Rest API Report Run Now

[former_member1187547]

Is it possible in SAP BO to start a report via the Rest API? The current action which I'm doing manually is to go into the CMC then to the instance manager, then right click on the report and start the "Run now" action.

The Rest API Call should perform the same operation. In the API documentation I could only find such tasks as to create the report or to generate a new one but not how to start a report generation by a given instance.

Sure, you can re-schedule a completed instance in the same way as scheduling a base report. The documentation is here. Basically you will GET /biprws/infostore/<<existing instance ID>>/scheduleForms/now. This will return an XML block into which you can add scheduling parameters. To do a Run Now, you can just POST the XML back to the same URL.
