Web service as a SOURCE model

Can ODI use a web service as a source for ETL?

Is this the only way?
Anyways, thanks a lot. I haven't been working with ODI yet, I just have to find out, if it is possible to use it for our project. So I just read through the user's guide...

  • Web services as a sources for ODI

    Hi All,
    I am facing a problem related to ODI. I want to use web service as source for ODI.
    Basically I have build one simple web service which gives system date through Jdeveloper and with OC4J connection. Now I want to use this web service as a source and want to insert this system date (which I will get through this web service) in oracle database. Could you please guide me.
    I tell you what I did till now.
    1. Developed simple web service through Jdeveloper.
    2. Deploy it using OCJ4 connection using Jdeveloper only.
    I did some research and came to know about axis2. I installed it but not able to start it properly. As per best of my knowledge we have to use axis2 as web service container and we can take OC4J or Tomcat.
    So I want to know how can I install (configure) Axis2 properly and can use my webservice developed through Jdeveloper as a source of ODI.
    I gone through documentation of ODI but as I am completely new for JAVA I can not figure it out properly.
    Request you to explain each step thoroughly as I am new to Java.
    Thanks and Regards
    -Pallav

    The below link gives detailed information about installing axis2. I used this for installing axis2 on my oracle app server.

  • Using Web Service as Data source (Pluggable Data Source) in Oracle Reports

    Anyone using Webservice as a pluggable data source in oracle 10g reports.(Report builder version:10.1.2.0.2)? We need to be able to use web service as one of the data source to create reports.Tried the following and ran into issues:
    Imported the wspds.jar fle from oracle plugin exchage. When tried using it received the following error in oracle reports trace file.
    04/26 22:27:22 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDBuilder.build([Loracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLDocument;Ljava/net/URL;)Ljava/lang/Object;
    By troubleshooting issue found out that xmlparserv2.jar in 10g is newer than xmlparserv2.jar in 9i. wspds.jar is using xmlparserv2.jar in 9i as it was developed and tested for 9i only. Believe there is no newer wspds.jar file developed specifically for 10g?
    Is there a better/standard solution to use webservice as data source in oracle 10g reports? Does later version of oracle reports supports webservice as a data source without any additional plugins? Any suggestion would be helpful.

    Please provide support for the above request.
    It appears that Oracle 10g reports doesn't support Web Service as pluggable data source. Is this option is available in Oracle 11g Reports or Oracle Discoverer Or OBIEE?

  • XML Web Service as data source

    We are researching the option of using a web service as the data source of a Crystal report. There are a couple of points that I would like your input.
    1) How are report parameters passed to the web service?
    2) Are there any known performance issues? I created a simple XML file that had 200,000 rows (3 columns) and there was a delay of 2 min for Crystal displaying all of the report. We have reports of this size, I just wanted to get a feeling of Crystal processing and rendering of the XML file.
    3) Are there any restrictions on the XML schema definition for Crystal?  We are using Crystal 11.5 and 2008.
    I appreciate your input and any ideas.
    Many Thanks,

  • Report that uses web services as data source, prompts for database logon

    I have a crystal report that uses web services as a data source. When I deploy the report to Infoview it prompts me for a database username and password. Since I am not using a database it should not prompt me for these. I tried various options in the CMC->database settings for this report but it still prompts me for the database logon info or tells me that the database logon information is incorrect.
    The report work fine in the Crystal Reports Designer.
    Does anyone know how I can prevent this report from prompting me for the database logon info ?
    Thanks,

    What options have you tried in the CMC?
    Have you tried running the report in Crystal Reports installed directly on the Enterprise machine?

  • Building Portlets Declaratively tutorial (web service as data source)

    [I mistakenly posted this on the Portal Applications forum earlier.]
    I'm going through the Building Portlets Declaratively tutorial. In the Creating a Portlet Using a Web Service as a Data Source section, I enter the WSDL URL and click the Show Parameters button, and no parameters are returned, as expected. I then click the Next button to go to the Filter page. The Column dropdown list contains only the <none> and ERROR items. I returned to the previous page and clicked the Test button. This is the result:
    <ns1:getEmpXMLResponse xmlns:ns1="oracle.ws.scott.OTNDeptEmp" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/literalxml" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <return>
    <ERROR>
    oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNUM=168821760)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))
    </ERROR>
    </return>
    </ns1:getEmpXMLResponse>
    I get the same response when I use this page to test getEmpXML: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/webservices/hostedservices_index.html
    Is there a different service that I should now be calling (i.e., is OTNDeptEmp.getEmpXML no longer available?)?
    Thanks.

