Slow response when using Xcelsius web service connection witn input values

We've been very successful in using the Xcelsius Web Service Connection. We've recently moved forward toward using input values when calling a web service and having issues with response time. Without input values, it takes 3 - 6 seconds to retrieve and display the results in Xcelsius, but, when using the input values to the web service, it takes about 27 seconds for Xcelsius to retrieve and display the results. Does anyone have experience with fixing slow response associated with using input values for a web service connection?

Hi Sharone,
What's the version of your Xcelsius and BOBJ server?
I'm asking because using the last version of BOBJ server (BOXI 3.1 SP 3) you have new services on CMC just to help Xcelsius to work better with WebServices.
Regards,
Rodrigo.

Web Service Connection Date Input Values Converted to Number

I am using a Web Service Connection that has an input value called 'ModifiedOn' that is a date type. The problem that I have is that instead of sending a date string like '2008-08-04' it sends a number '39665' as the input to the web service method instead. Is there a way to force a date string to be returned instead of the number?
Here is the XML that is being sent to the web service method from Xcelsius:

Hi Aaron,
You may want to try formatting the cell of "ModifiedOn" to a TEXT format instead of date to get yyyy/mm/dd formatting to appear.
It seems that Xcelsius automatically converts any type of date-specific formatting (as specified from Excel) to a date serial, which is what you are seeing here.
Hope that works.

Slow response when calling a web service from an ADF client in JDev 11g

I have generated a web service (WS) for a stored procedure package with 3 functions. The WS has less than 1 second response times when I use the standard WS testing facility. I then created a data control for the WS selecting the default values in the JDev wizard. When I test the functions from a very basic ADF client the response times for the same functions are between 3-4 seconds i.e. very SLOW compared to the actual response time of WS. I need some advice on how to investigate this performance degredation as seen from the ADF client.
Could the problem be that the data control was created from a web service in the same project? Maybe it is necessary to have them in separate projects or create a proxy?
I created and tested the web service with the standard WS test tool and then simply went on to create a data control from this web service for use from a ADF client.
Some background info:
I saw the following warning in step 8 of the WS creation wizard:
"The configured policy store location at "C:\Oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\j2ee\home\gmds" is invalid. Application cannot read policies from this location. Check that the directory name is correct and the location exists."
Also I can confirm that there is no j2ee directory in my environment.
The application server logs the following for each call from the ADF client:

Find solution. Check this thread:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/wdjava/faq%2b-%2bmodels%2b-%2badaptive%2bweb%2bservice
The com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.api.IWDWSInvocationModifier interface can be implemented by an application using the Adaptive Web Service model in order to modify the web service invocation object just before it's execution. Invocation modifiers need to be registered with the executable model class for which invocation is to be modified:
Request_NumberToWords requestMO = new Request_NumberToWords(model);
requestMO.wdSetInvocationModifier(
new IWDWSInvocationModifier() {
    public void doModifyInvocation(Object port) {
      HTTPControlInterface httpItf = HTTPControlFactory.getInterface(port);
      //timeout for this WS invocation is 120 sec; don't use global config. setting of WS-Runtime
      httpItf.setSocketTimeout(120000);
    public void doModifyAfterInvocation() {}

Using Encrypted Web Service connections within Xcelsius 2008 SP1 - FP3

Hi all,
I'm running the latest version of Xcelsius Server 2008 and have setup a simplistic dashboard that uses 4 web service connections to dynamically call queries within a SQL Server 2008 database. The dashboard has been exported to html and I can serve this to the WWW.
I have since created a new https website (using a self signed certificate) and can now serve my Xcelsius dashboard via https. My problem is that I have had to run my old website in parallel (as it serves the said non-encrypted web service) which is linked within the swf source (that is running on the new https enabled website).
Upon trying to alter my existing xlf file so that it references the encrypted web service URL (which works fine via the browser) it prompts me to accept the self signed certificate. Once I click yes, and then add the certificate to the certificate store the whole thing locks up and I am forced to close Xcelsius.
Am I right in thinking that Xcelsius will not accept self signed certificates or encrypted web services at all? For me this is big security concern because if I want to share my dashboard via the WWW I have to accept the fact that I need to run an unsecure web service.
Is this something that is only supported in Xcelsius Enterprise?
TIA

