Query for job status using Web Services in BODI

Hello,
I am starting a Batch job in DI using Web Services, getting the following response from DI:
Code:
<soapenv:Envelope
 xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
 xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
 <soapenv:Body>
 <BatchJobResponse>
 <pid>704</pid>
 <cid>26</cid>
 </BatchJobResponse>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
How can I know the status of the started job?
How can I know if the job execution finished with success or not?
I did not find in WSDL file any method to query for job or service status...
Thank you in advance,
Adrian Mitrica

Did you ever get this figured out? I am having exactly the same problem in code generated by VS, with the BAPIRET2 structure.
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

How to provide the data directly for the report using web service

Hi all,
I'm trying to execute a report from the webservice API (using BIP version 10.1.3.4) and want to provide the report with a pre-fetched data set. According to the Dev-Guide, I should use element /ReportRequest/reportData for this, but I can't find a proper example illustrating this use case. The problem is that I don't know how to enter my data set into the element. My data set is xml (text) while the data type of the reportData element is base64binary.
I've tried something like the following, but without any success:
...<reportData>
 <ns1:rowset>
 <ns1:row>
 <ns1:emp>
 <ns1:name>
 </ns1:emp>
 </ns1:row>
 </ns1:rowset>
 </reportData>
...Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
H

Hello,
Thanks for your answer, the situation is a little different from what you describe.
We make a call to BI Publisher via a Web Service (PublicReportService) via the ReportRequest operation.
The report we call contains a query to a database.
When we do not include XML in the reportData field then the report data is obtained from the Database and the report result is returned via the Web Service.
!http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/photos/full/2863197.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0ZRYP5X5F6FSMBCCSE82&Expires=1235722431&Signature=oboPzLWqQDwB2AGCDCAj3ujHRi4%3D!
When, however, we include XML data in the reportData field, then we see that ONLY the XML data in the reportData field is used, and NOT data from the Database.

Is there a possibility to combine the two?

Cannot create opportunity lines for an opportunity using Web Services 2.0

When working with Web Services 2.0 API every object is exposed without any child objects, this means that if we want to query/update/create/delete child objects that child object has to be exposed via WSDL.
I searched for the opportunity lines child object (also known as revenue lines) in the available WSDL's in the application and also in the documentation and I can’t find it anywhere.
I also checked the opportunity WSDL and it does not contain any reference to the opportunity lines?
How do I create opportunity lines for an opportunity using the Web Services 2.0 API???

How to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter using Web Services SDK?

I am struggling to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter of a report.I am using Java Web Services SDK ... I tried to use PromptInfo.getLOV().getValues() method but it does not work.First of all ... is this possible (to get the list of values for a dynamic param) using Web Services?Second of all, if this is possible, how should I do it ... it seems it works fine when running the report from CMC. It asks for DB logon info and after that it provides a list of values.Thx 

Your assumption is correct. We are trying to get the LOVs from the Crystal Report. I was not aware that this is not supported by Web Services SDK.We used Web Services SDK to integrated the Crystal Reports in our web application. We implemented some basic actions for reports: schedule, view instances, run ad-hoc reports.We encountered this problem when trying to run/schedule reports with dynamic parameters (a list of values from DB). We were unable to get the LOVs.Please let me know if you can think of an alternative to look at.Thanks a lot,Catalin

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?

