What SAP Business Objects Web Services to use with XI3.0

I'm new to BO and is tasked to install it.
What I've installed already is the BOE XI3.0 version and now want to install Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise.
What I can not figure out from the Xcelsius manual or SDN or OSS is what the Business Objects Web Services are the manual instructs you to install with Xcelsius.
I did find something called
BusinessObjects Web Services XI for Windows and downloaded it but is not sure if this is what I need to install as the business Object Web Services on XI 3.0
Can someone please direct me in the correct direction
Thanks in advance
Liezel

Hi,
i am not sure if i understand your question. If you mean Query as a Webservice (QaaWS), this component should be part of your XI 3.0 Enterprise installation. You could also use the flynet (www.flynet.co.uk) which is part of Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP1.

Merge modules for Business Objects XI service pack 4

I am in the process of developing a deployment package in Installshield 2009 - Basic MSI Project. I tried adding the merge modules I downloaded earlier from the web page, http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/runtime.asp
Currently I do not see this web page. It would be nice if you could tell me whether do we have a merge module for Crystal Reports XI service pack 4. If we have where from i can download them. Thank you

Thanks a lot for the immediate response. However, I am not using the crystal reports Version, R2 release.
I had actually installed Business Object XI and applied service pack 4 on it. I checked the version in Help->About. It is 11.0.0.
Also my environment is XP Sp2, Visual studio 2003 and Visual studio 6.0. I understand that R2 release is needed if the environment is Visual Studio 2005.
I would like to give a clear picture of the issue I work through.
After deploying the software in the client machine, I came to know that when client tried to print the embedded crystal report (.dsr file) from CrViewer,
1. Page set-up dialog bog gets displayed.
2. After clicking 'OK' button in the page set-up dialog box, nothing happens. It is suppose to bring print dialog.
I simulated this in my development machine (confirmed that Print dialog is is not getting displayed when 'OK' button is clicked from 'Page setup' dialog)
I researched and found out from some web page that if Business Objects XI is updated to Service pack 4, this issue gets resolved
So i applied service pack 4 in my dev. machine and tested the functionality by clicking 'OK' button. This issue is no more.
Next logical step is to propagate the sp4 changes to the installer. I searched for the merge modules corresponding to Business Objects XI - service pack 4. I could not locate it now.
I searched my backup folder, I located some previously downloaded merge modules downloaded from the web page, http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/runtime.asp
I tried to include these merge modules and received an error message "Internal build error" . My research revealed that inclusion of the merge module, CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm (43,306 Kb, 7/4/2007) throws "Internal build error" during compilation of MSI project in Installshield 2009.
Any idea, tips and help to resolve the issue would be appreciated. Thank you.

Business Objects Web Service Interface for Scheduling (without Java SDK)

Task:
> use BO web service interface to schedule report generation and fetch job with generated PDF object without having to use Java (Webservice) SDK
Detailed requirements:
> get session ID : ok, session WSDL, <BO server alias>/dswsbobje/services/Session , method "session"
> schedule a specific report : in general clear, via <BO server alias>/dswsbobje/services/BIPlatform, method "schedule"
> set report format to "PDF": is that possible ? With which WSDL and method ?
> schedule right now and only once: is that possible ? With which WSDL and method ?
> can I provide a parameter value for that report ?
> does schedule response contain jobID for later fetching of completed job ?
> how to fetch scheduled job for check of completion ?
> how to check status of job concerning completion ?
> how to fetch created PDF from completed job ?
With focus on my research (have checked and tested with soapUI), WSDL interface of BO seems not to be sufficient to fullfil the upper requirements, so I have to use BO Java SDK, which is powerful enough. Am I right ? Can you provide insights how to fullfil the requirements with the web service interface ? Would make whole implementation simpler (invocation from Tibco, ESB implementation).

The error you're hitting is presumably JBO-25030.
Look to the "merge" command. In the parent you specify just the key of the preexisting parent record, and then in the child you specify your new child record.

