Web services for BW reports

Hi,
We have an existing portal which is running on SAP Application Server, which has ABAP codes. to connect and read SAP bw reports.
We are developing an external j2ee web pages which can access the reports.
We were thinking if we can publish the BW reports as web services and create an external consumer web service application.
Is this possible? What changes we may need to do on SAP end?
Thanks for any reply.Hope this is the correct place to post.

This example is using EP. we donot have EP configured for BW reposts.
There is a frontend BSP pages running on SAP application server.
Will we be able to create and publish new and existing reports of BW to a in house Consumer web service?

How to create web service for database application

Hi everyone
Is it possible to create a web service for an apex database application page which has reports and radio fields and dialog boxes and validations in it. IF it is possible to create, pls help me with example or step by step procedure. I have seen all oracle docs of implementation of Web services in apex but unable to figure out how to get that link of wsdl for an application.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I guess there are other ways. But this is an easy way, if you find the right wizards.
Besides this it is good practise to define interface methods so that session bean implement these interface methods, and thus seperate the interface from the implementation.
In this approach you will need 3 projects:
An enterprise application project (will contain EJB Module)
An EJB Module project (will contain session bean)
A Java project (contains code that implements the session bean methods)
In my previous post I suggested to use a J2EE web mudule project. This was a mistake, it should be EJB module.
But it should be possible to do it in another way. It is up to you.
Good luck, Roelof

Difference between Web Service URL and Report Manager URL

What is the difference between Web Service URL and Report Manager URL in Reporting Service configuration manager in SQl Server 2008 Reporting Setrvices

Another way to put it is the Web Service URL is just that, its used for services that are connecting to issue API calls. The Report Manager URL is the nice GUI that users should use. If you click the links, you should see the difference. I
am sure you have likely done that, but functionally one is for programmatic purposes and the other to be the front end graphical user interface.
Sometimes pictures help as well...

How to enable Web services for CP 1525nw

Hi,
I am unable to use ePrint for LaserJet CP 1525nw. Printer connected over WiFi. Tried to Enable Web services and saw the message "Connection error Check connection". Firmware is up-to-date. Use the printer in different applications on PC, iPad and iPhone. Everything is working well not ePrint. HP diagnostics did not describe any problems.

Hello Prophet097,
Setting manual network information may help the enabling of Web Services for ePrint on your printer.
To do so:
On the printer's control panel, press "OK" two times to access the reports menu.
Press the right arrow to select "Network Summary" and press "OK" to print the report.
Open an internet browser on a computer within the same network as the printer.
In the address bar, type the printer's "IPv4 Address" and press "Enter", this should take you to a page about your printer.
Click on the "Network" tab at the top of the page.
Click on "IPv4 Configuration" on the left-hand side.
Click the bubble to the left of "Manual" to allow you to input manual settings.
Input the same information from the "Network Summary" into the fields for "IP Address", "Subnet Mask", and "Default Gateway".
Note- None of those fields should be "0.0.0.0"0 or "169.254.xx.xx". If they are, there maybe network issues with the printer.
In the "Preferred DNS Server" and "Alternate DNS Server", this could vary by the size of your network.
-Preferred DNS Server- If you are on a small network, input the same value as the "Default Gateway".
-Alternate DNS Server- If you are on a small network, input either "0.0.0.0" or "8.8.8.8."
Note- If you are on a domain, you may have specific DNS Server information that needs to be in the fields.
Click "Apply" on the page.
Power the printer off and then on.
Try to enable Web Services again.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"

After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"
The system logs reads:
Mar 29 22:06:25 server servermgrd[82]: servermgr_web: Error Domain=XSServerFoundationErrorDomain Code=4 "Failed to read settings: Exception:
          undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass
          ." UserInfo=0x7fc547901080 {NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to read settings: Exception:
          undefined method `downcase' for nil:NilClass

To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect. That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

Thanks Venu for your input.
Unfortunetly we do not have Java stack on our development system. You said we can test it by SOAP UI tool. Where do I see the WSDL file for the service?
I used WSDL from SE80 --> Service --> WSDL tab, but SOAP UI does not accept this format ?
What are the other ways I can test this web service? I think about SAP PI, importing RFC & creating web service or creating ABAP proxies... Which is the best way to go forward in case you do not have Java stck.

