Semantic Layer RESTful Web SDK

Hi,
We are exploring the RESTful SDKs for both WebI documents and Semantic Layer. Our BI Platform environment is v4.1 SP01 running on Windows Server 2008R2
We are able to successfully connect and work with the WebI SDKs. However, when we try to work with the SL SDK we get the below error.
The below response was got when we tried to connect to the server and retreive the list of Universes (UNX) in the server.
Error with Stack Trace enabled:

The RESTful guide gives the status as "Service is not available" and the description is "The requested service is not provided by the RESTful web service SDK" for this error code.
Do we have to separately install any patch/configure for SL Web RESTful SDK? Or is the SL SDK supported only from 4.1SP02?
It will be great if you can provide some sample code for connecting to and extracting a list of Universes from the server.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,
Prasanna

Hi Prasanna,
The functionality that you are asking for i.e. retrieving the list of available universes is present in the Webi REST SDKs. You have to fire the below RESTful call sequence to get the list of available universe:
Step 1: Retrieve the X-SAP-LogonToken for login to enterprise using REST.
URL: http://<server-name>:<port-number>/biprws/logon/long
Method: POST
Headers: Content-type: application/xml
Data:
<attrs xmlns="http://www.sap.com/rws/bip">
<attr name="userName" type="string">XXXXXXX</attr>
<attr name="password" type="string">XXXXXXX</attr>
<attr name="auth" type="string" possibilities="secEnterprise,secLDAP,secWinAD,secSAPR3">secEnterprise</attr>
</attrs>
Step 2: Getting the list of available universes.
URL: http://<server-name>:<port-number>/biprws/raylight/v1/universes
Method: GET
Headers: Content-type: application/xml
X-SAP-LogonToken: "<Your-X-SAP-LogonToken-obtained-in-Step 1>"
Please check in the "Application" tab of CMC is your RESTful Application is installed or not.
BI Semantic Layer is comes with REST SDKs from BI 4.1 SP2 release.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Shailendra

Is it possible to add a user using the RESTful Web Services SDK

Others have asked before about user management features in the RESTful Web Services SDK. However I can find no answers or links which provide an answer to the question 'Is it possible to add a user using the BI 4.1 SP2 RESTful Web Services SDK'?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,

Hi Steve
Unfortunately, not possible. The BI RESTful can only get "stuff" that is already there. I suppose this would fall under some sort of "Object Creation" API and that is not there. Yet. Rumors abound, but nothing firm. Just as a BTW.; the Business Intelligence platform RESTful Web Service Developer Guide 4.1 is here:

How to update the Query of an existing WEBI document's dataprovider, through the RESTful Web service SDK.

Hi,
I am trying to update the Query of an existing WEBI document's dataprovider, through the RESTful Web service SDK.
For this, first i will get the Dataprovider information,
Example:
URI: http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/11111/dataproviders/DP0
Expected result;
<dataprovider>
     <id>DP0</id>
     <name>Query 1</name>
     <dataSourceId>1234</dataSourceId>
     <updated>2014-04-18T11:55:21.000-08:00</updated>
     <duration>1</duration>
     <isPartial>false</isPartial>
     <rowCount>113</rowCount>
     <flowCount>11</flowCount>
     <dictionary>
          <expression qualification="Dimension" dataType="String">
               <id>DP0.DO1</id>
                <name>EmpID</name>
               <description>Employee ID.</description>
                <dataSourceObjectId>DS0.DO1</dataSourceObjectId>
          </expression>
          <expression qualification="Dimension" dataType="String">
               <id>DP0.DO2</id>
               <name>EmpName</name>
               <description>Employee Name.</description>
               <dataSourceObjectId>DS0.DO2</dataSourceObjectId>
          </expression>
     </dictionary>
     <query>SELECT Employee.EmpID, Employee.EmpName FROM Employee</query>
</dataprovider>
Then Changing the above dataprovider's Query to some thing like below,
<query>SELECT Employee.EmpID, Employee.EmpName FROM Employee where Upper(Employee.EmpName)='RAJ'</query>
Please let me know the RESTful Call required to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Mahendra.

