Using Proxy Service To Fetch External Content

Can I use a proxy server to fetch external web content to be display on the portal desktop. My portal server resides behind the company firewall, but need to collect external RSS content.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thnx

Chris -
You need to define which domains/subdomains you want the portal server to use a proxy for in the DNS Domains and Subdomains list in the Gateway Management -> Manage Gateway Profile page of the administration console. This is covered in Chapter 8 of the Administration Guide.
These settings are used by the portal server even if you don't have the gateway installed/running.

  • Unable to poll for files in FTP server using Proxy Service (in OSB Project)

    Here are the stepd followed for creating proxy service that should poll ftp server to retrieve files but polling is not happening and unable to see any errors in logs.
    1. Created service account by selecting resource type as static and providing the ftp user and password details.
    2. Created a New Proxy Service in eclipse
         Tab General - service type as Messaging Service
         Tab Messaging - Request Message Type as Text, Response message type as None
         Tab Transport - Protocol selected as "ftp"
              - Endpoint uri entered in the format - ftp://hostname:port/directory
    FTP Transport -Selected "external user" as User Authentication
              - Selected the Service Account thats created in step1/
                   - File mMask - *.*
                   - Polling Interval 60

                   - Post Read Action - Delete
                   - Transfer mode - binary
                   - Download Directory - "some local directoy"
                   - Error Directory - "some local error directory"
    Could any one please help here to trouble shoot the polling issue and correct me if this is wrong approach.
    Thanks

    Did you configure the FTP adapter which is present in Weblogic server?I think he's using FTP transport in OSB and not the JCA adapter, if that's the case FtpAdapter configuration wouldn't help...
    unable to see any errors in logsThat's odd, try to mess up the hostname and see if you get a connection refused on the logs...
    It may be a permissions issue, the user you're connecting may not even "see" the files you place there... Try using the same user to create and to poll files...

  • Is it possible to to use SQlite database as an External Content type?

    Hi guys,
        I need some help in accessing data from an external database(SQlite) and use it in sharepoint 2010.  I have a list in sharepoint 2010 but some of the fields must come from SQlite database.  Whenever the list is updated, the corresponding
    fields from SQlite database should also be updated. 
       I've been looking on some examples on using external content types but I've only encountered examples using SQL server. I'm new to sharepoint 2010 and I have little idea to get this done.  Can someone kindly assist me on this? 
    Thank you very much.
    Regards,

    Hi Peter,
    SharePoint is designed to use Business Connectivity Services when talking to external data sources.
    The Microsoft Business Connectivity Services (BCS) can connect to external data from the following types of databases:
    Microsoft SQL Server
    Oracle
    OLE DB
    ODBC
    So you may connect to SQLite through ODBC. Take a look at this example how to connect to MySQL through ODBC
    Connecting MySQL using BCS. You may create an External Content Type for SQLite the same way.

  • How to maintain messageId when using proxy services and mq??

    Hi
    I am a novice to oracle service bus and trying few transformations by configuring proxy services.
    Let me explain the problem I'm facing:
    I have created a business service and a proxy service and configured them in a synchronous way.
    I'm using MQ as a transport protocol....and message I'm passing and transforming is in xml format.
    these proxy and business services are functioning properly.....but at the another end i have created another pair of busines and proxy service which will be taking request message from earlier business service and putting it into another queue which is reference as a response queue by earlier proxy service.
    my second pair is also working properly. now the problem is that it is not maintaining message Id during all the routing.
    and that's why im not able to read the response message from the response queue because of message ID mismatch.
    Please help!!
    tell me if i have to do change any particular configuration settings to maintain the message id for my request message throughout the flow.
    Thanks

  • Consuming Data from Queue using proxy service

    Hi , i am coming up the problem of consuming the queue .
    My flow is like :
    1. Created Connection factory(JNDI - cf) targeting Admin Server and queue(JNDI - q) targeting WllsbJmsserver.
    2. Created A JMS based Buissness Service of Any XML type and it is used for publishing the incoming xml payload to the destination queue (q).
    3. Now i am able to see the published payload on the console using monitoring option of the queue.
    4. Now i have created the proxy service and gave the same url as given for BS (jms://localhost:7001/cf/q).
    5.After activating the session the Messege Current Count on weblogic console is now coming 0 as i think it's being consumed up by the proxy service, but I am not able to see the consumed message.
    6.I want to do some processing on the message, how to go about this?
    My requirement is that i wanted to store some ID in a queue and used that particular id /consume that particaular id in some other proxy service .

    Anuj,
    I tried one more flow ...
    My resources are:
    1.BS :BSQ_Push
    2.PS :PS_Read_Message
    3.PS: PS_Publish_Message
    I edit the pipeline of PS_Publish_Message and made a route to PS_Publish_Message service and added some more actions and i am listing up all the actions below step by step
    Message Flow for PS_Publish_Message
    a. Postiing Message In Queue stage:
    Publish to [ BSQ_Push ] used , and Request Actions used : Log [ $body ]
    b. Route to [ PS_Read_Messege ]
    Message Flow for PS_Read_Message :
    a. Reading Message Stage :
    Log [$body  ]
    But at the end my logs are as follows when i run the PS_Publish_Message wth a request as <id>Abhinav</id> :

