SOAP request to XI via external application

Hi,
We have the following scenario:
there is 3rd party application (Sending SOAP Request)->SAP XI->IDOC
We are using sender SOAP Adapter,we have done the following:
->We have generated WSDL by using define webservice from Integration Directory.
->We have provided wsdl to 3rd party.
->We have a question
3rd Party application is a java based application based on OAS(Oracle Application Server).
The application, should act as a SOAP Client sending a SOAP request to XI.
Would this be possible? The XI version which is being used here is XI 7.0 SP 18.

Harleen Kaur Chadha

How do you harness URL external application in a JSP?

I have successfully deployed the Yahoo Finance sample URL External Application. However, I do not understand how to utilize the URL classes (in the pdkjava.jar) to harness the external application information once a user has authenticated. I am building a JSP portlet that displays and applet, however the applet requires a username and password. I need to get the Username and Password from external application, which it gets from the user via External Application. How do I get these values in my JSP (that is defined in my provider.xml)? I keep seeing documentation regarding the ExternalPrincipal object however I don't understand how to utilize this object in my JSP. I beleive the ExternalPrincipal object is what I need in my JSP, seeing that it has the methods for getting the user and password. Unless is there a better way of achieving this, can anyone shed some light on getting the ExternalPrincipal object for an External Application session?
Thanks,
Laith E.H.

Thanks for the example. I have a better understanding now, however I'm still having trying to comprehend the flow of executing in this portal model.
I have a problem with:
PortletRenderRequest pr = (PortletRenderRequest) request.getAttribute("oracle.portal.PortletRenderRequest");
ProviderUser prUser = pr.getUser();
ProviderSession pSession = prUser.getSession(true);
I get a NullPointerException on the second line when trying to getUser(). I'm not sure where the problem could be. In the provider.xml, my ExternalProviderInstance, or the JSP itself? I have another JSP portlet on the same page that calls the same method with success.
Thanks,

Problem with Web Clipping and External Application

When I use Web clipping with INLINE rendering on usual sites I can move under links, not leaving a portal.
But if I try to make it via the self-made provider with External Application then links do not work.
I press them and it appear in the same place!
Authorization via External Application passes successfully, that is the page is displayed correctly.
But links do not work.
In what there can be a problem?
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

In order to prevent some urls and internal websites from being cached use url bypassing. This way these urls will not be cached and the users can directly use them without being asked to log in.
To enable transparent error handling and dynamic authentication bypass, and to configure static bypass lists, use the bypass global configuration command. To disable the bypass feature, use the no form of the command.

SOAP Request by OdiInvokeWebService with WebSphereMQ

Hello,
I'm refering the OdiInvokeWebService manual, and noticed that ODI can communicate with SOAP by OdiInvokeWebService. Can the OdiInvokeWebService receive SOAP request from WebSphereMQ via SOAP? Has anyone tried it?
Regards,

HI,
OdiInvokeWebService is a dynamic SOAP web services client. It could invoke all SOAP web services including Websphere webservices.
OdiInvokeWebService isn't a webservices server, it can receive SOAP request, maybe you would talk about Odi Public Web Services or Odi data services ?

Web Service posting via SOAP.request - Security settings prevent access...

I'm trying to call a web service via the SOAP.request object in javascript embedded into my Interactive Form. I've successfully done this with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 trial version however now I'm having this issue on a production setup. The PDF generates fine and I can fill out the form and everything. I checked the properties of both PDF documents (one that works from the trial and one that doesn't from the prod box) and they are the same, expect the one that works is PDF Version 1.6, and the one that doesn't is PDF Version 1.7.

Michael,
PDF Version 1.6 means Adobe Reader 7.0.x family and PDF version 1.7 means Adobe Reader 8.0.x or 9.0.x if I am not wrong.
Also if you check LiveCycle Designer Help (Using LiveCycle Designer ES > Working with Data Sources > About data sources > Working with data connections) it clearly says that with LiveCycle Designer 8.0 secured web services are not supported and there are additional security settings for Reader 8.0 onwards, that may be causing the issue.

