SOAP CLIENT

[#1]

Hi,

I have been trying to connect Qlikview with webservices.

http://www.soapclient.com/soaptest.html (SOAP CLIENT)

WSDL Location

http://www.boyzoid.com/comp/randomQuote.cfc?wsdl

Try any Web Services URL and it will invoke with the parameters set.

In the above mentioned WSDL Location there are no parameters.

Cant we have a generic client like this in qlikview. Why is there a need to customise the dll file ?

If you check Xcelsius has similar functionality as in the url mentioned (SOAP CLIENT).

Just sharing my views and searching for a generic solution.

Note the comment in the article that includes an additional example.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the response, I saw the link you have provided. But this would be useful if parameter values have been set for an HTTP Request. And if we know what are the parameters.

On one of my local the web servers I was unable to identify what are the parameters to be passed, and so creating the link for an xml response is not possible.

If you check the link provied abobe in my post if you enter the WebServices Link on the next page it will ask for the parameters. Why cant this be implemented as a custom data provider so its not specific to one web service and then there would be need to write a code or edit the code everytime we connect to a new web service.

I would like to know if anyone has the template for a custom data provider - web service so I can attempt to make a generic connector.

The Custom Data Source template and doc is available in the V9 Qlikview SDK. The SDK is available from the Qlikview Server installation when you select "Custom" install.

Hi,

I have not yet found a solution to this.

Was hoping that QliKView will launch a custom data provider but nothing so far.

If you find any solution then please let me know.

Hey, I'm not really sure for what you really look, but I wrote a simple SOAP-Server with whom you can access qlikview values;) You'll find more information under www.beeye.org - if you wana test it, I can deliver you an installer;) for localhost;)

I am trying to modify the EventLogElaborate app to make a SOAP request.  The part I'm hung up on is making the connection and getting the results.  I have the reference setup, but I'm not sure where to go from there.

Any suggestions? 

Thanks