Issue in creating web service for a ABAP Function Module

Hi,
now i'm learning how to create web service for a ABAP Function Module. I used the following steps.
1. select the Function Module, named "zws_test".
2. in the context menu, select "create->proxy object". so we enter into wizard.
3. in the wizard, press the radio button "Service Provider".
4. in the next page, press the radio button "Existing ABAP Objects(Inside Out)".
5. In the next page, Enter the "zws_test_prvider" as Service Definition and select "Function Module" as Endpoint Type.
6. in the next page, enter "zws_test" as Function Module and mark the "Mapping der Namen" button
7. in the next page,select "PRF_DT_IF_SEC_LOW" as Profile and mark "Deploy Service".
8. Save in the local package.
9. then it will pop up a window with title "WSDL Source". i selected "URL/HTTP Destination" and press "OK".
10.in the next page, i enter the URL as "http://hostname:portnumber/", and press "OK".
11. then it will pop up a window with title "Display logs". A record with error message "HTTP error(return code 404, message "Not found")" appears.
12. i press "ok" and a service provider with name "zws_test_prvider" appears in my local package.
13. i use "zws_test_prvider"'s URL to create a service consumer "ZCO_WS_TEST_CONSUMER" and logic portal "LP1".
14. But when i test my service consumer "ZCO_WS_TEST_CONSUMER", it will throw an exception "cx_ai_system_fault" with errortext "SOAP:14 Unexpected element -el=definitions ns=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/".
15. I use t-code SM59 to test connection and get the following info.
      Status HTTP Response     200
      Status Text                      OK
      Duration Test Call             328 ms.
who can give me the reasons about item 11 and 14, and explain me how to create service provider and service consumer for a Function Module.
Thanks in advance

XI for create web servicies for SAP R/3 4.6C

Hi All,
we are implementing PM (Plant Management) module of SAP R/3 4.6C and we have the necessity to create web services for some PM functionalities. Infact we need to integrate our SAP R/3 4.6C with other applications (non-SAP) through TIBCO (it's mandatory). So we think to use SAP XI. Moreover our users don't want to use SAP GUI for the accessing to the PM functionalities but they want an UI more friendly. So we think to use SAP EP.
Which is your opinion about this architectural scenario? Is it possible to fulfil the requirement of our business users with a more simple architectural solution (for example with WEB DYNPRO)?
Many thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Regards,
Bob

Infact we need to integrate our SAP R/3 4.6C with other applications (non-SAP) through TIBCO (it's mandatory). So we think to use SAP XI.
TIBCO is another middleware. So once you expose your R/3 functionalities as web service, you may directly use TIBCO to integrate and XI won't be required at all.
Moreover our users don't want to use SAP GUI for the accessing to the PM functionalities but they want an UI more friendly.
WebDynpro application would provide you an easy GUI and could act as Soap client as well to send data.

Prateek

Consuming a Web service from Crystal reports 2008 - Error

Hi,
I want to consume a web service from Crystal Reports 2008. I created a New Connection using "XML and Web Services" and given WSDL url as the Web Service location. Crystal Report is able to connect to the WSDL and is displaying the tags correctly. When dragging the output to "Selected Tables' section, I am getting the following error:
"Invalid Argument Provided"
Details: Cannot support ArrayType input parameters.
Kindly help. Apparently this was a limitation in CR XI but does it still exist in CR 2008? Is there any patch available to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Jaya

Create a Web Service for Exchange with form based authentication ?

I want to create a Web Service in Apex that can create appointments in my exchange calendar. Exchange is offering web services for that.
When i try to create the web service reference in Apex i provide the URL and my Exchange login, but it is failing.
The exchange guys told me, that there is a ISA Server running where i need to authenticate through a form.
Does anyone know, how i can implement a webservice in Apex, when the access to the wsdl url needs login through a form ?
Or : what other types of authentication does Apex know ? What possibilities do i have ?
Thanks for answers.
Bernd

Hi
Presume you've already found this information, but in case not ....
Exchange 2007 provides out of the box web services, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb408417.aspx
As a disclaimer - neither myself of the team I work with have tried to use these web services within APEX.

Creating Web service for PL/SQL Procedure with Complex Data Types

I need to created web service for PL/SQL Procedure with Complex Data types like table of records as parameters, how do we map the pl/sql table type parameters with web service, how to go about these?

Hello,
When you are creating a service from a Stored Procedure, the OracleAS WS tools will create necessary Java and PL wrapper code to handle the complex types (table of record) properly and make them compatible with XML format for SOAP messages.
So what you should do is to use JDeveloper or WSA command line, to create a service from your store procedure and you will see that most of the work will be done for you.
You can find more information in the:
- Developing Web Services that Expose Database Resources
chapter of the Web Service Developer's guide.

How to write a web service for uploading a file

Hi all,
I want to write a web service for uploading a file to some specified folder under application server, how to do that? Thanks

I believe the "difference" that you're seeing is that one web service is "RPC" style (The Hello World example) and one web service is "Document" style (The WSDL you have downloaded).
Document-style web service methods always have one element as a parameter, and this parameter manifests itself as a SOAPElement in the service interface.
RPC-style web services are true "remote procedure calls", and are more functional in nature, in that they accept multiple parameters. JAX-RPC will bind these parameters to generated Java types.