FYI, the output of this call returns something like:

Report Bursting with RESTful Web Services SDK

Hi,
We are looking to upgrade to BI 4.x from BI 3.1. We are not sure whether RESTful Web Services SDK is the way to go. We have a requirement where we need to be able to refresh a report, save the whole report content to a specified forma for a team lead/manager, and then section/burst each report to separate files that each is corresponding to the individual employee. In other words, for example, we have a team constent of 1 manager and 4 employees. We want to save one report for the manager with all the content from the 4 employees, and then 4 individual reports that each belong to each employee. We current have a macro code that does this in BI 31 refreshing Deski reports. We want to upgrade to BI 4.X, but the Deski and macro are no longer supported. The macro in BI 3.1 we used to control when to refresh, where to save the reports and update our external datasource that the reports finished refreshing and available for view. We want to keep the same functionality so that it is not a whole redesign of the system when the upgrade happens. Thank you so much for your help. Any sample code, tips and guides are helpful. I am looking to prototype first before I can confirm this will work when upgrading. I have a code snippet in macro (VBA) from BI 3.1 in the attached file for reference if you know of the equivalent.

Hi Raghunath,
Looking at your macro, most of the functionality would be available with REST SDK. With BI 4.x REST is now only SDK which provides APIs to work with webi report. With .NET or Java SDK we could not eeven schedule a webi doc with prompts.
With BI 4.1 REST APIs include.
refresh report, schedule report, save report, export which is done by your macro.
For detailed tasks, such as saving and modifying the report for specific users and send to schedule, you would need to play around with REST Urls to understand the workflow.
For starters take a look at the devleopers guide for REST here:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sbo41/en/sbo41_webi_restful_ws_en.pdf
Here is the doc which compares the availability of SDK APIs with different BI versions.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-53285
For any Enterprise level tasks, you could always use .NET or Java enterprise SDk and comibe it with your REST app.

Where is the Restful web services sdk?

I'm confused as to where to get this SDK, is it part of
51046777_2
SBOP BI PLATFORM 4.1 SP1 ENTER .NET SDK RUNTIME WINDOWS
or is it contained in a different package somewhere?
If you know where to get it, let me know, thanks in advance.

Need to auto-generate SDK for REST web service.

My company has developed a REST API for some web services, and we'd like to provide users with a Java SDK for consuming those services.
Our services are described by an XSD schema. On the backend, we are using JAXB to create Java classes corresponding to the schema. We create the request objects based on the parameters in the REST url, and JAXB converts our response objects from Java to XML.
We'd like to provide our users with similar Java classes on the client side. They should be able to create the object corresponding to the request, fill in various parameters, and submit it to our web service. The SDK should automatically convert the object into a REST URL, hit the URL with a Get, read the XML response, and convert that response into Java objects.
It seems like we should be able to auto-generate such an SDK based on our schema.
It seems like there are several tools for doing this for SOAP web services. For example, Apache Axis has Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java.
Can anyone recommend tools for creating client-side libraries for consuming RESTful web services? Does anyone have advice on products to avoid?

Replying to my own post here. The WADL2Java project on java.dev seems to be more like what I need. The only user-experience I've seen on the 'net is in this forum post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5239123&tstart=0
Anyone else used it?

HTTP error when trying to access RESTful web service from application

Hi,
We are getting the following error when trying to access a RESTful web service coming from Apex workspace 4.2.1 and Apex listener 2.1:
ORA-29273: HTTP request failed ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1130 ORA-29024: Certificate validation failure
In the Debug report, besides the above I also see:
error_backtrace: ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1130 ORA-06512: at "APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_WEB_SERVICES", line 543 ORA-06512: at "APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_WEB_SERVICES", line 1164 ORA-06512: at "APEX_040200.WWV_FLOW_PROCESS", line 396
We get that error whether we use https or http in the URI pointing to the web service. When I test the Web Service in Workspace RESTful service GUI, I get the data back. When I go build an application with a report calling the RESTful Web Service I get that error. Both the Application and the Workspace RESTful services are on the same Apex environment and even the same workspace.
What is odd is that I can actually put the URL of the web service into a browser and I get the data: (using the demo hr data in sample RESTful services.)
IN browser-- https://weblogic-dev.edu/apex/ace/hr/empinfo/
yields:

Any ideas on what would be causing the Error above in our application?
Thanks,

Edited by: patfmnd on Mar 11, 2013 3:25 PM
In reviewing the above error, I think we are realizing that we have to have the Weblogic layer SSL cert (actually the CERT from our BigIP load balancer which also does our SSL termination) imported into the Oracle server wallet where Apex is installed. Am I correct?
PM

We resolved our problem. The Apex Administrative Guide made us realize that we had to set up Wallet path in the Instance. This required working with DBAs to follow the Advanced networking guide to get the wallet set up on our server. We then added that path to the Instance configuration. (Manager Instance --> Instance settings). We ran into another other issue related to our implementation of CAS but were able to resolve that, and 'voila' were able to get the sample RESTful service consumed by our application!!
Now to the task of figuring out how to get Basic Auth working between client application and RESTful web service. If anyone has that working, let us know!!
It would be helpful if in the documentation of the Apex 2.x listener or Apex install/configuration there was clear reference to the above steps required for HTTPS access to RESTful web services.

