Save webi report as pdf programmatically

Does anyone has any SDK code sample or can point me to the location of code sample on how to save a webi report as PDF file programmatically? Also, is the ReportEngineSDK is sufficient for this task or I need some other SDK?
We are running XIr2 SP1 on Windows Server 2003, with Tomcat as web container.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi,
I think Using ReportEngine SDK you would not be able to save the webi report in PDF format.However it could be possible if you schedule a webi report to PDF format to unmanaged disk.
You can refer the following tutorials given in developer library's BusinessObjects Enterprise SDKs. You can either use .NET or Java SDKs.
How to schedule a report to a destination (FTP, SMTP, Disk, Printer, Inbox)
How to schedule and view Web Intelligence documents
Here is the link for developer library:

Error "Session Timed Out" When saving webi report as PDF

Hi,
I am getting below error when saving report as PDF
The Session Timed Out.The document *.wid has been auto saved in the Favorites~WebIntelligence Folder..Click Restore to retrieve it.
(ERROR : WIJ600001).
I get above error in PROD but works fine in DEV.
Version : BOE 3.1 SP7 (DEV & PROD).
Session Time out set as one hour.
Report runs for 3 minutes .once I get the data if I try to save it as PDF immediately I get the above mentioned Error.

The default Webi auto-save is every 600 seconds, which is 10 minutes. You could increase it to 3600 seconds (1 hour) in CMC -> Applications > Web Intelligence > Properties > Auto-save Settings on "Auto-save time delay".
See KB 1297132 - Error: WIJ 60001 after the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel is left inactive some time on http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1297132.
Hope this helps,

Convert Web Report to PDF

Hi all,
I need a possibility to <b>convert Web Reports</b> designed in WAD <b>into PDF</b>. SAP help portal says: 'You access BEx Web applications and reports in the portal. You can then convert these into PDF files and print them.' (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/03/d8c041a227ca17e10000000a155106/frameset.htm)
But I haven't found any documentation how to do this...could anyone please help me? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,
You will need to add a URL or button group to your template and use the command wizard to create the command ("Export Web Template"). You should be able to find more information in the SAP Help documentation for SAP NetWeaver 2004s, which I know you already have a link to.
If you are on a ramp-up project, you should have access also to the Ramp-up Knowledge Transfer (RKT) in the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/rkt-netweaver. This site contains materials that explain the new features, including the new web items and the command wizard. If you don't have access, check with your SAP consultant for assistance.

Scheduled Webi Report in PDF Format gets corrupted

Hi Experts,
When a webi report is scheduled the users that gets PDF format instance is getting corrupted intermittently.
Error:
Any help regarding this issue will be appriciated.
Regards,
Veer

Hi Veer,
What is the BO version and Adobe Reader version?
Is it occuring on all machines or specific machines?
Does same issue exist when the report is saved to PDF and not scheduled?
Do other PDF files (not scheduled from Webi report) work fine?
Are you using supported Adobe Reader version? Are the users using any other PDF tool to open the PDF files?
Have the users installed any plug-in over PDF tool?
Please provide this information in order to narrow down the issue.
Regards,
Yuvraj

Downloading web reports to excel

When down loading a BW web report to excel using the right click enhanced menu - download to MS excel we sometimes get asked to log onto the BW server again, this doesn't happen on all web reports only some. Why is this, is that a setting we can change so we can turn this off??
we are running BW 3.5

Web report in PDF output differently with different parameter string delimiter.

Hi guys.
Thanks for the two reply to my previous question regarding matrix report.
I have another question,
I invoke a report in web browser, so I put
http://web-server/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe?server=aquarium+report=salmon.rdf+userid=salmon/fish@seaworld+desformat=PDF+destype=cache+paramform=no+p_fishid="123"+p_exp="01-JAN-2002"+p_exp2="01-APR-2002"
The above results an empty PDF report output, i.e., no data.
But if I do this,
http://web-server/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe?server=aquarium+report=salmon.rdf+userid=salmon/fish@seaworld+desformat=PDF+destype=cache+paramform=no+p_fishid='123'+p_exp='01-JAN-2002'+p_exp2='01-APR-2002'
Then the report will work.
The ONLY difference, is that my parameters values for the first (error) URL I uses " and for the second (successful) I uses ' to delimit it.
This only happens when DESFORMAT=PDF, I tried using Text or HTML, both worked fine with both string delimiters (" and ').
Help.

Hi, thanks for answering.
But if I use double quotes, no data is shown in the PDF. Just an empty report format. Is there any work around this?
I am using Oracle Report 6i running on Windows NT 4 and Oracle 8i database.
Please advice.
