XML Web Service Question

Hello, I have been asked to research a way to export data from the SAP BW into a remote application. I know nothing about SAP and I have a few questions. We would like to take data from SAP BW and put it in an XML file. Then we would like to automatically invoke a remote web service which will parse the data into the other applications database.
My first questions is can SAP BW export some of its selected data into an XML file? If so how is this done (what tools, components, applications, etc. are necessary) and what is the level of complexity?
My second question is can a remote web service be invoked automatically form the SAP BW and can the previously mentioned XML file be sent out to the web service for parsing and loading? If so how is this done (what tools, components, applications, etc. are necessary)and what is the level of complexity?
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Brett Lewinski

This can be done in BW.
Try the links given below, also there is a How to document available from SAP on this.

Support for XML / Web Service Data Source?

Do you know if and when Crystal Reports for Eclipse will support using the XML / Web Service data source? It appears that only JDBC and Java Result Sets are currently supported. I am using:com.businessobjects.integration.eclipse.library_1.0.0.v671 com.businessobjects.sdks.jrc.11.8.0_11.8.1.v671 Thank you! 

Ok, I copied the JARs (such as CRDBXMLServer.jar) from the JRC SDK (from Eclipse all-in-one) onto the Tomcat classpath and got rid of my previous problem. I now get the stack trace below. I also can not find crdb_*.dll files (such as crdb_xml.dll) anywhere on my system other than the service pack 2 rollback directories. My guess is I should be downloading and installing something else -- is this true? 10 Jan 2007 13:22:36 [http-8080-Processor23] DEBUG com.crystaldecisions.reports.reportdefinition.datainterface - Failed to open connection (Connection:<databaseType=XML><serverName=http://dopey/devicedirectory/2006-06-25/DeviceDirectory?WSDL DeviceDirectory DeviceDirectoryPort getDevices><state=closed><databaseDriverName=crdb_xml.dll>). com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine.am: Error loading database connector.

How to Output Nodes from XML web service to a FLV?

Hi
I've used AS3 to query a web service and obtain the resulting XML. I need to parse the result down to just a few nodes for a given location. I can tackle that separately. I am wondering how I output the parsed XML to a flash video file (.flx)? The video has place holders for the XML node values. What do I need to do to place the XML results in the video?
Thanks,
Sid

Andrei1 wrote:
What is a content of XML nodes? I am not sure what you mean by "inserting nodes". Do you mean that you want to display some information over the video?
And yes, encoders do take XMLs to inject metadata into video. But this is metadata only.
OSML = Open Source Media Framework:
http://www.opensourcemediaframework.com/
By inserting nodes, I mean that the XML web service returns data for each city, which needs to be parsed to just high temp, low temp and current condition. Those 3 values needed to be dispalyed over, or woven into, the video at each city location. My thought was that AS3 could somehow recognize the 3 placeholders for each city and insert the high temp, low temp and condition icon into each placeholder. However, when I import the FLV file into Flash, there are no elements into which I can infuse this data.

Designing and Running CR against XML Web Service

I created a simple XML web service with one method that returns a dataset. This runs on my Windows 2003 Server.The service(.asmx) is called "Applicants". My computer name is aricciardi-2k3s. It runs on port 89 .When I browse to <a href="http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx">http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx</a>, I am prompted to invoke the webservice and I can run it and everything is great. Further, if I browse to <a href="http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx?wsdl">http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx?wsdl</a> I get the wsdl info. Now I want to design and run a Crystal Report 11 SR 2 against my web service. I choose New Report, for Data I choose XML, then "Use Web Data Source" hit next, then choose "HTTP WSDL URL" I enter <a href="http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx?wsdl">http://aricciardi-2k3s:89/Applicants.asmx?wsdl</a>, hit Next, I leave HTTP username and HTTP password blank. Then I see the Services, Ports and Methods screen. Services: Applicants, Ports: ApplicantsSoap, Methods: GetApplicantsWhen I click Finish, I get Logon Failed, Details, Schema file is invalid. error:Element <a href="mailto:Schema@htttp://www.w3.or/2001XMLSchemal">Schema@htttp://www.w3.or/2001XMLSchemal</a> not foundHow can I get this to work?

