WebService action in BLS

I exposed a BLS transaction using
http://<server:port>/XMII/WSDLGen/<transaction name>.
Is it possible to communicate with this transaction through a WebService action block in another transaction.?
I have successfully used the WebService action block to communicate with a Java WebService hosted in axis2 environment.
Please help
Thanks and Regards,
Rajath

Thanks Michael
I have a simple transaction which writes a file in to some location. I exposed this transaction using WSDLGen. And configured a BLS WebService action using the above URI in another transaction.
When i executed the second transaction, i got an error : "Error invoking WebServer Action:null".
I have given the sufficient security permissions to both the transactions and had also give the login credentials with admin privilege. What could be wrong???
Any help?

Rajath

Define the WebService action URL as a parameter

Hi there,
I would like to ask a question related to the use of the WebService action block.
I've been using this action with no major issues, but would like to set the WSDL URL to be defined by a parameter. It could be in the shared memory, in the global properties, or somewhere else that is centralized. I've done some testing on this, but had no success...
Every real world project will have at least three different environments (DEV, QA and PRD), each with different settings for the web services that it must connect to, so I believe that a lot of people have dealt with this kind of problem.
Please give me your insight on how to do that.
I'm hoping not to get the answer: go to each action block and change the URL manually....
Thanks!

Sorry Jamie,
which is exactly the action parameter to which i can link dinamically different soap address?
I'm using 12.0.11 build (21) and I can see in the action these parameters:
WSDLBaseUrl
WSDLURL
Username
Password ecc..
Should I pass the link to the WSDL or what?
For example I have 3 web services on different machine (web services are identical), only deployed in different machines
Should I pass to WSDLBaseUrl, after importing the structure
"http://hostname:port/SapImport/WebService.asmx?WSDL"
or something else?
Thanks

Unable to load webservice using webservice action block

Using Calculation Action in BLS Transaction

I'm trying to pass the values of two tags in a tag query into a calculation action in a BLS transaction and add the two values together. I'm linking the action result property to the expression that does the calculation. When I click on the 'Evaluate' button in the link editor I get the correct result but the action result itself is always zero and zero gets passed into my next action block. Any ideas? (I'm using xMII 11.5 SP3)

Thanks, Jeremy. The variables coming out of my tag query are doubles. I'm not sure how to tell what the data type of the calculation "result" variable is.
My result variable for each calculation always seemed to be zero (I mean I would hover my mouse pointer over "result" and I'd see a zero). I decided to write my results out to a text file and it looked OK so I'm not sure why I was seeing zeroes in the link editor.
In any event, my output from the transaction seems to be OK so I'm ready to declare success and move on.

Reg PDF Action in BLS

Hi All,
I am using a query which retrieves records and sends it into a pdf document.In the PDF document so generated i am getting Query column names only in first page.I would like to have it in all pages of the PDF document. Please help me at the earliest.
Thanks and regards,
Ravi Kumar

Unfortunately, you'll need to do the "splitting" in BLS logic, with a repeater action.
1) Create your PDF document action.
2) Create an "empty" xMII document identical to your query results, but with no rows (you can do this by copying the entire document and then deleting the Rows, or by other techniques).
3) Loop through each record in your query using a repeater and append the row to your empty document. When your desired per-page rowcount has been achieved (using a Local variable as a counter), add a PDFTable to the PDFDocument, then clear/empty the xMII document.
I hope this gives you the start of an idea for managing this situation. I prototyped a few new actions that use the PDF rendering engine in WebAS and allow you to use the Adobe PDF forms designer for building reports. The xMII team is looking at potentially adding them to the product or providing them as "freeware" here on SDN.

SharePoint Workflow : Call HTTP Webservice action throwing Forbidden Error

Hi,
I have configured workflow which takes value from one workflow variable and opens another List and creates a List item.
I used these as reference:
http://mysharepointinsight.blogspot.in/2013/05/using-sharepoint-rest-services-from.html
and
https://sergeluca.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/calling-the-sharepoint-2013-rest-api-from-a-sharepoint-designer-workflow/
Below is the call HTTP action.
Call https://skmsppd.accenture.com/NorthEu... HTTP web service with Variable: POST_Parameters (ResponseContent to response |ResponseHeaders to responseHeaders |ResponseStatusCode to Variable: POST_ResponseCode
While creating Header dictionary, I added a key "Authorization" and value was left blank.
But when execute workflow, new item is not getting created and getting Response code as "Forbidden"
Below is the Workflow History I get:
I want to insert Test 13 to the destination List. But its not working. Please let me know what I need to do?
Regards, Shreyas R S

Hi.
Why don't you use the "Create Item" action?
The list on wich you want to create this item is in the same site collection in wich your wf is running?

