Using Reporting Services Web Service methods to run a report with query parameters

I'm attempting to use the ReportExecutionService methods to process a report that contains four parameters, two of them query parameters. In total, the report must execute two queries. The two query parameters are determined by the execution of
the second query.
So, I've read about GetExecutionInfo and SetExecutionParams. To quote the MSDN page for GetExecutionInfo, "Use this method iteratively with the SetExecutionParameters method to evaluate parameters that have query- or expression-based defaults."
Can anybody explain how to use this, or any other method, to execute a report such as mine? The first query gets the rows of the report; the second query gets the row count. LoadReport does not seem to do the trick by itself. I need to use the technique
described in the quote above, I think.
I could really use some help. Thanks!

Hello,
If I understand correctly, you create a local report which choose report from Report Server. You have two query parameters in the report which are returned by stored procedure. Currently, you cannot get default values for these parameters when run the report.
Based on my test, if we haven’t configure these parameter with Available Values, we can reproduce the same issue. Also, caching issue may cause the same issue. If the issue is persist, please delete the corresponding report in the report server. Then, redeploy
it to check.
There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

Calling Reporting Services Web Service with jQuery possible?

Hi,
is it possible to call the Reporting Services Web Service with jQuery? If yes, can someone post me a small example?
Background:
My plan is to create a html with a form which is also uploaded then into the reportserver. I open this html later by clicking a link in a report (with gotoURL open.window). The report opens the html inclusive the overtaken of some additional parameters
(reportname, reportdescription). These parameters I will use in the html-form as defaultvalues for the corresponding input-text-fields. Now the user can make some changes (i.e. the decription). With a click on a button I will send the new description to
the Reporting Services Web Service by using the SetProperties method, closing the html-window and reload the report. Important is that I want to upload the html also into the reportserver itself.
I have already found how to consume a web service via jQuery but with the Reporting Services Web Service I did not get it running in my tests.
I have referenced to the following jQuery.js: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js
Here you can see my tests I made with the results:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://<..>/ReportServer/ReportService2010.asmx/ListChildren',
data: {'ItemPath':'/','Recursive':false},
complete: function(xData, status) {
$('p').html($(xData.responseXML).text()); // result
$("#divStatus").text( status ); // status }
I got a NULL response with Status success. But where are the items?
Another test which should response only one value was that:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "text/xml; charset=utf-8",
url: "http://<..>/ReportServer/ReportService2010.asmx/GetItemType",
data: {"Item":"/Development"}, // Development is a Folder in my Reportserver-Root
dataType: "xml",
success: function (msg) {
$("#divResult").html(msg.responseXML);
error: function (data, status, error) {
$("#divResult").html("WebSerivce unreachable<br> <br>" + data.responseXML + "<br> <br>(" + error + ")");
Here I got an [object Error]
And here my last test:
var soapMessage = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>\
<soap:Envelope \
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" \
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" \
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">\
<soap:Body>\
<GetItemType xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/sql/ReportingServer">\
<ItemPath>/Development</ItemPath>\
</GetItemType>\
</soap:Body>\
</soap:Envelope>';
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "text/xml; charset=utf-8",
url: http://<..>/ReportServer/ReportService2010.asmx?wsdl,
data: soapMessage,
dataType: "xml",
success: processSuccess,
error: processError
function processSuccess(data, status, req) {
if (status == "success")
$("#response").text($(req.responseXML).find("Type").text());
function processError(data, status, req) {
alert(req.responseText + " " + status);
Here I got an "Undefined error"
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Connect to SharePoint web service using the XML / Web Service connector

Hi experts,
I am currently trying to display my SharePoint list in Crystal Report. Therefore my plan is to use a SharePoint web service to get the data and paste them to the Crystal Report.
Is it possible to use the "XML and Web services" connector of the Crystal Reports database expert?
When I enter the web service URL, for instance:
https://[url]/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?wsdl
and click next... I have to enter the web service credentials.
On the next page I have to enter Service, Port and Method.
Do I have to enter the service URL again here?
What If, there is no port? Can I leave that field empty?
I know the methods, but where can I add the mandatory parameters?
Thanks for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Hi Ananth,
thank you, but this document does not help at all.
We are using Crystal Reports 2008 SP2.
We want to use the Web Service Connector.
What I need is more informationen about the Web service connect. For example - the connection in Microsoft InfoPath is much easier - there I don't have to enter a port and can choose the methods from a list.
Is it possible to use the Crystal web service connector for MS SharePoint Webservices?
Or must I use the Crystal SDK to carry out a connection?
Best regards,
Sebastian

