Xcelsisus - qaaws - prompt from webi

Hello,
using XI 3.1 sp2 fix pack 2.3 and xcelsius 2008.
in xcelsius 2008 i have a connection with a web service which is from a tab webi document published with webi rich client.
this webi doc have a simple prompt (not date).
In xcelsius i select getreportblock and map input valueofprompt with an excel cell.
what is index ? what have i to put in index value ?
It doesn't work at all, data are not refreshed.
Thanks

Hello again,
Have you first checked and tried this call directly from WebI rich Client web service tester panel (might be easier to assess).
Parameter values TRUE or 1 should also make it.
index attribute is available when you know prompt value index, and want to match prompts from their indexes (index aware prompt). This has been ported from QaaWS, if you are familiar with QaaWS call runQueryAsAServiceEx
Hope that helps,
David.

Refresh of Data in Xcelsius from Web Intelligence Results

Hello,
I am new to the forum but not to Business Objects/Xcelsius. I attended the SAP Sapphire Event last May and spent time in the Business Objects lab. Two Product Managers demonstrated how I would be able to refresh the data in an Xcelsius dashboard using Live Office by retreiving results from a Webi document without refreshing the Webi query.
For example, my Webi document contains 100,000 result rows. I want to be able to select a dropdown in my dashboard and have Live Office retreive only a subset of the 100,000 rows. This being done without having the Webi query being refreshed from the database. The Webi query would be refreshed nightly.
The Product Managers advised that this functionality would be available in Service Pack 3 or before. As of now I cannot find out how to make this work. Any help or information would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Charles,
WebIntelligence Input Controls are a way to enhance and customize user experience with report filters, they are therefore based on report filters and the feature is more focused on user interface & experience rather than exposition outside web intelligence.
Anyway, AFAIK, report filters are not available from Live Office report parts, you can only filter content with prompts, which requires the document to be refresh from the database, which has a direct impact on performance and scalability for consumers.
However, if you are with WebIntelligence XI 3.1 SP2 you have the alternative to publish from WebI Rich Client, report elements (any table or chart) as web services (called BI Services).
This tool is based on Qaaws technology, and share some of its features (main being that is uses the same Xcelsius Data Manager connection), it exposes a large part of WebI interactions to external consumers (esp. Xcelsius) : report filters, drill, prompts.
Besides this tool provides a set of call input parameters to tune web service consumption for best performance and scalability, enabling to leverage WebI document management features like scehduling, publishing and refresh, so consumers can balance performance with real-time data.
More information is available from WebIntelligence Rich Client user documentation from section sharing webi content with other web applications.
I recommend you install the latest fix pack (SP2.5 and above), as some initial fixes were required to ensure full compatibility with Xcelsius.
Hope that helps,
David.

Facing problem while going to catch return result from web-services.

Hi everybody,
I am new to BPEL. I am facing problem while going to catch the attributes of resultsets returning from web-services(QAS). As far as my knowledge, two types of results it should return - XML entities and another is attributes which is coming as the part of XML entitites. I am able to catch the XML entities, but can't catch the attributes under it. Even, I am not able to see whether web-services returning something within that field.
When, I tried to catch the attribute and store to a temporary varilable using the following code:
*<assign name="AssignQASDoGetAddress1">*
*<copy>*
*<from variable="InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable"*
part="body"
query="/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded"/>
*<to variable="temp"/>*
*</copy>*
*</assign>*
but, I am facing the following selectionFailure errors after running it:
*"{http://schemasxmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/}selectionFailure" has been thrown.*
-<selectionFailure xmlns="http://schemasxmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/">
-<part name="summary">
*<summary>*
empty variable/expression result.
xpath variable/expression expression "bpws:getVariableData('InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable', 'body', '/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded')" is empty at line 269, when attempting reading/copying it.
Please make sure the variable/expression result "bpws:getVariableData('InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable', 'body', '/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded')"is not empty.
*</summary>*
*</part>*
*</selectionFailure>*
Getting this error it seems to me that web-service is returning nothing, but, it returns something as it has been catched using a method called isPostcodeRecoded() Java Code in Oracle ADF. This method has been used as it should return boolean whereas for catching the xml entities using java code we used the method like getPostcode(), getMoniker().
For your information, we are using Jdeveloper as the development tool for building the BPEL process.
Am I doing any syntax error. Please consider it as urgent and provide me asolution.
Thanks in advance.
Chandrachur.

