Connecting to BO 4.1 using REST Api

[Former Member]

Hello .

I have a very novice question to ask. We have an SAP BO 4.1 repository which has some sample universes . We were wondering if there are some Restful Api's written by Sap for .net applications we can use to access these universes.

What we are interested in is extracting the meta-data from these universes.

Most of the resources we found from google searches have ended up with a page not found response as 4.1 has been depricated.

If you could point us to the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Allan,

Please refer the following guides of BI 4.1

1. SAP BusinessObjects BI Developer’s Guide for Web Intelligence and the BI Semantic Layer
2. SAP BusinessObjects RESTful Web Service SDK User Guide for Web Intelligence and the BI Semantic Laye...

And there are Semantic Layer Rest SDK samples provided in an archive file named "SLRESTWebService.zip" under the installation directory "<Install_dir>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\SL SDK\SDK Samples", in which you can find the junit project in that, refer those samples along with the above mentioned developer guides to understand the functionality.Hope this clarifies.Regards,Venkat
