[CLOSED] Consuming WebService from Webfocus
I am trying to consume a webservice from webfocus. While creating synonym for WSDL getting error message "FOC44563: Error in parsing WSDL".

Although i am able to consume the same webservice from SoapUI.

Can anyone help to understand what is the reason for FOC44563
I just want to add that WSDL i am using is having import statements for xsd schema. So does Webfocus support the import?

Regards,
Dharma

Not sure what the error is, but if the web service is publicly available, you can provide it for us and we'll give it a shot.

What release of WebFOCUS are you using?

Hi,

Are you able to get a result when you run the webservice URL in Internet Explorer?.

We are using 7.1.4 version of Webfocus. This webservice is not available in public but can send WSDL and associated xsd files and if anyone of you can create synonym then it will be immense help.

We are able to get result on internet explorer if gives URL of WSDL

I may be mistaken, but last I heard, the ability to consume a web service (and automatically generate a synonym from the WSLD) within WebFOCUS required an additional adapter license. You may want to check with your sales rep before going there.

If you already have the license, and the adapter is configured properly,then the synonym creation from the WSDL if pretty straightforward. It is all documented very well in the Data Administrators guide under "Using the Adapter for Webservices." The document includes extensive descriptions with examples of WSDL files, and descriptions of XSD data types and mappings.

It also includes direction for configuration of the adapter, in case that isn't quite set up correctly.

Having someone else create your metadata isn't going to solve your problem moving forward. If it doesn't work as documented (which has been know to happen occasionally), you probablly need to open a case directly with tech support.

In 7.1.3, we added support for Importing of Schema.
I do remember that we did make a bug fix in 7.6.4 to fix a problem on how
the Import was defined in the WSDL. I might be able to give you a workaround
for your release if I saw the WSDL file.
Please open up a Hottrack case and upload the WSDL file you are having problems with.
We will get you going.

I'm getting this error too. I have 7.6.4. I've created a WebService called RC_Login. Using the wsdl url of:
http:///rcaster/services/LogonService?wsdl

This happens without a problem... But when I go to create a synonym then I get error:

(FOC44563) Error in parsing WSDL :
http:///rcaster/services/LogonService?wsdl

Yes you can replace with a valid URL. If I paste that URL in my browser then I get the WS definition. I even tested from the reporting server using wget that it (the server) can talk and get this same file. No firewalls are in the way.

This is a 7.6.4 install. My initial goal besides getting a synonym setup, is to write a report that shows all the RC jobs running/queued up.

Thanks for your help.

OK even more wierd. Some services created synonyms but not all. But when I "sample data" for getjobsinqueue I get the following error.

(FOC44540) SOAP Request got error. Response Status : 500 ; Reason: Internal Server Error
(FOC44541) Faultcode : soapenv:Server.userException

Michael,

It's too bad your posting was never answered - I get the same error:

 (FOC44540) SOAP Request got error. Response Status  : 500 ; Reason:  Internal
 Server Error
 (FOC44541) Faultcode  : SOAP-ENV:Server
 (FOC44542) Faultstring: Invalid lookup: RDBMS/Schemas/EDA/Procedures/DSCCALL


I'm trying to figure out if the error is with the adapter or the web service.

The people that run the web service have assured us they've restarted the web service. We've restarted the adapter.

I haven't found much on Tech Support regarding these errors. These two documents aren't any help.

Tech Support: (FOC44540) SOAP Request got error. Response Status: 500 mentions something about NLS Spanish setting .

Tech Support: (FOC44540) SOAP Request got error. Response Status : 505 mentions something about spaces in the connection attributes in edasprof.prf.
