How to use Java SDK to schedule a report in business objects

hi guys i am having a scenario , were the Java SDK will be passing the parameters dynamically to the report in business objects . the Java SDK is kicked by the file based events. this Java SDK will be on the unix server and the business object is also on the unix server. I am having the crystal reports in boe which need to be triggered by the Java SDK . such that the report is scheduled to a particular location on the unix  for every week,when the java passes the parameters to the report in boe

You can do this by using the BOE SDK. Here are some samples:

  • SAP BO Report Scheduling and Save as report using Java SDK

    Hi All,
    We have a java product which is integrated with SAP BO using Java SDK and we have certain java screen through which we select report prompt values and webi report gets run.
    Now we want to give a functionality to save report to BO repository.
    When user select certain check box from java screen a separate copy of the webi report should get saved under default folder on BO repository.
    Also, we want user to choose the scheduling option from java screen only (and not the one which we use from BI Launchpad) due to certain access restriction. User does not have access to BI Launchpad. Only he can run report by selecting values through Java screen.
    If i need to create a separate screen for scheduling as well as saving webi report then also i am ok with it.
    P.S. i guess we need to work on Java SDK level. But could somebody please help me with the right direction?
    Let me know in case requirement is not clear.

    Hi Ketan,
    As you are on version BI 4.0 SP5 and would be migrating to BI 4.1, the best SDKs to use would be the Restful Webservices SDKs.
    You have the options to schedule a webi report with prompts as well as the save feature which you require.
    Please refer to the webi restful guides avialble at
    For BI 4.0 SP5

  • Can I use Webservices SDK for scheduling Reports?

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to use Webservices SDK. The process flow is explained as below:-
    PeopleSoft calls Java component which schedules the BO Reports by calling BO program Objects. I was using BOE SDK before. But SAP advised to move to Webservices SDK as to remove CORBA connection issues.
    Can I use Webservices SDK for scheduling Reports?
    Please update.
    Thanks,
    Anu

    Its possible to schedule reports from web services SDK. Its stated in the Web services SDK Doc.

    I am trying to create a sample report using JAVA SDK.
    I slelect 4 "free cells" and pass 4 different strings to it.
    I even slelect the font colour and size. When i run the class and try to view the report in Infoview, I only seeblank blocks without any data. Now if I edit the report from infoview, and save the changes, I am able to see the data.

    Sample report using JAVA SDK

    I use the java sdk to update the report database jndi alias and then save the report. While saving the report, the utility throws the following exception. It only happens to 3 reports out of more than 70 reports. What could be the problem with report that is causing this problem ?

    It is unclear where you are having a problem.  Is your issue at runtime (when the form runs in the browser) or when working in the Builder on the form?
    Also be aware that you will need to sign your jar and include some new manifest entries.  Refer to the Java 7u51 documentation and blogs that discuss the changes.

  • Having trouble with creation of a cloud service with multiple virtual machines using java sdk.

    I am creating a cloud service on azure with 2 virtual machines using java sdk API. Service created successfully.
    My input endpoint details are as follows.
    INPUT ENDPOINTS
    Head : 191.238.144.47:2400
    Head : 191.238.144.47:22
    Node0 : 191.238.144.47:43211
    For Head instance port 2400 is for HTTPS and port 22 is for SSH and for Node0 instance port 43211 is for SSH.
    But I am having problem with doing a ssh on Head instance. Sometimes it works sometimes doesn't. Same problem with HTTPS also.
    I have some application running over there but when i try to access it thru browser sometimes it works but most of the time doesn't. When I restart the instances from azure portal, its works after
    that(not always but most of the time). 
    Now I am confused what is going on there. I am creating cloud service and virtual machines using java sdk and setting input endpoints also. After creation of all instances i restart every instance programmatically .
    I am not sure whether restart is required or not. It must be something to do with input endpoints only but not able to get the right thing i guess. When i do the same thing thru azure portal(creation of cloud service with virtual machines and setting up input
    end points) everything works fine but not achieving the result when implementing it by java sdk API. Please help me.

    HI Nithin,

  • JNI - how to use java access function in TypeLibrary( .tlb file) HELP ME PL

    Hey All
    I got one project which can be done by calling up functions in xxxx.tlb
    (window type library) file, that is no problem.
    How to use java to access those functions???
    I know there are some classes which can be used to access function in
    DLL file e.g. JAWIN.
    Is the .tlb file related to one DLL file??? if so, how to locate the
    DLL file through .tlb file???
    Thanks a lot.
    Steve

    Use JNI to create a link between Java class and a DLL, then you can load that DLL (or TLB) from that class.
    Read the JNI Tutorials.

    Greetings,
    hi forum...
    how to use Java WebStart with EJB ? examples ?Well, for starters these are complementing, not 'cooperating', technologies. I presume, since EJB's do not - directly, at least - communicate with a web browser, that you intend for "Java WebStart" to somehow invoke an EJB?? Java WebStart is a technology for running client-side (Java) applications from the web browser - perceptively, the application resides on the server, but technically it, like an applet, is downloaded to the client and run there. Unlike an applet, however, it is not constrained by "sandbox" restrictions and does not have to be re-downloaded each time it is invoked - though the process allows for automagically updating the client-side with new versions of the application. ;) So, with this in mind, to "use Java WebStart with EJB" means little more than deploying an EJB client application with Java WebStart as the distribution channel.

  • How to use java api for function activity in embed oracle workflow?

    because i can't install standalone oracle workflow successfully.
    pls tell me how to use java api for function activity in embed oracle workflow?
    are there some patch or pulg-in package?
    ths a lot...........

    The Java Function Activity Agent is not certified for Oracle Workflow embedded in Oracle Applications. Installing standalone workflow should be a lot easier than what you have found, although it looks like you did hit a Pentium 4 issue with the Oracle Universal Installer. I suggest you contact Oracle Support or Oracle Consulting for assistance.

    Hi,
        How to use Java code inside WebDynpro-ABAP.
    Could any one provide sample code.
    Cheers,
    Sam

    Hi Sam,
    We can't Bring Java Inside the ABAP. Both are running in different Environments.
    and also ABAP Codes are runs on BASIS.
    -Basis is a middleware between ABAP codes and Ur OS.
    -Contains set of programs to load,RUN,intepret the ABAP program..
    So Both are Different.