Hello Paul,
Sorry not to have replied to this sooner.
We have had experience of hosting Xcelsius Dashboards using Https: for one of our clients here at Flynet.
We noticed a number of issues , we did have problems relating to the Firewall on our Gateway server for example. We also had issues with the number of active connections processed when the dashboard is running. I think the default for Https: is 2 , so the connections can be queued up. Have you retried with one connection open. The Dashboard we did however did have up to 12 connections, so Xcelsius can handle multiple connections.
When developing the Dashboards using Xcelsius I did have to import using the Web Service URL of the remote server which was Https: However due to issues sometimes with our Gateway Firewall and the way our Local Network had to access the https: URL , what I tended to do was develop using a localhost Web service and then switch the URL to use the https: Web Service once the dashboard was exported to the server it was to be hosted on.
What we did notice for example is that we could have a dashboard running locally quite happily using the https: web services which are actually on [http://www.flynetviewer.com] then we would start getting #2 type flash errors. To solve this we had to restart our Windows Firewall on our gateway server. We could run the dashboard fine if run from our web site.
I am not sure if the issues you have are related to this. I have had problems when I had to import the https: web service URL on my local machine , I am prompted for the Username password for the Https: location , but when trying to import Xcelsius has a problem and exits. Due to these problems I tended to use a local Web service when developing. I know this isn't always practical.
I was running on Vista 64 bit , but I also have XP and Server 2003 running on Virtual machines.
I will be happy to share information my experiences with you.
Best Regards,
Ian Learmonth
Flynet
Updated to add: I have just successfully imported an https: Web service. Mapped it to the dashboard , run it and invoked sucessfully. This was on Windows XP professional SP2.
I did the same thing on Windows Vista 64 bit and had an issue. So not sure what operating system you are using or whether it's a Certificate thing. I can try and find out a bit more on our Certificate if you need to find out what the issue is.
The Vista issue seems to have been resolved by running Xcelsius as Administrator.
When successfully importing I was prompted for the Username and Password for the URL but not the Certificate.

Applying report filter when using OBIEE web services

Hi
Would like to know if it's possible apply report filter when using the web serivce ? Read from Oracle doc that there's this applyReportParams() method in ReportEditingService that could do the job. Can anyone confirm this ?
Currently we've tried to access the report using the WebCatalogService, read the xml and retrieve the result using the XMLViewService successfully. However there's an additional requirement to pass in the report filter on the fly.
Thanks in advance

Hi Gerardnico,
I have a question regarding the OBIEE Web Services,
We are using C # for Automation code to test Obiee Analysis Web Services,while designing filter in C # to call report we are facing difficulty with Presentation Variable using Variable value. Where as it is working fine for Column value.
Note: The choice list has 2 custom values.
So please guide me in this regard.

All of the web services were created in SOAManager if that is what you mean by setting them up in SAP PI.
I'm guessing that the HTTP Code 200: OK means they are working correctly.

WRT54G VER 6 delayed response when using the web (Old WRT54G VER 2 works fine)

Very strange problem. I have had a 2yr old WRT54G VERSION 2 and it (still) works perfectly except I broke the antenna (I don't even use the wireless side). I just got a new WRT54G VERSION 6 and am having weird problems with it. I have the same problem with THREE DIFFERENT REV 6's (Staples hates me by now) but the old REV 2 always works fine when I swap it back in:
With the REV 6 version when I click on any web link or web site from My Favorites there is like a 5-10 second delay before anything connects. Just dead air for 5-10 seconds with ANY click of the mouse in IE7. When I swap back the old REV 2 version the connection is immediate and fine. If I do a PING it takes 5-10 seconds for the ping to start then it goes fine with the REV 6 but the REV 2 pings out immediately. Same problem with speed-tests. It takes 5-10 seconds to start but the results are fine on the VERSION 6 but the VERSION 2 is fine. I tried the latest firmware and the settings are the same on both router versions. I find it hard to believe I have 3 bad WRT54G REV6 routers but yet the old VER2 one continues to work fine. Comcast says it isn't their problem (and I agree) yet 3 bad routers seems highly unlikely.
One thing I have noted. The INTERNET light on the Version 2 WRT54G blinks at a "leisurely" pace, but the INTERNET light on the 3 VERSION 6's all blink at a tremendously fast rate, probably 5x faster then the REV 2.
For now I'm back to the old Version 2 WRT54G.
Any ideas why 3 Version 6's basically don't work and an old VER2 works absolutely fine (except for the broken antenna).
All routers have most recent firmware updates.
Message Edited by MisterEd on 01-30-200711:02 PM

Has to do with the version 6 routers lack of memory, it gets overloaded with packets so it slows down or just stops working. Usually unplugging and plugging back in temporarily fixes it. Do a google search for versions 5 and 6 you will see its a common problem.
The reason your version 2 works better is it has twice the memory. After version 4 they switched from Linux operating system to VXWorks. Supposedly works better with less required memory. Can they be more wrong? LOL
If you want the same performance out of a WRT54G series router look at getting a WRT54GL v1.1. Made with the same specs as versions 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Just checked my GL, coming up on 50 days online without a reboot.