  • Using the External Content Type as a column lookup

    Hi.
    I am working on a solution that will get data from a web service (third party) and create a list in SharePoint Online (Office365 E3 subscription). The use a column from that list as a lookup column for another list. The reason for this is to allow updates
    on the third party data source to update the list in Office 365.
    Using SPD 2013, I created that external content type then created the list. However, due to the limitations on BCS (which I just learned after googling it) that the only thing I can use from this column is the ID column.
    Has anyone found a work around on the matter? I was thinking of just creating a list app then load the bcs data to it. My problem will be how to update the list every so often.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use the External Content Type as a column lookup.
    Per my knowleage, you can select all the columns in the external list.
    You can create a lookup column in the list as below:
    If you select Name, then you can get the Name column as below:

  • Access issue relating to external content types

    Hi,
    I was recently given permissions in the Central Administration to edit external content types. However, when I open Sharepoint Designer and click on External Content types, I am unable to view the existing external content types that was created by another
    site collection admin. The message I see is "There are no items to show in this view." I have the same permission level as this admin.
    Any suggestion in regards to resolving this?
    Thanks in advance!
    Vidya

    Hi  Vidya,
    For your issue, please confirm below check list:
    Do you have permission to access the Business Data Connectivity Service? You can verify this by trying to open Business Data Connectivity Service management page of Central Administration  in the Browser.
    If you cannot open, please ask permission for yourself from the farm administrator. Reference:
    Business Connectivity Services security overview.
    Do you have Edit , Execute and Selectable In Clients   permissions for the external content type you want to view? If not, please ask permissions for yourself. Reference:
    Set Permissions to External Content Type using PowerShell.
    If the issue persists, please go to Central Administration->Application Management ->Manage services on server,  restart the Business Data Connectivity Service.

  • Proxy service reading from XML file..

    Hey all - i am a newbie here.
    my project need is to access a xml file, retrieve its content by a proxy service and send its contents to client back.
    Do i need to use java callout / MFL transformation? If yes, how?
    I do not wish to make use of any corresponding business service for this purpose. Is above possible without using a business service? If yes then how?
    Please help me out..!!
    Thanks and Regards,
    Swapnil K.

    Hi Swapnil K.
    do the following
    1. Create an XML file registered as an XQuery resource like below:
    <mapping>
    <row>
    <key>key1</key>
    <value>value1</value>
    </row>
    <row>
    <key>key2</key>
    <value>value2</value>
    </row>
    </mapping>
    2. create a simple soap proxy based on your wsdl I assume it would have only one operation with in parameter keyParam and one return paramter rerturnValue
    3. add a pipeline pair and create an assing action to the variable rerturnValue assigning the follwing value
    $mapping/row[key/text()=$keyParam]/value/text()
    where $mapping is your eternal xml resource and $keyParam is the input parameter of your wsdl method.
    by doing so you can modify your xml mapping without touching your proxy.
    4. in the response pipe of your pipeline pair populate the $body with the appropriate wsdl reponse message containing the value of the rerturnValue varaible
    regards,

  • Proxy Service Writing a File

    Guys,
    I have a Proxy service that recieves a file content in Binary64 field present on the request body type.
    I need to write this content present inside the Binary 64 to a file.
    My approach was to develop a Web Service with that same interface and do the write logic within the Web Service. But my wish is to make this, if possible, using Proxy Service. There is a particular issue about that.
    The OSB Domain is started with a user called osboperator and it has all write privileges on the remote file system in order to make possible write down the file. But it may represent a security issue. My client wants that the Proxy Service runs with a different user, impersonating a different user than the one that started the domain because when doing that it will be more secure.
    Let me supply more information.
    The Proxy Service is configured to respond only to HTTPS requests and there is a 2-WAY SSL configured. So the requester will present a certificate and based on the certificate there will be a user associated with that. This user associated with the certificate is the one meant to run the part of the orchestration that will tryies to write down the file on the remote file system.
    Iss it possible?
    How?
    Is it the best approach?

    >
    Ok, but the point is that I do not want the user beaoperator to have the grant to write the file system.
    If I create a Service Account and configure the Proxy to run with the service account will not be enought? The hole proxy will be running with an user different from the one that started the domain. Or no?
    >
    Well, I don't think you can attach Service Account to a proxy service ... But even if you could, the answer would be "No". The proxy would be running with the very same SYSTEM PRIVILEGES (in your operating system) as any other part of OSB or WebLogic. Only privileges within the scope of OSB would be different, but that wouldn't change anything from operating system perspective, so your file would still be written by the user who started WebLogic.
    So ... There is no way how you could change system user within JVM. Your code (be it OSB or anything else) is running under privileges of a single system user (beaoperator) and you can't change that from any Java application. Again, there is no way to do that.
    You have to think in a different way. Instead of "how to write a file from OSB under different user?" think about "how to process data in OSB and let other system process to store them?" The answer for the first question is "no way!", whereas there are many positive answers for the second question. One of them is FTP or SFTP where you could set your Service Account, the second could be web service running outside of OSB ...

  • How do I scrape external content using a URLScraper channel through a proxy that requires authentication?

    I need to scrape external content but my Portal Server lies in my Intranet. The company has a Proxy server that needs authentication in order to browse the Internet.
    In the gateway settings, I have made the entries:
    iplanet.com|
    * Proxyip:proxyport|
    This works in the sense that the gateway contacts the proxy for the content, but I get the Proxy Authentication failed page.
    Where do I pass my username and password?
    Regards,
    Vibha

    At the present time, you cannot use URLScraper with proxies that require authentication. You can either reconfigure the proxy to not require authentication when accessed by the portal, or create your own custom provider to pass proxy authentication information in the HTTP header.
