XML data from a Web Service sometimes missing fields I need, any ideas on a trap?

I get reports from our ERP via a web service to SSRS. Just got asked to make a tweak in a report and find that the WebService only sends data that is needed for this transaction. My issue is our entire system is based around EACH item we make.
New Trading Partner got Case Price. We put two of our items together in a box for them is all that happened.
Need to identify package column that had "ea" hard coded.
When I get a cs item there are more elements that identify conversion factor UOM etc. They are only sent down for CASE items. How do I trap for a column not being there 99.98555% of the time?
_conv = conversion factor. I only receive it with a 2,4,6 in it whe4n the item is not an each.
=iif(Len(Fields!tcibd003_conv.Value) >0 , Fields!inh4470_qshp.Value / Fields!tcibd003_conv.Value , Fields!inh4470_qshp.Value )
How do I trap for this? I tried Fields!tcibd003_conv.IsMissing but that didn't seem to work as expected.
TIA

Hello,
Sorry, I cannot get your requirment and report design structure currently. Can you post the following information to us ? It is benefite us for further analysis.
1. The fields in your dataset. You can post the dataset with sample data if it is convenient.
2. The Report design structure: Table or Matrix and Group inforamation
3. It seems that you want to filter the report data based on a expression, please post more details about the filter logic and expected result.

Get xml data from a web service into Forms?

Hello folks! I am reading active directory info from a web service into forms via imported java classes. I can read from functions that return strings just fine, but I have to get the output from getGroupUsers which returns an XmlDataDocument. How do I read this in and parse it in Forms?
I will be grateful if y'all could point me to an example.
Thank you,
Gary
P.S. Here is a snippet of how I get the full name by passing an ID:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := ADSoapClient.new;
rv := ADSoapClient.getUserName(jo, 'user_ID');
:block3.fullname := rv;

Hello,
Since you are already dealing with server-side JAVA, I would suggest you create a method that would do the parsing server-side and what your PL/SQL will be dealing with is just the return string.
Here is a method I use to read an XML file (actually, it is an Oracle Reports file converted to XML) and from the string version, I will do search, replace and other things.
So, from getGroupUsers which returns an XmlDataDocument, you can adapt this method to get your data server-side and let the form module read the output data.

IOException, XPathExpressionException{

DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
domFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);

DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(inputStream);

serializer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(stw));

How to retrieve data from a web service

Hi
i am at very beginner level about web services.
I am searching for a simple example of retrieving data from a web services, but cant find.
How can i get xml data from a web service. i dont need to develop the web service it is already ready, i just need how could i fetch data from it.
Can somebody point out or give an example?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
just create a skeleton for the Web Service. In JDeveloper, create a new project and then use the "NEW" context menu option.
Navigate to "Business Tier" --> Web Services and select "Web Service Proxy"
In teh following, provide the WSDL reference to create the Java proxy. This gives you accss to the WS without having to parse the XML yourself

ITunes is telling me it can't sync data from my iPhone or iPad at the moment. Any ideas why, please?

IiTunes is telling me it can't sync data from my iPhone or iPad at the moment. Any ideas why, please?

Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

Converting string data from a web service respons into XML structure of XI

Hi,
We receive a string structure from a web service.
The string structure has an xml type format, that is all the tags and its content are in one line .
The WSDL file of the webservice defines its response structure as a string type.
How do i convert this string into proper XML structure (predefined by me in Integration repository).
OR how do i make XI understand this string as an XML structure for further processing.
Later i have to map this XML message type into IDoc.
Himani

Hi Himani,
Please find the code for ur requirement -
String need to parse -<response_webservice><from_date>20080101</from_date><to_date>20080202</to_date></response_webservice>
Below mentioned code will convert it to -<MT_DATA><FROMDATE>20080202</FROMDATE><TODATE>20080101</TODATE></MT_DATA>
Create a Message type and map it like this using java mapping ( no need to use Graphical mapping).
Use MT_DATA as source and map it to your target structure .

Retrieve data from a web service.

Hi,
I need to retrieve the data from Oracle CRM On Demand therefore I downloaded the web service "CustomObject15" from Oracle CRM On Demand then used the netbeans Tool to generate XML files then call Web Service "CustomObject15" then I created small java code to retrieve the data through a web service but the data did not retrieved.
Only retrieved "CustomObject15Data.CustomObject15Data@1be0799a"
Kindly, Can you help me and provide me small java code to the data through a web service "CustomObject15".
Best Regards.

