ReportAbsolutePath

I am using OBIEE 11g.
I search google. There are some blogs about how to integrate OBIEE webservices with Java.
However, there is a question should be pasted here. That is how to find the report file. Most blogs show report path as follow.
However, I cannot find XMLP directory.
reportAbsolutePath = "D:\\OraHome_1\\xmlp\\XMLP\\Users\\~administrator\\Learn\\Test1\\Test1.xdo"
or
ReportRequest repReq = new ReportRequest(); //request
ReportResponse repRes = new ReportResponse(); //reponse
// Setting the parameters
repReq.setAttributeFormat("pdf");
repReq.setAttributeLocale("en-US");
repReq.setAttributeTemplate("World Sales");
repReq.setReportAbsolutePath("/Sales Manager/World Sales/World Sales.xdo ");
Does anyone know how to find the correct path?

hi,
Giving some idea
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e12188/T421739T524310.htm#reportrequest
sizeOfDataChunkDownload --->f you set flattenXML to true, or if you do not want to chunk the data, set this parameter to -1 to return all data back to the client.
have u set the flattenXML =True;
Thanks,

Generating a report from RTF template using WSDL from ADF

Hi,
I am a newbie to ADF-BIP integration.
I am using the wsdl http://<<ip>>:<<port>>/xmlpserver/services/PublicReportService?WSDL for generating a report from RTF Template in ADF.
We are using Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Release 11g (11.1.1) and JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.5.0).
I have a couple of merge variables in my RTF template and I am passing these variable using Report Request parameters.
below is code I added for creating the report request.
First I created publicReportService using webservice proxy.
    public static ReportRequest getReportRequestFromBIPWithTemplate(String reportFolderOnBIP,
                                                        String reportName,
                                                        String outputFileFormat,
                                                        String template,
                                                        HashMap params) {
      String reportAbsolutePath = reportFolderOnBIP + "/" + reportName + ".xdo";
      ReportRequest repRequest = new ReportRequest();
      System.out.println("report path: " + reportAbsolutePath);
      repRequest.setReportAbsolutePath(reportAbsolutePath);
      repRequest.setAttributeTemplate(template);
      repRequest.setAttributeFormat(outputFileFormat);
      repRequest.setAttributeLocale("en-US");
      repRequest.setSizeOfDataChunkDownload(-1);
      System.out.println(params.size());
      ParamNameValue[] paramNameValue = new ParamNameValue[params.size()];
      ArrayOfParamNameValue arrayOfparamNameValue = new ArrayOfParamNameValue();
      Set set = params.entrySet();
      Iterator iter = set.iterator();
      int i = 0;
      while (iter.hasNext()) {
        Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry)iter.next();
        System.out.println(i + "--->>>" + me.getKey() + " : " + me.getValue());
        paramNameValue[i] = new ParamNameValue();
        paramNameValue.setMultiValuesAllowed(false);
ArrayOfString values = new ArrayOfString();
if (me.getValue() == null) {
values.getItem().add("");
} else {
values.getItem().add((me.getValue()).toString());
paramNameValue[i].setValues(values);
paramNameValue[i].setName((me.getKey()).toString());
arrayOfparamNameValue.getItem().add(paramNameValue[i]);
i++;
repRequest.setParameterNameValues(arrayOfparamNameValue);
return repRequest;
I generated report response bytes using below code
{code:java}
repRes = publicReportService.runReport(repReq,userID,password);
reportStream = repRes.getReportBytes();I could see the generated PDF but the supplied variables are NOT reflected in place of merge variables.
Ex: In template
Welcome, <<merge variable, userName>>
{code}
Generated PDF should have
{code:java}
Welcome, Hello World
{code}
Instead of the above I am getting
{code:java}
Welcome,
{code}
I am looking for a suggestion, Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Satya

So error message says: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Invalid element in oracle.xdo.webservice.v2.ReportRequest - paramNameValues
I think there is a problem with the format of ParamNameValues, just don't know what exactly is the problem.
Any ideas ?