WS Addressing elements in a SOAP request sent via SOAP sender adapter

Hi guys,
I have a requirement (Proxy->PI->SOAP) for sending a soap request using the WS addressing elements in the request header. As I went through a documentation to SOAP sender adpter there is no option for this. WS-A is supported in the WS adapter, but the target web service does not support WS-RM, so this is not an option.
Do you have any hint?
Thanks,
Peter

You can create your own SOAP header in mapping or use Axis framework for this.

Updating external application password via API?

Gurus,
I may happen that someone else did ask that question before, but I could'nt find an answer within the last few weeks.
The question is if there's a away to update the lightweight user's preferences for an external application? The background is that we need to set up password changes for External applications automatically.
Thanks for your help!!

Detlef, it's officially not supported, but take a look at sso/ssopsex.pks

Extract data from BW ODS to external application

Hello,
We have the following interface challenge:
We need to interface data from an ODS to an external application. The request for this data comes from the external application and contains selection parameters.
The datasets are small and the responses need to be fast.
How to do this?
We do not want to use Query_data_view, it is not performing and contains too much meta data
Preferably we define a webservice either in BW or XI/PI that receives the request and send back the answer.
What are the possibilities/best practices?
Brokered or non-Brokered?(using XI or PI or just using an BW webservice)
Do we need to publish the webservice to an UDDI?
How do we extract the data from the ODS, via a Function module? If so i guess that FM can be made externally available and callable from XI/PI.
Does ehp1 provide more fucntionalities in this area than 7.00?
Does PI provide more functionalities than XI in this area?
Do we need proxies for this?
Thanks for any insights

Tom,
How to do this?
External application (SOAP request) <-> PI <-> SAP BW (ABAP Proxy response). Make both - web service and proxy - sync.
Preferably we define a webservice either in BW or XI/PI that receives the request and send back the answer.
What are the possibilities/best practices?
Web service will be defined in external application, proxy will be created in BW. Search on SDN for the detailed steps.
Brokered or non-Brokered?(using XI or PI or just using an BW webservice)
If you have PI as the integration hub, then prefer using PI.
Do we need to publish the webservice to an UDDI?
Not required.
How do we extract the data from the ODS, via a Function module? If so i guess that FM can be made externally available and callable from XI/PI.
Call the function module / any other extraction program from the proxy. No need to make FM externally available.
Does ehp1 provide more fucntionalities in this area than 7.00?
Does PI provide more functionalities than XI in this area?
Do we need proxies for this?
PI 7.1 EhP1 SP 6 is the latest, so it will definitely provide more functionality over older versions.
Yes, use proxy at BW side.
Hope this answers all your questions.

Neetesh

SSO and external applications

Hello folks,
Due to my inexperience with PS6, I'm looking for some high-level outline that will help me look in the right places and understand things better here.
I have an external application that requires authentication via a web form (or by attaching the username and password on the URL as parameters).
What I want to do is have a channel of this application and utilize information from the SSO mechanism to redirect the request to that remote app and provide the credentials for a transparent login.
From what I understand this can be done by having a servlet in that channel to retrieve the credentials of the user for that remote application from the SSO and then redirect to the external application, attaching the credentials to the URL.
Is the above correct? I would appreciate any pointers or considerations since my experience with PS is minimal.
Thanks in advance,
Manos

I don't see a way to that servlet to retrieve a password for the user - it's not stored in the session.
There are following options:
1. OpenText LiveLink way: You have some "hidden" password for every user (based on user's ID and a shared key) known only to your server and this servlet. Servlet will supply this password.
2. Normal way - web server: Implement login module to this application, which will trust REMOTE_USER variable provided by the agent on the web server.
3. Normal way - standalone app: Implement login module to this application which will validate DSAME session cookie on the DSAME server. You can use example code in the SUNWam/samples/ of your server.

