Web Service Connector Export Issue

Hi,
Version: Crystal Xcelsius Designer 4.5
I have a Crystal Xcelsius dashboard with a Web Service Connector component on it, as well as some graph components.
When I "Preview" the file, the display works fine and the graph is filled with data obtained through the Web Service Connector.
However, when I try to "Export" the file, either as .swf, .ppt, etc, there is no sign of the display refreshing, either on load or at intervals. I've tried clicking on the Connector button, but it doesn't appear to be connecting to the data source at all.
Any help or advice on how to get the exported display working would be appreciated.

Xcelsius creates the SWF file which is operated through the Flash Player. Therefore, it uses the security features of the Flash Player that you have installed on the browser. It is possible that this issue is Flash Security which is preventing access across a different domain.
This error occurs for one of the following reasons:
The domain name used in the URL in the web browser and the URL used in the web service configuration in Crystal Xcelsius are not the same.
Or, if the URL in the web browser uses the domain http://machine1 and the URL in the web service connector uses the domain http://machine1.companyname.com, the SWF refresh will not be successful.
When running inside a web browser, a Macromedia SWF file cannot access data that is outside the domain in which it was created. To work around this behavior, use a cross-domain policy file to allow the SWF file to access information on the Web Service server that is sitting on the other domain.
To use the cross-domain policy file:
1. Create a cross-domain policy file. For details on how to create this file, refer to technote tn_14213 at www.macromedia.com
2.Copy this file into the root of web application server. For example, for Tomcat, copy the file to 'drive':\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat\webapps\ROOT
For more information about the cross-domain policy file, see Macromedia technote tn_14213 at www.macromedia.com

How to Pass BAPIPWD from Export workflow in Web Services Connector MA

Hello,
I need to export users from FIM to SAP using web services connector. I have created Export Work flow and added the values like user name , first name, last name and etc. I couldnt set the value for password because the data type is BAPIPWD. Could you please
tell me how to create a user in SAP from FIM using Export Workflow and how to pass the password parameter.
Thanks,
Nallasivan

Hi you can add parameters to your FPM application and launch the aplication from POWL action.
Insder FPM, using FPM parameters you can access these varaibles inside your local webdynpro component.

Integrating FIM with SAP using web services connector

Hi
I am implementing the FIM web services connector to integrate with SAP. The MS connector config guide for SAP documentation seems to me missing some content or at least I think it might be written for an earlier version of
SAP than the version we are working with(different screenshots, options, etc). The version of SAP we have implemented is EHP6 for SAP ERP6 which I believe translates to ECC6.
SAP web services have been configured and FIM performs successful discovery of the wsdl endpoint and BAPI operations as expected. Our issue is that FIM fails to run a full import. From the digging around web service config and error logs two observations comes
out:
1. FIM Full Import workflow does not render correctly through the web service configuration tool and complains of a duplicate attribute "xml:space is a duplicate attribute on line on line 424 on position 103". Review of the wsconfig generated by the
webservice config tool points to an variable supplied to a construct the query to a BAPI of HR infotype 0006. Extract below:
...<InArgument x:TypeArguments="d:BAPIP0006L" xml:space="preserve">[If(Not IsNothing(addressInfo) AndAlso Not IsNothing(addressInfo.item), addressInfo.item, Enumerable.Empty(Of BAPIP0006L)()).
OrderByDescending(Function(a) DateTime.ParseExact(a.VALIDBEGIN, dataSourceDateFormatValue, Nothing)).
ThenByDescending(Function(a) Integer.Parse(a.RECORDNR)).FirstOrDefault()]</InArgument>...
I can only guess that it means the query should keep the spaces within the string it passes to SAP but this is where my understanding stops.
2. SAP returns errors about not implementing a BAPI EMPLOYEE_GETDATA function which is not part of the exposed BAPI operations. Well the obvious solution to this would be expose this missing operation (which is undocumented in MS config guide) however this
BAPI is a core requirement to retrieve person information. I would be hugely surprised if this operation was not factored into the config. This makes me think that to understand this better I need to resolve issue 1 first and get the rendering sorted first.
Has anyone come across the above issues with a recent implementation with this connector? Or help point me in the right direction?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!!

