Schedule a Webi XIR2 report to run for all values of the prompt ...

Question

Hi there,
Any ideea about if it's possible to schedule a Web Intelligence XIR2 report to automatically run for all  150 different prompt values in the LOV (and have 150 different instances)?
BOXIR2, Java deployment.
Many thanks.

You'd be scheduling the document 150 different times, each for one value of the LOV.
You'd use the ReportEngine (REBean) SDK to read the LOV values, then use the Enterprise SDK to schedule.
Here's a bit of code that illustrates how to schedule a Webi doc a single time with specified prompts.  You'd do something similar, but iterate the prompt setting and scheduling:
    IInfoStore iStore  = (IInfoStore) eSession.getService("InfoStore");
    ReportEngine reportEngine =  ((ReportEngines) eSession.getService("ReportEngines"))
                                    .getService(ReportEngines.ReportEngineType.WI_REPORT_ENGINE);
    IInfoObjects objs = iStore.query("Select TOP 1 * From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where "
                                      + " SI_KIND='Webi' And SI_INSTANCE=0 "
                                      + " And SI_NAME = '" + reportName + "'");
    //============================================================================
    // Open Webi document, then get and set Prompts collection
    //============================================================================
    IWebi            webi    = (IWebi) objs.get(0);
    DocumentInstance di      = reportEngine.openDocument(webi.getID());
    Prompts          prompts = di.getPrompts();
    for(int i = 0, m = prompts.getCount() ; i < m ; i++) {
        Prompt prompt = prompts.getItem(i);
        String name   = prompt.getName();
        if("Enter value(s) for State:".equals(name)) {
            Lov lov = prompt.getLOV();
            lov.refresh();
            Values values = lov.getAllValues();
            prompt.enterValues(new ValueFromLov[] { values.getValueFromLov(0),
                                                    values.getValueFromLov(1)});
        } else if ("Enter Shop Id:".equals(name)) {
            prompt.enterValues(new String[] { "261" });
    //===========================================================================
    // Copy prompts over to InfoObject
    //===========================================================================
    PromptsUtil.populateWebiPrompts(prompts, webi);
    //===========================================================================
    // Schedule Webi report to run once now
    //===========================================================================
    webi.getWebiFormatOptions().setFormat(IWebiFormatOptions.CeWebiFormat.Webi);
    ISchedulingInfo schedInfo = webi.getSchedulingInfo();
    schedInfo.setRightNow(true);
    schedInfo.setType(CeScheduleType.ONCE);
    iStore.schedule(objs);