SQL 2012 R2 - SSRS with the Report Server Web Service URL, can't access

Hello:
I am installing Dynamics CRM 2013. When I am on RS Configuration manager; I am running into the SSRS (SQL 2012 on Server 2012)SQL issue, can't access the
http://servername/:80/ReportsServer or
http://servername/:Reports web pages
The database server has SSRS native mode installed, it is using a domain account for the service credentials. This account also has permission to log on a service in the GPO
Account is a domain admin and is a local administrator
SQL server is 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012. User base is less than 60 people and they have SharePoint 13 on the same SQL server. Server more than enough resources.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks..Dan

Hi DCas1,
According to your description, you could not access
http://servername/:80/ReportsServer or http://servername/:Reports web pages from Reporting Services configuration manager, SSRS in configured in native mode and the account you used is a local administrator.
In Reporting Services, URLs are used to access the Report Server Web service and Report Manager. Before we can use either application, we need to configure at least one URL each for the Web service and Report Manager. If we are using the Reporting Services
Configuration tool to create or modify the URLs, we can accept the default values for a URL or specify custom values. When we create a report server URL, we must specify the following parts: Host name, port and Virtual directory. In order to improve the efficiency
of troubleshooting, I need to ask several questions:
Since the default URL is http://<computername>/reportserver, did you type the URLs manually? or the URLs configured in Reporting Services configuration manager are
http://servername/:80/ReportServer and
http://servername/:Reports?
Could you provide detailed information of error log(default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles)?
For more information about Configuring a URL, please refer to the following documents:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159261(v=sql.110).aspx

Apex 4.1 Form and Report on Web Service Report displays nothing

Hello I created and tested a webservice using the test feature in Apex 4.1.
I know the results is a string of 1 row.
I created a Form and Report on Web Service. When I run the form there is nothing displayed in the Reports section its just blank.
If I run the sql from the results region I get no data found.
Is the problem the returned data is not stored in the collection?
Edited by: Oracle Primavera on Oct 26, 2011 3:32 PM

What would be the reason for the following.
Testing the webservice in apex returns values.
However when I run Form and Report on Web Service Report if I query the collection it is always empty?
Does anyone have any experience on this issue? Is it a bug? Please some hints I have been trying for two weeks without success.

Report on web service

APEX 4.0.2
Created a RESTful web service with input and output parameters. Created a report region on the web service. It generates a SQL report with the following query
select extractValue(value(t),'/*/op1') "op1"
, extractValue(value(t),'/*/op2') "op2"
from wwv_flow_collections c,
table(xmlsequence(extract(c.xmltype001,'/path/to/output'))) t
where c.collection_name = 'OUTPUT'1. How/when is the web service invoked to populate the collection?
2. How are the input parameter(s) passed to the web service?
Thanks

Hello Vikas,
>> I thought that's exactly what the wizard was supposed to do
You are correct. The question is whether you used the correct wizard.
As I understand it, before you are able to generate a report on your Web Services you need to define them. First you need to create a RESTful Web Service Reference - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/advnc_web_services.htm#CHDDIHEA . Then you should go to the Forms wizard (and not the Report wizard, as I suspect you did) and choose the option of Create Form and Report on Web Service - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/advnc_web_services.htm#BABDDBIB . This wizard allows you to take care of the necessary input items, and also to name the collection to be used for the results ( Temporary Result Set Name ).
I’m no expert on Web Services. I only tried it once, long time ago, so from here on you're on your own :) .

Arie.

Reports and Web Services

Is there a way to get system usage reports through web services api?
Where I find some examples?