Trying to pass xml data to a web service

I'm working on an Apex application that is required to pass data to a web service for loading into another (non Oracle) system. The web service expects two stings as input, the first string is simply an ID, the second string is an xml document. I generate an xml 'string' using PL/SQL in an on-submit process prior to invoking the web service. If I pass regular text for the second parameter, the web service returns an error message which is stored in the response collection and displayed on the page as expected. When I pass the the xml data, I get a no data found error and the response collection is empty. I have tried this in our development environment on Apex 3.1.2 (database version 10.2). I also tried this on our Apex 4.0.2 sandbox (with the same Oracle 10.2 database). I have found that once I have nested xml, I get the no data found message, if I pass partial xml data, I get the error response from the web service. Perhaps I am not generating the xml correctly to pass to the web service (this only just occurred to me as I write this)? Or is there an issue passing xml data from Apex to the web service? Any help will be greatly appreciated! here is the code I use to generate the xml string:

The user reviews the data in a sql report region. When the use clicks on the Upload (SUBMIT) button, the xml string is generated first and then the web service is invoked. I have tried passing a simple string as the second parameter ("dummydata") and partial data in the xml string ("<sendingPerson>Test, Christine</sendingPerson>") the web service returns this error in both cases:
Error[Validate Data]: (XML) = Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.. Cannot validate the XML! Data Exchange not accepted!Once I pass the entire xml string above, I get an Oracle-01403: no data found error. I have opened the web service in IE and pasted my xml input string and received a valid, verified result, so I am sure that the generated xml is correct. I have spoken with the web service developer; there are no log entries created by the web service when I submit the full xml string, so I suspect the failure is in the Apex application.
Thanks,
Christine
I should add that once I have nested tags in the xml, I get the Oracle no data found error ("<header xmlns=""> <stdXmlVer>2.0</stdXmlVer> <sendingUnit>10</sendingUnit> </header>"). I f I do not have nested tags in the xml ("<notification>[email protected]</notification> <creationDate>2011-12-20</creationDate>"), I get the web service response (error).

Ok, I think I'm getting closer to thinking this all the way through. When I have used clobs in the past, I've always used the DBMS_CLOB package. I use this to create a temp clob and then make the above calls. I had to go find an example in my own code to remember all of this. So, here is another suggestion... feel free to disregard all the previous code snippets..

end;This code will use the Database to construct your clob and then convert it back to a varchar2 for output to your webservice. This makes more sense to me now and hopefully you can follow what the process is doing.
You don't technically need the two varchar2(36767) variables. I used two for naming convention clarity sake. You could use just one multipurpose variable instead.
If you have any questions, just ask. I'll help if I can.

Loading data from a web service to BW

Hi
I have a web service from a company we work with,
It looks like http://xxxx.info/CustomerMissions.asmx
I want to take the data that the web service returns and upload it into SAP BW.
We are in BW 70105.
I've read about the soamanager transaction and I want to know if that's the way to go.
I've managed to run the transaction and started configuring it, but I couldn't find a good guide.
Any suggestions?

How to update data from a web service

Hi all,
I have a webservice that returns some data as e4x type. I
pull the data i need and put it into an object. I manipulate that
data, then I want to write it back with another webservice. I get
serialization errors when I call the update method. I must be doing
something wrong here. Can anyone help?
Webservice Methods:
<mx:operation name="FetchfrmContact" resultFormat="e4x"
result = "fetchfrmContactResultHandler()">
<mx:request/>
</mx:operation>
<mx:operation name="updatefrmContactCampaigns"
resultFormat="e4x"
result="updatefrmContactCampaignsResultHandler()">
<mx:request/>
</mx:operation>
Below is what .lastResult looks like from the fetch method of
the webservice. I update the different campaign fields by adding or
removing them in an object called contactData.
<FetchfrmContactResponse xmlns:xsd="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:soapenv="

<docID xsi:nil="true"/>
<fetchBy>
"email"
</fetchBy>
<form xsi:nil="true"/>
<locationDocID/>
</FetchfrmContactReturn>
</FetchfrmContactResponse>
The fetch method returns an object of type FrmContactType and
the update method takes an object of type FrmContactType as it's
parameter
package com.psc.components
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.collections.XMLListCollection;
[Bindable]
public class FrmContactType
// field variables
public var contactDocID : String;
public var companyDocID : String;
public var locationDocID : String;
public var campaignsOptedOut : XMLListCollection; //
SFProfileField_70
public var campaignsReceived : XMLListCollection; //
SFProfileField_68
public var campaignsSubscribed : XMLListCollection; //
SFProfileField_69
public var contactEmail : String = "";
public var fetchBy : String;
public var docID : String;
public var form : String;
public var contactFirst : String = "";
public var contactLast : String = "";
public var companyName : String = "";
Here is the result handler of the fetch method
private function fetchfrmContactResultHandler() : void
contactData.contactFirst =
wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult..contactFirst;
contactData.contactLast =
wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult..contactLast;
contactData.companyName =
wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult..companyName;
contactData.contactDocID =
wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult..contactDocID;
if( wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult )
contactData.campaignsReceived = new XMLListCollection(
wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult..campaignsReceived );
contactData.campaignsSubscribed = new XMLListCollection(
wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult..campaignsSubscribed
contactData.campaignsOptedOut = new XMLListCollection(
wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult..campaignsOptedOut );
if( contactData.campaignsSubscribed.length > 0 )
for( var index : int = 0; index <
checkBoxSubscribed.length; index++ )
checkBoxSubscribed[index].selected = true;
if( contactData.campaignsOptedOut.length > 0 )
for( index = 0; index < checkBoxOptedOut.length; index++
checkBoxOptedOut[index].selected = true;
In my code I update the contactData object, then call the
update method passing contactData as it's parameter and it barks at
me. Any ideas why I'd be getting the error message shown below?

