which is the value of the pageReportID parameter?
Thank you.

Yes, there seems to be a bug in the oracle documentation. Basically, the second parameter of the addReportToPage() method is a free text. You can put "report101" as value of second parameter. Then you have to use the same string in the getHTMLForReport()method.
For example ..
addReportToPage(pageId, "report2", reportRef, "Jaggi Di Report", null, null, sessionID);
getHtmlForReport(pageId, "report2", sessionID);

Hi Gabriel,
Hi Rohini,
How to create Web Service:
1. Create EJB Project(Stateless session bean is recommended).
2. Create interface according to your requirements
3. Signature(Parameters, data type) should be same in Remote,Bean and Local interface
4. Create EAR Project and corresponding add the EJB Project
5. Expose EJB as Web service. Right click on EJB Project->other->web services->web service(new VI and VSD).
6. Deploy to Application Server.
7. Goto http://localhost:50100/index.html. click on Web service navigator you can find web service
8. Test the web service.
Let me know if want more details

Applying report filter when using OBIEE web services

Hi
Would like to know if it's possible apply report filter when using the web serivce ? Read from Oracle doc that there's this applyReportParams() method in ReportEditingService that could do the job. Can anyone confirm this ?
Currently we've tried to access the report using the WebCatalogService, read the xml and retrieve the result using the XMLViewService successfully. However there's an additional requirement to pass in the report filter on the fly.
Thanks in advance

Hi Gerardnico,

Note: The choice list has 2 custom values.
So please guide me in this regard.

Handling Searching Images in OBIEE Web Services

We have a set of OBIEE web services (12 total) that are being presented on a SharePoint portal in embedded iFrames. Our business client has requested that we hide the searching.gif image (and related text) to avoid the mess that is produced with many of these reports being rendered per iFrame. We are using the setBridge method along with a new user created just for service-oriented reporting. Everything is working fine other than this "issue".
Is there any way to suppress the images? Can the images be customized for a specific user (i.e. replace serching.gif with a blank image)? Any other ideas?
Thanks!

searching.gif is referred through CSS files, thus replace the searching.gif (under res\sk_oracle10\b_mozilla_4) with another custom created blank gif and name it as searching.gif....rename the original searching.gif to searching_original.gif for reference.
caveat: This will affect your enterprise wide display.

Thanks in advance!!

I think you might be on the wrong track. Web services don't "show" anything really. They take in either XML in the case of SOAP-style web services or an HTTP request in the case of restful web services. They typically return XML, but can return JSON or other machine readable formats. Web services don't have forms and reports. More information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_service . To have a human interact with a web service, you typically have a UI layer. For instance, in APEX you can build a form or a report on a web service (the same is true for most popular web technologies).
In APEX 4.0+ you can expose a report as a restful web service, but I really don't think that is what you want to do. There's no way that I can think of to use the XDB web services to expose any component of APEX.
In short, people interact with web applications, such as APEX apps. Machines, such as databases or application servers, interact with web services.
So, do you need to expose some component of your application as an API (web service) that vendors can call programmatically from some other technology such as Java or PHP? Or do you want to build a web application that people can interact with?