No, they don't 'need' web services. Xcelsius uses Excel for it's data and you can use web services to load the Excel model with data, but it is not required. CR has a variety of data connection options.
Web services is a popular method of retrieving the most up-to-date data, but is not a requirement.
Hope that helps,

Using WebCenter Spaces Web Service API through JDeveloper's Data Control

Hi,
I'm trying to access WebCenter Spaces Web Service API (located at http://host:port/webcenter/SpacesWebService)
using JDeveloper's Web Center Data Control.
I created a data control in my portal project using JDeveloper's Web Service Data Control wizard.
I also created and configured key stores (jps-config.xml) at both sides (spaces server and my portal client).
How I created a data control:
* First I entered the name and the URL (http://host:port/webcenter/SpacesWebService?WSDL)
* Then I entered HTTP basic authentication details (user name and password)
* After that I drag-and-drop the getGroupSpaces() method from the data control to a .jspx page as a ADF read-only table.
* Then ran my portal project and navigated to this .jspx page and it worked. List of group spaces appeared well on that page.
The problem is that I got only public group spaces and group spaces created by the user I entered on HTTP basic authentication details.
I makes no sense to enter some static user details in a web service client (or a data control).
So the question is; can I use identity propagation to get only group spaces created by the same user which I logged in my portal?
Edited by: 832886 on Feb 18, 2011 3:09 AM

Hi,
You generally get NameError when you are executing the createCred/updateCred from a incorrect location. Are you using the wlst from oracle_common\common\bin?
Also, In your steps I don't see what you did to populate the walllet at JDeveloper end after your updateCred failed. This is a required step. Use the wlst from the location emntioned above and you should be able to proceed.
Thanks,
Vishal

Is it possible to add a user using the RESTful Web Services SDK

Others have asked before about user management features in the RESTful Web Services SDK. However I can find no answers or links which provide an answer to the question 'Is it possible to add a user using the BI 4.1 SP2 RESTful Web Services SDK'?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve
Unfortunately, not possible. The BI RESTful can only get "stuff" that is already there. I suppose this would fall under some sort of "Object Creation" API and that is not there. Yet. Rumors abound, but nothing firm. Just as a BTW.; the Business Intelligence platform RESTful Web Service Developer Guide 4.1 is here:

Transport Webi Reports and Web services as the backend of dashboards from BO Production to BO Development system

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP BO 4.1. I have made several dashboards on top of web services ie;Web Service Method. I have 2 systems in BO ie; Development and Production Systems.The BW production system is connected to BO Development and Production both.
The Webi reports are made on top of BI BEx Query. From the webi reports, BI Web Services are made on top of which the dashboards are made further.
The Webi Reports, Web Services and the Dashboards everything is made directly in BO Production.
My question is, Can I transport the Webi Reports and the Web Services from BO Production to BO Development?
And If yes, will it have any other impact on webi reports, web services or dashboards?
Thanks & Regards,
Alfred Thomas

Hi Gill,
As per your reply,with the promotion managament i have make the web services again manually in Dev system...Right?
Is there any way possible that i can transport the webservices and the webi reports usind Query AS A Web Service Designer. And if yes, through this QAAWS will the WSDL or the URL required for the web services in the connection button in dashboards will automatically updated or changed as per the Development System?
But i am not able to enable the "Deploy to Other servers Option" in QAAWS.
Can you please help?

Hi
You can use a java web service to publish a Web service from a Java class.
A wizard creates the WSDL document and deployment files needed to publish your code as a Web service. After you select the class and methods you want to publish, the wizard generates deployment descriptors, a JAX-RPC mapping file, and a WSDL document that can be deployed to an application server.
You can refer : \bpel\samples\tutorials\102.InvokingProcesses\ws sample to invoke a WS using JAX-RPC Call.
Hope that helps!
Cheers

The reporting service web service connection pool reached the max pool size

I got a problem that it throw an exception "The timeout peroid elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connection was in use and max pool size was reached."
The satuation is our service use 15 thread to render report, but sometimes we met such exception I list above. I didn't change any configuration in rsreportserver.config, and it seems the connection to reportserver database from reporting service web
service was not disposed.
Is there any configuration I can modify to fix this issue?

