Business Objects REST getting document and report information

106 Views Last edit Jan 09, 2023 at 12:15 PM 2 rev

I need to get the following information for our Custom Element (CE) given that I have the JSON instance information structure passed in to the CE visualization renderer and the user logon token. I have examined the REST API but cannot see a way to do it:

  1. The currently open document occurrence id
  2. The report id of the currently open report in the currently open document
  3. The document id of the currently open document

I can see that it is possible to obtain listings of these items but not getting to them directly.

If the REST API is not able to do this, is there another way? I need this information to be able to find the document and report directly. A listing of the reports and documents is not sufficient.

Cheers,

Chris Mugdan
