Using Webservice as data source in BI publisher data model

Hi All,
i want to expose data from share point through a webservice and use that webservice as a data source in Bi Publisher. But i am not able to use the webservice directly since it is a external web service.
For that i made below config changes. But it is causing weblogic server starting issues.
MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/DOMAIN_NAME/bin/
EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES="-Dhttp.proxyHost=Hostname -Dhttp.proxyPort=80 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=localhost|hostname ${EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES}"

WebService Pluggable Data Source - When there is no proxy...

Hi there,
I'm trying to set up a report using the Webservice PDS, and keep getting errors.
(I'm using Dev Suite 10g, Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on WinXP SP3)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/pluginxchange/index.html
I believe that my setup is OK, I've followed the directions from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/pluginxchange/plugins/datasource/webservicePDS/readme.html
ie:
the soap.jar, WsPDS.jar and jdev-rt.jar files are all present in C:\Frs1002\reports\jlib
All three files and the above location are in my REPORTS_CLASSPATH registry setting.
I've also added in the line to my cauprefs.ora file as required:
"oracle.reports.plugin.datasource.wspds.WSDataSourceFactory",
But...
The webservice that I'm trying to access is external to my network, however I don't use a proxy - I use a gateway to access the net.
As such, I've attempted to put my gateway address into the proxyinfo.xml file, and then enabled the proxyinfo in the bottom of the rwbuilder.conf file, but then when I run report builder and use the wizard; like in the Oracle given example, I get an error when clicking 'Query Definition': "WSPDS-100: Error while Extracting Config File! null."
I don't have a config file for WSPDS, only the jar files that were with the installation zip. Am I missing something?
If I remove the information from proxyinfo.xml and change the rwbuilder.conf back to the way it was, I don't get the error, but when I put in the URL for the WSDL document, when I click next, nothing happens.
(I've checked the WSDL link - it's fine.)
Am I missing a wspds.conf file?
Do I put in something else in the proxyinfo.xml file instead of my gateway?
Any assistance or suggestions appreciated.
Ron.

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?

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

Webservice Data Source is Not Overwriting after Transport

Hi,
I have a Webservice Data Source which is loading XML based Data to DSO & Then to Infocube.
In development I it is working fine even Loading Delta perfectly. Then moved it production.
Again due to some client request I have made changes in Web Service Data Source & DSO & Infocube.It is also worked fine in Development. Again moved to production.
But after moving to production all objercts of DSO/Infocube changes are fine. Even Transformation/DTP is as it is with Development for upload from DSO To Infocube.
Issue : The New Webservice datasource is not overwriting Old one, same also applies Transforamtion/DTP too.
I need How to Overwrite it Datasource/Transforamation/DTP with new objects of same in Development.
Please suggest.

Subhadarshi

Hello Prem,
I think you might be working on BI 7.0 and this datasource you are talking of is a 3.x datasource?
I have observed that when we activate a 3.x datasource in 7.0 system and replicate it in BI, it shows a modified status, but when you create a dataflow above it it becomes active. I think the datasource you have sent to production has no dataflow above it. Send the dataflow above transports for the datasource and it will get activated.
Please let me know if you need any more information.

Webservices data sources (again)

I can not get any webservices data sources working with RTF templates and neither when pressing View in the backend. The fields are not populated in the generated documents and yet when having no template defined and pressing View (template=Data) I can see the webservice response data in the backend.
Has anybody got web service data sources with "Complex type = true" working ?
Does anybody know such a web service available on the internet, that can be used for testing ?
Does anybody know what the exact criteria are for a web service to satisfy "Complex Type = false" ?
In the documentation the stock quote example is for "Complex type = false" but the wsdl contains 4 webservices with the same operation name.

Hi,
Help says:
<i>A DataSource consists of a quantity of fields that are offered for data transfer into BI. The DataSource is technically based on the fields of the extraction structure. By defining a DataSource, these fields can be enhanced as well as hidden (or filtered) for the data transfer.
Additionally, the DataSource describes the properties of the associated extractor with regard to data transfer to BI. Upon replication, the BI-relevant properties of the DataSource are made known in BI.</i>
So we can say the Datasource consists of part of the metadata of ES. So physically it does not hold the data.

