Use the RF-WebService in Microsoft Infopath

Hi All,
how you can read in the headline I'm trying to use the RepositoryFramework-Web Service in an Infopath-Form.
For that I use the url (in my case http://frel0021:50100/RepositoryFrameworkWS/Config1?wsdl&style=document) in the Data Connection Assistent of MS Infopath.
But I get the following Error-Message:
+WSDLOperation:The Operation "checkIn" contains an invalid attribut. HRESULT=0x80004005: Unknown Error
- WSDLOperation:Error when Initializing incoming message for Operation "checkIn". HRESULT=0x80004005: Unknown Error
- WSDLPort:Es konnte keine Operation für Anschluss "Config1Port_Document" initialisiert werden. HRESULT=0x80004005: Unknown Error
- WSDLPort:Error when analyzing the binding information for the connection "Config1Port_Document". HRESULT=0x80004005: Unknown Error
- WSDLService: Error when initializing the connection to the service "RepositoryFrameworkWS". HRESULT=0x80004005: Unknown Error
- WSDLReader:Error when analizing the WSDL-File. HRESULT=0x80004005: Unknown Error+
Any ideas how I can resolve the problem, or any experiences with SAP Web Services and Infopath?
Many thanks
Steve

Hi,
ok I must say its not possible to access these web services without coding.
Have a look at these document:
More general: http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/0/2/a023924c-86c5-42ac-8bfb-0f31cf3c7467/Integrating_MS_Forms_with_SAP_V1.pdf

Hope it helps...

Using the MDM webservices

Hey guys,
I want to use some of the webservices provided by MDM (i.e. the Create-, the Update- and the Search-Service). And I want to use all three services inside one EJB.
Now I face the problem that some packages I have to import to be able to use the services are colliding with each other.
If I want to use the SEARCH-Service for example, I have to create an object of type 'RepositoryInformation' which is needed as an import parameter for this service. The same parameter is needed by the CREATE-Service. So the object I have to create for the CREATE-Service is of type 'RepositoryInformation' too. But now I have to reference the 'RepositoryInformation' class from the CREATE-Service (the one I used before (from the SEARCH-Service) is not accepted by the CREATE-Service). Now if I try to import the appropriate package I get an error message saying that these package collides with the one from the SEARCH-Service.
Is this some kind of bug in the MDM webservices implementation? Does anyone have some ideas about that?
Thanks for all answers!
Regards,
Torben

Have you tried to restart the webServices only? on the portal side, I think you can do it on the Visual Administrator.

How do I use the copy function in microsoft outlook email?, How do I use the copy function in microsoft outlook email?

I can get into my Microsoft Outlook email on my Ipad2. It will not allow me to copy parts of the email to paste into a program called Papermate that I use for my blog. Can this be done?

I've copied and pasted between programs. You hold your finger down in the text window or over the text until a little balloon pops up to copy or select all. You will also see two little blue dots, those are 'handles' that you can use to expand the selection box. Select what you want then choose copy
I've then gone into another program, held down my finger in the text box to bring up the 'paste' option and the text transfers

I use the MAIL app with Microsoft Exchange server- prob with attachments

Occasionally I get an email in MAIL that I KNOW has an attachment but it doesn't appear in my MAIL client. I see no attachment icon at all. I have to go to WEB-MAIL to retrieve it and sure enough it's there. Has anyone else encountered MAIL's idiosyncratic behavior in this regard?
Another "sometimes" problem is with HTML emails. Sometimes they come in with no graphics, mostly text, lines etc, and sometimes they even look like CODE.
I think (hope) these things will be solved with Snow Leopard, but in the meantime... Anyone?

I gave up on mail for exchange and use Entourage for my exchange mail - not helpful I'm afraid but mail simply does not work well with exchange in my experience (and in lots of other's)

XML DB Web Services for Microsoft Infopath

Hi all,
I am trying to publish few webservices that will be used to desing forms in Microsoft Infopath.
Unfortunatelly, I get an error in Infopath whenever I try to connect to database.
http://servv407:8000/orawsv/INFOPATH/GET_DESCRIPTION?wsdl
"Infopath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web Service description"
WSDLOperation:The operation GET_DESCRIPTION had an invalid parts attribute HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified error
- WSDLOperation:Initializing of the input message failed for operation GET_DESCRIPTION HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified error
- WSDLPort:An operation for port GET_DESCRIPTIONPort could not be initialized HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified error

- WSDLService:Initialization of the port for service GET_DESCRIPTIONService failed HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified error
- WSDLReader:Analyzing the WSDL file failed HRESULT=0x80004005: Unspecified error
have anyone succeded to use native XMLDB services for Infopath ? is that possible ?
help will be appreciated. Thank you.

I reproduced the issue on InfoPath 2007, using the WSDL for this little test function :
create or replace function fnc_test(p_str in varchar2) return varchar2
deterministic
is
begin
return p_str || '-OK';
end;Looks like a "dirty" workaround but it works if I save a local copy of the WSDL and remove the "parts" attributes from these elements :
   <operation name="FNC_TEST">
      <soap:operation
soapAction="FNC_TEST"/>
      <input>
        <soap:body parts="parameters" use="literal"/>
      </input>
      <output>
        <soap:body parts="parameters" use="literal"/>
      </output>
    </operation>
...Then I'm able to validate the data source and bind the output to a field.
However, I got further connection issues in trying to actually retrieve the data from the webservice.
Tell me if that works for you.

