Using MDM Web Services

Hi
Did any of you work on MDM Web Services? We have a requirement to search on MDM using the web services provided. The documentation talks about how to enable these web services in Netweaver stack but does not have a clue on how to access them using PI.
Can any one help? Below are the SAP documentation links for the same.

MDM Web Service authentication issue. How to use ?

Hi,
I' am a Microsoft technology person I' am working on integrating SAP MDM 7.1 to SharePoint 2010 using MDM Web Services interface and consuming the same in .NET custom component.
I tried the WS with "None" authentication and it worked great.
I' am having issues understanding how HTTPAuthentication with SAP Logon ticket authentication works in MDM.
Created the authentication enabled web service and while testing in NetWeaver WS Navigator, it throws me exception, not able to establish session with repository for user XYZ.
Please help me with the following queries I have:
1) How to test a authentication enabled web service in NetWeaver WS Navigator ? Do the user id/password needs to be set in the "Invocation Parameters" ? Link to any article etc will be appreciated.
2) How to pass the MDM user credentials (or just the username) in the MDM web service in .NET code. I didn't see any parameter in the Client class constructor to pass the same, nothing related to that found in the code that gets generated on adding the service reference.
As per the documentation on the MDM security, looks like a trust relationship also needs to be configured on MDM - allow.ip file entries.
However first I want to understand how to pass this information in Web Services through code.
SharePoint   -
(1)--> SAP PI -(2)--
> SAP MDM
(integrated with Active Directory                        (Where Web services are deployed     (have its own user accounts)
so logged in user is already authenticated)          and have its own user accounts)
The trust relationship configuration could solve the problem of authentication marked in second hop (2) by registering the IP address of PI server.
Please help me understand how would it work to solve the first hop (1) problem and what needs to be done.
Thanks,
Parvinder

Thanks Gaurav.
The link talks about setting up the Trust with MDM server.
The code sample provided there has the following step where user name is being set and passed to MDM:
Use command to authenticate user session on trusted connection
       TrustedUserSessionCommand tuscTrustedUser =
       new TrustedUserSessionCommand(mySimpleConnection);
       // Set the user name to use
       tuscTrustedUser.setUserName(UsernameAsString);
       tuscTrustedUser.setSession(session);
       tuscTrustedUser.execute();
       session = tuscTrustedUser.getSession();
I want to understand how to do that for MDM Web Services.
I didn't see any method accepting this user name while calling the web service method / creating client object.
So that link is still missing.
Appreciate if anyone can help me with that.
This is for MDM 7.1
Thanks,
Parvinder

MDM Web Service Generator - How to Call WS in Java?

Hi there,
I have generated a web service by navigating to http://<server>:<port>/mdm/wsgenerator - The web service is succesfully generated and deployed. I can easily test the web service using the WS Navigator (http://<server>:<port>/wsnavigator).
I am now trying to use NWDS7.2 to create a wrapper web service, and need to call my generated MDM WS using Java code. I have created a CAF project, and imported the MDM web service using the WSDL. I have created an application service and no matter what I try, I cannot get the MDM web service to instantiate.
Is there anyone that has done this before? What method should be used?
All I need to know is how to create an instance of the generated MDM web service - There is no obvious constructor to use. See my code below, but this creates an exception at runtime for "IndexOutOfBoundsException". Note that the web service I generated is called "MdmWfProjectUpdate"
service = new MdmWfProjectUpdateViDefaultService(
 new java.net.URL(
 "http://<server>:<port>/MdmWfProjectUpdate/HTTPBasic?wsdl"),
 new javax.xml.namespace.QName(
 "urn:MdmWfProjectUpdateWsd/HTTPNone", "MdmWfProjectUpdateVi_DefaultService"));
I can call other web services without a problem in my code, so it is quite confusing that I cannot get this to work...
Any help will be appreciated!

Hi david ,
When u imported this webservice,there will be lot of classes generated .In these classes some are executable classes.Like if your webservice contain some operations like update,create,delete.
then for each operation tere will be one executable class generated.
this class must have some function like execute or invoke.You have to call this function in order to get the results.
Just check whether is there any such class generated or not.
Kindly revert back with your results.
Thanks,
sudhanshu

Can MDM web service search results be filtered by tuple values?

We are currently working with MDM 7.1 SP03 and Netweaver 7.0. Right now, there is a requirement to return a material record from MDM to a Web Dynpro form using the MDM search web service. The other requirement is that the form user can search for a material using material number, sales org and dist channel. Currently, the results include all sales org/dist channel combinations in the material record. Is there a way to filter the results so that only the specified sales org and dist channel are returned to the form by using the web service? For example, if a material record has 2 sales orgs with different dist channels and the user is only interested in one, is it possible for the web service to return the material record and only the one sales org? Or, does this need to be handled by the form? Thanks for any input.

Hello Steven,
currently there is no filter functionality in MDM Web services 7.1 for tuple values or qualified
lookup values.
For the next MDM release we are planning to have a new operation for retrieving multi tuple
values as standalone operation, by which the user will be able to filter the
tuple values by member field's criteria.
Regards,
Matthias

MDM web services and the MDM BP services

Hi *,
I need to know what is the difference between the standard MDM web services and the MDM BP services. How do I decide which set to use?
- Kris

Sorry but what are BP services? Do you mean Business package?
If yes the approaches are completely different - you use Web Services when you have to customise the application and build your logic/functionality into the app. CRUD operations are procided by Web Services - you need to form your wrapper application from scratch and develop!
With BP - it involves least development effort bearing in mind that its all standard content and not yet completely customizable. So based on your requirements plan whether to go for Business Package or Web Services or Java API completely...

