Efficy Overflow Q&A - Recent questions tagged soap

Last version of Efficy.Net.dll

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 13:51:39 +0000

Hello,

I am migrating a customer from Efficy 2012 to Efficy 12.0.
For this customer, we made a .NET Application to run some synchro between Efficy and another software.

This application doesn't work anymore with Efficy 12.0, we are encountering an error when creating Efficy session.

After some research, it appears that the component Efficy.Net.dll is pretty old and I can't find a recent one.

SOAP API Security

Wed, 22 Feb 2023 10:53:13 +0000

Good morning everyone,

I'm testing the configuration of the SOAP API and I'm a bit confused on how the security works.

Following the "Easy SOAP integration" project guide I created two queries : one to retrieve a contact's Key with a email parameter and another to retrieve the list of active opportunities of a specific department (no parameter, the department is set). Both query have the following security settings : Administrators group : full control.

I've setup the SOAP Group removing any Privileges and any Table Rights, only checking Query:Execute.
I've setup the SOAP User removing any User Privileges and any User Privileges in Designer ; setting the User Role as SOAP Group; removing the user from Everyone and adding it to the SOAP Group.

Testing the API calls with Postman I get the following results :
* the contact query returns the key value
* the opportunities query return no results unless I add the SOAP User to the right department group

Where does the different behaviour come from ?
Subsequently, how can I restrict the SOAP user from executing any request, allowing only the few specifically designed for the API purpose ?

Thank you for your help,

Alexandre

how open a soap session by using api token rather than efficy:logon xml tag ?

Thu, 24 Nov 2022 08:13:25 +0000

Hello I want to use the advantages of the API token authentification into à soap request rather than using the old body xml tag for a migration from 11.0 to 12.0 version.

So I generated a token into my designer, then I added into the header the
X-Efficy-ApiKey, X-Efficy-Customer and X-Efficy-Logoff = true like I already done for node connexion for instance.

The customer profile is unique into my url so didn't declare it.

Bug I'm not able to create the connexion to execute a soap query resquest.

So I have to continue to put all information
Any idea ?
What I missed ?

have you any postman exemple with a body using datacontainer operation="query" + connexion via token ?

Thank's

How to manage SOAP requests WSSE (open spec) authentication in JS ?

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 14:16:14 +0000

Hello,

Some context: I have a customer who want me to query the KBO OpenData API.
They use SOAP along with the WSSE open standard, for the authentication.

Do we have a library / tool / projutil to handle the generation of a WSSE header (given a password and username) ?

I swear I have looked around, but alas didn't find such tool

Thank you

How to set customer parameter in SOAP request?

Mon, 28 Sep 2020 07:31:08 +0000

Hi,

our database was cloned and since then, we need to pass the customer parameter.
When i try to connect via SOAP, i get 'The host is allowed in more than one customer profile, the "customer" argument must be specified'.
If i try to pass the customer attribute in the efficy:logon node, where username, database and password is passed, i still get the same error.

Where do i have to set this parameter?

Soap error when using SSO

Tue, 24 Sep 2019 08:17:14 +0000

Hello,

We recently upgraded an on premise client from efficy 10SP2 to 11.2.
They were using sso to connect but as of the upgrade this doesn't work anymore. See error message below :

The sidebar should be correctly configured. The option 'use current windows user' is checked but still we get the error. It worked fine in the previous version.

Does anyone have an idea where the problem could be? We are using the same server.
Let me know if more information is needed.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Ken

How can we get the real bytes of an attachment from the FILES.STREAM with .NET soap

Mon, 12 Aug 2019 11:57:31 +0000

with

EfficySession s = new EfficySession(...)
var dt = s.ExecuteSQLQuery("select * from ArdisICT.FILES WHERE K_TABLE=31000 AND K_1=:param1", 1, true, p2);
foreach (DataRow r in dt.Rows)
{
   string fname = r["PATH"].ToString();
   string streamv = r["STREAM"].ToString();
   byte[] bytes = s.ConvertFromBase64Attachment(streamv);
}

In bytes I get the zlib compressed data, but how can I get the right decompressed data?

