Omniportlet problems using web page as data source

When trying to set up an omniportlet using a web page as a data source
I get as far as defining the sectioning and scraping parts of the web clipping process.
When going on to the "filter" step of the process I always get an error message like:
Error
Failed to open specified URL. Check the following:
is the URL is active; is there a valid proxy setting or,
if HTTP authentication is required, check user name and password.
[http://oslap03.agra.int:7777/portalTools/webClipping/webData/omniPortlet/wcserver/jsp/show.jsp?_orawcs_providerId=39337338&_orawcs_portletId=1&_orawcs_p
ortletInstanceId=33731_OMNIPORTLET_39337338&_orawcs_userI
d=-&_orawcs_responseType=rowsetRow]
We are not using proxy servers for accessing external web pages in other cases
(so I wouldn't think we needed to now either), and this even happens for web
pages residing within our own network.
Any tips are much appreciated.

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?

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.

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?

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....

I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?

I'm having problems loading web pages on a vmware workstation 6.05 guest OS using Firefox 3.5.9. Also tried the latest 3.6 version. I can ping external websites fine from the guest. No proxy. Any ideas?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed a guest OS

I'm using the same swear words as you. There are several threads about this problem - no answers.
I have a LaserJet 8100N and 8150DN, get the 79.01FE error on the 8150 from print outs from Safari, Firefox, and Preview, for only some sites/documents. CNN.com has become my test site, seems I can crash the printer 90% of the time with their home page at any given time in the day.
A summary of what I have tried:
- Upgraded the firmware to the latest for both the JetDirect card and the printer.
- Swapped the JetDirect cards between the 8100 and 8150.
- Swapped ram on the 8150 board.
- Disconnected external trays, bins, and removed extra RAM and hard drives from the 8150.
- Tried setting the JetDirect link and matching switch port link to 100FD, 10HD, 10FD, 100HD, as suggested by a poster.
- Tried having client's print to the printer through a XServer Print Server.
- Can consistently create the error from multiple systems running 10.3.9, 10.4.5, and 10.4.6 (didn't have an install base of 10.4 before 10.4.5).
Someone in the 'know' (which means they're likely not), said 10.4.7 will likely fix this. Being Apple has not even addressed that the problem exists (that I could find), I doubt the magic fix is a release away.
Apple's software is triggering something that Windows systems appears not to be, so one could say it's an Apple problem; but ulimately it's HP's software/hardware that is at fault in that it is allowing their system to crash from input alone.

Downloaded Firefox 4 to a new Laptop never used 4 before am having problems adding my custon buttons to frequently used web pages

I downloaded Firefox onto a laptop that did not have Firefox already installed. Downloading went well, but I do not know how to use 4, I had the older version on my desktop and I can not figure out how to add the applications I want to use on my bar. I had customized web pages and do not know how to re-make the app on 4. before you went into customize and you could make your own app with a picture and it brought me to my frequently used web page. HELP

Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

Using XML as a Data Source

In http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10540/datasource.htm#CHDBCAIJ it states you can use XML as your data source and mentions...
URLs can include repository or session variables, providing support for HTTP data sources that accept user IDs and passwords embedded in the URL. For example:
http://somewebserver/cgi.pl?userid=valueof(session_variable1)&password=valueof(session_variable2)
I'm trying to pass this:
http://somewebserver/cgi.pl?userid=valueof(NQ_SESSION.USER)
but when I try that I can see in my web server logs that the content of the userid variable is 'valueof(NQ_SESSION.USER)' so it's not passing the results to the web server, just the text. Any ideas what's going on? Is my syntax correct? Thanks!

Hey,
There are a few things to look at when using session and repository variables within the RPD.
One of the first documents you need to reference is the "What is the Syntax for Referencing Variable?" section within the OBI documentation. In addition look at this section on how to use variables in the RPD, http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10540/variables.htm#BIEMG3104
Basically you are trying to use NQ_SESSION.USER which is the syntax for trying to show the user name is Presentation Services. Of course you can see this in your web server logs because that is the correct syntax for presentation services web tier but not the RPD where you define your XML Source.
You need to try either use VALUEOF("USER") or you are simply forgeting to put the syntax surrounded by single-quotes like, http://somewebserver/cgi.pl?userid='valueof(NQ_SESSION.USER)' to pull the system session variable into the XML URL as needed.
Try those options and let me know if that works.
Please mark this as the correct answer or helpful.
Cheers,
Christian

Are u using Web Page Composer? Would like to get ur feedback.