Business Objects XI 4.0 Semantic Layer Questions

Can someone tell me if the new Business Objects XI 4.0 Semantic Layer is an alternative to the use of Universes?
I.E. There will be no need for Crystal Reports 2011 Enterprise, and Xcelcius to use Universes at all to access SAP ERP data as well as SAP BI/BW data?
Is the new direction of SAP not to use Universes to access ERP and BI/BW data at all?
We are a new SAP NETWEAVER ERP installation with BI/BW and are debating on using
1)Business Objects 3.2 with Universes
2)Crystal Reports with custom SQL, Rapidmarts and Data Integrator
3)Business Objects XI 4.0 with this new Semantic Layer and BI Consumer Services.
Any suggestions, pros and cons would be greatly appreaciated.
We are looking to align ourselves with future SAP Business Objects architectures.
Thanks in Advance,
Randy
Edited by: Randy on Feb 11, 2011 7:58 PM

Hi Randy,
Universe is an important part of the Semantic Layer, whether it is version 3.x or version 4.x of SAP BusinessObjects. In version 4.0 (officially known as BI 4.0), you will be using the new Information Design Tool to build universe. It is highly recommended for all of your presentation tools (i.e. WebI, Crystal, Xcelsius/Dashboard, etc) to go through the new Information Design Tool for data (including BW data).
The BI 4.0 Virtual Launch is scheduled on Feb 23. I suggest you to sign up at http://virtualevents.sap.com/business-analytics/login.aspx.
By the way, the SAP BusinessObjects does not have a version 3.2. The most current one is version 3.1. You might be confused with the FixPack which is now up to 3.4.
Hope this helps.

ADF Mobile - Securing REST Web Services

Hi,
I've developed some REST web services for my ADF Mobile app to use. They work fine but I'm having trouble securing them. According to the developer guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35521_01/doc.111230/e24475/amxwebservices.htm#CHDGFCGD
10.5.2 How to Enable Access to REST-Based Web Services
Since only one security policy is supported for REST-based web services, ADF Mobile automatically adds oracle/wss_http_token_over_ssl_client_policy for REST web service over HTTPS, or oracle/wss_http_token_client_policy for REST web service over HTTP protocol to enable Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) Lite Mobile ADF Application Agent to inject a proper security header.
..so I'm trying to attach the policy oracle/wss_http_token_service_policy to the web service, but deploying it to Weblogic results in the below stack trace.
I'm trying to attach the policy in JDeveloper by selecting the service class in the java structure pane, then in the Property Inspector, using the "Web Services extension" section to select the policy.
I'm guessing I've missed a step, but can't find what. Or I'm doing completely the wrong thing. Either way, any help in resolving would be very much appreciated.
Rich.

Consume JSON rest web services

Hi experts,
I have a requirement to Consume rest web services from a URL, which is in JSON format. Help me out to make it.
Thanks
~Faseeh

Hi Faseeh,
As Anthony has mentioned earlier, you need to specify the accept header as application/json. The Business Intelligence platform RESTful web service SDK also supports providing responses in JSON format. Please refer to the document links which Ludek has pointed out. There are 2 formats which are supported - XML (BIP SDK follows ATOM specification) and JSON.
For eg. for a particular request, below are the responses in 2 formats:
XML format:
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<title type="text">5432</title>
<id>tag:sap.com,2010:bip-rs/AfRWaT5_131NlLLf5bRMLKY/relationships/receivedAlerts/5432</id>
<author>
<name>Administrator</name>
<uri>http://commandcom-lcm:6405/biprws/infostore/12</uri>
</author>
<link href="http://commandcom-lcm:6405/biprws/infostore/5432" rel="related"></link>
<content type="application/xml">
<attrs xmlns="http://www.sap.com/rws/bip">
<attr name="id" type="int32">5432</attr>
<attr name="markedAsRead" type="bool">false</attr>
</attrs>
</content>
</entry>
JSON format:
"related":
"__deferred":
{"uri":"http://commandcom-lcm:6405/biprws/infostore/5432"}
"id":5432,
"markedAsRead":false
Hope this clarifies.