Hi Joe,
you most probably missed the sentence "Add the required BAPI’s in the function group and select those required BAPI’s and click continue." in the "Connector for SAP.docx" document on page 8. In other words your webservice does not provide the required
BAPIs.
In the "DefaultSAPECC_6.wsconfig" the workflows for import and export require specific BAPIs.
Also make sure that your Service Definition has got the same name as in the documentation and the workflow template.
I was fighting with this for the last 4 days but in the end got it working.
Hope this helps

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

FIM 2010 R2 Web Service Connector SAP HCM HTTP binding

Hi all,
I'm currently configuring the FIM web service connector to connect to a SAP HCM system.
I followed the documentation (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29943) to create the necessary web service on the SAP system. With the only difference that
I'm not able to select "None" (HTTP) under the Web Service Communication Security Settings as described in the documentation.
I had to select SSL and now get the following error message in the Web Service Configuration Tool.
Synchronization Service Manager
Following Endpoints are configured with unsupported binding:
- 'customBinding' binding for 'Z_IDM_CONNECTOR_SOAP12' endpoint
Please configure endpoint(s) with http binding only and refresh service(s).
Web service connector cannot be configured through Synchronization Service Manager if endpoint binding is not basic http.
Any help how to fix this is highly appreciated. I already can see the available BAPIs in the Web Service Configuration Tool. (In other words "Discovery" is working.)
I'll get the same error if I try to load the configration file into the Web Service Connector in the Sync Engine.
Thanks
Chris

Ok. I got that fixed by changeing the Transport Security to "None" in the Security Profile of the Service Definition.
I'm now facing a different error that you might be able to help.
I'm not able to add additional BAPIs to the SU_USER Function Group as described in the documentation because the "Plus" Button is missing in my screen. How can I add these BAPIs in order to use the Web Service Configuration Tool with the provided SAP ECC
6 configuration template?
Thanks
Chris

SAP Web Services Connector specifications

Hi,
First of all, I have to say that I do not know about web services, so I'm sorry if this question is not clear.
I am implementing Web Services connector for SAP.
I ask the Customer to configure SAP endpoint (I give the documents downloaded from Microsoft Web), but they say that this information is not complete.
They ask me for a "functional specification" for the endpoint indicating what FIM connector send and what FIM connector expected.
Is there information about these specification (besides docs with Connector).
Thanks
JuanCC Technology Specialist

Hi Juan
I have implemented a few of FIM projects with SAP SOA and FIM Web Services Connector.
Well a function specification is just a statement what FIM will do using those web services so it should be straight forward. If you are creating SAP Users and/or assigning Roles to them it should be stated.
As far as what BAPI functions that would be required to do this depends on your scenario. If you could give a brief of what your scenario is i can provide you with a list of BAPI functions in SAP that those guys need to expose as a web service.
The EndPoint needs to be created using SAP Trans Code: SOAManager, and the authentication scheme should be http:basic
The document what Microsoft provides is usually enough for the SAP technical guys.
some of the functions for SAP User are:
BAPI_USER_CREATE
BAPI_USER_CREATE1
BAPI_USER_GETLIST
BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL
BAPI_USER_EXISTANCE_CHECK
RH_ACTGROUP_INDEX_GET (for getting all the roles in SAP)

Web Service Connector Button Question

from harini_d
Hi,
I am using the web service connector component to get some data from Qaaws. However, when I view the flash file i have to keep clicking on the web service button and some other components ( like the country label) in order to populate the chart. Is there anyway that i can skip clicking the web service button.
I would ideally like to just choose the country and the chart should be populated ( with all the related data from the query from the web service). I want to avoid clicking the web service button. How do i go about this ? Any help would be appreciated.
Also, whlie selecting ranges for the i/p and o/p values for a web service connector component, I would like to select a dynamic range since sometimes i dont know how many records will be returned by the query. Is there any way to define a dynamic range.
Thank you.

