Web Service & Licencing

Hi All,
i build a php web site for the customer to check deliveries status. I am using a web service to access SAP ECC5 data with a remote user. Does anyone knows the SAP Licencing Policy in this specific case ? Do my customers needs to have an SAP licence ? And if yes witch kind ?
Xavier

Hi,
It depends of each SAP Customer contract but the general use is that the users of your php web site will be considered as indirect SAP users and your customer will need to buy SAP licences for them.
These licenses are generally much cheaper than for "direct" SAP users and their price is the result of a negotiation.

Olivier

Web Service Connection in Xcelsius 2008

I have recently upgraded from 4.5 to Xcelsius 2008 and am having trouble getting the Web Service Connections set up correctly for my QaaWS.
I have 7 LiveOffice connections in a model that seem to all refresh on load fine and i have already set up a Web Service Connection that picks up the drill through path of what the user has clicked on and used them as input parameters to a QaaWS query.
I now need to add another Web Service Connection for another QaaWS and i get the following error message;
"Unable to Load URL"
I have checked the available QaaWS services using dswsbobje/qaawsservices and the 2 queries appear as i would expect.
I have checked the dsws.properties file and the user name and password are correct (which i would expect as teh 1st connections works in the Xcelsius model.
I have restarted the Tomcat server and CMS and this does not cure the problem.
I have even tried re-installing QaaWS.
I have installed SP1 fix 1 for 2008. I am currently using XIR2 SP2.
Can anyone help as sometimes this functionality works and sometimes it does not. The 2 queries i want to use point aty teh ssame database and BO Universe.

Hi Anthony,
You might check that type of the licence type of the user QaaWSPrincipal. I had a problem where the QaaWSPrincipal user was Concurrent Access License while my server was Named User only. Switching to Named User resolved the problem.
However, I am not sure that this is your issue as the you have one QaaWAS url working. YOu might want to check your URL is available
try
http://<name of server>:<Tomcat port number>/dswsbobje/qaawsservices
This contains a list of all URLs. Finally, you might look at importing the wsdl into other applications to see if the issue is Xcelsius or QaaWS related. You can copy to MS Office InfoPath with steps described below.

Problem connection to web service

Hi ,
I need your help. I would like to check the list item from the web service to validate the licence field. However I got the message
getAllServiceNames is not function. I dont' know why??? I have spend a lot to time to fix but I it is not successful. Please help.
SOAP.wireDump = false;
var cListURL = "http://......wsdl/";
var e;
try
console.println("Start list retrieval");
var service = SOAP.connect(cListURL);
if(typeof service != "object")
console.println("Couldn't get List object");
if(service.getAllServiceNames == "undefined")
console.println("Couldn't get getAllServiceNames Call");
// Make the query
var result = service.getAllServiceNames();
if(result == null)
console.println("List returned nothing");
var count = 0;
var limit = 10;
form1.class1.body.licenceInfo.wellLicence.rawValue = limit;
catch(e)
console.println("Problem with list Call: " + e);
Thanks in advance, Cindy

Hi Cindy,
The SOAP.connect() function should return a JavaScript object that is a proxy for the webservice and so should have a method called getAllServiceNames (if that is an operation defined by the webservice).
I assume if you paste the WDSL address into a browser you see the WSDL definition.
The error you are getting suggests you are getting as far as the line "var result = service.getAllServiceNames();". Seems strange that you are getting past the line "if(service.getAllServiceNames == "undefined")".Maybe you could try a console.println(service.getAllServiceNames.toSource()) at this point and seeing what it actually is.
You could also try setting SOAP.wireDump to true which will add some debugging information
Are you seeing any of the 'Yellow Message Bar' messages in Reader (just under the toolbar). If your form has been generated from a different domain than the website you can get some cross domain issues. There is a log file under Acrobat's Preferences ... Security (Enhanced) ... "Cross domain log file" (you may have to restart Acrobat before the "View" button is enabled.

Recommended steps to generate a web service using nested complex types

Hello,
I need to generate a web service that uses nested complex types with built in types on the bottom layer. I hve posted an attempt at a WSDL. Please give advice on if I am doing it correctly.
I have the suspicion that I should nest the complex types into the final complex type VendorStockingInterface. Please confirm.