Business object web service

Does anyone know a reason why you cannot select certain operations like "findall" when trying to expose a business object as a webservice?
Regards
Dan

Hi,
There is a excerpt in the CE 7.1 Doc that says:
Some of the operations cannot be exposed as Web service. For example, the query operations of the business objects cannot be exposed as Web services because they have output with multiple cardinality. All changes of input or output parameters of the business object or application service operations you expose as Web services reflect to the generated WSDL.
The page is:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/24128b347c1c9fe10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
I don´t understand the reason quite well.

Business Objects Web Services

I made six wsdl web services using "Query As Web Services" of BusinessObjects XI 3.1. Then i converted these into restful web services using Netbeans.
Out of these, two web services are made for user1 and rest web services are for user2. User1 shouldn't have access to user2's web services and vice versa. How can i achieve this using SAP BO?

i waiting your help?

Creating RESTful Web Service for BLOB retrieval

Hi,
Just got RESTful web services working in Apex 4.2.1 with new Listener 2.1.
I have now been asked to create a RESTful web service by which photos in BLOB column can be retrieved upon providing the ID for that photo. Can this be done using the Creating RESTful Service Module of Apex 4.2.1? Looking at the Apex 4.2 documentation, I would assume this can be done, but has anyone used this with BLOB data?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat,
Yes this can be done using RESTful Services - you just need to ensure the query used is in the required format. To obtain a BLOB for a given ID, you would need create a Resource template and handler with the following settings:
Resource Template Settings:
URI template: emppic/{id}
Resource Handler Settings:
Source query: select mimetype, product_image from demo_product_info where product_id = :id..where the format of the SQL query is SELECT 'content_type', blob_column FROM . . ., as mentioned in Rick Greenwald's Cloud White paper "RESTful Web Services for the Oracle Database Cloud", under the "SQL Source Type" section (see www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-cloud/public/restful-wp-1844130.pdf ):
where 'content_type' is a string passed to the browser to be used to identify the incoming data, and the column to identify the source of the data being sent back. This data is sent back untouched by the Oracle Database Cloud Service. The Media Resource Source Type is typically used for media objects, such as images, where the data will be directly handled by the recipient making the call.The MIMETYPE column in the sample query above holds the necessary setting for the 'content_type' i.e. 'image/jpeg'. The value of ID is then passed in as a parameter when calling the service e.g. emppic/1234. The item level help text would be more helpful if it included additional information, and this is something we intend on addressing in a future release.
I hope this example helps.

Hilary

Web Services for Oracle 8i

Is there any means for the Oracle 8i Platform to implement a Webservice to
access Business Logic in stored precedures?
We were evaluating IONA's XML Collaboration Suite and their Oracle Adaptor
but we are not satisfied with the level of control the adaptor provides.
Do you have any suggestions?
Best regards,
Andreas

Yes, you can publish stored procedures as Web services. Two approaches:
1. Check out the new Web services sample that came out the other day, example two where SQLJ is used to wrap a Java class as a stored procedure, the connection is then wired into the generated class and finally it is published as a Java Web service using Oracle9i JDeveloper 9.0.2. See:
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/web_services/
and look at the Tax Calculator viewlet/code.
2. This is essentially the same way that the OC4J PL/SQL Web service samples work too (using SQLJ to generate a Java PL/SQL proxy), but the OC4J sample (url below), provides a more parametric way to pass the connection information to the proxy by using a parameter in the web.xml file. Check out:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/oc4j/how-to-web-services.zip
See the readme and work with the sample in plsqlws.zip
This one is a both better and worse from a developers perspective compared to the first Oracle9i Jdeveloper oriented example. The good part, depending on your perspective, is that it is all command line based (some people like this, some people don't) and uses the longer term approach to publishing stored procedures as Web services for Oracle9iAS with the parameters passed in via the web.xml. The bad part is the example is a little hard to follow because many of the pieces are already created for you rather than explaining how they were created. The first example at least shows pretty much all the steps but doesn't quite elegantly solve the connection problem that the OC4J sample does.
In July/August, Oracle9i JDeveloper will be updated to publish stored procedures using the Oracle9iAS infrastructure (basically the web.xml fix) ... although once you understand it, it is fairly easy to manually do it inside of JDeveloper.
Hope this gets you going.
Mike.