Thanks Dave and Marc, for your suggestions. Actually what I found is QAS web-service is returning nothing as attributes when the attributes are set to the default value. For example, following is the part of the wsdl of the result which QAS webservice returns.
<xs:element name="QASearchResult">
- <xs:complexType>
- <xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="QAPicklist" type="qas:QAPicklistType" minOccurs="0" />

<xs:element name="PartialAddress" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Picklist" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Postcode" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Score" type="xs:nonNegativeInteger" />
</xs:sequence>

<xs:attribute name="UnresolvableRange" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="PhantomPrimaryPoint" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
</xs:complexType>
here the attributes like FullAddress, PostcodeRecodedare , etc. are not being return by the web-service when it is getting the default value false. But, if it gets true then , it is being displayed at the BPEL console.
Do you have any idea how can I catch the attributes and its value even when it gets the default value which is already set. Previously, it was returning(it was not being displayed at the console).
Thanks once again for your valuable suggestions...!!!

SAP EP calling ASP screen - asking multiple logon prompt from internet

Hi,
We have EP page which calls multiple ASP page from the IIS server. When the users are in internet the system prompt for multiple prompt from the IIS server.
1. May i know to make it as a single logon
2. is it possible to do SSO between IIS and EP 7.3
Thanks

Hi,
you can use the SSO22KerbMap ISAPI Filter to accomplish you requirement. Please refer to
Using SAP Logon Tickets for Single Sign on to Microsoft based web applications
and
Single Sign-On of Windows-based Web Service Clients using SAP Logon Tickets
for more details.
Alterantively you can try with SAML (see Single Sign-On with SAML 2.0 - Security and Identity Management - SCN Wiki for more details), but then you should implement SAML Service provider on the IIS/ASP side, since unless I'm mistaken the IIS not provide it by default. Maby this link can be helpful for your: An Open Source ASP.NET SAML2 Service Provider | Passion for Coding

Dynamic Cascading prompt in Webi

Is there a way either at Webi/Universe level to create dynamic cascading prompt in webi based on selection from first filter object.
e.g. two objects, Region and Office.
In webi, Region is the first filter, Office is the second.
After user selects a Region, I want the second Office prompt values to display only the offices for the region that user's selected.
Is there is a way to do? or a work round?
If I just create cascading LOV, it will just display all regions and it's offices together.
Thanks

You try the below
Go to the Office Property.
Edit the List of Values for the Office object.
Check the Automatic Refresh Before Use option.
Click Edit.
Bring Region into the Conditions and set it to: in list Prompt('What Region?')
Click Save and Close
Click Apply and edit the next LOV object.
Save this Universe and let's generate a report.
Now in the report you create the Prompt on Region. Prompt('What Region?')
Have a look in to

Hope this may help you out.

Create PDF From Web Page - Authenticated SharePoint Sites generate "Authorization Failure" error

We have several authenticated sharepoint sites on our intranet, and we are trying to create a PDF of a site (x levels down) using the Acrobat create PDF from web page feature. When you try to create a PDF from a non-sharepoint, authenticated website, a login prompt appears asking for login credentials. However, when you try to use the same feature on an authenticated sharepoint site, you do not get prompted for credentials and instead get an Authorization Failure error. the popup says "Error: Nothing Done". We have successfully PDF'd anonymous sharepoint sites on the WWW. Has anyone successfully PDF'd an authenticated SharePoint site?
Thanks in advance,
-Richard.

I am having the same issue AND none of my pages or files require a UserID or Password. My issue appears to be something with the domain because a and b work just fine and produce a PDF file while item c does not work and produces the error msg.
http://www.dot.wi.gov/projects/neregion/151/index.htm works just fine and produces a PDF file.
http://www.dot.state.wi.us/projects/neregion/151/index.htm works just fine and produces a PDF file.

This code is working fine but taking too much time in fetching prompts.
di = reportEngineWebi.openDocument(webi.getID());
this is DocumentInstance object, its taking time.
Please suggest me if there is any other option available to fetch prompts from SAP BO.
Thanks in advanced

Hi Vijay...
The selection screen should look like...
cb1 -
variant1 -
icb1 -
date1 -
time1
cb2 -
variant2 -
icb2 -
date2 -
time2
where...
cb1 - checkbox which indicates the first report(YRTEST) in the table...
variant1 - textbox for variant which has a help,on clicking should display all the variants of YRTEST report...
icb1 - checkbox which indicates the immediate background processing...
date1 - date on which the job should be scheduled...
time1 - time on which the job should be scheduled...
If icb1 is clicked then date1 & time1 should not be allowed to enter & vice-versa...
cb2 - checkbox which indicates the second report(YRTEST1) in the table...
variant2 - textbox for variant which has a help,on clicking should display all the variants of YRTEST1 report...
icb2 - checkbox which indicates the immediate background processing...
date2 - date on which the job should be scheduled...
time2 - time on which the job should be scheduled...
If icb2 is clicked then date2 & time2 should not be allowed to enter & vice-versa...
Its not like what u said...(Based on user entered data fetch the data of report(variant,date,time) and you can submit the data to background job as incase of single record by looping the data)
Because we have only ReportName,ReportDescription as fields in the table & not variant,date,time...The variant,date,time are all entered in the selection-screen only from which the background job is scheduled...
I hope the requirement is more clearer...