I'd like the the consumer of the web service to send it a document with the fields formatted to the VendorInterface complextype which contains the other complextypes. In return the consumer will get another document with some acknowledgement messages.
To make this happen I'd like to generate the web service, creating the complex type classes and XMLBeans. I'd like advice on the steps to take once I get a good WSDL.
There is also the option to go from the other direction. Is it better to attempt to create a schema XSD document instead and use that to work towards the web service and WSDL? If so, could someone give an example of how to format an XSD using my example needs.

I think I have got it all in place, though I have not tested it as of yet. For others who are looking at this, here is my XSD file from which all my complextypes were generated and lastly here is the actual web service file.

Question about FlyNet Web service generator

I downloaded the 30 day free trial of Xcelsius Engage Server so I could check out the FlyNet product. Can you not just take the compiled asmx and supporting files and drop them to a .Net Web server? When I do this my Web service returns this error in Xcelsius:
Error accessing CAL management service. Please check that the service is running.
If something needs to be configured on the .Net Web server then it will never work here since I will never be able to convince the server support area to install and maintain it.
thanks

Hello Jeremy,
Web Services generated with our Web service Generator have the connection string encrypted and must be used on the machine they were generated on. You cannot just take the .asmx object etc. and place on another server.
The Engage Server version of our product also uses CAL Licensing and checks that the Flynet CAL Licence Manager is running on the machine that the Web Service is generated on, it also requires a valid Engage Server key (the Xcelsius Engage Server key) to run.
Hope that answers your questions. If you need any further information on Flynet Web service Generator then please contact us here at Flynet.
E.Mail support AT Flynetviewer.com or you can e.mail me direct.

Can't find where to update SOAP header request on a Web Service

Hello,
I am consuming a certain Web Service from a remote Server and succefully created a client proxy for it.
This Web Service requires a String parameter (which is the licence key) to be inserted in the SOAP request header. I've searched at the client proxy I created under Virtual Interface, Web Service Definition and under Web Service Configuration but couldn't find an option which allows me to modify the SOAP header request.
At this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/a2/99af4e693dee43a0519e029549647b/content.htm
There is an explanation on how to transfer existing request parameters from the SOAP body to the SOAP header, but I want to add the header new parameter except the exsiting parameters the Web Service request expects.
I can of course write the request myself but than I loose the whole wizard advantage...
Can someone please tell me where can I find it?
Roy

How deploy PL/SQL Web Service through dev, test, production

Please can you assist with this simple question from someone new to the Java world.
I have created a set of web services from existing Stored Procedures in the development database. I now want to move these to the test database and later to UAT and finally to production. How do I change the data source to be used? A number of these will be on the same App Server but with different derivable names identifying the database to which they connect.
With my BPEL process I was able to use Ant with a Deployment Plan to do search and replace for changed parameters but I cannot find the equivalent for these Web Services. Using 10.1.3.4.
Any guidance appreciated.

In JDeveloper the Application entered is created as a folder on my PC. I was surprised to find that this is then used to form part of the URL for the web service.
This being a built in feature, lead us to the conclusion that we could use this to divide our web services between databases. The calling programs, all internal to the business, can derive the environment and establish the correct naming of the URL to link to the correct database.
We have licences for 2 physical Servers. We have 4 environments - dev, test, uat and production. What would be the normal method to run multiple environments on the same Application Server. We want production on 1 server and the others on the other server.
Are there guidelines for this situation.

Error while invoking a WS-Security secured web service from Oracle BPEL..

Hi ,
We are facing some error while invoking a WS-Security secured web service from our BPEL Process on the windows platform(SOA 10.1.3.3.0).
For the BPEL process we are following the same steps as given in an AMIS blog : - [http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1607/how-to-call-a-ws-security-secured-web-service-from-oracle-bpel]
but sttill,after deploying it and passing values in it,we are getting the following error on the console :-
“Header [http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing:Action] for ultimate recipient is required but not present in the message”
Any pointers in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi James,
Thanks for the quick reply.
We've tried to call that web service from an HTML designed in Visual Studios with the same username and password and its working fine.
But on the BPEL console, we are getting the error as mentioned.
Also if you can tell me how to set the user name and password in the header of the parter link.I could not find how to do it.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi,
I have no problem with item :P15_EV_LCL this is having a value my probem here is i am using java script to display the value in different color based on the condtion case
eg:
select
case
TRUNC((

