Scheduling a webi report in 4.1 SP5

[former_member204024]

Hi,

I want to schedule a webi report with prompts, event and notification in 4.1 SP5.

I tried RESTful SDK, I am unable to provide the event and notification to my schedule.

Whether REBEAN is supported to schedule a report in 4.1 SP5.

Kindly clarify and share the snippet if you have any.

Thanks.

There is no supported way to schedule webi with prompts using Report engine SDKs. Only webi reports without prompts can be scheduled using the Platform Java SDKs.

Setting notifications using Rest is not possible as of now. You can refer to below post where Dan has mentioned a workaround.

Hi Prithvi,

Thanks for your revert.  This is the workflow finally I decided to implement using java sdk.

First create the schedule using RESTful SDK.

Grab the SI_ID of the instance from the RESTful service output

Use the old SDK to fill in the notification and events to that si_id

Until the RESTful SDK matures I have to use this approach.

Still I have to look for workaround for calendar based scheduling.

Let me know your thoughts.

If you have Calendar objects created in CMS, you should be able to schedule it using the Rest api's.

I haven't tried it, however I see the calendar option available in Rest ful API guide.

Hi Prithvi,

I am surprised to see your screenprint.  I am referring to sbo41sp5_bip_rest_ws_en.pdf. But I couldn't find the above screenprint.  Can you please let me know the document that you are referring to.

Thanks.

You can schedule a webi document with prompt using Raylight (Webi RESTful API)
