XI, Web Services & WSSE - any experience?

Hi guys!
We need to integrate r/3 with web service on other side. Communication between XI and WS need to be secured. It would be probably the best to use WSSE. Has anyone of you already implemented this kind of scenario? What's your esperience? Does it work? Or are there some problems?
Thanx a lot!
Olian

Hi,
you can encrypt and sign WS in XI in standard
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/56/992d4142badb2be10000000a1550b0/content.htm
the question is also how will you send the data to your XI
(will XI be in DMZ and have only decentralized adapter in outer DMZ?)
so try also considering not only XI - WS flow
but also securing R3 - XI as it will be important in this case

How to debugg a Web Service ? Any T-code Available?

Hi all,
I developed a ZRFC enabled function module that creates a Sales Order in CRM for both Normal Materials and Configurable materials.
The RFC works perfect and if I test it in SE37 t-code I am able to generate the Sales order with all the Characteristic values for the VC material.
Now I exposed that RFC as a Web Service by calling the web service creation wizard u2026.. and I am testing the Web Service in SOAMANGER T-code.
Now the Web Service generates the Sales Order but the configuration data is missing..i.e if I go and check the Sales order in SAP GUI..i find that the Characteristic Values are missing for the variant configurable material.
So now I created another Web Service for this RFC function module and still I encounter the same problemu2026..........
If any thing is wrong with the RFC..i know that I can debug it using the ABAP debuggeru2026but everything is perfect at RFC end u2026u2026u2026the problem is with web serviceu2026
How can I debug the web service?....can I call ABAP debugger for monitoring what is happening while I test web service in SOAMANGER t-codeu2026if so how should I do it?
Did anybody encounter this problemu2026please help me. I encountered this for the first time and I am not finding any relevant posts for this behavior of web service which is bit funny and weirdu2026
Please helpu2026.if some one has some thought on this ..as I need to figure it as as soon as possible.
Any help will be highly appreciated..
Thanks in advance

Jessica

Hey Bhanu...Thanks a lot..
I could solve my problem...ur suggestion of seting an external break point helped me ....as from ABAP debugger i could track what was going wrong..
Once again thanks..u deserve full 10 points...

Plugging in template values via web services (or any other available method)?

I am an administrator of a product called Service-Now for my company (and in no way a knowledgeable user of Adobe products). We are using the 'Self-Service' feature to allow our employees to enter their own orders for hardware, software, etc. We offer business cards as an orderable item. The user will fill in our variables (name phone #'s, title, etc.) and order the item. At this time, the order will go to a queue for someone to manually plug the values into the template and kick off the print job. I was wondering if there was any way to send the information that got entered by the user directly to the template from Service-Now and submit the print job. At this time, the templates are on a local workstation but could easily be moved to a 'server' type location if we need to. I wasn's sure how to communicate with the templates. I am able to communicate to other systems in a few different ways, so I'm asking what I would need to do to pull this off.
Thanks for the help,
Jason

If it is a Photoshop template, then it's probably using variables.
This should get you started: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7417a.h tml
As for running Photoshop on a server -- that's not as easy, but you could use JavaScript and image files on the command line to do what you're asking.

Is there any dummy web service for study purpose?

Hi Devs,
One of my friend want to use a java web service, as he is not in my domain I am not able to give him web service developed on my machine. He is doing research on how sharepoint can use Java web service. Any simple java service doing addition calculation will do for him. But the thing is that we both are not able to find a dummy or study purpose web service on net. It will be great help if anyone has any link to such web service.
Looking forward to you help.

Thanks Cindy for your kind help :-) !!!
We also need a dummy java web service which is already existing somewhere on internet, uploaded for study purpose. This web service will be used for test purpose in application. A simple java web service doing addition or calculation will do.
Please help

Can a web service query a database at set intervals?

Can someone verify if this is feasible?
I need to display live data via browsers . I would like to have the query to the database executed server side and have the web service provide the data to the browsers.
Here is what I propose :
I would like to have a web service run on a web server for an intranet.
Have the web service query a database every 20 seconds and update the data into a table or an array variable.
On the browser side I want the browser to refresh every 20 seconds with the updated data from the web service.
Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Chris W.

Hi ChrisTW1,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, I suggest you can try to use the JS to call the web service to set the intervals. For more information about how to use the JS to call the web service to set the intervals, please see:
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/647322/Calling-ASP-NET-Webservice-using-JavaScript-on-Reg
In addition, since
this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. If you have any issues about the set the
intervals for the web service, I suggest you can post this issue directly to the WCF forum:https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=wcf, maybe
you will get more help.
Hope it help you!