Or can I use soap method similar to Efficy.getFileStream ?

Node not allowed in TConsultRequestHandler

Tue, 28 May 2019 04:53:13 +0000

Hello Efficy Team,

According to (my understanding of) the documentation, we can retrieve the data of a categoy in SOAP, with the node "category".

However, I get an error when I am trying to use it :

What did I missed ?

Obviously, I am not in >11.2, I cannot use RPC JSON request ... :(

Authentication error using openURL

Fri, 25 Jan 2019 14:44:24 +0000

Hello,

I am having a problem with soap requests being sent to a webservice designed to synchronise efficy changes with another system ( Navision ).
The client has upgraded the version of Navision and this is now located on a different server. Efficy version is 2014.

These webservices worked with the old version, but now there seems to be a problem.

The soap requests are triggered in the workflow ( you will find the code below ). After some digging, i found that the request was sending back an HTTP 401 status.
It seems that the authentication is now different than it was before.

The client thinks the new version of Navision does'nt support basic authentication anymore, and that NTLM is now required.

The soap-request itself is correct, i managed to get a result using SoapUI ( see screenshot ), but this seems to use the NTLM protocol.
I used the authentication utility in soapUI for this. ( adding the headers manually doesn't work ).

Could this mean we cannot use openURL to connect anymore? Does it only use basic authentication?

Any suggestions are welcome.

var oldURL = "http://hostname/DynamicsNAV90/WS/Dialog/Page/Integratie_Contact_Card";
var URL = "http://hostname/Dialog/WS/Dialog%20LIVE/Page/Integratie_Contact_Card";   
    var RequestHeader = TStringList.Create;

[SOLVED] Raising a SOAP request to Efficy CRM using curl gives "Unexpected error: Incorrect SOAP Request"

Tue, 19 Jun 2018 09:48:04 +0000

I am testing the SOAP requests with curl, on Linux.

This is the SOAP request I used: A file "request.xml", with the following contents:

  <soapenv:Envelope  xmlns:efficy="http://www.efficy.com" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope">
  <soapenv:Header/>
  <soapenv:Body>
  <efficy:logon database="mydbname" user="mydbusername" password="mydbpassword"/>
  <efficy:logoff/>
  </soapenv:Body>
  </soapenv:Envelope>

I then used the following curl command to raise the POST request:

  curl --header "Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8" --data request.xml https://eua.efficytest.com/efficy.dll/SOAP?SS_ID=1

Executing the above command gave the response as an HTML, saying

Object Moved - This document may be found here:
https://eua.efficytest.com/crm/SOAP?SS_ID=1

Changed the command to use that URL instead, as:

  curl --header "Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8" --data request.xml https://eua.efficytest.com/crm/SOAP?SS_ID=1

But that gave an error page as the response, saying:

[Error - 2018/06/19 11:06:16] Unexpected error: Incorrect SOAP Request

Where could I be going wrong?
What SoapAction should we use?

[SOLUTION]:

Thanks a lot for the answers.

Inspecting and comparing the request sent with the PHP code I mentioned in one of the comments here, and checking the request header for the curl request, found that the issue was with the way I passed the file name - we had to add an @ symbol to filenames, when passing to curl.

<?php

$location_url = 'https://eua.efficytest.com/efficy.dll/SOAP';

$client = new \SoapClient(null, array(
    'location' => $location_url,
    'uri' => "http://www.efficy.com",
    'trace' => 1
));

try{
  $return = $client->__soapCall("logon", array(
    'database' => 'mydbname',
    'user' => 'mydbusername',
    'password' => 'mydbpassword'
  ));
  //Get response from here
  echo "<pre>";
  print_r($client);
} catch (SoapFault $exception) {
  var_dump(get_class($exception));
  var_dump($exception);
}
?>

So this would be the correct command:

curl -i  --header "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8"   --data @request.xml   https://eua.efficytest.com/crm/SOAP?SS_ID=1

(Command options: '-i' shows the response headers).

