SharePoint SoapServerException calling GetListItems web service - web-services

I have the following statement in my code:
System.Xml.XmlNode items = lstWebs.GetListItems(
"Tasks", string.Empty, listQuery, listViewFields,
string.Empty, listQueryOptions, WorkspaceId);
When executing this, the following exception occurs:
Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.
Exception Source is:
System.Web.Services
Stack Trace:

I have confirmed the site URL and it is fine.
Could you please help on why the exception is occurring? Do I need to reset IIS?
please find the detail.
SoapException.InnerException is Null.
However the soapExcetion.Detail.InnerText is showing: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)

Is the name tasks also the actual listname in the url? i.e. http://siteurl/lists/tasks? is the list in a subsite and are you using the service under the site-collection?
IF the list is in a subsite the use http://sitecollectionurl/subsite/_vti_bin/lists.asmx as the Service url, otherwise the lists.asmx will try to find the tasks list in the rootweb instead of the subsite.

The signature for GetListItems is
GetListItems(ListID, "", queryNode, viewFieldsNode, Nothing, queryOptionsNode, Nothing)
Try simplifying queryNode, viewFieldsNode and queryOptionsNode to the minimal.
In VB.NET
Dim caml = New XmlDocument
Dim queryNode = caml.CreateElement("Query")
Dim viewFieldsNode = caml.CreateElement("ViewFields")
Dim queryOptionsNode = caml.CreateElement("QueryOptions")
queryOptionsNode.InnerXml = "<ViewAttributes Scope=""Recursive"" /><IncludeMandatoryColumns>FALSE</IncludeMandatoryColumns>"
In C#
var caml = new XmlDocument();
var queryNode = caml.CreateElement("Query");
var viewFieldsNode = caml.CreateElement("ViewFields");
var queryOptionsNode = caml.CreateElement("QueryOptions");
queryOptionsNode.InnerXml = "<ViewAttributes Scope=\"Recursive\" /><IncludeMandatoryColumns>FALSE</IncludeMandatoryColumns>";
If it works, then the web service setup is correct.
When I had the mentioned problem, it was my invalid XML that caused it. There is a missing 'type' attribute on the 'Value' element of the 'Where' element in queryNode. I found it here from Microsoft.
Type | Required Text. Specifies the data type for the value contained by this element.
It works after adding the Type attribute. Check if any missing requirements for the xml in one of the nodes mentioned above?

Have you tried running with elevated permissions, it looks like the running user does not hav sufficient privileges to query the data...
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges

Sitecore Commerce Business Tools doesn't load

I'm facing a problem with loading the Sitecore Commerce Business Tools on my local machine. I don't get any error in my browser which you can check on the following screenshoot, but the page is not initialized:
Seems like the operations GetNavigationView() and GetLanguageView() are stuck on getting data, but I couldn't figure out what could be the problem.
As preparation steps, I did the Sitecore Commerce Bootstrap, and Environment Initialization via Postman and everything went ok.
In the CommerceAuthoring_Sc9\wwwroot\config.json I set up the certificate thumbprint and here is what I have in the AppSettings:
"AppSettings": {
...
"SitecoreIdentityServerUrl": "https://localhost:5050",
"AllowedOrigins": [
"https://localhost:4200",
"https://sxa.storefront.com"],
"AntiForgeryEnabled": false,
"UseHttpsInKestrel": true,
"SslPort": 5000,
"SslPfxPath": "wwwroot/localhost.pfx",
"SslPfxPassword": "sitecore"
}
Also in the CommerceAuthoring_Sc9\wwwroot\bootstrap\Global.json I added all the environments I use.
Here you can check some of the errors I noticed in the CommerceAuthoring logs:

Also, the storefront item 'CommerceEngineDefaultStorefront' exist in the database that is specified in the PlugIn.Content.PolicySet-1.0.0.json file.

facebookclient.post() or .posttaskasync() with .net sdk returns invalid parameter when trying to post a link

