PAPI web services

A simple question.
I use BPM standalone. I create an ADF (PAPI) to show the information of the processes. The ADF application can be deployed to weblogic or oracle application server.
When should I use PAPI web service?
Thanks

If you have decided to use PAPI then I think makes no sense to use PAPIWS but think if you want to do the same with .NET then the only possibility you have is PAPIWS.
Hope it helps

Hi,
Is there any sample code showing PAPI-WS with VS 2008? AFAIK, there is a sample using VS 2005 and WSE 3.0, but I'm interested in using VS 2008/WCF.

Dan,
I tried in both studio and Standalone.
From Studio :*
1. The Url for the Webservice is (http://localhost:8585/papiws/PapiWebServiceEndpoint?wsdl). From studio by default port number was 8585.From this studio wsdl URL(http://localhost:8585/papiws/PapiWebServiceEndpoint?wsdl),I did n't see any wsdl text in the browser.
From Standalone :*
1. In BPM Admin Center, I have selected *"PAPI Web Services"* check box(Page 5 of your document).
2. In The BPM Admin Center, I have clicked on *"Start BPM Web Applications"*.
3. After Stand alone server started *"Launch PAPI WebServices Console"* link was enabled,And I clicked on that link.It opened a browser with URL (http://localhost:8686/papiws/PapiWebService)

Question about Using PAPI Web Service in PowerBuilder 9

Hi, all.
I Have a simple question about using papiws in power builder 9.
In pb9, I created a new Web Service Proxy Wizard and I input a url for papiws(ex. http://seraphpernote:7001/papiws/PapiWebService) and click next.
But I couldn't get any Service List.
In Eclipse, I used this url for using papiws well.
Does anybody know about this case??
help me plz.

IIRC you must activate PAPI-WS for the engine. In Studio you do it by right-clicking on the project, then "engine preferences". In enterprise/standalone you must activate PAPI-WS in the Admin Center.

How to change the attribute of process instance by PAPI web service

Is it possible to change the value of the attribute of one process instance by PAPI web servcie?
thanks!

That information is stored in the table PPROCINSTANCE in the engine database in the column instancedata, it is a blob.

BPM Process As a Web-Service Username and Password

Hi all,
We have exposed a Process as a Web-Service WSDL to another system . We use Username Token Profile to enter the username and password to connect to the Web-Service..
Now what we do is we have a role in our project and we create a dummy Web-Service user and add the role to that user and then use its password and username to call the Web-Service.
Can we change this?
Can we have a dummy username and password not associated with any role in BPM used in our Web-Service?

Did you use PAPI code inside your web service or did u just use PAPI Web Services ( like did u just pressed the button Launch PAPI Web Services ) and it created the WSDL for you and u used it to create the client?
I am using the latest version of OBPM..
Oracle 10.3.10
Can you let me know what do u mean by PAPI interface.. Is it the PAPI code of is the PAPI Web Service which is built by BPM automatically and could be used?

Process as a Web Service WSDL client

Hi,
I am using the Process as a Web Service Option inside of BPM . I launch the deployed webservices webapps and I get the WSDL out of it.. The WSDL works fine with SOAP UI..But when I try to create a web service client out of that WSDL it gives me the following error:-
com.bea.albpm.TestProject.SampleProject.OperationException cannot be resolved as type and the web service client does not work..
how do I resolve this error.. Is there a jar file that I need to import?