You will make me a hero, and I'll will be in debt to you.Thanks.Anthony Ricciardi The web method for my web service is below <WebMethod()> _Public Function GetApplicants() As DataSet Dim DS As New DataSet TryDim dt As New DataTable("Applicants") dt.Columns.Add("AppID")dt.Columns.Add("Name") Dim dr As DataRow dr = dt.NewRow()dr.Item("AppID") = 1000 dr.Item("Name") = "First Applicant"dt.Rows.Add(dr)dr = Nothingdr = dt.NewRow()dr.Item("AppID") = 2000 dr.Item("Name") = "Second Applicant"dt.Rows.Add(dr)dr = Nothing DS.Tables.Add(dt)Return DS Catch ex As ExceptionDim x As String = ex.Message End TryEnd Function

I got some feed back from support that this driver doesn't work with .NET datasets. I would suggest that in your webservice method that you just return an arrary of regular objects that contain the data you need. That should work with this driver I believe. I would try it out but I just messed up my Crystal Reports and I need to re-install it.Here's the URL to a white paper that talks about connecting to this driver. http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/cr_xi_native_xml_driver.pdf Rob Horne <a href="/blog/10">Rob's blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a>

Designer beginner's question: How to populate form with XML web service output?

sorry, here is yet another Adobe Designer beginners question: My form uses a webservice data connection which returns an xml-string like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <CurrentWeather> <Location>Sion, Switzerland (LSGS) 46-13N 007-20E 481M</Location> <Time>Apr 26, 2007 - 09:50 AM EDT / 2007.04.26 1350 UTC</Time> <Wind> from the WSW (240 degrees) at 15 MPH (13 KT):0</Wind> <Visibility> greater than 7 mile(s):0</Visibility> <SkyConditions> partly cloudy</SkyConditions> <Temperature> 80 F (27 C)</Temperature> <DewPoint> 46 F (8 C) </DewPoint> <RelativeHumidity> 30%</RelativeHumidity> <Pressure> 29.88 in. Hg (1012 hPa)</Pressure> <Status>Success</Status> </CurrentWeather> What is the simplest and recommended way to extract the element fields to my form? Thank you very much an kind regards, Hans Grund

The question is still unanswered!
Let me give some details and break up the problem
in more specific questions:
- In Designer 8.1 I click new data binding --> wsdl -->
http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx?wsdl
A message box comes up and says "cannot load wsdl file"
==> 1. Question:
Why maybe refuses Designer to load the http-wsdl,
although this option is explicitly allowed?
- When I save the wsdl to a file, Designer loads it
without any problems. The web service uses two input parameters
(CountryName and CityName) and returns an xml-string GetWeatherResult)
like the one in my first posting. I drag these fields from the binding view to my form, and it runs ok!
- THE PROBLEM IS, THAT I NEET TO EXTRACT THE ELEMENT FIELDS
FROM THE RESULT XML-STRING!
==> 2. Question:
How to extract xml element fields from wsdl output into a form?
- I tried with eclipse and XmlSpy to build a modified wsdl file
with structured output definition, so that the specific element fields
show up in the data binding view and are usable to my form,
and the modified wsdl maps consistently to the web service result string.
So far without success: In the PDF -preview or Reader-
when the wsdl-binding is executed and the web service output
should show up in the result fields, just nothing happens.
==> 3. Question:
Can this strategy to provide a "modified wsdl" possibly succeed,
and how?
==> 4. Question:
Is is possible -and how?- to check whether an xml string
is valid as web service output against the wsdl-definition?
==> 5. Question:
How to debug a web service connection with Designer?
- Finally I tried to find a way to load the result xml-string
into a local var in the script editor and parse it, much like:
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.load(DataSet.MyForm.GetWeatherResult.rawValue);
==> 6. Question:
Is it possible -and how?- to use a framework like dotnet?
How to utilize SAX or DOM in Designer?
Many thanks and appreciations for your help!!

XML/Web Service Load into Delta queue

Hello,
What is the mechanism to push an XML file into the BW delta queue for use by an XML/SOAP or Web service based datasource? There is no XI in the picture so the XI based how/to papers are not germane to this question. The HOWTO paper on XML load has a script for loading an XML file but it errors out on creation of the Activex object, plus it needs XML parser etc. Is there an SAP approved way of routinely loading XML files into the delta queue versus some test script?

This can be done in BW.
Try the links given below, also there is a How to document available from SAP on this.