),2)
= :P15_EV_LCL
then
span style="background-color:lightgreen"
|| TRUNC((
( (NVL(Z."AEWP",0) - NVL(Z."BEWP_Final",0) ) / DECODE(Z."BEWP_Final",0,NULL,Z."BEWP_Final") ) * 100
),2) || '%' || /span
else
span style="background-color:yellow"
|| TRUNC(

If i dont use this <Span style="Background-color:color"> i am able to generate data in excel sheet if i use this color coding i am not able to get data in spread sheet.
Please suggest

Unable to capture return values in web services api

At the time of login to web services if my server is down ,
it returns following error :
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
        at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1438)
        at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1411)
I want to capture this error so that i can try another server to login. how do i capture this error
Another place where i want to capture the return Value is when i look for a report on the server
rh = boBIPlatform.get("path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/"src_folder"/" + reportName +
                           "@SI_SCHEDULEINFO,SI_PROCESSINFO" ,oGetOptions);
oInfoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
Here if the report is not there on the server , it returns a null handler exception.
but if i try catching it by checking my responsehandler is null like rh == null it does not catch it.
Any help will be appreciated
thanks
Rakesh Gupta

Ted : i have two cases
1)   server = server_st.nextToken();
    providerURL = "http://"server"/dswsbobje/services";
    sessConnURL = new URL(providerURL + "/session");
   Connection boConnection = new Connection(sessConnURL);
   Session boSession = new Session(boConnection);
EnterpriseCredential boEnterpriseCredential = new    EnterpriseCredential();
              boEnterpriseCredential.setLogin(userid);
boEnterpriseCredential.setPassword(pwd);
boEnterpriseCredential.setAuthType(auth);
SessionInfo boSI = boSession.login(boEnterpriseCredential);
I have got a list of servers running web servcies stored in my tokens. when i pass the first server name say " test:8080" and that server is down , i want to catch somewhere in the code above that it did not get the connection so that i can loop back and try with the second server say test1:8080
This is for failover purposes.
at present when i was trying to capture return value of boSI it breaks giving the error
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1438)
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1411)
2nd case :
I am geeting reports from the server and scheduling them:
i run the following code which works fine if reports is there
rh = boBIPlatform.get("path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/"src_folder"/" + reportName +
"@SI_SCHEDULEINFO,SI_PROCESSINFO" ,oGetOptions);
oInfoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
Here if the report is not there on the server then i should be able to catch from the response handle rh that it has got a null value.
but rh does not return a null value
the code ultimately throws a null handle at the following line
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
i am not able to catch the null value there also.
hope you got my issue.

How to allow access to web service running under ApplicationPoolIdentity

Hi All,
I have a WCF web service hosted in IIS 7 (or maybe 7.5, whichever comes with Windows server 2008 R2) using DefaultAppPool running under ApplicationPoolIdentity per Microsoft's recommendation. The web service needs to call a stored procedure to insert data
to a db. The web server is on a different VM than the database server. The db server is running SQL 2008 R2. Both VMs run Windows server 2008 R2.
When the web service tries to connect to db, it encounters this exception:
Exception in InsertToDb()System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)
Here's the connection string in web.config:
Application Name=somewebservice;Server=somewebserver;Integrated Security=SSPI;Database=somedatabase;Connection Timeout=60"
How should I configure SQL security to make this work?
Thanks in advanced.

Thanks for the link Dan. Maybe I'm the one who cause the confusion :)
If I understand you(and Erland) correctly, you suggest using a custom, domain account for application pool identity. However, if we do that, our IT will need to maintain those accounts, and they don't want that. So I'm choosing a built-in account called
ApplicationPoolIdentity as the application pool identity, but it's not working. Network Service, on the other hand, works, but my boss wants us to follow MS's best practice.
What's puzzling is that according to this: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/624/application-pool-identities/, both Network Service and ApplicationPoolIdentity uses machine account to access network resource (like db in this case), but in my case, Network Service
works, but not ApplicationPoolIdentity.
Hallo Stephen,
with respect - it seems to me that only idiots are working at your IT ;)... It is absolutely useful to work with "service accounts" created within the domain. That's the only way to manage and control accounts!
If you want to "pass through" the identity of the web user (SSO) you have to check whether the app pool is set to "allow impersonate". As far as I understand the ApplicationPoolIdentity-function the app pool will create a unique user named as the service.
I assume that will not work with the connection to the sql server because this user is unknown.
Local Service will not work because it's restriction is located to the local machine.
Network Service will work because access to network resources will be available.
So my recommendation is to use a dedicated service account or impersonation:

How do I use the Web Services API to query orders?