Web Service triggering a Process Flow

Hi
I am a newbie to Oracle10g BPM. I am building a web application using Google Maps that would inturn invoke a BPM process.
From the Google Maps JSF web application i want to invoke a web service which in turn should do the required set of tasks(i.e geocoding and subsequent processing).
As such this is an application calling another BPM application.
The business logic is embedded in a web service(which forms the FIRST STEP) in the process. The web service is in turn expected to do a series of tasks which do not require any human intervention.
What i am NOT clear about is how to setup a Process flow that exposes a web service (at the first step) that can be consumed by external applications.
Can anyone give me broad guidelines on how i should be implementing this in BPM.
Thanks and Regards
Govind

Sub-Process Main Process Web-Service

Hi,
I have a main Process and a sub-process inside this main process.
I have a Wait activity inside this sub-process, which waits for an external call from another system to call my Web-Service at this Wait activity. This Web-Service is built as Process As a Web-Service Call.
But I fail to get any information back from this Wait Activity which keeps waiting for the call from the external system which calls my Web-Service at this Wait Activity.
But the external system is calling my Web-Service and it gets a error notification from BPM..
Why is that so?
Is it because its a sub-process inside a main process or something else?

Did you use PAPI code inside your web service or did u just use PAPI Web Services ( like did u just pressed the button Launch PAPI Web Services ) and it created the WSDL for you and u used it to create the client?

Accesing a web service hosted in Plumtree Portal

I have created a process and I need to access it's PAPI web service. I
found this easy during development, I would use the Designer's WorkSpace
and access the service at
http://MYSERVER:PORTNUMBER/MYPROCESS/webservices/ProcessService?WSDL.
But, now I have deployed it in the plumtree portal this same URL format
(obviously on a different server and port) doesn't seem to work and just
gives me a "HTTP 400 - Page cannot be found" error. Is the URL format
different once it is deployed through Plumtree Portal?
Thanks,
Martyn

Got this working, was using the wrong domain...doh!

Hi,
I have now hit another issue, another one I didn't envision while
testing in the designer.
Our portal uses Active Directory to log our users in. I'm trying to use
the process web service to start instances without the users having to
go into the Process Portal UI. The issue is when I need to call
createSession it asks for a Username and Password but I can only know
the Username at this point due to using AD. Is there a way to set the
authentication type that createSession uses?
I'm guessing it might be something you change in the document.properties
file, I've tried creating a preset and using skip-auth but I'm not sure
is this is applicable or if I'm using it correctly.
I have added "directory.default.preset.test.skip-auth=true" to the
document.properties and restarted the Plumtree portal Identity Service.
I try and call service.createSessionWithPreset(USERNAME, "", False,
"test") but this still gets the error "Cannot authenticate participant".
Thanks in advance,
Martyn

Yes, the URL will be a little different. It's really /APPNAME/webservices/ProcessService?WSDL. In ProcessDesigner/ALBPMStudio, the APPNAME defaults to the project name. But on ALIP/ALBPM Enterprise APPNAME is the context that the workspace was deployed as. Which is, by default, portal.
So try http://myserver/portal/webservices/ProcessService?WSDL .

Using PAPI in a Web Service

I am using Java PAPI code in my Web Service.. I have imported the fuegopapi-client jar in my project. I compile the program, I create a WSDL and deploy it to a server .But I get an exception when I run it. I get the following exception:-
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException.
Does anybody know why is this exception..
The same program works well with the Java PAPI code inside of a simple Java app, but gives this error in a web app.

Yes, I could use PAPI -WS.. But directly using PAPI-WS exposes all methods inside PAPI-WS.. Or else I have to use the following code inside my web service to call only one method i.e. processCreateInstance and I think I wud get the same exception because of the JAR :-

value = binding.processCreateInstance(processId, argumentsSetName, argumentsBeanHolder);

