I am not able to refresh the report with simple parameters. Error message is "The Remote Server returned error : (400) Bad Request.
If I mention Request type "POST" then I get this error "The Remote Server returned error: (405) Method not Allowed.
Below is my code snippet. Please help me.
Hi,
I have a 12 page webi report with CLOB objects and the text in report get cut when exported to PDF. For example, if the text flows from one page to second page it get cut. This was not an issue in the earlier version 6.5. SAP confirmed this as a bug.
Using restful webservices i was able to export it into PDF (no text getting cut) with out the pages option (all data showing up in one page). But the issue when printed, only one page of data get printed not all 12 pages. If i export using pages option in Restful (/reportid/pages) the result will be with text getting cut.
Wondering any way i can export to one page and take printout or may be convert the one page to many pages of PDF without text get cut.
Any ideas or suggestion for a work around is appreciated.
Thanks,
Arun
Version BI4.1 SP4 Patch 4
Clustered Windows Environment
One WACS Service (default settings)
Using C# HTTPWebRequest and HTTPWebResponse for all the steps
Workflow
1. POST Login (using Enterprise)
2. PUT Refresh document no parameters (using docid)
3. GET Refreshed document - This Step Fails (Operation timed out)
4. POST Logoff - This step fails (Operation timed out)
The workflow fails about 90% of the tries. We also noticed that some of the steps take a long time to process. For example refreshing the document in Launchpad takes about 13 seconds, but using REST calls it varies from 30 to 120 seconds
When we do the same steps using a REST Client (in browser) we are able to process all the steps without failures. We did notice the same processing time as mentioned above.
Report in BI Launchpad works without any issues.
Please advise.
Hi,
I have a custom sql that is used in a report. Can i run the same custom sql against a universe and get the results? I was searching the WS document and found this -
I've developed a Java program to schedule and re-schedule reports. Some of these use Business Objects to email files to recipients. There doesn't seem to be the ability to name the attached file, which tends to get named the same as the Instance with a random numeric string concatenated to the name. The XSD schema in note 1899352 seems to confirm this, or am I missing something?
Is it possible to name the attached file with a chosen name (mimicking the "Use Specific File Name" box in regular BOXI scheduling) or does is these currently not possible?
I want the file name to be of the form - reportnameYYYY-MM-dd-HH-mm.ss.pdf
I've developed a Java program which schedules and re-schedules reports and many of these are sent as attachments. I don't seem to have any control over the name of the attachment which defaults to the instance name with a concatenated numeric string appended.
Are there tags to name the attachment? Sap note 1899352 giving the XSD schema doesn't seem to show them.
I'd like to name my attachments with the date and time appended in the form
Report Name YYYY-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss
The xml template file I'm using is attached
Hi,
When I try to retrieve a list of infostore objects using the Rest API (http://localhost:6405/biprws/infostore) everything works fine.
But when I try to retrieve a list of universes (http://localhost:6405/biprws/sl/v1/universes) using the same code I get the following error:
ERROR: 401 - Unauthorized - WSR 00002 - Incorrect session found in HTTP header X-SAP-LogonToken (too many values) error

xhrObj.setRequestHeader("X-SAP-LogonToken",sessionToken);

I'm having a hard time getting a PDF to export properly. I can get the report to export, but the report header and footer are missing.
In a nutshell, here's what I'm doing:
* GET request to http://server:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/document/1234/parameters/?lovInfo=false to get the list of parameters my report needs
* PUT request to http://server:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/document/1234/parameters, with the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><parameters> <parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0"> <id>0</id> <technicalName>Please Enter Date</technicalName> <name>Please Enter Date</name> <answer constrained="true" type="Text"> <info cardinality="Single" keepLastValues="true"> <lov hierarchical="false" refreshable="true"> <id>UNIVERSELOV_DS0.DO2e</id> </lov> <previous> <value id="0">02/28/2016</value> </previous> </info> <values> <value id="0">02/28/2016</value> </values> </answer> </parameter> <parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0"> <id>1</id> <technicalName>Please Enter Agency Identifier:</technicalName> <name>Please Enter Agency Identifier:</name> <answer constrained="false" type="Text"> <info cardinality="Single" keepLastValues="true"> <lov hierarchical="false" refreshable="true"> <id>UNIVERSELOV_DS0.DO21</id> </lov> <previous> <value>100049</value> </previous> </info> <values> <value>100052</value> </values> </answer> </parameter></parameters>
* GET request to http://server:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/document/1234, with Accept header set to "application/pdf"
While I do get my PDF, I'm only getting the main body, not the page header/footer.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
After purging a document, i opened it modified by adding couple of columns, refreshed and saved it.
Now i run the purge again, it displays the old purged document instead of new modified one. So for state (Original, Unused and Modified) i defined the URL like this -
PUT = ../raylight/v1/documents/docid/dataproviders?purge = true&state=Modified
and for saving the document back to CMS, my URL is /raylight/v1/documents/docid?state=Modified.
This doesn't gives the desired result. I have gone through the document, but it do not mention an example with a URL.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Arun

Hi,
Trying out the REST sdk (with 4.1) and have hit a problem from the start. I guess i'm missing some config somewhere but here's the issue...
I create an enterprise user in the CMC in the everyone group...
Using POSTMAN in Chrome I hit the logon service with...
http://server:6405/biprws/logon/long
POST
Accept application/json
Content-Type application/json
{
"userName": "testREST",
"password": "testREST",
"auth": "SecEnterprise"
}
if works and returns "logonToken"...
I then try as an Active Diretcory user (the one I used to create the test enterprise account who is a member of administrators..me.) CMC logon is fine using AD and the standard /BI logon is configured for SSO and also logs in fine.
so I go with...
{
"userName": "JBRAKER"
"password": "myADpassword"
"auth": "SecWinAD"
}
It returns error "FWM 00006" with Active Diretcory Authentication failed to log you on.
I've tried using @domain and changing server url to FQDN but no joy.
Any ideas what i'm missing? As mentioned the server is setup for AD SSO but i see nothing to configure for the REST services apart from the URL in the CMC.
Thanks!
Jeremy
How to move document to another folder using Restful API?
Is it possible to establish a connection without passing the userid/password to rest API calls assuming that AD SSO configured on BOE server?
Below is the sample code which we used to connect in the XI 3.1 NET SDK
Hello,
Is it possible to call a webi report chart (not the whole report) from a external application. I know we can call a webi report from other applications but our requirement is to call only specific report parts like line graph or charts from a webi report. Is this possible using Java SDk or RESTful SDK? If so can you please let me know how to achieve this? Thanks!