Dynamice Prompt in Webi Report

Hi,
Is it possible to create dynamic prompt in Webi Report at Report Level.
Regards,

Ok if i get your question right: you want to create a date dimension in webi as a variable and use it as a prompt is it ? then NO. ur date dimension from example has to come as a universe object. bcos prompt is always at the query panel level and variables created at he report level are not visdible here.
Thanks,
Karthik

Implementing caascading prompts using web elements

I am implementing caascading prompts using web elements for two dropdowns PL and MPLl. If a value is selected
from PL corresponding values are selected from MPL.
I am using following code in sub report
1) shared stringvar PL;
if instr(PL, field1 + "|") = 0 then PL := PL + field1 + "|";
2) shared stringvar MPL;
if instr(MPL,"||" + field1) = 0 then MPL:= MPL + "||" + field1 + "|";
if instr(MPL, field2 + "|") = 0 then MPL:= MPL + field2 + "|";
3)
shared stringvar PL:= PL[1 to length(PL)-1];
shared stringvar MPL:= MPL[1 to length(MPL)-1]; MPL:= replace(MPL, "|||", "||");
I am using following code in Main report
1) whileprintingrecords;
shared stringvar MultiSelectfont;
shared stringvar PL;
WESelectCascade ("Product_Line", PL, "Product_Line|MPL", {?Product_Line}, "ALL", true, "4.25cm", MultiSelectfont, "", "");
2)whileprintingrecords;
shared stringvar MultiSelectfont;
shared stringvar MPL;
WESelectCascade ("MPL", MPL, "Product_Line|MPL", {?MPL}, "ALL", true, "4.25cm",MultiSelectfont, "", "");
PL has 3 values {ED,Motors, services} ED has 8 values for MPL, Motors has 2 values for corresponding MPL and services has 2 values for corresponding MPL. when ED is selected in PL dropdown it is giving 6 values in MPL drop down instead of 8 values. when Motors is selected in PL dropdown it is giving 2 values in MPL drop down which is correct. when Services is selected in PL dropdown it is giving 4 values in MPL drop down instead of 2 values. 2 values from services and 2 values from ED. i.e. First selection remaining 2 values are added to last selection i.e. services.
Any Ideas appreciated

what are the values of the 2 shared variables?
i.e. if you un-suppress the formulae in the subreport that generate the 2 shared variables, then copy and paste using the Further Markup Possibilities > Markup/Result > code tags (to the right of the Message) so that we can see the entire code.
what could be happening is that there are duplicate values in the 2nd level...each value has to be unique. if they are not unique look into using the Ext (extended) cascading sets where a Display and a Value are used.

Launching external applications from web start

Hi!
I am currently working on a management system and I need to launch other management systems from my Java Web Start application. The other systems are either based on web applications (URLs), telnet - needs to set up a telnet session, or running shell scripts or batch files.
URLs are ok. I am using Desktop.browse in Java 1.6 or I can use BasicService.showDocument in javax.jnlp API.
My application may run on both windows and linux (ie its launched from the browser). It interacts with a java app on a linux server over RMI.
How can I lauch a telnet session from my client app?
Do I have to include apache commons.net and create a telnet module in my app or can i lauch c:\windows\system32\telnet.exe in windows (if my app is lauched on win) and /usr/kerberos/bin/telnet (if my app is lauched in Linux)?
How can I launch an external .exe application in window and how can I launch any shell script or program in Linux?
(same as how do i lauch telnet)
As long as the user is prompted I can see no risk of denying these kind of things so I hope and think that this should be possible!
PS. I have managed to do it by using Runtime.exec() when running as a non JWS application, but I cannot do it when running as JWS:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute)I dont want to sign the application either. The reason for choosing webstart was to not have to renew certificates at our customers.
Please help.
Thanks for taking interest and reading this.. and I hope that someone has some helpful answers for me :)
Edited by: Tomas_Andersen on Feb 5, 2008 6:34 AM

Do you know how to launch Java applications (not applets) from web pages ? Thank you.
you can setoff a java servlet from a webpage.Is that what you are talking about ??? activeateing a server side app ????