  • How to use web service as data source for forge or endeca ?

    hi,
    is there any way to use webservice as data source in pipeline ?
    i have requirment to get data from web service and dump it in endeca. for this i need some idea on how can be this achieved. is it possible to do so?

    Crawling is part of the CAS, which is kind of the data ingest process in Endeca as you would know. There are a bunch of OOTB Crawlers available like FileSystem based, XML Crawlers, etc., and there could be a case where you have to write your own and thats what I am suggesting because the XML crawl thats OOTB expects a specific format which isnt really mentioned in the Documentation. Please refer to CASDevGuide for more information. CAS, PlatformServices and ToolsAndFrameworks should be running when you start off with Endeca, you can see that from
    ps -ef | grep java
    on your machine

  • Can we use REST web service as Data source in SSRS? !!!!NOT SOAP!!!!

    Hello,
    We have requirement to use the REST web service as the Data source of SSRS.  Tried with XML as Data Source, but unfortunately I could not succeed because the query expects SOAPAction which is not available in REST Service.
    Do we have any option to use REST Service, if so please provide some basic example, so that I can try out some options.
    If not, do we have any alternate solutions to handle these situations?
    Thanks!
    Vinay

    Hi Vinay.
    After looking on it for some time, I am afraid currently there is no document to talk on how to use the REST web service as a data source.
    You can use the link
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa964129(v=SQL.90).aspx for a renference.
    From a support perspective currently this is really beyond what we can do here in the forums. If you cannot determine your answer here or on your own, consider opening a

    I have NWDS 7.0.
    How can I set model, to avoid binding web service response to model?
    Thanks.

    I just ran into this issue, same exact problem.
    The quick and dirty workaround I did, after trying out several other things to make sure I didn't do anything wrong to cause this problem, was to just catch the nullpointer, and then go along my merry way.
    try{
         query.execute();     
    catch(NullPointerException e){
         //we get a worthless error here from Webdynpro, so we just ignore it. Not pretty. But unavoidable
    If someone else has any other solution, I would love to hear them.
    This is on NW7.0 SP15

  • Can not execute web service out of vc modelled in nwds

    Hi,
    I am working on CE 7.11 and modelled in NWDS a VC model. I am using several web services. The web services was found by Service Registry and could be added to the vc model without any problems.
    But when I deploy my vc model and try to execute a service I got two errors:
    Error occurred while identifying the destination : Destination CE2 not found
    Error occurred during Destination Lookup
    I know that I have to set something, somewhere but I do not know where. I could cry!
    May somebody help me please?
    Regards

    Hi,
    thats really crazy. You lead me to a new thinking and after hours I got my example running!
    In NWDS:
    When I search and add the web service over the Service Registry and right click at the method > Configure > Target Component I see that NWDS takes as System alias "CE2". Thats wrong because, actually it should take the service name!
    To handle this problem at Window > Preferences > Web Service Configuration I define new service, refresh my service search in NWDS and add it to the model. Now at "Configure > Target Component" I have the correct system alias.
    As final step I only have to define in NWA a HTTP Destination with the exactly same name as defined in System alias.
    But do you know why NWDS takes wrong "System alias" over Service Registry menue?

  • Using Web Service a Data Source for my Report

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to use a Web service as a PDS for my Oracle9ias reports.
    I have a few questions on this.
    1) Can the webservice Return a Complex data type e.g java.util.Vector? If Yes, How does the report extract data frm the Vecor?
    2) If the first option isn't feasible, Can I go for a array of objects as return values provided those objects are serializable?Again how would the report extract data from array of objects?
    3) OR is it advisable to go for Document style web service that returns me an XML document?

  • How can we pass the entire rows of a table to a web service in a VC model ?

    Hi,
    On the click of the submit button, I have to pass the rows of two tables into an enterprise service. This service also takes other fields of a form as an input.
    How can we pass the entire rows of a table into a service ?
    Regards,
    Nitin

    Hi Nitin,
    It seems that you have two or three different structures to pass data using your webservice. In your main question, two tables, you can join both in one table and from there call the webservice. In order to pass the entire table you need:
    1. Draw a line between your joinned table and your service,
    2. Map the fields,
    3. Create a 'SUBMIT' in your table tool bar. Right click on your table and choose 'Create Toobar', '+', name and choose 'Submit' as your event.
    4. Go to Configure Element (Table View) 'Multiple' at Selection Mode.
    Reward points if helps you to solve your question.