Dear Fellows,
Is anyone using Web Page Composer for prodution purpose yet? The point is I upgraded to NW04S SP 13 (specifically to install WPC) however its still buggy and not that user friendly.
I was hoping that most of the issues will be knocked out in NW04S SP14 and I applied SP14 on my sandbox environment but those issue still exist.
I intend to use it in my production server soon. May be I am missing something from my side; So is any of you using WPC successfully? If so, what release are you in?
Thanks a lot,
Deepak

Hi Deepak
I am involved in a project where we are using the WPC for content management on an external facing portal (soon to go-live), and I can share a bit of our experiences with the product.
In my opinion the product still has quite a few places for improvement:
- The procedure for creating new page layouts is (too) complicated and time-consuming.
- We have encountered a problem with the wpc connector when using the light framework page (seems to work fine with standard framework page as I recall from our tests).
- Errors from time to time when you edit a web page like others mention.
- Navigation does not work for anonymous users after restart of portal until an administrator has navigated through the content.
- You cannot set properties on the web page when editing the page, you only set properties for the content snippets (web forms), not the entire page. And because you search for the page, the attributes defines in the xml-file cannot be used in the search or elsewhere in the Flex UI. Actually you cannot use the properties you set on content snippet level to anything - else than giving some meta-information when editing the page.
- Plus more, but I have not been involved in it all.
We have had to make a lot of custom development because of lacking functionality, but some of that development is for sure because we use the External Facing Portal in our scenario.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Martin Søgaard

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.

Removing links in a web page created using web page composer

Hi there,
I am creating web pages using Web page composer. I would like to remove the links Send Feedback, E-mail, Print, Add to Favorites, RSS. How can i achieve this?
Your comments are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Ponraj M

To configure the functions of the page header you will have to wait for SP14.
I guess to change the header for an SP13 you have to modify the pageheader.jsp. The page is part of the com.sap.nw.wpc.runtime.PageHeaderComponent.
Please note that this modification is not supported by SAP!

Nested site navigation using Web Page Composer (WPC)

Is it possible to nest navigation nodes using Web Page Composer?
I have created a WPC site and added pages, but I am required to create a node with sub-pages (similar to adding a folder to a workset) for a site.
Has anyone done this or know how to easily do this? I do not want to maintain a separate WPC site (and corresponding workset folder) for each navigation node/group in the structure hierarchy.
This is an example of what we are trying to accomplish in our navigation structure using a single WPC site:
* Page 1
* Page 2
+ Group 1
    * Page 3
    * Page 4
+ Group 2
    * Page 5
    * Page 6
* Page 7
Thanks in advance...
Points will be awarded for helpful answers.

Hi Angie,
Could you please guide how to make the RSS link lists work in WPC, we do not receive any updates from external websites.
Thanks,
Shravs

Problem to choose SLD as DATA Source on SMSY.

Hi all,
I have installed the Solution Manager system 7.0 ehp1. I have problem to choose u201CSLDu201D as DATA Source on HeadData I can just choose u201CTMS/FRCu201D. Is it possible to add SLD to DATA Source list.
I did start batch job on SMSY_setup and That working correcet. But I have just u201CTMS/FRCu201D On Data Source list..
Can anyone please help we this?
I am really going nowhere!!!!!!
Regards

If you are adding the system manually to the SMSY, then the data source cannot be SLD. Only systems which are updated from the SLD will have the datasource as SLD.
If you setup the SLD, and then connect the SLD to solution manager the SMSY can then be updated from SLD.
Also, with SP18 & SP19, the way the system landscape is updated has changed. The Program RSGET_SMSY reads from SLD, then from TMS/RFC. so if something is different between SMSY and the satellite system it is overwritten in SMSY and since the last data which is read will be from RFC, then the data source is TMS/RFC.