Sending SOAP request from XI and writing a scheduler for this

Dear XI Experts,
My scenario is as follows.
We have two landscapes
1)     XI, R/3
2)     Client System(Remote, Other than SAP)
Now we have to pull the data from client system using WSDL (There will be one method for pulling the data in the WSDL file). The WSDL is provided by the client. We are importing that WSDL as external definition in Integration Repository and implementing the scenario SOAP to XI to RFC and configuring it Integration Directory.
Remember the client will not send the data to XI. Only we have to pull the data as mentioned above.
Problems:-
(i)     How to send SOAP request to the client using XI only?
(ii)     How to write a scheduler for this?
please help us.
Thanks...
Praveen Gujjeti

Ur Suggestion
"My proposition looks like that. in R/3 you have scheduled RFC call in some program. This RFC calls XI and XI is calling using SOAP adapter your client. Then response go back to your RFC and you can handle this data."
As you mentioned, I am not scheduling any RFC call in R/3. If you go through my first query u can find two points where I am having some doubts......
How to send SOAP request to the client using XI only? Is it possible to send a SOAP request from XI?
If so,
(ii) How to write a scheduler for this? So that it will invoke the webservice and get the data from client application(system)

SOA Soap request

Hi Friends,
Newer to soa suite 11g
1>I have craated small soa 11g app. i send small xml request in EM and I get xml response in EM TESTER. so far good (This is NOT how internet websites work. They work in HTML rendered in browser for Request and Response)
My question is, how does this behave in REAL world. Meaning, a website has a form that user would fill - in and submit. Then, what happens ? "Who and How" does those submitted form values get converted into XML format (ofcourse adhering to XSD) for my soa application to consume ? and How would the XML response coming from soa application again get converted into HTML so that the website user can view it in browser ?
2> Second, if I want to collect the submitted user values and create a XML, is it sufficient to use just XML (without referring to any XSD) and let it talk to the soa application (that talks to external webservice and gets the response). If not using any xsd then how do i MAP incoming request values to reference exposed webservice WSDL ? OR is it that XSD is must for the incoming SOAP request so that data mapping can be done with the referenced WSDL ?
thx
pp

Hi,
Regarding your first question, there are two ways to achieve your desired behaviour. The first one is to create a proxy, using that proxy to create a data control using the web service you have created, and then using an adf form, create a form, that you take care of the submission. In a similar way, you can capture the response back and display it as you would like.
You could create your own input form, and then create your xml request message (based on the web service schema) and submit it. Popular techniques include JAX-RPC, REST Services, etc. I believe this answers your second question. Calling synchronous web services is quite easy, as your just wait for a response. Calling asynchronous web services is a bit tricky if implemented programmatically.

Displaying OBIEE content inside a Div (part of HTML) of an external application/Web page

We are able get the particular catalog item say a Report/ Chart when a OBIEE go URL launched in a browser.
But what is the way to displaying the same chart/report content in my external application. I want display the OBIEE chart/report content as a part of my application web page on load?
How can i achieve that?
loading the content in an IFrame using Go URL didn't work? Im also dont want to that.
I tried sending request to the GO URL via jQuery AJAX. But it didnt Help.
I have tried also sending request to GO URL via Apache HTTP client to get the response content. But OBIEE server returned the following response
"Your browser is not supported by Oracle BI Presentation Services"
Any Help in this is appreciated?

The service WCM_PLACEHOLDER can not use JSPX templates (because it can only evaluate them as UCM can evaluate and UCM cannot evaluate the JSPX version SSXA is using).
WCM_PLACEHOLDER can work if you create an HCSP template but then you only have access to Idoc Script and not JSPX.
This is my understanding. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Adding an External Application that uses J2EE Form Based Security

I'm trying to add an External application that uses the J2EE Form based security. i.e. uses j_username, j_password and posts to j_security_check.
I don't really see how Oracle SSO will support this. The container needs to take control of a clients request and determines when the "Login" page is presented to establish credentials. Posting directly to j_security_check isn't working for me.
I'm using Sybase EAServer 4.12 as the external application.
Is this supported in Oracle SSO?
Do I need to provide a different mechanism for logging user's in?
Also, can someone explain what the benefit would be if I configured the EAServer app as a "Partner" app? I would still have to provide an interface for login. The input would be different but the end result would be the same I guess. What advantages does a Partner app have?
Lastly, is there an NNTP server for these forums?
Thanks.
Darrell

The cure for the symtops described below was to simply add a welcome-file-list
element with appropriate welcome pages to the web.xml descriptor. It makes sense
now that I have worked it out.
