BO edge 3.1 howto Report Engine SDK sample

Hello,
I'm trying to install any report engine SDK sample on a BO Edge 3.1 installation.
The webserver is WACS (Web Application Container Server).
I don't know how to set up a web application that uses the SDK, and I cannot find any useful documentation.
Has anyone done this?

Hello,
Crystal and Xcelsius are client tools so you don't need to install them on the server.
It might be useful to install them on it when you are troubleshooting issues which might be related to network (firewall, load balancer,...) but otherwise you can keep them on the clients machine.
The client machines connect to the server by specifying the server details (CMS name and valid user account) when you try to export the reports to the repository.
Regards,
Philippe

  • Report Engine SDK sample code questions

    Hello,
    I've been able to view a boxi report in an iframe via the Enterprise SDK by modifying the sample code in the HowToViewWebiReports_VB example.
    I'm not totally happy with the way that's working, so I'm looking at using the Report Engine SDK, although I understand it's performance and scalability isn't quite as good as the Enterprise SDK.
    I'm a VB.NET guy, not a C# guy, and I'm not clear on how the wssdk_net2.0_portal_sample_12.0_en example is supposed to work.
    I don't have one and my CMS server is running Tomcat, not IIS so there's not going to be an ASP.NET web service running there.
    In the dsws.config for the wssdk_net2.0_portal_sample_12.0_en example I put the name of the CMS server, but it's looking for a web service at http://cmsservername:8080/dswsbobje/services/Session, but I get a 404 when i try to hit that. 
    I'm not familiar with Tomcat, but in searching around on the server, I see a dswsbobje directory under the webapps in my Tomcat installation, but I don't see a services or a Session folder underneath that.  In the dswsbobje folder I see the following folders:
    BOAR-INF
    META-INF
    WEB-INF
    xsd
    Is there something else that needs to be installed on the Tomcat server to get the web service running?
    -Eric

    It looks like I have something there.  When I launch launch http://servername:8080/dswsbobje,  I see:
    Apache-AXIS
    Hello! Welcome to Apache-Axis.
    What do you want to do today?
    Validate the local installation's configuration
    see below if this does not work.
    To enable the disabled features, uncomment the appropriate declarations in WEB-INF/web.xml in the webapplication and restart it.
    Validating Axis
    If the "happyaxis" validation page displays an exception instead of a status page, the likely cause is that you have multiple XML parsers in your classpath. Clean up your classpath by eliminating extraneous parsers.
    I clicked on the "Validate" link and I see:
    Axis Happiness Page

    QaaWS Configuration
    QaaWS Servlet is not valid.

    Perhaps this environment needs some additional configuration?

  • Report Engine SDK Performance

    What are the recommended settings for businessobjects xI (version 11.5)
    Are there any tips to improve performance and reliability of the Report Engine SDK?
    It is very slow. We are using a Java client to interact with the dswsbobje libraries.
    Calls to " reportEngine.getDocumentInformation" are not consistently working even from the same program.
    We supply the prompt info parameters to generate the report.
    It works for the first 3 times, then fails a couple of times, and then works again.
    Sometimes a report load in 3 seconds, and other times it loads in 30 seconds or not at all.

    Why not open a case with SAP Support?