Any help would be greatly received

I had the same problem this morning. You need to add a line to the HTTP header to declare a value for SOAPAction.
You can set this as an empty string, but for some reason it is required.
Try adding this among your header declarations:
utl_http.set_header(req, 'SOAPAction', '');

Problem in BI Publisher release 11.1.1 scheduleService v2

Hello everyone,
I'm facing a problem when trying to schedule a Report using V2/ScheduleService in BI Publisher release 11.1.1.

The answer i receive from the service seems to be ok:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<scheduleReportResponse xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/service/v2">
<scheduleReportReturn xsi:nil="true"/>
</scheduleReportResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
but, as always, there is a subtle problem, the scheduler doesn't produce any output to the specified folder. Neither it shows the scheduled report in the Report History Info console page.
The log file (xdo.log) contains the following information about the scheduled report:
[012711_152729877][][STATEMENT] ScheduleService::scheduleReport BEGIN
[012711_152729880][][STATEMENT] PublicReportService::initSession BEGIN

--- Elapse Time = 38
[012711_152729921][][STATEMENT] ScheduleServiceImpl::scheduleReport
Service BEGIN
It seems that, in fact, the request has been recognized but the service does actually, nothing...
Some help would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nuno

Same problem - no report output from bipublisher (11.1.1.3.0) when requesting Report.xdo via xmlpserver/services/v2/ScheduleService?wsdl. There is a ScheduleServiceImpl::scheduleReport Service BEGIN, but no END tag in the xdo.log.

        ... 3 moreThanks for giving this problem a look.
-Sookie

Hi Sookie,
I found the problem is with couple of child parameters are not registered the deserializer. There're couple of additional classes needs to be registerd.
// register the TemplateLabelValue class
QName templateval = new QName(bipNamespace, "TemplateFormatLabelValue");
Class cls = TemplateFormatLabelValue.class;
call.registerTypeMapping(cls, templateval, BeanSerializerFactory.class, BeanDeserializerFactory.class);
// register the TemplateLabelValues class
QName templatevals = new QName(bipNamespace, "TemplateFormatsLabelValues");
cls = TemplateFormatsLabelValues.class;
call.registerTypeMapping(cls, templatevals, BeanSerializerFactory.class, BeanDeserializerFactory.class);
Could you please give it a try?
Thanks.

Setting the attachment name in web service call scheduleReport

Hi there,
I searched the forum for this, found lots of threads but no useful solution...
I am using BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 and I need to send a PDF report by email using its web service functionality. This works fine but the report is attached as "attachment.pdf" which is far from ideal. Is it possible to specify what the attachment should be called (e.g. "veryimportantreport.pdf")
See below an example of the web service call I am doing.
Thanks
Luis

We are using BIP to generate reports from Apex and it works very well, except for this small detail.
By the way, you sound very sure; are you related to Oracle in any way (I mean, is this an "official" answer)? I can't tell from your profile...

data: lr_header type ref to CL_SALV_WD_HEADER.
lr_table_settings ?= l_value. lr_header = lr_table_settings->get_header( ).
lr_header->set_text( 'FLIGHT LIST SEARCH' ).

Empty pdf report created by web service-Solved

Hi, I'm trying to test the web service for BI Publisher with an xml data source and evn though I get no errors in jdeveloper, I get an empty report. Can anyone see anything wrong with my call to the webservice?

try {
bip_webservice.proxy.PublicReportServiceClient myPort = new bip_webservice.proxy.PublicReportServiceClient();
System.out.println("calling " + myPort.getEndpoint());
String username = "cbashyb";
String password = "testing";
String reportAbsolutePath = "/~cbashyb/Contract Renewal/Contract Renewal.xdo";
//Testing runReport
ReportRequest repRequest = new ReportRequest();
repRequest.setReportAbsolutePath(reportAbsolutePath);
repRequest.setAttributeTemplate("Contract_Renewal_Upgrade");
repRequest.setAttributeFormat("pdf");
ReportResponse repResponse = new ReportResponse();
repResponse = myPort.runReport(repRequest,username,password);
String contentType = repResponse.getReportContentType();
System.out.println(contentType);
byte[] baReport = repResponse.getReportBytes();
FileOutputStream fio = new FileOutputStream("C:\\Documents and Settings\\cbashyb\\My Documents\\XML Publisher\\renewal letter\\Brian.pdf");
fio.write(baReport);
fio.close();

The missing slashes are from the formatting OTN uses, not something left out of your code?