WebService Data Source

Today on the home page of OTN: download the new WebService Data Source. On the download page, it is announced "soon". Yet another time the announcement is too early. But I'm getting used to it that a product is really there a couple of months after the announcement. It's a pity.

Vincent
Apologies, and thanks for bringing this to our attention. We did post it at this time, however we forgot to externalize the new page with the link. The plugin exchange page will be refreshed soon, but in the meanwhile, here is the direct link to the web services pluggable data source:

Create a Generic Data Source and deploy a webservice on a domain using WLST

Hello for everyone,
I usually create generic data sources and deploy webservices on a wls domain by using the Administrator Console. I wonder if you can pass me a script sample to do this task by using WSLT. On the other hand, if you can pass me a "quick start" guide about WLST, this would be very helpful.
Additionally, may I be able to create groups, application roles and users to a domain by using WLST?
Thanks for your help.

You can use standard infoobjects as well..
You can create a view on those R/3 tables and use this view for creating a generic datsource in RSO2 transaction..

Problem connecting PowerPivot's (Office 2013) Data Model deployed on SharePoint 2013 to data source.

Hello:
Our configurations is as follow : SharePoint 2013 is on Server A; SQL Server Analysis server (SQL 2014) is on DB Server B;
SharePoint databases (sp_ ...) and our Data Mart (SQL 2014) are on server B. All servers runs Windows 2012 OS.
On my desktop I built a simple Excel 2013 workbook with PowerPivot Data Model that imported several tables from our Data Mart (server B above). Then created a Power View report. Locally everything works fine.
But when I uploaded this workbook to our SharePoint PowerPivot gallery and was trying to refresh data, I got the connection error: It’s very long but the ErrorCode is “rsCannotRetriveModel”. The end of the error message is:
'TemporaryDataSource'.</Message><MoreInformation><Source>Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SPClient</Source>
<Message>Call to Excel Services returned an error.</Message>

Our Excel Services on the SharePoint work fine and refresh data on different excel workbooks (with no Data Model) just fine. We are using an unattended account for Excel Services to connect from SharePoint server to our databases. Found a few references

Hi Jeff,
Firstly, I need to confirm whether you are refreshing Data connection in browser, since Data Refresh is not supported in Office Web Apps. Please refer more information in this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/excel_services__powerpivot_for_sharepoint_support_blog/archive/2013/01/31/powerpivot-for-sharepoint-browser-refresh-fails-data-refresh-not-supported-in-office-web-apps.aspx
From the error "Call to Excel Services returned an error", please verify the location of the
data source, for example an Excel workbook, is registered as a trusted location with Excel Services:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219699(v=office.15).aspx
Since you are using unattended account for Excel Services to connect from SP to databases, I wonder if the issue occurs to unattended referesh, if so, please refer to:

No data in generated document/web service data source/complex response type

I can define a report with a template with the BI Publisher server and the Template Builder Desktop plugin. When I use an sql statement as data source the preview functionality in Word and in the browser (logged in to the server) results in a correct report, with the correct data from the data source.
When I use a web service as a data source I can still generate and preview reports but no data from the data source is visible in the reports. However this data is available in the Template Builder plugin in MS-Word.
How do I know this ? When I try to insert a field from the data source into my rtf template the plugin shows a screen with the available fields. Or actually, the screen shows all fields returned by a dummy call to the web service. When I click on a field it shows the value returned by the web service just after the test "Example". I have set up my web service such that it always returns the same response.
The field I want to show is in a repeating record, but it does not make a difference when I surround it by a group:
<?for-each-group:/getValidationGroupsResponse/body/validationGroupList/validationGroup[1];./name?><?name?><?end for-each-group?>
Neither does looping over all fields display any data:
<?for-each-group:/getValidationGroupsResponse/body/validationGroupList/validationGroup;./name?><?name?><?end for-each-group?>
The fact that the response of my web service data source contains repeating records might be different from what others have tested so far.
I also found two other features when defining reports. I mention them here because they could be related to my problem. When I define two data source for my report, a web service and an sql query then only the fields from the sql query are visible in MS-Word/Template Builder. Even when the Data Model specifies the web service as "Main Data Set". And the "Default data source" is always a database even when the Data Model only defines a web service as "Data Set".

