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?

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?

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?

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

Can you create a Adobe DPS app that use Web Services

I'm looking to create a DPS app that uses web services to pass data to and from a web server when the user has an internet connection, but when the user is offline stores data locally until an internet connection is established and then passes the locally stored data to the web server. Is this possible with DPS/

It's challenging but it's possible. Hint: local storage.

Report sometimes prompts for database logon prior to execution

I have installed the Crystal Reports Integration Addon on our system and it works correclty for users on our terminal services server. But when I installed it on a user's PC running Windows XP, when I go to execute an existing report, the Runtime viewer launches, and then displays a Database logon panel with the Server field filled in, the database field is blank, and the SA user and password fields are populated, and I get an error that says logon failed. I type in the SA user id and password, but get the same error.
If the same user logs onto the TS server, the runtime viewer launches correctly and the report prompts for input, then displays the appropriate data (no database logon is requested). But if it runs at that user's workstation, the viewer launches, and then prompts for database logon.
We are running SAP 2007A SP00 PL47, CR Basic 2008 for SAP Business One, and the runtime viewer is Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime SP1. version 2.0.0.7

Hi Bruce,
I am not sure what the problem is.
The only workaround I can think of is to change the Integrated Security in the report to true. This means that you will be using Windows Authentication as opposed SQL Authentication. This will not prompt for SQL username and password.
Usually this is NOT an ideal process as you will have to Add each and every Windows user in the SQL Database you are trying to access. For example, you have to add DOMAIN_NAME\User_Name under the Database Properties.
I am not sure what the minimum security you need to run the report. You will try a few different options and see what works best for you. Avoid permissions that would give users ability to write to the SQL database.
Again, I know this is not ideal. But I am not sure what else can be done here.

What is the best way to deploy application that uses web services?

Hi all,
I'm having some problems figuring out the best way to deploy our app now that we've switched over to using web services.
I'm fairly new to Java and web services. From what I understand, JNLP and WebStart are methods to deploy Java clients to users and not for creating war files and the like.
Here's a little background:
We have a large PowerBuilder/Oracle application. The db consists of over 500 tables and the client consists of several thousand PB components. A user creates "transactions" which contain a series of "sub-transactions" within. Most of the data is collected and stored locally in the client in a series of datastores. When the "finalize" happens, the records are validated and sent to the database.
We are in the process of moving each of the subtransactions (currently in the PB client) into subPROCESSES on a java project. We are using the JAX-WS framework to develop the web services in Netbeans. These web services aren't much more than remote xml as the messaging technology. For writing data back to the database, we are using the Java Persistence API to function outside of an EJB container but will shortly be migrating to the Glassfish application server to use several of the EJB container frameworks including the EntityManager.
We haven't attempted any type of deployment and are unsure of where to start. Any suggestions would be so helpful and appreciated!
Thanks!

It is for launching rich client GUI based (AWT, Swing, SWT..) applications onto the end-user's desktop.
There are some parts of JWS that might seem peripherally useful to the installation of a web-app., but it is really not a 'good fit'.

Web Service with Drop Down Lists for database selections

Hello,
I want to define a Web Service with the JDeveloper which can do the following.
I´ve got a database table with several columns which represents a customer adress and name.
On a WebSite I like to have three Drop Down Lists to search in that table. The first list should include the field "name". When I select a name there the second list should show all streets (field "street") where people with the selected name live. When I select the street the third list should show me the house numbers (field "hn") of the customers with the selected name and street.
What have I to do to define a application, a project and so on?
Many Thanks!

Hello,
This question is not directly related to Web Services, since in this case you can consider that the Web Service is your "model" providing data to your view (JSP). One of the question I would like to ask you is: why do you want to use a Web Service to do that? and how you want to deploy this?
In a general manner, if you use Web Service it is to be able to reuse the business logic in other projects, so based on this statement I would create a specific project that will contain you "model" so all your services.
The to consume it from your JSP you have different ways:
- create a Java proxy, or use @WebServiceRef to call the client
- use Javascript to call the service directly from the HTML page, take a look to the Oracle Web Service endpoint page, where you can see some Javascript stub links.
Please give more details about your project and needs and I will try to give you a proper answer.

Can we use REST web service as Data source in SSRS? !!!!NOT SOAP!!!!

Hello,
We have requirement to use the REST web service as the Data source of SSRS. Tried with XML as Data Source, but unfortunately I could not succeed because the query expects SOAPAction which is not available in REST Service.
Do we have any option to use REST Service, if so please provide some basic example, so that I can try out some options.
If not, do we have any alternate solutions to handle these situations?
Thanks!
Vinay

Hi Vinay.
After looking on it for some time, I am afraid currently there is no document to talk on how to use the REST web service as a data source.
You can use the link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa964129(v=SQL.90).aspx for a renference.
From a support perspective currently this is really beyond what we can do here in the forums. If you cannot determine your answer here or on your own, consider opening a

XML Web Service as data source

We are researching the option of using a web service as the data source of a Crystal report. There are a couple of points that I would like your input.
1) How are report parameters passed to the web service?
2) Are there any known performance issues? I created a simple XML file that had 200,000 rows (3 columns) and there was a delay of 2 min for Crystal displaying all of the report. We have reports of this size, I just wanted to get a feeling of Crystal processing and rendering of the XML file.
3) Are there any restrictions on the XML schema definition for Crystal? We are using Crystal 11.5 and 2008.
I appreciate your input and any ideas.
Many Thanks,

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.

Building Portlets Declaratively tutorial (web service as data source)

[I mistakenly posted this on the Portal Applications forum earlier.]
I'm going through the Building Portlets Declaratively tutorial. In the Creating a Portlet Using a Web Service as a Data Source section, I enter the WSDL URL and click the Show Parameters button, and no parameters are returned, as expected. I then click the Next button to go to the Filter page. The Column dropdown list contains only the <none> and ERROR items. I returned to the previous page and clicked the Test button. This is the result:
<ns1:getEmpXMLResponse xmlns:ns1="oracle.ws.scott.OTNDeptEmp" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/literalxml" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<return>
<ERROR>
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNUM=168821760)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))
</ERROR>
</return>
</ns1:getEmpXMLResponse>
I get the same response when I use this page to test getEmpXML: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/webservices/hostedservices_index.html
Is there a different service that I should now be calling (i.e., is OTNDeptEmp.getEmpXML no longer available?)?
Thanks.

ABAP consuming Web Service in HTTPS keeps prompting for credentials

I have a Share Point Web Service that I want
to call in HTTPS from ABAP
in an ECC 6.0 SAP_BASIS 700 SP 30 system. The
following steps have been
executed:
BASIS work completed –
SAPCRYPTOLIB, HTTPS Activation, profile
parameters, STRUST certificates
I have created the Client Proxy in SE80 for the SharePoint WCF Web Service
The Logical Port was created in SOAMANAGER
The issue I have is when I test the process using SE80 sometimes it will prompt
for credentials, sometimes it won't. The behavior is very sporadic, I
can run it once and it prompts then the second time it doesn't. This is
especially true after a restart of the system. The user and password
are on the RFC destination under consumer security tab.
Any suggestions why the prompting for
credentials?
