Hi,

I have trouble in setting up a web service as data source in Crystal reports xi.

- After providing HTTP WSDL URL , It asks to specify a web service, port and method.

Can someone help me with the information that I should provide for the above 3 items.

Thanks,

DW

    Hi,

    I have a similar problem. I'm trying to connect to a WCF service from Crystal Reports. I created the WCF service with Visual Studio 2008 and ran it, and when I try to connect from crystal reports using the wsdl of the service, in this case http://localhost:2896/Service1.svc?wsdl, and the service Service1 appears, but no ports or methods appear. I'm guessing I'm missing something in the service. I'll appreciate any help I can get.

    Thanks

      hello,

      try this:

      WS type:

      document/literal:

      xsd: (xmlns="xsdo")

      
<xsd:complexType name="someTableRowType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="someStringColumnInTable" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
<xsd:element name="someNumberColumnInTable" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:complexType name="someTableType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="singleRow" type="tns:someTableRowType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbound"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:element name="someTableResponse" type="tns:someTableType" />

      wsdl:

      
...
<wsdl:message name="someTableResponseMessage">
<wsdl:part name="someTableResponsePart" element="xsdo:someTableResponse"/>
</wsdl:message>
...

      hope this helps.