The help doc states, "you can retrieve details for purchases including products purchased, payments received, and their status." The only additional info is at the link to eCommerce-Related Web Service, which does not include any information about retrieving "products purchased, payments received, and their status."

Hey if you read over that again you have two links, the other is this one:

Web Service deployed with admin_client is not working

Hi,
I'm usung SOA Suite 10.1.3.1 and Eclipse WTP 3.2.2.
The thing is that I developed a Web Service with Eclipse using the plugin for generating web services. Then I exported my project to a .war file from eclipse as well.
For deploy my web service in oc4j, I tried from the oc4j console in Applications --> Deploy and Next-Next wizard and using the .war file generated by Eclipse. I got the application deployed and I can check that the wsdl is working in http://localhost:8888/Hello_Web2/services/Hello?wsdl
But the main problem is when I try to deploy using the admin_client command tool running the command: java -jar admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:opmn://localhost/home oc4jadmin welcome1 -deploy -file d:\TEMP\Hello_Web.war -deploymentName Web5 -contextRoot "/". Everything seems right, I can see the application created in the console, but when I try to access to the web service using "http://localhost:8888/Hello_Web2/services/Hello?wsdl" I get and Http 404.
What is wrong with the command method?
Many thanks in Advance,
Alberto

Hi,
As the custom web part works well in other browsers, the issue may be related to the IE itself.
Have you tried the methods below?
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works.
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Trusted Sites->add the site into the zone
What’s more, you can also switch the Document mode to IE 10 or lower to check whether it works.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason

Questions on using a SOAP web service's data in a Crystal Reports report

I'm attempting to create a report using CR 2008, accessing data from a SOAP web service. I've run into a few problems, and need some advice.
1) CR doesn't seem to support WSDL files that use relative URI imports (for example, I have a relatively complicated WSDL file that imports other WSDL files and schemas using relative URI locations). To solve this problem, I have downloaded all of the files to my local hard drive, and changed the "location" attributes to point to local files. Is there any other solution to this problem?
2) CR doesn't seem to support circular references within schema files. To solve this problem, I have removed circular references from my local schema files. Of course, my actual web service will still potentially return data structures with these circular dependencies. Is there any other solution to this problem?
3) CR doesn't seem to support request documents that allow for arrays of elements. For example, my schema allows the user to specify an array of Instruments that should be returned by the web service. In the meantime, I have changed the schema to only specify single instances of the Instrument element in the request. Is there any other solution to this problem?
4) CR doesn't seem to support empty values for optional attributes that are specified in the schema. So, when the "Enter Values" parameter form appears, I am required to enter values for these attributes, even though they are listed as optional in the schema. To avoid this problem, I have commented out the optional attribute values in the schema. Is there any other solution to this problem?
5) When the schema specifies that a value is based on a restricted simple (string) type, the CR parameter form shows a drop list with ellipses (...), but the drop list does not contain the enumerated types specified in my schema. Instead, I must manually enter a value. Do you know of any reason why the drop list is not populated?
6) The SOAP response document from my web service is relatively complicated. So, in the "Data" page of the Standard Report Creation Wizard, each and every XML element level of the response document listed in the schema is shown as a separate entry. If I choose just the top level element ("fetchInstrumentSetResponse"), then very little data is shown on the next page of the wizard (only the ID attribute). But, if I select each and every element type from the response document, CR prompts me for the request document parameters for each row I have selected (I see the same form 30+ times), even though there really should only be a single SOAP request to the web service to return this response document. It seems to be treating each of these elements as a separate "database table", with a different query string for each. Am I using this feature incorrectly?
If you can point me to somewhere in the documentation that handles this in more detail, that would be great (all I could find were the step-by-step instructions on how to connect to a web service as a data source).
Thanks!