Novice Help with Creating Opportunities Using Web Services 2.0

Hello,
I recently took over our CRM integration services and was asked to push some data via our custom portal.
We use our portal to automate the creation of new opportunities in our Oracle CRM System.
The code was developed using Web Services 1.0
I was recently asked to add data to the "Parent Opportunity" field upon creation of a new Opportunity. Now I may be mistaken and if I am I will be very pleased, but it seems to me this field isn't available in 1.0
If I am mistaken and there IS a way to push data to the "parent opportunity" field using 1.0 Please completely disregard what I have typed below.
Upon looking at the WSLD for 2.0 I see "ParentoptyID" as an available field.
I took it upon myself to try and move this process over to 2.0 but I have hit a few major stumbling blocks. Here is the working code for 1.0:
Public Function CRMAddFinalShipmentOpportunity2(ByVal Session As Session, ByVal Subject As String, ByVal Type As String, ByVal Priority As String, ByVal Account As String, ByVal DueDate As String, ByVal Status As String, ByVal Description As String, ByVal AnnBudget As String, ByVal oppType As String, ByVal partNumber As String, ByVal currency As String, ByVal Territory As String, ByVal Owner As String, ByVal Opp As String) As String
Dim opportunity As nkkcrm.SiebelOpportunity20.Opportunity = New nkkcrm.SiebelOpportunity20.Opportunity
Dim input As New nkkcrm.SiebelOpportunity20.OpportunityInsert_Input
Dim results As New nkkcrm.SiebelOpportunity20.OpportunityInsert_Output
Dim strPriority As String = "1-High,2-Medium,3-Low"
Dim strType As String = "Call,Correspondence,Email,Event,Final Shipment - Book,Final Shipment - Special,Lead Follow-Up,Meeting,Opportunity Follow-Up,Other,Presentation,Quote Follow-Up,Sample Follow-Up,Service Request Follow-Up"
Dim strStatus As String = "Completed,Deferred,Waiting For Someone Else,In Progress,Not Started,Assigned,In Call"
CRMAddFinalShipmentOpportunity2 = ""
' Validate Data (CRM will validate if owner is valid)
If Owner = "" Then
AddError("Error: Missing Owner")
Exit Function
End If
If Subject = "" Then
AddError("Error: Missing Subject")
Exit Function
End If
If strType.IndexOf(Type) < 0 Then
AddError("Error: Invalid or Missing Type")
Exit Function
End If
If strStatus.IndexOf(Status) < 0 Then
AddError("Error: Invalid or Missing Status")
Exit Function
End If
If strPriority.IndexOf(Priority) < 0 Then
AddError("Error: Invalid or Missing Priority")
Exit Function
End If
If Not IsDate(DueDate) Then
AddError("Error: Invalid or Missing DueDate")
Exit Function
End If
Try
opportunity.Url = Session.GetURL()
opportunity.CookieContainer = Session.GetCookieContainer()
'Create the opportunity
Dim tmpAry(0) As nkkcrm.SiebelOpportunity20.Opportunity
input.ListOfOpportunity(0) = tmpAry
input.ListOfOpportunity.SetValue(New nkkcrm.SiebelOpportunity20.Opportunity, 0)
'Assign the opportunity Properties
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).Owner = Owner
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).OpportunityName = Subject
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).AccountName = Account
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).SalesStage = "Rebuy"
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).CloseDate = Date.Today
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).Territory = Territory
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).stProject_Name = "FINAL SHIPMENT REBUY"
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).SourceCampaign = "Rebuy"
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).OpportunityType = oppType
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).Revenue = AnnBudget
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).Description = Description
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).bRebuy = "Y"
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).ProductInterest = partNumber
input.ListOfOpportunity(0).plCurrency_Type = currency
'input.ListOfOpportunity(0).ParentoptyId = Opp
'insert the opportunity
results = opportunity.OpportunityInsert(input)
If results.ListOfOpportunity.Length > 0 Then
CRMAddFinalShipmentOpportunity2 = results.ListOfOpportunity(0).OpportunityId
End If
Catch webex As WebException
AddError(webex.Message)
Catch ex As Exception
AddError(ex.Message)
End Try
End Function
What changes might I need to make in order to make this function correctly using Web Services 2.0?
Currently I get the following errors- For every line of input.ListOfOpportunity(0) I get: '..cannot be indexed because it has no default property.'
Another example of an issue I'm running into is: 'SetValue' is not a member of 'nkkcrm.SiebelOpportunity20.ListOfOpportunityData'

We were able to make this work by re-modeling my code after a code sample I found that creates new Activities.
Here's my code in case it helps someone scanning these forums in the future (Disregard the Opportunity entries that are missing when you compare this to my earlier code- Those weren't relevant to making this work or not work, I simply am not using them now.):
Public Function CRMAddFinalShipmentOpportunity2(ByVal Session As Session, ByVal Owner As String, ByVal Subject As String, ByVal Type As String, ByVal Priority As String, ByVal DueDate As String, ByVal Status As String, ByVal Description As String, ByVal POValue As String, ByVal oppType As String, ByVal partNumber As String, ByVal currency As String, ByVal servername As String, ByVal pass As String, ByVal usrname As String) As String

How to use web services in Excelsius 2008

I am new to this tool. I have trial version on excelsius 2008 and i would like to build a dashboard that should query our corporate database (in oracle). I think web services is a option to do it. Any samples available?.Please help me
Edited by: AshishDatar on Jul 27, 2009 6:29 PM

Hi AshishDatar:
For you question you want to get data from data base using web service connection. Here I can give you some suggestions
1.Write a web service to retrieve data from data base, then use Xcelsius u201Cweb service connectionu201D under u201CManage Connectionu201D section to consume the service and get the data from data base to spread sheet.
2.Xcelsius also provide you a tool to generate web service with easy way (without coding). (Suggested)
Using flynet, you can get flynet installation file under Xcelsius installation folder u201CXcelsius\Connectivity\Flynet Webservice Generatoru201D for more information about flynet please refer to
http://myxcelsius.com/2008/11/07/generating-web-services-for-xcelsius-using-flynet-web-service-generator/
Here is also a demo on how to use web service conneciton with Xcelsius + Flynet

Can I use Web Services with Microsoft Access?