I've had this working in a previous version of my application and I tried using the old code, but I think the new sdk has something different going on. I'm simply trying to post a link (that includes an image) to my wall and receiving an "Invalid Parameter" response.
Here is the relevant code (I've also tried PostTaskAsync()...same result):
var client = new FacebookClient(accessToken);
var postParams = new
{
name = "the name",
caption = "the caption",
description = "the description",
link = "http://www.example.com/",
picture = "http://www.example.com/uploadedimages/myimage.jpg"
};
client.Post("me/feed", postParams);
I've tried substituting the object with a Dictionary with the same result. I've tried substituting object with dynamic parameters = new ExpandoObject(); with the same result.
If I post the object with just { message = "this is a test message" } it posts fine so I know that I have permissions to post on my wall. Something just isn't jiving when I try to post the link with the image. I also tried urlencoding the link and the image url and received a different error indicating that the "link/picture URL is not properly formatted".
I stripped out all of the parameters thinking one of them was no longer supported, but still no dice.
Here is the exact exception being thrown:
Facebook.FacebookApiException: (FacebookApiException - #100) Invalid
parameter at Facebook.FacebookClient.ProcessResponse(HttpHelper
httpHelper, String responseString, Type resultType, Boolean
containsEtag, IList`1 batchEtags) at
Facebook.FacebookClient.Api(HttpMethod httpMethod, String path, Object
parameters, Type resultType) at Facebook.FacebookClient.Post(String
path, Object parameters)
I got this sorted out. It turns out the link and the image url have to be in the same domain as the app you're using to post.
EDIT: just to clarify. The domain has to be included in your app's config section (on Facebook) in the "App domains" section at the top.

Unable to access WMI on remote machine using vb.net

I've had a scout around and can't seem to find the answer anywhere, so need to ask.
I'm trying to query the WMI on a remote machine, but I need to do so as the admin account and I'm having problems doing so.
The code I am using is:
Public Sub OperatingSystem(ByVal computeritem As String)
'set Username and Password which system will access the network with.
Dim options As ConnectionOptions
options = New ConnectionOptions()
options.Authority = "ntdlmdomain:" & ipaddress
options.Username = "Username"
options.Password = "Password"
scope = New ManagementScope("\\" & ipaddress & "\root\cimv2", options)
scope.Connect()
Dim query As ObjectQuery
query = New ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem")
Dim searcher As ManagementObjectSearcher
searcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query)
the query continues to go and pull all kinds of information through to a spradsheet.. well it would if it worked!
The line of code that is falling over is:
scope = New ManagementScope("\\" & ipaddress & "\root\cimv2", options)
scope.Connect()
It's giving me an error message that just says 'Invalid parameter'. When I go to view detail, there's nothing in inner exception and the only thing that I can see of any value is ErrorCode:ManagementStatus.InvalidParameter
I apologize if this is something really simple.. I am still fairly new to this but if someone could give me some guidance that would really be appreciated.
Many Thanks.
It looks like the reference to ipaddress is not initialized. Since computeritem is passed as a parameter to the sub, your code might work better with:
scope = New ManagementScope("\\" & computeritem & "\root\cimv2", options)

ArrayOfAnyType issues when calling the method:GetRangeA1 excel web services in the silverlight 4.0

I create a simple silverlight 4.0 application used to read the excel file data in the share point 2010 server. I try to use the "Excel Web Services" but I get an error here when calling the GetRangeA1 method:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ServiceModel.Dispatcher.NetDispatcherFaultException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message: There was an error while trying to deserialize parameter http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/excel/server/webservices:GetRangeA1Response. The InnerException message was 'Error in line 1 position 361. Element 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/excel/server/webservices:anyType' contains data from a type that maps to the name 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/excel/server/webservices:ArrayOfAnyType'. The deserializer has no knowledge of any type that maps to this name. Consider using a DataContractResolver or add the type corresponding to 'ArrayOfAnyType' to the list of known types - for example, by using the KnownTypeAttribute attribute or by adding it to the list of known types passed to DataContractSerializer.'. Please see InnerException for more details.
the source code is like:

string targetWorkbookPath = "http://phc/Shared%20Documents/sample.xlsx";
try
{
// Call open workbook, and point to the trusted location of the workbook to open.
string sessionId = xlservice.OpenWorkbook(targetWorkbookPath, "en-US", "en-US", out outStatus);
Console.WriteLine("sessionID : {0}", sessionId);
//1. works fines.
object res = xlservice.GetCellA1(sessionId, "CER by Feature", "B1", true, out outStatus);
//2. exception
xlservice.GetRangeA1(sessionId, "CER by Feature", "H19:H21", true, out outStatus);
// Close workbook. This also closes session.
xlservice.CloseWorkbook(sessionId);
}
catch (SoapException e)
{
Console.WriteLine("SOAP Exception Message: {0}", e.Message);
}
}
}
}
I am totally new to the silverlight and sharepoint developping, I search around but didn't get any luck, just found another post here, any one could help me?
This appears to be an oustanding issue, but two workarounds I found so far:
1) Requiring a change in App.config.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010programming/thread/ab2a08d5-2e91-4dc1-bd80-6fc29b5f14eb
2) Indicating to rebuild service reference with svcutil instead of using Add Service Reference:

Classic Asp Web Service Problem

I'm trying to create a code to allow an existing classic asp program to use an asp.net web service. Updating from the classic asp is not an option, as I'm working in a big company and things are the way they are.
I've been browsing through a chunk of tutorials supposedly helping in this, but I haven't managed to get them to work yet. As a beginner I might've made some real obvious mistakes but I just don't know what.
First, the web service is located on an external server. The method "Greeting" needs a String parameter by which it determines which String is sent back. Inputting "g" to it procudes this xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<string xmlns="http://server1/Logger_WebService/">Greetings and welcome!</string>
I assume the xpath for getting the contents is either "string/*" or "*"?
Next, my web service itself looks like this:
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function Greeting(ByVal stringel As String) As String
If stringel.ToLower = "g" Then
Return "Greetings and welcome!"
Else
Return "Bye then!"
End If
End Function
The web service works fine from a regular asp.net solution.
Now here's the problem, the classic asp code looks like this (4 different ways I've tried to get this to work, SOAP toolkit is installed on the web service server, all examples taken and modified from tutorials):
'******* USING GET METHOD
Dim wsurl="http://server1/Logger_WebService/service.asmx/Greeting?g"
Dim xmlhttp
Set xmlhttp=Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.open "GET",wsurl,false
xmlhttp.send
Dim rValue
'rValue=xmlhttp.responseXML.selectSingleNode("string") 'use XPATH as input argument
' or you can get response XML
rValue=xmlhttp.responseXML
Set xmlhttp=nothing
'------------------------------------------------------
'******* USING POST METHOD
Dim wsurl="http://server1/Logger_WebService/service.asmx/Greeting"
Dim xmlhttp
Set xmlhttp=Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.open "POST",wsurl,false
xmlhttp.send "stringeli=g"
Dim rValue
rValue=xmlhttp.responseXML.selectSingleNode("string")
' or you can get response XML
' rValue=xmlhttp.responseXML
Set xmlhttp=nothing
'------------------------------------------------------
Response.Write consumeWebService()
Function consumeWebService()
Dim webServiceUrl, httpReq, node, myXmlDoc
webServiceUrl = "http://server1/Logger_WebService/service.asmx/Greeting?stringel=g"
Set httpReq = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
httpReq.Open "GET", webServiceUrl, False
httpReq.Send
Set myXmlDoc =Server.CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument")
myXmlDoc.load(httpReq.responseBody)
Set httpReq = Nothing
Set node = myXmlDoc.documentElement.selectSingleNode("string/*")
consumeWebService = " " & node.text
End Function
'------------------------------------------------------
Response.Write(Helou())
Public Function Helou()
SET objSoapClient = Server.CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient")
objSoapClient.ClientProperty("ServerHTTPRequest") = True
' needs to be updated with the url of your Web Service WSDL and is
' followed by the Web Service name
Call objSoapClient.mssoapinit("http://server1/Logger_WebService/service.asmx?WSDL", "Service")
' use the SOAP object to call the Web Method Required
Helou = objSoapClient.Greeting("g")
End Function
