Cannot Save Webi Report After Changing Dataprovider using RESTful Web Services

[Former Member]

I want this to run via Java script eventually but I see the same error just trying out the steps with an http client. My target document (SI_ID 41960) has a single data provider accessing unv universe with SI_ID 41939. I want to point it to a unx copy of this universe with SI_ID 41943. I'm using BI 4.1 SP03.

I can retrieve the default mappings:

and repoint to the unx universe successfully

If I log off now though, I am left with a new Webi doc in ~WebIntelligence in my Favourites folder, correctly mapped to the new unx universe, which could be incredibly useful in some circumstances. Ultimately though I want to update the original and it has been suggested that I just need to save the Webi document. If I try this though I just get an internal error (the body of my PUT command below is empty).

How can I arrive at having just the original document, correctly remapped to my unx universe?

Thanks

Mike

Hello Mike,

Please, could you enable the "show error stacktrace" in the CMC (go to Servers > WACS > Properties) and copy the error?

Which version are you using?

Anthony

Hi Anthony, I'm using BI 4.1 SP03.

Hello,

I'm going to get more information from a colleague about:

"The document's serialization version is too recent (Error: WIS 30915)"

Don't you perform any manual patches on the server?

Best regards,

Anthony

Hi,

The server is used by a few of us and having just checked I see it's actually been patched to SP4 by a colleague. I'm sure I created the objects I'm using under SP3. I'll try with a new report created in SP4 and see if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Mike

Thanks for clarification Mike,

It seems this error came when you try to open a recent document (SP4) from an older build (SP3)... And this is not possible: SP3 server cannot open document created in SP4.

Best regards,

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

I think I have a bigger problem actually. If I log on to BI Launchpad on my server right now and create the simplest Webi report against efashion I can't save it - I get "The document's serialization version is too recent (Error: WIS 30915)"

Looks like something went wrong with the patch to SP4. Let me make some enquiries this end.

Thanks

Hi again,

OK, having tried again on a different. known to be sound, server I'm getting much better results. The RESTful command to save works and the remapping occurs in my original report.

As a final comment then, going back to where I started, there would appear to be an error in the original post 'Changing Dataproviders for a Webi Report using RESTful Web Services'. In the section Commit Changes the default mappings to the new unx universe are posted back via the command

http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/12345/dataproviders/mappings?originDataproviderId...

There is then the statement:

There is no need to explicitly save the webi report as calling the POST statement in step 6 also saves the modified report.

Not quite true. Without an explicit save you get a remapped report in your ~WebIntelligence folder in your favourites. With an explicit save the remapping occurs in the original.

Perhaps worth updating 'Changing Dataproviders for a Webi Report using RESTful Web Services' to avoid confusion?

Anyway, thanks Anthony for your help on this. Now I just need to work out how to put a Java GUI around it to allow remapping in bulk!

Many thanks

Mike