Dynamic PDF Forms vs Microsoft InfoPath Forms

Can someone advice me why we should use Dynamic PDF Forms vs Microsoft InfoPath forms?
Thank you

For anyone in the future who has a similar issue, I've come up with a fairly simple workaround. It adds an extra step of work, but it allows you to continue using dynamic forms in your workflow.
The ideal solution is if your office has a server-side adobe document output service. You can push your form to the server, have it extract the data into a datawarehouse, then output a flattened .pdf. A flattened .pdf cannot be (easily) edited, and all code behind is removed. This solution is the 'best', (and it's the only way to flatten an xfa form, as far as Adobe is concerned) but it also costs some coin, especially if you don't have any existing infrastructure to support the server-side service.
The free solution (which I have opted for) is to use a virtual printer to 'print' the document to a suitable format. There are many free virtual printers out there, but I have decided to go with CutePDF Writer. I print to the CutePDF writer, and the output is, essentially, a flattened Blackberry compatible .pdf form. The only issue is that you cannot edit a flattened document (a bonus in my situation, but still something to keep in mind... You can still edit the original document, as the flattened .pdf is a copy, not a transformation.)
You can even add a print button to the form with some JavaScript to specify the printer as 'CutePDF Writer'. Altogether, it's easier than recreating all of the business forms that have been made in a static format, and you can still leverage all the benefits of a dynamic form.
I know that this isn't central to the Blackberry, and I apologize for that, but I had a rough time with this issue, and I'm hoping to help someone with the same issue in the future. Again, thanks to those who helped.

Using the WSDL Introspection

I'm trying to use the Import Webservice to consume some .net
webservices (specifically the Windows SharePoint Services WSDL's).
I was able to walk through importing the webservices fairly simply,
and Flex Builder acurately mapped all of the available methods and
created a ton of .as files in the generated/webservices folder.
My question is, now how do I actually use them in my Flex
app. I am somewhat of a beginner with making SOAP calls. Any tips
or basic hello world demo's would probably go a long way. Can I
access the dotnet web services without having some sort of AMF to
.Net server in the middle?
Thanks

Hi'
I am also using the Import Web Service wizard. For very
simple cases it works but for web services where it receives a
complex wsdl type I got the following error:

This is quiet urgent issue . Any help would be really helpful.. Thanks..

Hi Marlene,
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
But I am not creating a custom workflow in designer as Laura has mentioned. I am instead trying to create a new Out of the box Approval Workflow and I get the error mentioned above.
As it works in other environment, I tried figuring out the possible differences which can lead to this error.
Today I found one difference which is there are no form Templates within Infopath Configurations in Central Admin. Now I am trying to figure out what makes this form templates to be added to the template gallery.

Using WebService from Microsoft Reporting Service(MSRS)

Hi,
I want to invoke the web service from MSRS Report. Below is the details of my environment.
Web service is deployed on the local machine.
MS Report Server : SQL Server 2012 Reporting Service
Designer Tool Used : Visual Studio 2010
I have created a sample report in MSRS side, which should call getXXX, a web service method in XXXService(webService).
I created the datasource of Type "XML" in Visual Studio, and given connectionString
as "http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/XXXService".
I created the dataset in Visual Studio, using datasource in previous step and used the below Query
to pass the request to the WebService.
<Query>
   <Method Name="getXXX"

   </Method>
</Query>
or
<Query>

Hi Sridhar Singh,
According to your description, you created one web services and one web method, when you use it as data source, you got the error message.
To retrieve data from XML data source, the connection string must be a URL that points to the Web service, Web-based application, or XML document available through HTTP. XML documents must have the XML extension. The connection string syntax for a Web service
is http://servername /service.aspx.
In this case, please make sure that the web service is published successfully through url. Then we use the query like below:
<Query>
<Method Namespace=" http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/" Name="XXXService"></Method>
</Query>
In addition, the XML data processing extension does not detect the schema for us. Therefore, we must have some way of discovering which SOAP methods will retrieve the data that we want. The default SoapAction for the case is like below:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/XXXService</SoapAction>
</Query>
For more information about XML Connection Type, please refer to the following document:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220468(v=sql.110).aspx

SP2013 - What better to use for custom webservice creation, which will be save filled in Infopath form to sharepoint library

Client use SharePoint 2013. I have to develop a custom webservice for this SharePoint. Webservice will receive some information as request, will fill in a InfoPath form (on based existing infopath template from library) with this information and save result
to SharePoint library.
Could advice how it right organize? What is better to use for custom webservice in SharePoint 2013 (REST api or something else), how better fill in and save infopath form to library?
thanks

Hi,
In SharePoint 2013, you can still reference the way what it used to be in SharePoint 2010 or previous version.
The two demos would also work in SharePoint 2013:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jannemattila/archive/2007/01/21/infopath-and-web-service-data-connection.aspx
http://wmostafaw.wordpress.com/2012/08/07/calling-web-service-from-infopath-2010-with-parameters/
If the customer just want an interactive form for easy input, there are also other options in SharePoint 2013 like:
Customization on the default form pages of a list using JavaScript Client Object Model;
Create a SharePoint App which will enable you implement more complex requirements with Client Object Model and REST API, you can even upload it to the App store to share it with
other people.
