Chon,

I need to prepare the wsdl file to use any webservices operation. Can you please explain how can I prepare the wsdl file (which tool or any resources).

Thanks

I haven’t tried yet, but if you get it working, I would like to know how you did it.

Chon,

Great write up!

Is there anyway to secure the web service? I would like to force the caller to pass in credentials. I haven’t been able to force that.

Thanks,

Derek

One other question,.. I wanted a new log entry added on an update to a Incident or SR etc,..

I added the worklog object to the incident object and added the replaceship,…

When I run the first update, I get a log entry added to the log tab which is great,.. however, if I run it again, it simply deletes the 1st entry and replaces it,.. any idea how to get it to add a second line in the worklog table?

Thanks,

Hi there. At first – Im newbie in MIF, Java, XML. I’ll try to give step by step description of my problem:
1.I’ve created and deployed an Object Structure based Web Service and checked format of XML-message that it expects for “create” operation.
2.Then i’ve wrote simple SOAP-client that sends SOAP-envelope with XML-message for create operation:

ORG
TSITE
123

And server returned:
soapenv:ClientThe endpoint reference (EPR) for the Operation not found is http://10.7.253.2:9080/meaweb/services/GSXML and the WSA Action = org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: The endpoint reference (EPR) for the Operation not found is http://10.7.253.2:9080/meaweb/services/GSXML and the WSA Action =
……

Does it mean that apache doesnt know about web-service that was deployed by maximo? Whats wrong?

Hi yes,.. I went to the webservices library,.. selected the SR object and clicked the 'Generate schema/view xml, it listed all the methods,... create, update, delete, sync,.. then deployed it, The change one which works ok is in this format; 1001 This is an update TESTSITE MAXADMIN So I basically took this and used ticketid instead of wonum,.. and changed the change references to correct SR ones,. Many thanks for your interest in this,

Did you set your web service to have create, update and delete methods?

By: MattS

MattS — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:05:51 +0000

Hi,..yes I have tried adding the TICKETID and TICKETUID,..get the same error,…

I have copied the change one which works and replaced it with the SR bits,.. (change wonum to ticketid etc) and still not working.

I have tried it on another system and have the same issue…

By: Chon

Chon — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:23:01 +0000

I believe it is because the error message is saying that the SR record does not exist and it can’t update. It can’t find the record because some fields are probably missing from the XML that is need to find that record. Try including the TICKETID field in the XML.

Hi Yes,.. I can create/query etc on SR’s and my update is very simple,..one field whilst I’m testing..

Similar XML works fine on updating changes.

I can’t see anything obviously wrong/different,…

Thanks,

So, you created a web service that can successfully create a SR, but not update an SR?

By: Matt

Matt — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:54:13 +0000

I have been using SoapUI and have been creating, updating and doing queries successfully,….

However, if I try and update an SR record I get “BMXAA1496E – SR does not exist. Cannot update or delete.”

I can create SR’s fine, and can update changes? it seems to only be updating SR’s that has an issue,…

Anyone come across this?

Thanks,

I use a free tool called soapUI. It works great!

Interesting article, thanks.
What SOAP tool do you recommend ?
Is there “intClient” for Maximo 7 ?