Unfortunately I can not test against a public webservice and follow the examples in the tutorials, since BI Publisher does not seem to offer any proxy configuration to connect to the internet.
My local webservice returns the following data, visible when viewing the report from the backend, when no template has been defined yet:
<ns2:getValidationGroupsResponse xmlns:ns2="amsterdam/wabo/services/data/validationOperations" xmlns="amsterdam/wabo/services/data/common">
<ns2:responseHeader>
<resultaatcode>OK</resultaatcode>
</ns2:responseHeader>
<ns2:body>
<ns2:validationGroupList>
<ns2:validationGroup>
<ns2:name>testgroep1</ns2:name>
<ns2:caption>kop1</ns2:caption>
<ns2:description>Voor testen ontvankelijkheidstest 1</ns2:description>
</ns2:validationGroup>
<ns2:validationGroup>
<ns2:name>testgroep2</ns2:name>

<ns2:description>Voor testen ontvankelijkheidstest 2</ns2:description>
</ns2:validationGroup>
</ns2:validationGroupList>
</ns2:body>
</ns2:getValidationGroupsResponse>
After defining the template, the values of the first group are visible in MS-Word as well, as example values.
I put the the template in a public place:

An error occurred while loading the model for the item or data source 'EntityDataSource'.

Hi Team,
We are trying to configure the Power View in SharePoint 2013. We did the entire configuration by following below steps. When we open the excel workbook (2013) containing
Power View sheet (using excel web services) deployed in SharePoint Document library, we get the below error.
“An error occurred while loading the model for the item or data source
'EntityDataSource'. Verify that the connection information is correct and that you have permissions to access the data source.”
Steps followed for configuring Power View in SharePoint Server 2013 (Single Machine setup):
Installed SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise edition
Did not configure it at this time
Installed SQL Server 2012 with default instance installation (selected every features)
Later installed SP1 for SQL Server 2012
After that installed Analysis Server in SharePoint mode (SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint)
Again installed another Analysis Server and selected the tabular mode of data model
Then ran the configuration wizard of Share point 2013 for farm configuration (only for central admin creation)
Later we ran the PowerPivot for SharePoint 2013 (spPowerpivot.msi)
Then using the Power Pivot Configuration tool for 2013 and completed all the steps and configured the excel service and registered the above two analysis service instances.
Questions/Doubts are:
Is our steps followed as mentioned above is correct for configuring Power View in SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise edition?
Is the SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition with SP1 installed is sufficient to view Power View sheets in SharePoint 2013 or we need to use the SQL Server 2012 SP1
CTP3 software for Power View feature as mentioned in the below link.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219634.aspx
but we don’t have an option to download CTP3 software now from Microsoft site
Or do we need to install
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 With Power View For Multidimensional Models
CTP
http://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/download/details.aspx?id=35822
Few blogs says that SQL Server 2012 instance should have been installed with SP1 at one go (not seperately).

Please help me in configuring Power View for SharePoint 2013.
Thanks in advance.
Pavan Kumar

I'll bet that I know the answer to this one - and you probably won't like it ;)
Here's the telling portion of that error: "We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model."
This error is thrown in two scenarios; the first, when you haven't registered an analysis server. The second appears to be the issue you're having:
PowerPivot requires SQL Server 2012 SP1. Microsoft issued a release of SQL Server 2012 SP1 that really wasn't SP1...
Check the version of SQL that you are running. It should be version 11.0.3000 or greater. If it's not, you have the wrong "SP1" installed. The correct one is
here.
Here's the bad news- you can't simply redeploy the correct one... because the installer already thinks that SP1 is installed. You'll have to backup (or detach and copy) your databases, then re-install SQL with the correct SP1, then restore or reattach
the databases. Once you've done that, PowerPivot and PowerView will work properly.
I sincerely hope this resolves your issues - we wasted TWO WEEKS of our time with this problem!

Problem in activating the data source using a web service

Hi all,
I have created a web service with Logical and Source System names and i have selected nothing in the Type and Release.
Activated the created web service.
Later i tried creating a data source based on this web service source system and tried activating the data sources.
But it is throwing an error saying that error generating the Web Service /BIC/CQWEB_SER_000020000 and error while activating the data source.
Can any one say why is this happening and is there any pre requisites to be done while creating the web service?
what is the use of Type and Release while creating the webservice?
Thanks,
Pra.

Hi
Please consider reference tables also while creating view, otherwise it won't accept when there are amount and currency fields.
Please have a look at the below url