Please help, Very strange issue when generate different template

Hello, Can someone help for below Strange Problem.
1. The PDF template files are defined in BI Publisher Layout as a.pdf, b.pdf
2. the parameters are defines in BI too
4. logic as below, generated PDF based on a.pdf. generated PDF based on b.pdf,
then merger a.pdf and b.pdf together.
5. Codes for generated PDF as below
this.reportDefinitionResp = bIPublisher.getReportDefinition(this.reportAbsolutePath, this.userID, this.password);
this.reportRequest = new ReportRequest();
this.reportRequest.parameterNameValues = this.reportDefinitionResp.reportParameterNameValues;
this.reportResponse = bIPublisher.runReport(this.reportRequest, this.userID, this.password);
6. the PDF generated by the a.pdf is correct, but generated by the b.pdf is not correct, instead it is same as a.pdf?
so after merger, we get the duplicate pages.
7. Not all templates has same issue, sometime we get this issue, how to fix it?

Trying to obtain PDF output from OBIEE webservice call

I am using SOAPUI v4.5.1 (running on Win7) to initiate web service calls to OBIEE v11.1.1.5 (running on OEL 5.5)

While the XML response looks good, I am not receiving the actual "test.pdf" file on the client side. Has anyone been able to use the "runReportRequest" web service call to successfully return PDF files back to the client? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You have run into an interesting problem. The problem is not with Reports. The problem is with Adobe. You can search Adobe's web site and they point to Microsoft (btw, this problem doesn't occur with netscape as the browser) Microsoft's web site point to Adobe.
The Problem is that the .ocx Adobe puts out for use with IE times out if the report take stoo long to start sending back data. We had report that worked and some that didn't. We took a report that worked and put a sleep command in it and when the sleep command got to 10 the report quit working.
My suggestion: move to netscape, make your reports as fast as absolutely possible.

RunReport problem

Hello,
I am new to web service and I'm trying to open BIP report in Apex by using web service (wsdl).
Firstly, I followed the tutorial http://tylermuth.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/call-bi-publisher-web-services-from-apex/ , but I got the error message as below

Is there anything I missed or did wrong? If you don't mind, please give me some advice. Thank you.

Report Definition not found - calling a report from JDev.

Hello,
I have the following on my local machine:
BI Publisher
Jdeveloper
I created a report in BI publisher called Test1, and now I am creating a web service in jdeveloper to call it.
I am having issues with calling it from my jdeveloper.
here is the code I am using to call my report (below).
Since BI publisher is installed on my local machine I tried both paths but neither are working
1- final String reportAbsolutePath = "C:\\Test1.xdo";
2 - "http://aramamni-us.us.oracle.com:9704/xmlpserver/~administrator/Learn/Test1/Test1.xdo"
I am sure 2 will not work since System.out.println("calling " + myPort.getEndpoint()); returns
"calling http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/services/PublicReportService"
I know the problem is with this line of code but I can't figure it out.
repResponse = myPort.runReport(repRequest,username,password);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            bip_webservice.proxy.PublicReportServiceClient myPort = new bip_webservice.proxy.PublicReportServiceClient();
            System.out.println("calling " + myPort.getEndpoint());
            // Add your own code here
             final String username = "Administrator";
             final String password = "Oracle123";
             //final String reportAbsolutePath = "/Web Service Test/HR Manager/Employee Salary Report.xdo";
             final String reportAbsolutePath = "C:\\Test1.xdo";
            // Testing runReport