PAPI Service Interfaces not exposed as Web Services

Hi,
In guide Javadoc_PAPI_SAPME_150 there are some public interfaces that are not present as Web Services in SAP NetWeaver Application Server -> Single Service Administration: Service Definitions.
The list of missing interfaces is:
ArchiveServiceInterface
BrowseServiceInterface
BrowseSfcServiceInterface
DateGlobalizationServiceInterface
DBSequenceServiceInterface
DomainServiceInterface
DynamicInvocationServiceInterface
HookExecutionServiceInterface
LocalizedServiceInterface
NumberGlobalizationServiceInterface
OverrideDefinitionServiceInterface
PortletConfigurationServiceInterface
PredefinedFieldGroupConfigurationServiceInterface
PrintingFormatServiceInterface
PrintingTransportServiceInterface
ResourceBundleGlobalizationServiceInterface
RevisionableDomainServiceInterface
RunAsServiceInterface
SchedulingStandardsConfigurationServiceInterface
SpcChartServiceInterface
TextGlobalizationServiceInterface
I don't understand if this is by design or if there are some error in the customer NetWeaver implementation.
Thank you for your help,
Filippo.

Hello Konstantin,
thank you for your response.
Just another question: you say "It's indicated that listed services are not published" but I don't understand where it's indicated.
For example in documentation Javadoc_PAPI_SAPME_150, package com.sap.me.common, ObjectResolverServiceInterface and DynamicInvocationServiceInterface are documented in the same way and I don't see any indication that says if the interface is published as WS or not.
Best regards,
Filippo.

To launch Oracle BPM deployed Web Services [In BPM Enterprise]

Hi all,
I have expose my Process Instance into Web Services in Studio.
It is working well. In Studio, I start the Engine (Run -> Start Engine),
Then, I Start the Web Services (Run -> Launch deployed Web Services webapps).
It would show me my local webservice links.
http://localhost:9000/albpmServices/<ProjectName>/ws
But, I unable to launch this Web Service Webapps, when i deploy the project into Oracle BPM Enterprise with Weblogic Server.
May know what is the link for BPM Enterprise?
Regards,
Chris

My URL is:-
http://localhost:9000/albpmServices/TestProject/ws/TestProcessServiceListener?wsdl=true
and it does not seem to open the WSDL when I start the enterprise server engine..
I have the process exposed as a web-service with two methods..
One for Process Creation and another for Notification Wait Activity...
I have also checked the box to start PAPI WS Services on my standalone server
Is there some other config that I need to make inside my standalone server to get this WSDL?
I understand that standalone works on Tomcat...

Timeout when consuming a SOAP web service

Hello,
I'm quite new to Labview and I'm trying to consume a SOAP web service created using a very simple WCF example, but I keep on getting a WebException because of a timeout.
The web service has been created using the example from the WCF getting started tutotial (to keep things simple) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms734712.aspx
You'll find my .Net solution attached to this message. (You'll have to be administrator to run the service though).
I have used the import web service tool in Labview to create the VI to connect to the web service and all went fine, it created the VI correctly. You'll find the created VI also attached to this message.
Then, I'm trying to create a very simple VI to call the webservice and put the return value inside a numeric indicator. Unfortunately, when I run this VI it crashes with a WebException because of a timeout.
If I run the .Net client, everything goes fine, and if I go to the web service address with a browser, I get the service website, so I know that the server is registered correctly, only Labview can't connect to it for an unknown reason. Everything is setup to connect through localhost:8000, so it can't really be a network problem, I've tried disabling the Windows firewall to see if that was the problem, but it persists.
I've also tried to do something similar using the CDYNE web service, like in the example http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4728/en/, and it works perfectly.
Does anybody have an idea about what could be the issue?
Regards.

OK, I found the problem myself, it was a problem with the configuration of the WCF service, I was missing the ServiceMetadata endpoint.
For reference, if somebody stumbles upon the same issue as I had, here's a service configuration that works with Labview (using .Net >=4.0)
  <system.serviceModel>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <protocolMapping>
      <add scheme="http" binding="basicHttpBinding" />
    </protocolMapping>
  </system.serviceModel>
And here's how to create and run the service host.
using (ServiceHost selfHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(Calculator), new Uri("http://localhost:8000/Calculator")))
                try
                    selfHost.Open();
                    Console.ReadLine();
                    selfHost.Close();
                catch (CommunicationException e)
                    selfHost.Abort();
                    throw;