Hi Dexter,
In your case, we can try to increasing the size of the connection pool to resolve the issue. By default, the Max Pool Size is 100. You can refer to the similar issue below:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c57c0432-c27b-45ab-81ca-b2df76c911ef/timeout-expired-the-timeout-period-elapsed-prior-to-obtaining-a-connection-from-the-pool?forum=adodotnetdataproviders
Since the issue is related with ADO.NET. I suggestion you post the question in the following forum:

It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

How to Specify Metadata When Adding Content Using iTunes U Web Service?

I've been developing Java applications using iTunes U Web service and uploaded content to iTunes U site using iTunes U Web service without problem. Now I want to add metadata fields (name, artist name, album name, etc.) for the tracks I uploaded. It seems to me that "AddTrack" will do. So I tested it but it neither adds a track under the specified group nor updates metadata fields for an existing track. It turned out "MergeTrack" actually updates metadata fields for an existing track. So is there any way to specify metadata at the time of adding content using iTunes U Web service? And what exactly does AddTrack do? This is all about contents hosted by iTunes U site and no RSS is involved.
I'm referring to the "AddTrack" method in iTunes U Web service:
http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/iTunesUAdministrationGuide/iTunesUWebServices/c hapter18_section_21.html#//appleref/doc/uid/AdminGuide-CH13-SW26

Thanks for all the replies. My question is whether there is any way to specify metadata WHEN adding content using iTunes U Web service. Specifying metadata AFTER adding content can be achieved by MergeTrack (weird naming) and it does work.
As for setting track level meta-data in the media file and then upload it, there're several reasons against that, among which are:
1. Some track metadata are context-dependent. A video about buildings on Michigan Ave in Chicago can be track #2 in a history course and described as "historic view of the Magnificent Mile", but the same media can also be track #5 in a landscape design course and described as something like "contemporary architecture". Setting these metadata in the media file itself is not the preferred way to do it since it implies maintaining a version of the same media for any course/group it gets uploaded to.
2. Setting metadata in a location separate from the media file helps track the metadata change and search for media without digging into the media itself.
3. If MergeTrack "updates" metadata, there got to be some other method that "creates" metadata - that's what a well-designed API should look like. And setting metadata in the media file is not an equivalent to a "create metadata" method call. In rickwolf's term, that implicit AddTrack should actually be made explicit so the party uploading content can explicitly specify metadata instead of having iTunes U extract metadata from the media.
It is still not clear what "AddTrack" does exactly, maybe rickwolf is right - it's only relevant to tracks created through RSS.
So it seems to me there is no other way to specify metadata WHEN adding content using iTunes U Web service than setting metadata in the media file. To me it is more like a design flaw.

Export with crystal reports as web service

In order to create 3 tier architecture for security enhancments, I am using crystal feature to publish report as web service. As far displaying these reports on viewer is concerned, I have got that part working by setting the datasource to asmx and then using the viewer to set the parameters and logon information.
However currently I also have export button on the UI which basically used the ReportDocument and wrote the excel to Http stream. And this is the part where I am now struggling with crystal as web service as it does not expose ReportDocument. I have scanned all forums and have been googling for a while but reaching nowhere.
Please help if someone has already dealt with similar problem.
Thank you.

I don't think you will be able to do this from the button. Reason is that the web service only works with the viewer and there is are no exposed export API associated with the viewer. The only export APIs are based off of the report document object.

ORA-02263 when creating Report on Web Service Result

Hi,
I'm using Application Express 4.2.1.00.08 and I'm having problems creating a report on web service result.
This is the tutorial I'm using: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e13363/web_serv.htm (yes, I realize it's intended primarily for APEX 3.2).
I am able to create the web service, but when creating a report on web service result, I get the following error in the last step:
ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-02263: need to specify the datatype for this column.
I have tried creating a report on the same web service result on apex.oracle.com (Application Express 4.2.1.00.08) and I don't get the error, and I am able to create the report.
The same thing happens with another web service, so I'm puzzled.
What could be the problem?
Thank you.

I wasn't able to solve the original problem, but I was able to recreate the process manually, using APEX_WEB_SERVICE.PARSE_RESPONSE function, documented here:http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_web_service.htm#autoId10
Thanks again for your help!
