Retrieving Object Names from a WEBI report

Hello,
I have to couple of Webi reports assigned to an universe. Can anyone tell me if there is a option to get the different universe objects, which are used in each Webi report query via JSP. I couldn't find a helpful method in the BusinessObjects Enterprise Web Services API, which would prodive this function.
Please provide steps to follow how could I get these used objects.
Thanks in advance,
David

How to retrieve user name from a given Subject?

I am in a situation where I need to retrieve user name from the Subject that is populated when user logs in. I have the active Subject and I do following to get the principals in the subject and iterate through them:
Set principals = subject.getPrincipals();
Iterator ite = principals.iterator();
while (ite.hasNext()) {
Principal prin = (Principal)ite.next();
String name = prin.getName();
But this contains all the principals, including user name, roles, password, etc. How do I programmatically determine which one is user name?

Don't you have different principal types? I am making a jaas module and I have different principals for roles, groups etc. I think of principals as attributes, the type in the attribute name and the principal name is the attribute value.
To get all the principals of the type SomePrincipal, you can use:
Set principals = subject.getPrincipals(SomePrincipal.class)
You can also take som principal an test wether it is an instance of som type:
if (Principal p instanceof SomePrincipal){..}
An other solution which might be better if you have many different attributes is to store both attribute name and value in the name of the principal.
If "mark" is a username the principal name will be "username:mark" el.
Then it will be easy to find the username.

Retrieve Operation Name from WSDL

Hi All,
In a text box any WSDL can be given as input but its operation name should be displayed in a combo. Let me know how to retrieve operation name from WSDL. I want the java coding to be written in backing bean class.
Thanks,
Maanickka.

Hi,
the reference to a WSDL file produces a XML document to be returned. So you need to parse that document for methods. Have you tried this?

API to retrieve SQL query from a Webi Document

Hi,
Which API can be used to retrieve the Oracle SQL query for a webi report using BO XI web services SDK? The report is connected to a Oracle database in the backend.
A sample code is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Liz

The libraries for the Enterprise and Report Engine SDKs are included with your Enterprise installation and the location will vary with each version:
XI Release 1 and Release 2
XI Release 1 (assuming it's installed on C:\):

- Linux/UNIX: (INSTALL_DIR)/java/lib
XI Release 2:
- Windows: (INSTALL_DIR)\Business Objects\Common\3.5\java\lib
- Linux/UNIX: (INSTALL_DIR)/java/lib
There are quite a few JAR files in this location, but you should only need the following set for Enterprise & REBean with XI Release 1 or XI Release 2:
From the java\lib directory
- boconfig.jar
- cecore.jar
- celib.jar

Objects used in a Webi Report

Hello Friends,
I need to identify all the Webi reports in BI 4.1 that use a particular object from the universe. I have never used RESTful Web Services SDK before, Does anyone have a sample code that I could use as a starting point to get this info?
Regards,
-CF

Hi Chris,
I guess you wont find someone posting a complete sample for your question.
The task itself is not that complex and can be achieved with the REST webservices.
Basically you need to use the webservice endpoints for the semantic layer and the web intelligence sdks - usually http://<server_name>:6405/biprws/sl/v1 and http://<server_name>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1
With the semantic layer you fetch the universes
     - <slURL>/universes
then the universe details with the outline
     - <slURL>/universes/5808
There you can identify the object and then use the webi sdk to fetch all documents
     - <webiURL>/documents?offset={offset}&limit={limit}
iterate through them and get the list of dataproviders
     - <webiURL>/documents/{documentId}/dataproviders
then the dp details
     - <webiURL>/documents/{documentId}/dataproviders/{dataProviderId}
There you go with all the information you need.
Hope this helps