Web Service Connection on fresh SUM formula is zero

I am using Xcelsius SP1. I have a field in the spreadsheet that has the formula "=SUM(H12:H16)". I am using a Web Service Connection to refresh the data. Following a refresh from the web service connection the field with the SUM formula is 0. I have discovered that ff the values in SUM range (in my case H12:H16) are identical to the refrehsed data then the formulas results willl be 0. If one of the sum values is different from the original values then the sum formula works. Is this a bug? Is there a work around?

I had a problem with the data format after getting number-values from my web-service, because every number-value I got was not a number - it was a string.
so I had to convert all the data in Excel from string to number values. after that everything works fine for me.
you could try that out....

Calculations in Xcelsius using data generated by a Web Service Connection

Hi,
I have set up a web service connection to pull in 4 columns of data: 1. CATEGORY 2. SUBCATEGORY 3. PRODUCT TYPE   4.#OFCALLS. There will be anywhere from 1 to 500 rows of data depending on day of week and time of day. The web service sorts the list by #OFCALLS descending. The OUTPUT VALUES of the web service connection are mapped to cells A19:D518.
Formulas in the spreadsheet take the Top 10 from the list and populate it to cells A4:D13. A formula in cell D15 sums the #OFCALLS for the entire web service connection output (A19:D518).
The data in A4:D15 is mapped to a spreadsheet table on my canvas.   When the report generates, the data from the TOP 10 of the web service connection populates properly, but the cell that should reflect the TOTAL#OFCALLS (D15) shows zero.
Is it not possible to do additional calculations in the spreadsheet based on data generated by the web service connection? A major difference between using an XML Map and a Web Service Connection is the XML Map actually populates the spreadsheet with the new data when it is refreshed. The Web Service connection data never actually appears in the spreadsheet itself, even though it updates to the appropriate vessel on the canvas.   This makes me think that no additional calculations can be done in the spreadsheet based on the web service connection data.
Can anyone tell me if that is correct? If so, then the web service connection would also have to pull in the TOTAL#OFCALLS along with the other data.   This would also seem to greatly limit what you could do with data generated by a web service connection, so I am hoping I am wrong and just don't understand how to do this.
Can anyone clarify this for me? If I failed to give any pertinent info let me know what it is, and I will update my post.
Thanks!

I have seen similar behavior as well. I have live data coming into Xcelsius from a data connection.
A supported Excel formula
=IF(ISBLANK(J2),I2,VALUE(TODAY()-J2))
is then applied to one of the columns to create an additional derived column.
Taking a snapshot of the data shows that the derived column is being populated, however the controls I've tried hooking up to the derived column (charts and labels) are always empty.
Information on whether this is supported would be appreciated.
Thank you,
David

"Unable to log URL" error when importing WSDL into Web Service connection

Hello Experts
I'm using Xcelsius Engage and I'd like to use Web Service connection.
I've developed my own Web service (that is using 2 other web service inside it).
and now I'm trying to import it into the Xcelsius (connection --> Web service connection).
And I get the follwoing error:
"Unable to log URL"
When I browse to my wsdl file in IE the file is loaded with no problem.
When trying to import other URLs it also works fine (for example: http://www.xignite.com/xFinancials.asmx?wsdl)
Any idea?
Thanks,
Miki

Hi Matt
Thanks a lot!!!
Indeed the solution was in the follwoing thread:
VB.net code to create XML
Parsing the query result fixed the problem.
For others who might have the same problem:
Here's a working web service (C# code, for vb code follow the link to the thread above):
public Service () {
    public struct QueryResult
      public string SlpName;
      public string Commission;
    [WebMethod]
public QueryResult[] RunQuery()
      // Open Connection - Query Data from DB table - Close connection
      SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=SBODemoUS");
      SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(
        "SELECT SlpName, Commission FROM OSLP", connection);
      DataTable DT_QryResult = new DataTable();
      adapter.Fill(DT_QryResult);
      connection.Close();
      // Parse data to be forward to Xcelsius
      QueryResult[] QryRes = null;
      QryRes = new QueryResult[DT_QryResult.Rows.Count];
      int i=0;
      foreach (DataRow row in DT_QryResult.Rows)
        QryRes<i>.SlpName = row["SlpName"].ToString();
        QryRes<i>.Commission = row["commission"].ToString();
        i++;
      return QryRes;
Best regards,