  • Report Engine SDK: CommunicationException when accessing IReportEngine members

    Hello,
    I have installed BOXI 3.1 SP3, including the .NET SDK, and I am trying to use the Report Engine SDK part to navigate through a WebIntelligence document (analyse its structure, etc.), via a Console App.
    I built my console app targeting .NET framework 3.5, and compiled it in 32 bits mode (x86 platform). I can access the standard SDK without any problem and log in to the CMS then retrieve any InfoObject instances from my enterprise server.
    My problem occurs when I try to access my BusinessObjects.ReportEngine.IReportEngine instance's members. Sample lines of code:
    SessionMgr sessionManager = new SessionMgr();
    EnterpriseSession session = sessionManager.Logon(login, password, cmsName, authType);
    InfoStore infoStore = (InfoStore)session.GetService("InfoStore");
    UserInfo userInfos = session.UserInfo;
    string logonToken = session.LogonTokenMgr.CreateWCAToken("", 1, -1);
    ReportEngines reportEngines = new ReportEngines(logonToken);
    IReportEngine reportEngine = (IReportEngine)reportEngines.getService(ReportEngineType.WI_ReportEngine);
    bool test = reportEngine.IsReady; // or any other member of reportEngine, like reportEngine.OpenDocument(...)
    An exception of type 'BusinessObjects.ReportEngine.CommunicationException' occured.

    Hi,
    Enterprise / ReportEngine SDK is not supported / tested / compatible with desktop / console apps.
    Could you try the same logic with a web services sdk, as WebServices SDk is the only SDK which could be used to develop thick client apps.

  • Report Engine SDK - Rbean usage in standalone java application

    Post Author: Berndb
    CA Forum: JAVA
    In BOXI the rebean sdk is available in the Report Engine SDK.
    I remember that in the 6.5 world one could use RBEAN interface in a standalone java application.
    Is this still possible in BOXI R2?
    If yes can you supply a sample classpath which shows all libraries that needs to be assigned.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ted's right, but for fun, take what you need from:
    <installation drive>:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\desktoplaunch\WEB-INF\lib
    and de-reference what's not needed when your project's done, but be careful.

  • Is it possible to use the JAVA Report Engine SDK to modify DESKI reports?

    Post Author: Nadine
    CA Forum: JAVA
    Hi, is it possible to add a complex filter to a DESKI report using the JAVA report engine sdk?
    In the developer tutorials for this API, I've only found references to WEBI in terms of modifying reports, though it seems to be possible to view DESKI reports with this sdk.
    I am a bit confused in terms of the scope of this API and how I would use it in regard to DESKI.
    Many thanks for any suggestions!

    Post Author: Ted Ueda
    CA Forum: JAVA
    Current (XI R2) version of ReportEngine API only supports refreshing/viewing functionality for Desktop Intelligence documents.  Document modification/creation is only supported with Web Intelligence documents.  Queries aren't modifiable for Deski using ReportEngine API - you can only do so using Desktop Intelligence Reporter SDK, which is COM based.Sincerely,Ted Ueda

  • Passing dynamic prompt value using Report Engine SDK

    Hello Experts,
    I have created a webi report which contains prompt. Using SDK, I would like to catch the value of prompt which is selected by a user at runtime.
    e.g. If prompt contains values year, quarter, month, etc and user has selected value of u2018Quarteru2019 at run time, then I would like to catch that value using Report Engine SDK.
    I tried to implement prompt.getCurrentValues(). However that is not working.
    Can someone please help me to figure out the way to catch this dynamic prompt value using Report Engine SDK?
    Thanks,
    John

    Where is the prompt values being set, and where are you trying to catch it?

  • Error: RWI 00236 in retrieving Recordset via XIR2 Java SDK Report Engine

    Hi,
    I use XIR2 Rebean Webi report engine SDK and I am trying to retrieve the recordset of a webi document. I can get all sorts of other properties like SQL, data providers etc but when it comes to retrieving the recordset I get the following error message:

    eb Intelligence server could not be reached. Contact your Business Objects admin
    istrator. (Error: RWI 00236)"

    Then I get the Infostore, and then I prepare my string for the webi doc to get the Infoobjects

    The query only retrieves 5 rows so I would tend to rule out that the problem is due to the size of the recordset.
    Am I missing something?
    Any idea would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Edited by: Fabio Sangirogi on Jul 30, 2009 1:25 PM

