Need help automating Desktop Intelligence tool thru java

Hi Ted,

I need your expertise.

When I log in thru Client Desktop Intelligence tool

installed in my machine, I can import the report from other machine (BO XI

server u2013 report repository) and refresh the report, pass parameter/prompt

values, run the report and save the report in a network destination.

Iu2019m just wondering:1. if itu2019s possible to automate this process

thru java runtime?2. If BO XI offer this type of functionality or BO XI has an

API/java-SDK that can do/support that requirement? Since, scheduling to BO XI

server is not an option for our requirement. Thatu2019s why we are looking for pulling/import/mimic the report from BO XI report server to client server machine then run the

report from client server machine automatically thru java. Simply to say, we should

automate how Client Desktop Intelligence works. Currently, its working in visual basic 6 to BOXI but now planning to re-code to java but I cannot find any documentation even developer's library for this functionality. Im just wondering if VB6 can do it so Java should. Currently Im using the BusinessObjects Enterprise Java SDK and Report Engine Java SDK.

Please do advise, I would really appreciate your help/inputs

on this. Thank you so much.