Error connecting to Salesforce using a Web Service Adapter

Hi,
I'm working on a connection from Data Services 4.2 to Salesforce using a Web Service Adapter.
I've setup up the adapter (including JVM parameters to use a HTTP proxy), created a Datastore based on the adapter and built a batch job that calls the login operation and initiates a sessions towards Salesforce.
When I execute the batch job I get an error message that says:
Error calling function <login>: <Web Services client unable to create a SOAP request to send to server. Error: The current node has been removed using a method other than Iterator#remove()>.
The trace log for the Web Service Adapter contains the same error message and has some additional info.

Web Service Connection in Xcelsius 2008

I have recently upgraded from 4.5 to Xcelsius 2008 and am having trouble getting the Web Service Connections set up correctly for my QaaWS.
I have 7 LiveOffice connections in a model that seem to all refresh on load fine and i have already set up a Web Service Connection that picks up the drill through path of what the user has clicked on and used them as input parameters to a QaaWS query.
I now need to add another Web Service Connection for another QaaWS and i get the following error message;
"Unable to Load URL"
I have checked the available QaaWS services using dswsbobje/qaawsservices and the 2 queries appear as i would expect.
I have checked the dsws.properties file and the user name and password are correct (which i would expect as teh 1st connections works in the Xcelsius model.
I have restarted the Tomcat server and CMS and this does not cure the problem.
I have even tried re-installing QaaWS.
I have installed SP1 fix 1 for 2008. I am currently using XIR2 SP2.
Can anyone help as sometimes this functionality works and sometimes it does not. The 2 queries i want to use point aty teh ssame database and BO Universe.

Hi Anthony,
You might check that type of the licence type of the user QaaWSPrincipal. I had a problem where the QaaWSPrincipal user was Concurrent Access License while my server was Named User only. Switching to Named User resolved the problem.
However, I am not sure that this is your issue as the you have one QaaWAS url working. YOu might want to check your URL is available
try
http://<name of server>:<Tomcat port number>/dswsbobje/qaawsservices
This contains a list of all URLs. Finally, you might look at importing the wsdl into other applications to see if the issue is Xcelsius or QaaWS related. You can copy to MS Office InfoPath with steps described below.

Maximum no of Web service connections in xcelsius?

Hi,
How many maximum webservice connections can we have for a single xcelsius dashboard for different BW queries? I am using xcelsius enterprise 2008. Build number is 12,3,0,670.
Thanks in advance,
Shreesh.

Hello Shreesh,
I do not think there is any actual limitation on Xcelsius on the number of web service connections you can define.
You should rather consider performance & scalability, as under HTTP 1.1 there is at most two concurrent HTTP requests to be handled at the same time. Besides, this total number of web service connections should be scaled to the total number of concurrent users you expect playing with the dashboard vs. the performance of the application server(s) from which those web services will be deployed...
Hope that helps,
David.

Exception when trying to run an Web Application that uses a Web service

Hello All,
I get an exception when trying to run an Web Application that uses a Web service. The web application is a WebDynpro Application.(an application similar to the one "Using an Email Web Service in Web Dynpro" in the tutorial section of Web Dynpro but using a different web service)
The exception is
<b>Service call exception; nested exception is: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (404) Not Found.</b>
Could anyone give me an idea on what might be the problem ?
Regards,
Loveline.

Hello,
Like you said it was the problem with url.
The webservice I used is actually running on the local machine (where the NetWeaver developer studio is installed); so in the url I had specified localhost. But I deployed the application on another server(SAP J2EE Engine). That is why it didn't work. On changing the url as required, the application is working fine.
Thanks !
Regards,
Loveline.

Very slow start when initially entering the service ticket in Web UI (2007)

We seem to encounter a very slow start when initially entering the service ticket in Web UI (2007). Once in all seems speedy enough. I don't have my access arrange for the Service marketplace (OSS notes) yet so can't check if there is a known solution, which I suspect there is. Has anyone encountered this problem and possibly resolved it?.
Jason.

Previous posts have highlighted the following notes:

581316 BSP Delta-Handling for CRM (BASIS 620 SP17)
However, I was wondering whether anyone has come across any other small changes that may have a major effect. A quick-win I guess you call it. From bitter experience I know there are rarely quick wins when it comes to optimisation due to the amount of re-testing etc.
But any further advice would be welcome.
