Hello,

I'm having an issue running reports and listing the applications from WebFocus using WebFocus Web Services.

I am able to login to the Reporting Server ok and list the servers and get config info using the following code.

Get Config Info:

WebFocusWs.WebFocus wfs = new WebFocusWs.WebFocus();
WebFocusWs.LogOnInfo logon = new WebFocusWs.LogOnInfo();
WebFocusWs.WSDLInfoStruct retWSDL = new WebFocusWs.WSDLInfoStruct();


logon = wfs.WebFocusLogOn("[valid username]", "[valid password]", "", "");
retWSDL = wfs.WebFocusWSDLInfo(logon);

string s = String.Empty;

s = retWSDL.WSDLInfo.IBIUDDI_webApplocation + " - " + retWSDL.WSDLInfo.IBIC_server + " - " + retWSDL.WSDLInfo.IBIUDDI_cgiLocation;

Response.Write(s.ToString());

---------------------------

List Servers:

WebFocusWs.WebFocus wfs = new WebFocusWs.WebFocus();
WebFocusWs.LogOnInfo logon = new WebFocusWs.LogOnInfo();
WebFocusWs.ServerInfo serverInfo = new WebFocusWs.ServerInfo();
string s = String.Empty;

logon = wfs.WebFocusLogOn("[valid username]", "[valid password]", "", "");

serverInfo = wfs.WebFocusListServers(logon);

for (int i = 0; i < serverInfo.servers.Length; i++)
{
s += "Handle = " + serverInfo.servers[i].handle + "
" + "Class = " + serverInfo.servers[i].@class + "
" + "Default = " + serverInfo.servers[i].@default + "
" + "Protocol = " + serverInfo.servers[i].protocol + "
" + "Description = " + serverInfo.servers[i].description + "

";
}

Response.Write(s);

---------------------------

When I try to list the applications I get an error:

WebFocusWs.WebFocus wfs = new WebFocusWs.WebFocus();
WebFocusWs.LogOnInfo logon = new WebFocusWs.LogOnInfo();
WebFocusWs.WebFocusReturn ret = new WebFocusWs.WebFocusReturn();
try
{
logon = wfs.WebFocusLogOn("[valid username]", "[valid password]", "", "");
ret = wfs.WebFocusListApps(logon, "EDASERVE");

for (int i = 0; i < ret.values[0].Length; i++)
{
Response.Write("App Name : " + ret.values[0][i].ToString() + " - " + ret.values[1][i].ToString() + " - " + ret.values[2][i].ToString() + "
");
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Response.Write(ex.ToString());
}

The error:

Error message : A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not
properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed
because connected host has failed to respond


Has anyone else encountered this?

I would be grateful for any advice on how to fix this.

Thanks

Micheal

Hi Micheal,

Has this issue been resolved?

If not, can you please check a few things: is the connected server started? Is there any limit on number of attempts to re-connect? Is there a time-out limit, e.g. 30 seconds or 60 seconds?

Since this one is more of a configuration issue, rather than developer question, I would strongly suggest you to contact Information Builders' Customer Support Services and open a case for assistance. You may either call at 1-800-736-6130, or access online InfoResponse. Here is a list of information to be ready when you call: http://techsupport.ibi.com/before_you_call.jsp.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Kerry
