Calling a Webservice

Hi Folks,

(source material, googlemaps : https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/webservices )

I need to execute a function to build a URL based on parameters passed to it, and to use the returned URL within an expression. Please note, I am very new to Qlikview and far outside my comfort zone with this.

My understanding is that the best way to proceed with this is to create a webservice that will take the inputs (postcode, clientId and channel) and return a correctly signed URL. I can manage the code for the web service and the deployment of the web service but don't know how I would integrate that into Qlikview.

I've looked at the word document that outlines the use of static googlemaps ( http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-3136 ) but, as I need to use GoogleMaps for Business with a signed URL, I can't just use the example as provided. So where in the example it says:

='http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center='
&
var_mid_lat
&
','
&
var_mid_long
&
'&zoom=$(var_zoom)'
&
'&maptype='&var_maptype
&
'&size=400x400'
&
'&key='&gmap_key & '.jpg'

I instead need this to do something along the line of:

= MyWebService(var_postcode, var_clientId, var_Channel)

Could someone show me how to acheive this?

Many thanks,

Jes

Hi SK C,

Thanks for the response; unfortunately, as I'm developing this solution on the free download version I can't load in the suggested solution. However, I think I might have found a way forward which I will post up here if it pans out.

Thanks again.

Later,

Jes