Drill function implemented on Measure object column in the webi report

Post Author: madan kumar
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Hi,
I have a small issue in my project.(Maintenance Project)I created a measure object in the fact table of the existing universe and saved and exported to the repository. (Say Measure object is D where D = A-(B+C))I inserted the same object as a column between two measure objects columns of a existing WebI report.
The report has two hierarchies involved - each hierarchy has dimension objects involved.I have checked with the hierarchies to make sure that measure object is not involved.The scope of analysis is None for the query.Version is BO XI R2.
The issue is the Drill function is implemented on that particular new column.The drill function should be applicable only to the two dimension objects involved in the report.But this measure object column is also getting drilled once the Drill option is selected.I had to remove the drill optiion from the Measure object column.
Can anyone help me on this issue...
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for your reply. I did the date diff on the columns. It does not break into 3 different groups. I am using a function called previous on the date column. So the report is like this
    DATE                           Pervious (DATE)                 Date - Pervious(DATE)
01-01-2008 01:06              Null
01-01-2008 01:12              01-01-2008 01:06               :06
01-01-2008 01:18              01-01-2008 01:12               :06
01-01-2008 01:24              01-01-2008 01:18               :06
01-01-2008 01:30             01-01-2008 01:24              :06
01-01-2008 01:36             01-01-2008 01:30               :06
Basically we are breaking on the Date - Previous ( Date) column which does not work. I am not sure if there is a way to break this. I even tried it in Crystal REports XI and it does not work their either. Any help with this issue with be greatly appriciated.

Hide author properties from a WebI report?

Hello,
I need to u201CHideu201D the report Author from the properties in a Webi report.
Can I do it with WebI Extension Points (Java or DHTML) or with REBEAN?
Thanks,
Paul

Hello,
There no fine-grained control over the "Document Properties" frame specific to visibility of the "Created by:" field displayed, either in the Java Report Panel or DHTML Interactive Editor Extension Points.
You can try editing the Interactive Editor JSP file that controls that panel - it's relatively straightforward - but that would take your deployment out of support.
One way for definiteness would be - instead - to modify the "createdby" Web Intelligence document property to something else, using ReportEngine Java SDK:
documentInstance = reportEngine.openDocument(id);
properties = documentInstance.getProperties();
properties.setProperty(PropertiesType.AUTHOR, "pookie");
documentInstance.setProperties(properties);
documentInstance.save();
Of course, this isn't what you want if you want to keep the "Created by:" field, but merely prevent it from being displayed in the viewers.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Link from BOBJ Webi report to CRM webUI screen

Hi experts,
I was wondering, if there's a way to create a link from Webi report (based on CRM data) to webUI content in CRM? For example, Webi report will have opportunity numbers. User will be able to click on the opportunity number and get to webUI screen where he could see opportunity details and maybe even modify it.
Best regards,
Vlad

Hi,
You can link Webi Document to webUI content in CRM with help of Hyperlink based on particular column then you need to parse the data.
Once Parse button is clicked, it displays with the parts of the URL parsed into sections depending on parameters specified in OpenDocument URL.
for more information kindly go through following document.

Retrieve file name from full file path

I am trying to retrieve a file name from a path (ex. c:\temp\tes.txt) using the following code, but it is given me an error of "The method split(String) in the type String is not applicable for the arguments (char).
{code}
String filepath = item.getName();
String[] buf = filepath.split('/');
String filename = buf[buf.length-1];
{code}
I tried to use double quote instead of single quote, but it is not returning anything.
{code}
String[] buf = filepath.split("/");
{code}
Anyone knows why? Thanks.

How is this related to JDBC?
Anyway, is the path separator actually a forward slash? Isn't it a backward slash?
If you're using Apache Commons FileUpload (which I guess, the 'item.getName()' is recognizeable), then just read their FAQ: [http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/faq.html#whole-path-from-IE].

Link to Child Webi report from Parent Webi report

Hi All,
I have child link for webi report in my parent webi report.
But, when i click on URL for child report, its again asking for logon credentials.
Is there any way to avoid asking logon credentials, instead it should pick credentials from parent.
Please reply.
Thanks,
Bhanu

Hi
If your link contains different host that is, after clicking the link if you want to redirect to another document with another BO server that time you have to supply credential (Login info of this server).
Case of same server no need to supply credential.
Thanks

Call ABAP From a Web Report

Hi All,
Can anyone pls tell me how can we call an ABAP report from a WAD report.
We have a requirement that is when we click on a tab in a WAD report it should go to the system and execute a ABAP Report.
Pls reply ASAP.
Thanks
Kapil

Hi All,
There is a small change in the requirement..
I'll brief you with the entire scenario again.
We have a reporting requirement that we were not able to achieve through BEx or WAD. So we decided to write a ABAP report for this. Since all the other reports are made in WAD.. we want this report also to be executed through WAD ie. when we execute this particular Web Template it should actually take us to the system and execute the ABAP report.
Pls give your suggestions on achieving this.
Thanks
Kapil