I seriously have no idea why nothing works, I've tried them every which way with loads of different settings etc. One possible issue is that the web service is located on a server which in ASP.Net required me to input this "[ServiceVariableName].Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials". I do this from within company network, and there are some security and authorization issues.
I only need to be able to send information anyhow, not receive, as the actual method I will be using is going to insert information into a database. But for now, just getting the Hello World thingie to work seems to provide enough challenge. :)
Thx for all the help. I'll try to check back on holiday hours to check and reply to the comments, I've undoubtedly left out needed information.
Please, talk as you would to an idiot, I'm new to this so chances are I can understand better that way. :)
You might consider writing a bit of .NET wrapper code to consume the web service. Then expose the .NET code as a COM object that the ASP can call directly. As you've seen, there is no tooling to help you in classic ASP, so consider using as much .NET as possible, for the tooling. Then, use COM to interoperate between the two.
A colleague finally got it working after putting a whole day into it. It was decided that it's easier by far to send information than it is to receive it. Since the eventual purpose of the web service is to write data to the DB and not get any message back, we attempted the thing by simply writing a file in the web service.
The following changes were needed:
First, in order to get it to work through the company networks, anonymous access had to be enabled in IIS.
The web service needed the following change in the web.config:
<webServices>
<protocols>
<add name="HttpGet"/>
</protocols>
</webServices>
And the web service code-behind was changed like so:
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function Greeting(ByVal stringel As String) As String
Dim kirj As StreamWriter
'kirj = File.CreateText("\\server1\MyDir\Logger_WebService\test.txt")
'if run locally, the line above would need to be used, otherwise the one below
kirj = File.CreateText("C:\Inetpub\serverroot\MyDir\Logger_WebService\test.txt")
kirj.WriteLine(stringel)
kirj.Close()
kirj.Dispose()
Return stringel
End Function
As we got the above to work, it was a simple matter of applying the same to the big web method that would parse and check the info and insert it into the database.
The classic asp code itself that needs to be added to the old page, which was the biggest problem, turned out to be relatively simple in the end.
function works()
message = "http://server1/mydir/logger_webservice/service.asmx/Greeting?" & _
"stringel=" & "it works"
Set objRequest = Server.createobject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
With objRequest
.open "GET", message, False
.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml"
.send
End With
works = objRequest.responseText
end function
works()
Took about a week's worth of work to get this solved. :/ The hardest part was simply not ever knowing what was wrong at any one time.
You might be missing the SOAPAction header. Here's a working example:
[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
public class GreetingService : WebService
{
[WebMethod]
public string Greet(string name)
{
return string.Format("Hello {0}", name);
}
}
And the calling VBS script:
Dim SoapRequest
Set SoapRequest = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
Dim myXML
Set myXML = CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument")
myXML.Async=False
SoapRequest.Open "POST", "http://localhost:4625/GreetingService.asmx", False
SoapRequest.setRequestHeader "Content-Type","text/xml;charset=utf-8"
SoapRequest.setRequestHeader "SOAPAction", """http://tempuri.org/Greet"""
Dim DataToSend
DataToSend= _
"<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"" xmlns:tem=""http://tempuri.org/"">" & _
"<soapenv:Header/>" & _
"<soapenv:Body>" & _
"<tem:Greet>" & _
"<tem:name>John</tem:name>" & _
"</tem:Greet>" & _
"</soapenv:Body>" & _
"</soapenv:Envelope>"
SoapRequest.Send DataToSend
If myXML.load(SoapRequest.responseXML) Then
Dim Node
Set Node = myXML.documentElement.selectSingleNode("//GreetResult")
msgbox Node.Text
Set Node = Nothing
End If
Set SoapRequest = Nothing
Set myXML = Nothing
Might want to double-check the version of the MSXML components. Are you using Windows Authentication? I've noticed some odd XML parsing problems with IIS 7, Classic ASP, and MSXML.
It would also help to get a useful error. Check the ** myXML.parseError.errorCode** and if its not 0 write out the error.
Reference Code:
If (myXML.parseError.errorCode <> 0) then
Response.Write "XML error: " & myXML.parseError.reason
Else
'no error, do whatever here
End If
'You get the idea...