Project Server 2010 Web services access with Client Certificate Authentication

We switched our SharePoint/Project Server 2010 farm to use client certificate authentication with Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0, which is working without issue. We have some administrative Project Server Interface (PSI)
web service applications that no longer connect to server with the new authentication configuration. Our custom applications are using the WCF interface to access the public web services.
Please let us know if it is possible to authenticate with AD FS 2.0 and then call
Project Server web services. Any help or coding examples would be greatly appreciated.

what is the error occurred when the custom PSI app connects?
can you upload the ULS logs here for research?
What is the user account format you specified in the code for authentication?
For proper authorization, the “user logon account” in PWA for the user needs to be changed from domain\username to the claims token (e.g.
'I:0#.w|mybusinessdomain\ewmccarty').
It requires you to manually call the UpnLogon method of
“Claims to Windows Token Service”. if (Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is ClaimsIdentity)
{ var identity = (ClaimsIdentity)Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity; }
if (Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is ClaimsIdentity)
var identity = (ClaimsIdentity)Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity;
Than you need to extract UPN-Claim from the identity.
Upload the verbose log if possible.
Did you see this?

How to add a new filter in an existing web service method (BIWS - WEBI document)

Hello Experts, we have 7 web service query's connected to a dashboard. Basically it is one WSDL URL and 7 Get Methods...Web service queries are BIWS (via WEBI document instance). There are filters setup for each of these web service methods.
Recently there was a request to add 2 new fields to the webi document and also the 2 fields need to be included as filters in the 7 methods. I know there is an option to edit the method, but when i edit the method, i cannot find the 2 new fields in list to set as filters.Can anybody help me understand how to add filters to an existiing web service method? I do not want to delete the method and republish the block as web service.
Any help will be great and points rewarded.
Thank you
Ann

Hi Ann,
The reason you are not able to see any of the new columns as a option to select in your web service block is because when you have published that block, they were not present. Add these two new objects in your block and publish it again. You will be prompted for duplication content. Select the highlighted block for duplicate and now you can see the new added objects in the filter option. Update and this will overwrite your published block. Please note, web services do appear to behave weirdly when used with dashboards so I request you to please try it in a separate test report first.
Hope that helps.

Bug in APEX 4.0.2 when parsing web service results?

Receiving ORA-19010: Cannot insert XML fragments error in APEX 4.0.2 when trying to create and run a "Form and Report on Web Service" on any Oracle SES 11.1.2 web service operation
Steps to recreate this error:
SES
- Install Oracle SES 11.1.2
- Create a file source against a directory containing files and then crawl
- Verify via the built-in SES gui that you can search and retrieve results
APEX
- Install APEX 4.0.2
- Create a new database application from scratch
- Create a new web service reference:
shared components ->
web service references ->
create ->
based on wsdl ->
UDDI search: no ->
http://[sesip:port]/search/query/OracleSearch?wsdl ->
create reference
(That creates a web service to Oracle SES with the default name of OracleSearchService)
- Test the new web service:
shared components->
web service references ->
test ->
getAllAttributes (or whatever you want to test) ->
test ->
You will see a valid & correct raw XML request and response
- Create a new web service search form/results using the apex wizard in the following manner:
create page ->
form ->
form and report on web service ->
next ->
web reference type: generated from wsdl ->
next ->
web service reference: OracleSearchService. Operation: getAllAttributes (....BUT YOU CAN PICK ANY OPERATION - THEY ALL WILL FAIL. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14507_01/apirefs.1112/e14433/oracle/search/query/webservice/client/OracleSearchService.html for documentation for all the SES web service operations).
next ->
next ->
result tree to report on: Attributes (or whatever appropriate for the operation you chose) ->
next ->
select all columns to display ->
finish
- Now run the page, entering nothing or "en" for locale (or whatever is appropriate for the operation you chose) and then Submit
- No matter what operation is chosen, no matter what parameters are entered, always receive "ORA-19010: Cannot insert XML fragments" error!
PS - We can (and have) created and used APEX 3.1.2.00.02 against SES 10.1.8.3.0's web services without issue.

Damir,
I've tried to replicate this on apex.oracle.com, and could not. I sent a JPG file to my Yahoo account using the name 'Report (2011.05.01).jpg', and didn't encounter any issues. The name of the file received on Yahoo was still 'Report (2011.05.01).jpg'.
I reviewed the code in APEX_MAIL. There isn't anything in there that would modify the filename as you suggest.
Is there a chance it's being changed in your SMTP server / relay?