And this would be the correct request file (request.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
  xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
  xmlns:ns1="http://www.efficy.com"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
  SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
>
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <ns1:logon>
      <param0 xsi:type="xsd:string">mydbname</param0>
      <param1 xsi:type="xsd:string">mydbusername</param1>
      <param2 xsi:type="xsd:string">mydbpassword</param2>
    </ns1:logon>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Using these two, I was able to get the Efficy Session ID in the response header. Here is an example output from the same:

[anto@anto curl-soap]$ curl -i  --header "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8"   --data @request.xml   https://eua.efficytest.com/crm/SOAP?SS_ID=1

            List<Company> Companies = GetAllCompanies();
            Companies = Companies.Where(a => a.TypeRelation == CompRelationType.Participee || Convert.ToInt32(a.TypeRelation) == 9).Select(a => a).ToList();

            TContextHandle EditContext;

            foreach (var Iterator in Companies)
            {
                EditContext = Proxy.OpenEditContext("PROJ", 0);

                Hashtable Fields = new Hashtable();
                Fields.Add("NAME", "Reporting");

                Proxy.UpdateFields(EditContext, Fields);

                TContextHandle EditDocuProd = Proxy.OpenEditContextRelation("PROJ", EditContext.Key, "COMP", Iterator.EfficyKey, -1);
                Proxy.CloseContext(EditDocuProd);

Besides that I would like to know how I can retrieve the file format (jpg/png/etc.). Is this information being saved in the database or do we need to retrieve this from the header in the binary data?

How do I get the CurrentUserID when creating a case from Outlook ?

Tue, 27 Sep 2016 10:09:13 +0000

Hi everyone!

At EasyCash they have created a new custom field "Department" which is mandatory.
Then when they tried to save email from Outlook it did not work because that field was not filled in.
I modified the workflow to set the current user's role as the "department".
My problem is that the department which is set is always the same, for every users.

After investigation, I found out that when i call the CurrentUser() method, Efficy returns the value zero (0), but only when the email comes from Outlook. So i can not get the right K_ROLE.

So my question is: "How do I get the ID of the user which create that case from Outlook?"

Thanks,

Prince

SetImpersonate : SOAP Error when using SetUsers()

Wed, 01 Jun 2016 12:50:19 +0000

Hello,

In our project, we have a WebApi who inserts data into Efficy DB using SOAP (EFFICY.EfficyCRM.NET.dll).

This WebAPI creates the Efficy's connection using an ADMIN login/password.

We want to impersonate a user in order to get the power of Efficy Securities/Right defined in Conficy.

We expect that if we call "DataBase.SetUsers" After impersonation, every records created
in the ACTI_USER table will be created according rights, groups, linked to this impersonated user in Conficy.

But, right now, we receive this error :

"ExceptionMessage": "SOAP Error: DSActiEdit1ActiUser: Cannot
modify a read-only dataset",

The ADMIN user has full access.

The code used in C# :

public void LierActionAvecAgent(double idAction, long idAgent)
        {
            _foremLogger.Trace($"Begin ActionEfficyRepository.LinkAgentToAction(idAgent={idAgent}, idAction={idAction}");
            var dbSession = _efficySessionPool.Get();

            try
            {
                dbSession.SetImpersonate("MNTMNQ");
                var context = dbSession.OpenEditContext(EfficyEntityHandles.Acti.GetDisplayName(),idAction);

                if (context == null)
                {
                    throw new Exception($"Erreur d'ouverture de context Efficy pour l'entité ACTIONS avec la clef {idAction}");
                }

                dbSession.SetUsers(context,new double[] { idAgent} , false );

                dbSession.CloseContext(context);
            }
            finally
            {
                if (dbSession != null)
                {
                    _efficySessionPool.Put(dbSession);
                }
            }
        }

The Exception is thrown by the call to method SetUsers().