Use case for describing a web service

Dear all,
I have a fundamental question for describing a web service.
An analyst will first write (1) a use case for describing the web service and (2) wsdl and xsd files for describing the web service.
As a developer, I would say that artifact (2) is enough. As an analyst, I would still need to document the requirement in the format of use case specification. However, it is not clear for me what should be put in this use case specification and what is the added value of such a use case.
Have you any sample example of this kind of use case in order to describe a web service?
Thanks in advance.

Have you any sample example of this kind of use case in order to describe a web service?First, searching Google will show you millions of use cases you can use as examples. Second, why would you think writing a use case for a Web Service would be any different than any other use case?Sorry for posting twice. I thought the first one failed due to a system error but I was wrong.
From millions of use case I can not find a "good" one.
I have in fact two conceptual questions:
1. I have not much to say about the flow of events. It is simply a request and a response. This is much simpler than a "normal" use case. Am I right?
2. However, I don't know where to put the description of business logic: 2.1 the data sets to be put in the request and response; 2.2 the business logic to construct the response from the request.
I would appreciate any hint or discussion.

Problem generating stubs for Java EJB web service deployed in OAS

I created an EJB web service and I've successfully deployed it in my Oracle App Server. Some of the methods work fine but others produce the ff error:
org.apache.soap.SOAPException - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No Serializer found to serialize [classname] using encoding style [encoding]It seems that the objects specified as parameters in the web service methods exposed are the only ones that had stubs generated for them. Other objects I use, which are usually wrapped inside a Vector, did not have generated stubs.
Example:
public String loginUser(UserDTO userDTO) throws RemoteException, NamingException, SQLException;
public String addItems (Vector vecItems) throws RemoteException, NamingException, SQLException; // where vecItems is a collection of ItemDTO objects In this scenario, stubs were generated for the UserDTO class, but not for the ItemDTO class. In effect, calling the addItems method resulted to the exception I mentioned above.
I did a workaround wherein I declared a dummy method which accepted all the types of objects I needed as parameters so all the necessary stubs can be generated, but this fix doesn't feel like it's the proper solution to my problem.
If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Issue in creating web service for a ABAP Function Module

Hi,
now i'm learning how to create web service for a ABAP Function Module. I used the following steps.
1. select the Function Module, named "zws_test".
2. in the context menu, select "create->proxy object". so we enter into wizard.
3. in the wizard, press the radio button "Service Provider".
4. in the next page, press the radio button "Existing ABAP Objects(Inside Out)".
5. In the next page, Enter the "zws_test_prvider" as Service Definition and select "Function Module" as Endpoint Type.
6. in the next page, enter "zws_test" as Function Module and mark the "Mapping der Namen" button
7. in the next page,select "PRF_DT_IF_SEC_LOW" as Profile and mark "Deploy Service".
8. Save in the local package.
9. then it will pop up a window with title "WSDL Source". i selected "URL/HTTP Destination" and press "OK".
10.in the next page, i enter the URL as "http://hostname:portnumber/", and press "OK".
11. then it will pop up a window with title "Display logs". A record with error message "HTTP error(return code 404, message "Not found")" appears.
12. i press "ok" and a service provider with name "zws_test_prvider" appears in my local package.
13. i use "zws_test_prvider"'s URL to create a service consumer "ZCO_WS_TEST_CONSUMER" and logic portal "LP1".
14. But when i test my service consumer "ZCO_WS_TEST_CONSUMER", it will throw an exception "cx_ai_system_fault" with errortext "SOAP:14 Unexpected element -el=definitions ns=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/".
15. I use t-code SM59 to test connection and get the following info.
      Status HTTP Response     200
      Status Text                      OK
      Duration Test Call             328 ms.
who can give me the reasons about item 11 and 14, and explain me how to create service provider and service consumer for a Function Module.
Thanks in advance