Error while creation of web service model in web dynpro

Hi,
I am getting following error "no services available or local server not accessible" while creation of web service model.
I have already created my web service nad deployed it. It was deployed successfully.
In the web service model creation wizard I am not able to see neither my web service nor any other standard service.
Regards,
Anubha Pandey

Are you using the deprecated Web Services model or the new adaptive web services model?
Take a look in this document: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b2bc0932-0d01-0010-6d8e-cff1b2f22bc7

Problem with accessing a web service from outside world

Hello SAP experts
I have a custom BAPI for which I have created a webservice.
If I login as an admin to the BOX where I have installed this SAP server and open an internet explorer window and give the URL, I can access the web service without any problem. This is just a simple BAPI that searches for some data from a table based.
However, when I give the same URL from a different PC, it can open the web service and in the fields if I give the data and click on send button, it fails with an error '500 Internal Server Error '.
I looked for the details of this error on internet and it says that this is some general error and solutions that it suggested doesn't help my scenario.
Has anyone seen this problem before? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Tks
Ram

i have tried the stack trace in the catch but as i said on the statement where i made the object for the service the program just exits. it didn't return any exception or any output.
thanx for refering me any answer.......

[weblogic.webservice.server.ConfigException: Could not add parameter to operatio
n. You must specify either its Java or XML type.]
My environment:
- JBuilder X
- Weblogic Platform 8.1
- Windows XP SP2
Here are my steps of implementing web services:
1. Write the Java code for the back-end components that make up the Web Service. Here's the method that handle the operation
public String testName(InputParam test) {
String inputName = test.getName();
System.out.println("Input name:"+inputName);
return "Hello "+inputName;
Here's InputParam:
public class InputParam {
private String name;
public InputParam() {
public String getName() {
return name;
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
2. Since I use JBuilder X I configure everything including handlers chain through web services designers
3. Build project
If nothing goes wrong, I will get generated client jars and a war file with web-services.xml inside.
I have no problem when I implement RPC-style web services.
I got the above error when I implement Document-oriented web services, but
I have no problem when I use String as a parameter instead of InputParam class.
I tried to change some attributes that might be relevant but got no luck.
I've tried using clientgen command line as well but the result was the same.
Below are the guidelines for creating document-oriented web services from the BEA's document that I think I already followed
- The methods that implement each operation of the Web Service can have only one parameter. This single parameter can be of any supported data type. (The Weblogic web services toolkit support simple JavaBean, doesn't it?)
- The methods that implement each operation cannot use out and in-out parameters. (I'm not sure about this one since I got Holder classes after using clientgen. However, there's no <param> tag in web-services.xml.)
I found the old solution from support.bea.com (ID = S-25689), but I don't think my situation is the same. I got the error while building web services...not deploying a web service.
Any answers to this question will be very much appreciated.

Consuming Web Service In Visual Studio

Hi there:
I'm using the sneak preview of SAP NetWeaver 2004s ABAP Server and am able to consume in Visual Studio 2005 (C#) all the 'delivered' Web Services without any problems. However, when I create a Web Service through SE37 or SE80 (Wizard WS_WZD_START) using a BAPI or Remote enabled RFC (ie RFC_READ_TABLE) I am getting a error when I try to call it in Visual Studio. In Visual Studio, I am able to add the reference (http://localhost:8000/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZRFC_READ_TABLE?WSDL) no problem. When I call it though, I get {"Unable to connect to the remote server"}, with inner exception {"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"}.
I am providing the credentials (username and password) in the code which are the same as when I go to retrieve the reference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Russ

Hi Russ,
I had similar problems. You should download the WSDL file to the local file system. Then you can add the downloaded WSDL file as a Web reference rather than using a URL.
Please note the following issue:
You have to provide the full qualified path including the file name in the text box for the URL and then press Go.
For example:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERID\My Documents\downloads\SAP\WebServices
Z_BAPI_CUSTOMER_FIND_VI.wsdl

If you just provide the path and try to select the WSDL file this probably does not work. At least it was not working for me.
Best regards,
Andre

401 Error on Consuming SharePoint Versions Web Service by java client running on Unix Machine

In my organiszation I have sharepoint site of our project. I have a java client to consume Versions Web Service offered by SharePoint. The response received from web service without any issue when triggered from a client running on windows machine on
intranet.
When same java client ran from UNIX server on same intranet, it gives 401 error. Is there some different approach required for authentication while connecting from unix machine?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Are you passing credential in code? If not then try to add using networkcredential.
If you are passing then make sure that current user is having access on SP site and your javaserver is setup for NTLM security. Here is few links for same issue which could help you troubleshoot the issue