Can MDM Web Services pull rich content?

Is it possible to pull images, PDF's and other rich content out of MDM using web services? We are attempting to find the best method to front the information from our MDM repository to a Ecommerce website. This is a non-sap website built on .NET 4.0 framework so .NET API's did not work since SAP only supports .NET 3.5.
What options should we consider to retrieve our catalog data to an external site?
Thanks in advance

Hi Klimek,
I don't think current MDM web service support rich content retrieval, you have to use kinds of API to implement this function. Considering the fact your .NET framework doesn't work, you can try to encapusulate this part of function into the web service by using JAVA API, and deploy the customized web service onto the relevant server.
I'm not sure whether we could retrieve the binary data from database level, anyway you can take a try.

Using 2 web services data sources in the same report

I've been trying unsuccesffuly to use 2 web services data sources in a report. The main report accesses the first web service to get job summary information. 3 fields are are passed as parameters to a sub-report and used as parameters for the sub-report selection. Each report works fine independently, but when I link them together the subreport alway fails to retrieve data.

Crystal Report using a Web Service as a data source?

I am trying to figure out how to use a Web Service as a data source in Crystal Reports. When I use the report wizard, I do not see an option to select Web Service as a new connection. We are currently using Crystal Reports 2008 v12.1.0.892. Could it be that my version does not support this? Is there an update that contains this feature? Please help.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I do not see a radio button for Web Services. I've read that it should be there too. Could it be a missing plug-in or patch?
Here are screen shots of what I see when trying to connect to an XML. Any thoughts?

Using a Web Service as a data provider for a Crystal Report

I'm trying to write a Crystal Reports XI report that uses a Web Service as the data provider. I have a Web Service written in ColdFusion that looks like this. <cfcomponent displayName="FindEmployee" > <cffunction name="FindEmployeeSort" access="remote" returnType="xml" output="false"> <cfdump var=form> <cfset myXML = "">  <cfquery name="EmployeeQuery" datasource="Production"> Select * from employee <cfif isdefined('form.lastname')> WHERE lastname LIKE '%#form.lastname#%' </cfif> Order by lastname asc </cfquery> <cfreturn EmployeeQuery> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> I can get the web service to work from a ColdFusion page (either locally or on a remote server).When I try to create the CR data source, I get the following error:Crystal Reports ! Logon Failed. Details: Cannot find correspondign table information in the XML fileThe steps I took were: * Choose XML from the "Avalable Data Sources" * Choose "Use Web Service Data Source" * Choose "Use HTTP(S) WSDL" with a url of <a href="http://host/directory/FindEmployee.cfc?wsdl">http://host/directory/FindEmployee.cfc?wsdl</a> * Leave the "HTTP(S) Web Service User ID:" and "HTTP(S) Web Service Password:" parameters blank * Accept the defaults for Services, Ports, and Methods. They are respectively FindEmployee, FindEmployee.cfc and FindEmployeeSort. * Then get the errorThe most likely candidate to me is the user id and password, but I have no idea what to use. I didn't have to set any login information up in the ColdFusion pages that I used to test the Web Service.Any ideas where to go from here?Thanks,Brian

Invoking a web service not created using oracle web service lib

Hi All,
I have a need to invoke my web service from oracle sql command. My web service not created using oracle web service library, but it is created using axis c++ libraries. Is it possible to do so,
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Monica

In order to call out from the database process, is SQL (or PL/SQL) you need to generate some client code, that understand the details about the specific of the service you want to invoke and can produce the correct SOAP request. Once this proxy is uploaded in the Database, you can use it.
There is a set of Database Web services samples that should help you get started. You can also take a look at the developer's guide - see Developing a Web Service Client in the Database.
Hope it answers your question.

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.

How can i use the web services

i have a web service ,but what is need that can i use the web services?
is only then oc4j,or anything?

You need to write a client that will access the Web service and invoke it.
You can write the client in Java for example - and JDeveloper provides wizards for this.
There is a sample in the JDeveloper Reviewer guide here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/10g/reviewer/reviewerguide.html

Using a web service in a JSP

Hello,
I am having difficulty understanding how to use a web service I have written in a JSP page. The service works fine and simply adds to numbers together. How can I call it from a JSP page?
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Many thanks
H

Hi,
What did you use to write your web service? I have been using Axis2. Typically, you write a client to access your webservice using the same framework that you used to generate the service. I would recommend writing a standalone client. Once you have that code written, you can move into a servlet and then use a JSP as a front end.

Can MDM Web Services return qualifier values?

We are running MDM 5.5 SP06 Patch04 (we will be doing a technical upgrade to MDM 7 later this year).
I am investigating the MDM web services and came upon a potential problem. In the test harness, I searched for a record, specifying ALL for the result definition and everything seemed to come back except qualifiers; lookup values came back, taxonomy values came back, qualified lookup display values came back, qualified link ids came back, but no qualifier values.
I searched again on the qualified link record ids in the qualified lookup table and I got the non-qualifiers, which is the expected behavior. The qualifiers have to come back with the main table record, though.
Are qualifiers not fully supported in the MDM 5.5 web services, or am I not searching properly?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Doug

Hi Doug
For me all are working good.
Can you look at pages 24-26 from "Portal content development guide"