I'm somewhat handy with Microsoft Access (2003 in particular), but not an expert. Macros? No problem. VBA? I'd be hard pressed to code anything from scratch, but I'm not too bad with modifying code/examples to fit my particular scenario. So, if anything about this doesn't ring quite right, now you'll know why. Some years ago I worked with another guy to develop a module that used REST(?) to query some web services at Yahoo!. If that worked, I was hoping that I could do similar things with CRMOD I was thinking, for example, I might want to get the Opportunity Sales Stage for a number of records. And since there are tools for Excel and Word, I thought Access might work, too. As a starting point, I imagine I need to use the Web Services Toolkit for Office 2003. But frankly, I don't even know where to go beyond that.
Am I wasting my time? Any suggestions for an intro to web services?

Probably not through USB.
But likely if its anytihng like the Microsoft Sync in my Ford Explorer you can play audio from it through Bluetooth.
You can read here for compatibilites, and features.

I connect My iPad to the Sync media center with no issues and can play my musci from the iPad thorugh the car stereo speakers.

How to do Bulk data transfer using Web Service

In my application I have to write various web services but majority of the web service has to
query database and return back bulk data(rows>10K) through web service.
So I would like to ask what is the efficient way of transferring bulk data using web service as presently
Iam returning the dataset as xml String (using StringBuilder) from web service and consuming the same at client end.
Is there a better way to this in web service?
My env:
Front end can be in any other technology ,UI like C#
Back end : Tomcat 6 on Java 6 with Axis2
Thanks in advance

Innova wrote:
But then also I have to mention a return type although its xml that is getting transferred.
Can you provide me a with a small sample code.Like if I have Emp obect with properties
Empname,EmpID,DOJ,DOB,Dpt . In this case what will be the return type.
My major concern is that my resultset is going to be huge in terms of >10,000 rows so
that much time for formation of xml and then the transfer so how can I reduce the transfer
time ,I meant a faster optimised approach for transferring large data as part of web service.
Simply putting , how can I transfer bulk data in minimum time so that I can reduce the
waiting time at client side for the response.
Thanks in advanceI've done this with thousands before now, and not had a performance problem...at least nothing worth writing home about.
Your return type will be an array of Emp objects. You can use a SOAP array for that (you'll need to look that up for the syntax, since I can't remember it off the top of my head), which gets restricted to being an array of Emp.
Should the normal technique prove to be too slow then you should look at alternatives, but I would expect this to work well enough. And you have no faffing about with devising a new transfer system that then has to be explained to your client system...it'll all be standard.

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.

Please provide support for the above request.
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?

Performance impact of using Web Services?

As BEA and other vendors continue to add Web Services support
to their enterprise software, what is your plan for
quantifying the performance impact and the functional
correctness of using web services before going live with the
final application?
Empirix is hosting a free one hour web event discussion on
web services testing and automated web services testing
solutions on Thursday, January 17, 2-3pm Eastern time.
To sign-up for this web event or learn about other web
events being offering by Empirix this month, go to:
http://webevents.empirix.com
For your convenience, here is the complete abstract:
The advent of web services has brought the promises of
integrating multiple software applications from
heterogeneous networks and for exchanging information
from vendor-to-vendor or vendor-to-consumer in a
standardized way.
As web service technologies are deployed within and across
organizations over the next several years, it will be
critical that web services undergo performance testing.
As with any enterprise software project, the adoption of
proper test methodologies and use of testing tools will
play a key part in the overall success or failure of
projects utilizing web services. In a compressed
software project schedule, an organization must
quickly determine if its web services will operate
successfully under a variety of load conditions. Like other
web-based technologies, successful web services will need
to respond quickly and correctly when implemented.
During our presentation, we will discuss the testing
challenges created by this emerging technology, along with
the variety of testing solutions available. Automated
web service testing will be discussed and demonstrated
using FirstACT, the first web services performance testing solution available
on the market. Using a sample web
service, automatic test case creation, scalability testing,
and results analysis will be explored.