    I know that "Recordset"  is an interface therefore cannot be directly instantiated.
    With this in mind, would the following make sense in Java?
    Recordset rs = null;
                       rs = dp.getResult(0);
    (dp is a Dataprovider data type)
    I checked the object model: the Dataprovider class has got the method
    "getResult(in flowIndex: int): Recordset"
    so it looks like it can instantiate the Recordset interface.For a simple data provider I believe the index integer input parameter is 0.
    (1 would return array out of bound).
    I was also thinking of the QueryString I used
    String queryStr = "SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND='" + CeKind.WEBI + "' AND SI_INSTANCE=0 AND SI_NAME='" + "MyWebiDoc" + "'";
    I would have thought it is fine since I can get other properites of the dataprovider but could there be something not right in the query string as far as the recordset is concerned? Any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Report Engine API 4.0 (upgrade to 4.1)

    Hi,
    In the incoming days we will face the upgarde of our current SAP BI Platform (4.0 SP8) to next minor release (4.1). One of most challenging points is to ensure the proper behaviour of existing SDK customizations based on Report Engine API available at 4.0. I know that SAP is promoting use of Restful Web Services as a way to implement functionality previously delivered by JAVA API but my question is. Will current Report Engine API based developments work under in 4.1 release? In other words, has SAP planned an smooth transition from Report Engine API to restful Web Services scenario (compatibility scenario ) or code will have to be completely rewriten ?
    Thanks,

    Hi Alfons,
    As per the current situations Report Engines SDKs are still the same in BI 4.1 likewise in BI 4.0 all patches. You can perform the below functionalities with BI 4.x Report Engines SDK :
    - Export Webi Report to some other format.
    - View a Webi Report.
    - Partial drilling.
    - Save prompts in Webi reports etc.(Most of the functionalities are deprecated like schedule with prompts etc.)
    On the other hand with Webi Raylight REST SDKs you can leverage the workflow of legacy functional parity of BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Report Engines SDKs.
    By seeing as a future, it looks like most of the new development & enhancement are happens in the Webi REST world. So planning to rewrite the code in terms of REST SDKs is beneficial.
    As you are talking about the compatability, Report Engines Java SDKs are same upto BI 4.1 Patch 4 release. But it might be possible that in future Report Engines Java SDKs are totally deprecated. You can also refer the Object Model Digram of Report Engines SDKs which gives you list of deprecated interfaces, classes & methods.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,
    Shailendra

  • Webi and Deski report engine ports

    We're having problems connecting to the webi or deski report engines through a firewall with BO XI R2 Java SDK. We've followed this document extensively :
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0047e5f4-3140-2b10-1bae-de175e4c741c
    We've set the -port and -requestport switches but the opendocument call always hangs and eventually gives out the error :
    No server was available to process the request. Please try again later. (Error: RFC 00101)
    Its definitely a firewall issue - I can turn off the firewall to solve it, but obviously that's not a long term solution.
    I believe we have configured the servers correctly according to that document given we managed to successfully connect to the CMS through a firewall following the same procedure.
    If anyone has any experience connecting to the RAS webi / deski servers through a firewall via the Java SDK, please let me know.
    Greg.

    You should only be getting the getRASConnection() method log with Desktop Intelligence, since the internal server name is RAS21.  It's distinct from the public server name RAS (Report Application Server) that's specific to Crystal Reports.  Not trying to harp on this, just an FYI when posting.
    How about the Desktop Intelligence Cache Server?  All communications to the Desktop Intelligence Report Server goes through the Cache Server.  So it's SDK <-> DeskI Cache <-> DeskI Report Server.
    Sincerely, 
    Ted Ueda

  • List of universe for a deski report using deski report engine.

    We have some Deski reports. While running query builder , we are not able to get list of universe for those reports. (SI_UNIVERSE.SI_TOTAL is 0).
    We need to go for deski report engine approach to get the list for the same. Can someone please help me with the sample code for the same.
    Thanks,
    Abhay

    Hi Ted,
    Do you know if the ability to pull DeskI SQL will be supported through Java reportEngine in the future?  Is there a workaround aside from using COM SDK to pull this data provider information for DeskI?
    Thanks