Siebel outbound web service question

I'm writing a customized 'SendMailing' outbound web service. I have tested my web service with stand alone client, and now I want to integrate it with siebel. My step is:
1 configure the SendMailingService in Administration -> web services -> outbound web services, in Service Ports panel I set the Address of the 'SendMailing' to my Web service endpoint, such as http://myhost/Siebel/SendMailing?WSDL
2 configure the Email Marketing Server (in 'Administration -> marketing ->servers), set 'SendMailing' (outbound web service port) to 'Email sending daemon(ESD)', and other parameters such as from address.
3 create an email treatment which use the configured email marketing server as the delivery profile.
4 create a campaign with the created treatment and assign a list to the campaign.
5 load the campaign
6 launch the campaign.
after the 6th step is done, nothing happens - no error message, no logs found, the campaign status still remains 'in planning'.
some other clues:
1 when I do the 'test email' for the email treatment, the following error log is found:
ObjMgrLog Error 1 000009ec4bf10fc5:0 2010-05-25 08:16:35 (httptransport.cpp (1631)) SBL-EAI-04117: HTTP Request error during 'Submitting Data SendHTTP request': 'Status code - 500'

-> Unable to find xml element for parameter: options
I guess siebel does try to invoke the outbound web service for the 'test email', but it seems do nothing for regular campaign launch.
Did I miss anything? please help! thanks in advance!

I have known the reason of the error logs: the soap message sent by siebel lacks 2 parameters. The 2 parameters should be contained in the soap message with a value of null or empty if they are really empty, but the siebel removes these 2 parameters from the soap message. So the soap stack of my client refused the soap request. I think this should be a siebel bug.
Now my question becomes why I can't launch a campaign? I followed the steps of 'create offer' -> create campaign -> associate the offer with campaign -> assign a list->allocate a list->load campaign -> launch campaign. but the campaign just keeps 'In planning'.
Did I miss anything? Or where can I find some clues? such as logs...

Have you think abut using ActionScript in your Flex application? Or, you can write javascript to be proxy between your flash app and backend PHP web service?
Also, it seems that you will allow every customer's flash player to have a copy of secret code. I think it is dangerous design because an flv file can be easity decompiled. Therefore, you secret code can be found if it is not input by your end user and it is populated on your serverside script.

PL/SQL web service: question about stub

hello,
I'm currently learning how to work with PL/SQL Web Services.
I have a question about stubs. The point is, I can deploy a web service to the OC4J server and it works. It also works when I create a stub following the WSDL I made with creating the PL/SQL web service. If I go to the endpoint in my webbrowser, the functionality is the same, with or without using a stub.
My question is: what is the function of the stub?

A stub is leveraged by a client application to communicate with a corresponding server side object (in this case, the web service implementation). If you think back to CORBA or RMI applications they follow a similar pattern.
In the case of a web service you would use the stub to write a client application that could invoke the methods of the remote service and return the responses as java data types. The methods the stub class offers are the same as the methods of the web service interface. It's a common way for providing RPC like functionality.

Connect to SharePoint web service using the XML / Web Service connector

Hi experts,
I am currently trying to display my SharePoint list in Crystal Report. Therefore my plan is to use a SharePoint web service to get the data and paste them to the Crystal Report.
Is it possible to use the "XML and Web services" connector of the Crystal Reports database expert?
When I enter the web service URL, for instance:
https://[url]/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?wsdl
and click next... I have to enter the web service credentials.
On the next page I have to enter Service, Port and Method.
Do I have to enter the service URL again here?
What If, there is no port? Can I leave that field empty?
I know the methods, but where can I add the mandatory parameters?
Thanks for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Hi Ananth,
thank you, but this document does not help at all.
We are using Crystal Reports 2008 SP2.
We want to use the Web Service Connector.
What I need is more informationen about the Web service connect. For example - the connection in Microsoft InfoPath is much easier - there I don't have to enter a port and can choose the methods from a list.
Is it possible to use the Crystal web service connector for MS SharePoint Webservices?
Or must I use the Crystal SDK to carry out a connection?
Best regards,
Sebastian

XML Web Service ( ? )

Hello there to everyone reading my post !
I am trying to design an Application that exchanges XML Documents (or messages, I don't know how to call them properly).
My application, recieves an XML, reads it, and replies with another XML.
I am totally new to developing this type of "messaging" systems, that I have come to know recently are called "Web Services".
What are your suggestions on Doing this? I need my interface be made in JSF...
Is there a Tutorial or a How-to for this Topic?
Please Help Me out...
Thanks in advance

Hello There !
Yes, I like this Tutorial a lot, It shows me that it is possible to Obtain a Response From a Server as a Web Service. Thank you very much.
But excuse my ignorance, How Do I apply it to XML messaging? I am just too confused about where does this web service obtains its response? Does it read it from an XML file?
Please let me know where can I read more about this subject,
I was wondering If there was something more simple. From scratch.
Anyways, thank you very much, all help is truly appreciated.
