Automate WEBI Extract

[Former Member]

<p>We have setup a BOE (Premium) server for a client and now the client wants to obtain data from a supplier who is also using BOE (Professional). We would ideally like to move the data from the supplier&#39;s BOE server to our client&#39;s BOE server; however, the only access we have to the supplier&#39;s server is via WEBI/Infoview. The supplier won&#39;t allow direct database access or linked universes.</p><p>Is there a way to automatically extract WEBI reports into a text file? We have been able to do this manually but not in a batch/scheduled manner.</p><p>Thanks.</p><p>Mark</p>