I would suggest setting up your model so that when you select a region on the map, this triggers the web service connector.
Basically, the insert in of the map must be the same cell as the trigger cell for the web service connector.
Once setup properly, you can then set the web service connector's transparency to zero to clean things up.

Web Services Connector for JMX available

We are glad to announce that the Reference Implementation of our Web-Services Connector for JMX Agents, being defined by JSR 262, is available in Early Access on http://ws-jmx-connector.dev.java.net/. This major milestone is aligned with the second Early Draft Review of the Specification in the Java Community Process.
The WS-Connector for JMX is based on the WS-Management protocol, defined by the DMTF. Its greatest benefit is to provide interoperability between a variety of client applications compliant with this standard, including those not based on the Java platform, and any JMX-based instrumentation.
This week, at JavaOne, we will demonstrate examples of this interoperability on stage during the technical session "TS 2656 - JMX Technology: Who's Doing What". We will show in particular how Windows Vista's management tools can use the JVM telemetry instrumentation. Join Eamonn McManus and Jean-Francois Denise, or watch their blogs, for more details on this.
We encourage you to use and provide feedback on the WS-Connector RI early access, which is fully functional and, we believe, already pretty stable.
Note that our implementation of the WS-Management protocol is based on the Wiseman open source project, which lives at http://wiseman.dev.java.net/.
The JMX Team.

Coldfusion 11 Web Services and SSL Issue

Our company has two web services that we host that a vendor uses to grab information from on a periodic basis. These services ran fine on a CF8 SSL site, but once we switched to 11, the services can no longer be created. However, I can create them on our unsecured test site (which also is running CF 11) and access them externally without issue. When I try to create the webservice in the url, I just get a blank page back instead of the XML I should be getting. Is there something special I am missing that has to be done to create web services in a secure environment? The raw error message I get when trying to invoke the secure web service is below:

Web service SOAP response issue

Hi,*
We are upgrading system from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0. All of our webservices were created in new system with SOAManager configuration.
When the consumer systsem is trying to consume one of the webservice the XML response is different when compared with the one tested from ECC 5.0.
ECC 6.0 is returning different XML for the same web service. The consuming system "Cold Fusion' is expecting the SOAP XML in different place.
When we tested the same webservice in WS navigator it did gave the response. Also the issue is with this webservice only.
We have re created the webservice again and tested from cold fusion and the same response.
The issue is with only this webservice.
Regards,
Prashanth.

Christoph,
Firstly LiveCycle Designer 8.2 is still not supported to develop forms as per my knowledge. The latest version compatible for SAP Interactive Forms is ALD 8.0.
There is a difference between Acrobat based forms and LiveCycle forms and based on your coding it looks to me that you are trying to create a LiveCycle based form with coding of Acrobat which is not supported in LiveCycle Desginer, which is why you may be getting the error.
I hope that does not confuse you, so may check this [link|http://www.acrobatusers.com/articles/2006/08/designer_or_forms/index.php] for some clear information on what point I was trying to make.

10.1.3.3 JDev web service client proxy: Issue with XSD:anySimpleType

Hi,
One of our Web services XSD elementss has "anySimpleType" as the type:
<xsd:element name="Value" type="xsd:anySimpleType" minOccurs="0" nillable="true"/>
The client proxy is generated using JDev 10.1.3.3. We observed that the corresponding Java object is created with "String" data type:
protected java.lang.String value;
exp.setValue("100");
We need to be able to pass arguments with other simple types as well (E.g. Decimal). We tried changing the auto generated code, but weren't successful.
Any pointers in this regard are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Phani
