Schedule webi with prompts problem

Question

I want to schedule a webi document that has prompts.
If the data of the webi document is purged, I have a problem when scheduling that webi document. Before the schedule starts, the values of the webi document must be set. But if the data is purged, the list of the prompts is empty.
String query = "select * from ci_infoobjects where si_id = 3427";
IInfoObjects infoObjects = iStore.query(query);
IWebi webi = (IWebi) infoObjects.get(0);
List prompts = webi.getPrompts();
In the above example prompts is empty.
In [http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=87466&sid=1e70a1f434d279a78a0f8935bd245951] I see that I can use the following:
ReportEngines reportEngines = (ReportEngines) session.getService("ReportEngines");
ReportEngine reportEngine = reportEngines.getService(ReportEngines.ReportEngineType.WI_REPORT_ENGINE);
DocumentInstance docInstance = reportEngine.openDocument(webi.getID());
PromptsUtil.populateWebiPrompts(docInstance.getPrompts(), webi);
After doing this, webi.getPrompts() isn't empty any more.
But PromptsUtil is deprecated.
So I wonder if there isn't a better way to make this possible.

Answer 1

PromptsUtil isn't deprecated.  The documentation should be corrected.