WebService Action Block Return Type

Hi ,
   I would like to know on xMII 11.5 RC2 if the Webservice can only return
   it's XML data in a standard Iluminator Row Set structure or is there a way
   that one can get the return XML in a cutom format i.e.
    <ROOT>
          <MYDATA>blah blah</MYDATA>
    <ROOT>
Regards

On xMII XML format via the WebService (WSDLGen) mechanism, but you can return any xMII XML format via the Runner mechanism.
URL is something like: /Lighthammer/Runner?Transaction=YourTransaction&OutputParameter=DesiredXMLOutputParameter
There are more complex techniques that can be used to have xMII emulate any webservice with any inputs and outputs, but those involve creation of custom WSDL files and are probably a bit lengthy for an SDN post.

Error calling BLS Transaction as Web service

Hi,
I am trying to call BLS tranx as Webservice from another BLS Tranx.
I craeted the simple BLS with no input parameter and set only one output parameter.
Then i created the WSDL as
http://<server:port>/XMII/WSDLGen/<Transaction path>.
In new BLS tranx, i created the Web Service action block and gave this WSDL URL (http://<server:port>/XMII/WSDLGen/<Transaction path>).
I gave username and password and selected the port(XacuteWSSoap) and then operation( xacute).
In Links, I gave the Loginname and Password.
But while executing, it showed the error as
Error Invoking Web Service Action: Status (401): Unauthorized
My username and Loginname and passwords are correct only.
What is the problem and how to solve it.

Error Invoking Web Service Action: null

I am using the WEBSERVICE action in the BLS to access a third party system. I am getting an error during execution: [ERROR]: Error Invoking Web Service Action: null. I cannot find any messages in any of the logs. Even though the action fails, the remote WebService processes properly. My basis guy seems to think that it is related to SOAP incompatibilities/versions. Any other ideas floating around out there? Any other methods to troubleshoot? The external application uses Document-Literal Style web services and conforms to WS-I Basic Profile.

All -
Here is a trace. My remote web service returns an empty SOAP body upon success (SOAP envelope only). Is this causing the Null Pointer Exception??
PS - I am also getting a lot of "WARNING: received an illegal cookie" messages. Is this a problem.

Error Invoking Web Service Action: Status (500): null

Hi forum
I am getting an "Invoking Web Service Action: Status (500): null" error when invoking a web service action block . The BLS transaction used as a web service outputs a text string which I tested using an xacute query . while executing the transaction as a web service the tracer tells me that there is no output .
Best regards,
Antonio

XMII WebService shows error as - SOAP Service could not be loaded: null

Dear Friends,
   I'm doing the xMII <-> XI <-> RFC scenario with the reference of the blog: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/8703. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] I just create an asyncronous scenario. Sender with SOAP adapter and receiver with RFC adapter. After creating the WSDL file from the scenario, I stored it in the xMII server path D:XISendere10099xMII_integration_1_Outbound_MI.wsdl. Then in the WebService action block of xMII BLT, I gave the URL as this file path, user name and password of XI server and click Next. Then I got the error message as SOAP Service could not be loaded: null.
   Please give the solution for this issue.
Regards,
Jagan.

Dear Selvam,
   Actually I checked those things already. Everything is fine. I executed already HTTP <-> XI <-> xMII scenario and it was working fine. I checked with SendSMS.wsdl file now. That is also working fine. I am attaching the WSDL file, which I am using, for reference. This file is working fine in SOAPSonar and data posted in SAP R/3 table. But it is showing the error in xMII as "SOAP Service could not be loaded: null".

HTTP Post Action Block

Greetings all,
I am using a HTTP Post Action in BLS - Vs 11.5.
The objective is to return a HTTP string from a jsp page, so I can scrap the page.
The URL: http://mospublic.ercot.com/ercot/jsp/balancing_services_mcp.jsp?marketdate=2008-06-16   (obviously you might have to change the date to Yesterdays Date)
I have set up the HTTP Post Action with
URL Address of:   http://mospublic.ercot.com/ercot/jsp/balancing_services_mcp.jsp
Post Document:   marketdate=2008-06-16
Encoding: UTF-8
ID and Password are provided
Content Type:   application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Post_0.ReturnAsString comes back with typical HTML content for Today's Date.
Testing has shown that on a fresh IE window. Using the above url will show today's data.
Hitting this url again the second time will get the browser to yesterday's data.
So any suggestions on how to make this happen.
(btw, I have no control over the external public ERCOT website so changing thier jsp page isn't an option.)
Anyway we could emulate that action in BLS - v11.5?
Thanks
Dennis

It's not working for me???
Did that work for you?

Calling Enterprise Services through xMII Web Service action block

Hi All,
I'm calling some Enterprise Service through xMII Web Service action block.
After providing URL and user credentials, I'm getting error "SOAP Service could not be loaded: The element type 'p' must be terminated by the matching end-tag '</p>'."
Can anyone point out what might be the reason ?
Thanks,
Sumit

If you haven't already, try using the browser from the xMII server machine rather than your own (client).
The error that you recieve usually means that instead of a WSDL an HTML is being returned when you use the WebService action block.
Possible reasons - as Jeremy pointed out - improper credentials or some error with the webservice itself.
Another thing you can possibly try out - use some web service analyser to access the webservice . There's one that goes by the name StrikeIron which is a freeware.Pretty neat tool.