Hi,
just create a skeleton for the Web Service. In JDeveloper, create a new project and then use the "NEW" context menu option.
Navigate to "Business Tier" --> Web Services and select "Web Service Proxy"
In teh following, provide the WSDL reference to create the Java proxy. This gives you accss to the WS without having to parse the XML yourself

How to add "Prepare Data" from a web service to the form

Hello,
Can any one please advise on how to add the "Prepare Data" process from the existing web service and have the form to pre-populate the data from this "Prepare Data" process instead of using schema xsd. I heard that this is an alternative or may be a better way to pre-populate data in ES2/ES3 to avoiding creating a data source in Form Designer. I try to find a sample on Adobe site but could not find one, most of them are using schema.
Any guidance or URL to the sample would be helpful.
Thanks,
HD

Showing data from a web service in a DataGrid

My web service returns a complex XML document (ie. not a
"flat" one). I'm able to consume the web service and create an
XMLList and XMLListCollection based on the return value. If I make
parts of the XML simple ("flat") I'm also able to bind values into
a DataGrid row. However, I haven't succeeded in trying to display
XML attribute values in this same DataGrid or values from elements
in other XML branches of the XML.
So, I have an XML structure
<root>
<element1>
<se1>A</se1>
<se2>B</se2>
</element1>
<element2>
<se3 value="1"/>
<se4 id="2">C</se4>
</element2>
</root>
I can easily display (A,B) in a DataGrid, but how about (A,
B, 1, 2, C) in a single row?
I can find a bit similar examples in the internet, but for
some reason I can't make it work. I'm using web services from
ActionScript with a handler, I imported WSDL into the project, I
don't have any MXML WebService components (would they make a
difference?), I haven't specified E4X anywhere (should I ?). I can
display single attribute values in a normal text field.
Could someone please tell me the trick or point some
directions to look at. Thanks.

Reading XML file from java web service

Hi
I am developing web service using Netbeans and the application server is glassfish.
but I am facing a problem
I have folder called "config" which will include the xml files. What I need to do setting path into that folder
but it will read from another location when I am deploying it
How to set our own path ?

        }catch (Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
                return v;

I didn't quite get what the problem is but if the the desired file is in custom directory why don't you just use absolute path to reference it?
Like: "/home/my/OSconfig/MConfig.xml"

How to remove actual XML content from Weather Web Service Client's standard output?

Hi,
I tried web service example examples.webservices.rpc.weatherEJB.Weather with WLS6.1,
it works fine, but on client side, ( either Client or DClient ), I always see
the actual XML content being sent and received from standard output, like
"------------- RECEIVING XML -------------", and I can't find any related System.out.println
statement in client source code, Please explain how to remove it, may there is
a configurable parameter for this? any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Naichen

Hi Naichen,
To suppress showing the actual SOAP request and response going to standard out,
change the following line in the Client.java:
h.put("weblogic.soap.verbose", "true" );
to read:
h.put("weblogic.soap.verbose", "false" );
Regards,
Mike Wooten

Stacked Bar Chart with data from a Web Service

Hi,
I'm working on Dashboard Design (version 14.0.1.287) and I'm trying to create a chart linked to data from a webservice.
With a Year in input, my webservice gives an Amount per Cities and Products
Data retrieved look like this (Sheet1) :
Paris          Tablets          45
Paris          Laptops          12
Paris          Cellulars          89
New-York     Tablets          56
New-York     Laptops          36
New-York     Cellulars          1
Londres          Tablets          150
Londres          Laptops          3
Londres          Cellulars          45
Then I use a Pivot Table (created manually in Excel) looking like this (Sheet2) :
               Tablets     Laptops     Cellulars
Paris          45          12          89
New-York     56          36          1
Londres          150          3          45
The chart is a Stacked Bar Chart plugged on the previous Pivot Table
I create 3 series (one per Product), values (X) are set with Amount
Category labels (Y) are set with Cities
The goal is to have a dynamic chart (series and categories must update if a new city or a new product appears)
So my question is : how can I set up the chart directly with data retrieved from webservice on Sheet1?
Thx a lot !

hi
First thing , bad news if you are using .Net framework 1,
just forget it, Flex 2 doesn't work well with framework 1, but 2nd,
good news, if you want to use webservices, you'll have to make an
array of objects on .Net Side and send it as objects to flex, i saw
an example on the net but i can't seem to remember where, on the
other hand,if you want to simply use, like i do, HTTPSERVICE its a
very nice way to talk with .Net and you can see my example here
http://flex1-for-dummies.blogspot.com
By the way, in your code, you have a request tag , but you
aren't requesting anything, because if you were you would have to
make like this
<mx:request>
<Artist>{yourinputtext.text}</Artist>
</mx:request>
So if you don't have an input text, you don't need a request
tag, only the operation.

XML data from a Web Service sometimes missing fields I need, any ideas on a trap?