How to delete Attachments/FILE via SOAP

Mon, 25 Jan 2016 17:26:10 +0000

Hi there,

I'm trying to delete a file (attachment) via SOAP.

When executing the following SOAP request:

<efficy:api>
    <data id="0" operation="delete" entity="FILE" keys="123"/>
</efficy:api>

I get the following "answer":

<SOAP-ENV:Fault>
    <faultcode>Exception</faultcode>
    <faultstring>Invalid Entity for Delete</faultstring>
    <faultid/>
</SOAP-ENV:Fault>

I also tried entity="2", same effect. When logging in as the user i use to perform the SOAP request, i am able to delete the attachment without a problem. So, how can I delete a FILE entry?

Thanks in advance,
Stefan

How do I read the content of the Field STREAM in FILES via SOAP?

Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:01:12 +0000

Hi all,

we need to return pictures stored in FILES using Efficy SOAP.
A plain SOAP Call using CURL does not any content.

Does anybody have some sample code?

The documentation in "Efficy - Microsoft .NET SOAP Proxy" is at least not clear for us.

Thank you

Tim

API information

Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:40:44 +0000

Some questions:
1. Do we have an API (for Efficy 2014) for third party software?
2. Is there documentation?

We need this, because one of my clients wants to talk to Efficy through an API.

Please respond soon.

Efficy SOAP vs. ServerScripts

Thu, 17 Sep 2015 09:17:10 +0000

Hi guys!

We need to integrate efficy data and processes into a website.
Including sending emails etc.

I wondered if it is possible to call a server script via SOAP just like <%RunScript()%>.
Otherwise I need to update some hidden fields field and let workflow do the job...

Thank you

Tim

P.S. overflow.efficy.com does a great job! Well done!

XML Soap message: error inserting email

Fri, 31 Jul 2015 06:50:58 +0000

Dear,

I'm having troubles inserting an email using the XML Soap messages.
This is my message:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:efficy="http://www.efficy.com" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <efficy:logon database="databasealias" user="username" password="password"/>
    <efficy:edit entity="Mail" key="0" commit="true" closecontext="true">
        <update tableview="0">
            <SUBJECT>This is a test mail</SUBJECT>     <!--Subject of the email, cann't be changed afterwards by the user-->
            <TITLE>CLIENT NAME: This is a test mail</TITLE>         <!--This can be a copy of the subject or a customized version, the user can modify this field in Efficy-->
        </update>
        <insertattachment id="1" type="1" path="This is a test mail.msg"/>
        <updateattachment id="2" key="0" encodingkind="MIME64">
            {MIME BASE64}
        </updateattachment>
        <insertdetail id="3" detail="Case" detailkey="37" maincomp="false"/>
    </efficy:edit>
    <efficy:logoff/>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

And this is the error I get:

      <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
     <faultcode>Exception</faultcode>
     <faultstring>Error during CommitChanges on "Mail": Could not convert variant of type          (Null) into type (Double)
     </faultstring>
     <faultid/>
     </SOAP-ENV:Fault>

Any ideas? Is my syntax correct?

SOAP request to launch existing query in Efficy

Is it possible to launch a existing ( non-system ) query through SOAP ?
If yes, how ?

Impersonating a user

Fri, 03 Jul 2015 13:24:42 +0000

Dear,

Is it possible in Efficy using the or .NET SOAP API or XML webservice messages to impersonate a user?

My client wants to create and update information in Efficy using one of both interface possibilities but he also wants that the applied changes are not all logged in sys_changed under the same user, used for executing the soap calls.
He prefers it is logged as an other user, also known in Efficy.

A possible workaround could be by working with workflow and/or database triggers but it looks cleaner to use impersonate.

Any suggestions?

Get DTSEARCH result from SQL

Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:53:58 +0000

One of our client want to do something like that but without using the SOAP request.

<efficy:search entity="{Entity}" method="DTSEARCH" value="{String}">
 <datacontainer id="{Int}"/>
</efficy:search>

Do you know an other way by using native SQL search to get it or it's only generated by the DLL ?