How to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts with RESTful Web Services

Hello,
I am trying to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts using RESTful Web Services with prompts. I am using Simple Rest Client app provided by Google Chrome. We have Business Objects SP6 Patch 1.
However the documentation for RESTful Web Services has only examples for the following
1. Schedule Documents without any Prompts to various destinations and recurrences.
2. Refresh Documents with Prompts.
Is there any example for scheduling documents with prompts? Please advise
Thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
With Rest Client, on BI4.0 SP6, you can schedule Webi documents with prompts using the following:
URL: http://<servername>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/<docid>/schedules
Method:POST
Request Body:
<schedule>
<name>Enter values for City:</name>
<format type="webi"/>
<destination>
<inbox/>
</destination>
<once retriesAllowed="2" retryIntervalInSeconds="60">
<startdate>2013-08-26T15:58:51.000+02:00</startdate>
<enddate>2013-08-27T15:58:51.000+02:00</enddate>
</once>
<parameters>
<parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0">
<id>0</id>
<technicalName>Enter values for City:</technicalName>
<answer constrained="false" type="Text">
<values>
<value>Austin</value>
</values>
</answer>
</parameter>
</parameters>
</schedule>
Using the above request you can schedule the Webi document with prompts to inbox destination and set for once.
The schedule can be sent in different formats to several destinations and set just for once, daily,
hourly or monthly.
You can also check the example for this on page 275 of SAP Webi RESTful SDK user guide for BI4.0 SP6 below:

Report Repointing using RESTful Web Services

With respect to this link: Changing Dataproviders for a Webi Report using RESTful Web Services
Cosider the following scenario:
You have an automation code using which, you accepts 20 report id and their respective Current universe id and New universe id.
If suppose, you have user input prompts in 10 reports and you don't know those 10 reports, how will you provide values to those prompts at a single execution of the code?
OR
Is there any function using which you can provide associated random value to those prompts?

Hi Raghunath,
Looking at your macro, most of the functionality would be available with REST SDK. With BI 4.x REST is now only SDK which provides APIs to work with webi report. With .NET or Java SDK we could not eeven schedule a webi doc with prompts.
With BI 4.1 REST APIs include.
refresh report, schedule report, save report, export which is done by your macro.
For detailed tasks, such as saving and modifying the report for specific users and send to schedule, you would need to play around with REST Urls to understand the workflow.
For starters take a look at the devleopers guide for REST here:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sbo41/en/sbo41_webi_restful_ws_en.pdf
Here is the doc which compares the availability of SDK APIs with different BI versions.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-53285
For any Enterprise level tasks, you could always use .NET or Java enterprise SDk and comibe it with your REST app.

401 Unauthorized Error When calling a SharePoint REST web service from SharePoint 2013 Workflow

We have our Workflow Manger installed on the same server as our SharePoint 2013 WFE development environment. When creating a SharePoint 2013 Workflow all Calls to a SharePoint 2013 REST web service results in a 401 Unauthorized error.
As an example I created a simple workflow that should return a JSON result. The REST Url returns the results in the browser without error.
Set Variable:webServiceUrl to https://<hostnamedsitecollection>/_vti_bin/client.svc/web/lists/getbytitle('ISR%20Approvers')/Items?$select=Title&$filter=Title%20eq%20%27General%27
then Build{...} Dictionary (Output to Variable:requestHeaders)
then Call [%Variable:webServiceUrl%] HTTP web service with request (ResponseContent to Variable:responseContent |ResponseHeaders to responseHeaders | ResponseStatusCode to Variable:responseCode)
The RequestHeader is set to the requestHeaders variable though the web service call properties
then Log Variable:responseCode to the workflow history list
After manually running the workflow in SharePoint on a list item in the ISR Approvers list it Logs "Unauthorized" in the Workflow History Log. It does this with every SharePoint REST web service call that I have tried through the workflow.
It doesn't have anything to do with the Workflow Manger being installed on the same machine as the SharePoint WFE does it?
Thank You for any insight

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had 401 Unauthorized Error when calling a SharePoint REST web service from SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
Please make sure you use the ‘Call HTTP Web Service’ correctly.
You can enter the URL into the brower to check whether it is correctly.
You need to
create the Request header requestHeaders
using a Dictionary:
Accept : application/json;odata=verbose
Content-Type : application/json;odata=verbose
To associate the
requestHeaders variable, select the Call action
property, set the RequestHeaders property to
requestHeaders.
Please refer to the following articles:
Working with Web Services in SharePoint 2013 Workflows using SharePoint Designer 2013

In addtion, you need to make sure you install the workflow manager correctly.

Logical and semantic layer design in four facts structure

Hi
My physical layer contains four fact table and several mutual dimensions.
The fact tables are not connected together.
My preference is to build four star schemes on one business model in the logical layer
and to provide one semantic layer with all four facts and mutual dimension.
Am I going throw a loops and data duplication adventure?
Is there any problem with this structure?
What is the best practice in this case?
The users should have the option to drag columns in all possible combination.
