Is it possible to schedule a Analysis Workbook with parameter (prompts) using REST webservice

[Former Member]

We need to schedule lots of Analysis Workbooks using SAP BusinessObjects RESTful Web Service SDK. While there is the possibility to do so, nowhere in the documentation is mentioned how to set the parameters (prompts) used within the Workbook.

Steps taken so far:

* Retrieve scheduling info using "...infostore/[documentID]/scheduleForms/once"

* Using response of the above call to post to "...infostore/[documentID]/scheduleForms/once"

So my question is - where to put the information about the parameter/prompts?

Should I use a different method to schedule?

Did you manage to make this work? I am looking at using the BI REST API in order to run AO broadcasts from our third party batch scheduling solution.

I'm aware that there are 3rd Party Tools that will eventually work. But since we use the SDK for scheduling of WEBI reports we would like to use that with the Analysis Workbooks also.

"Easy" answer is to look at APOS third party add-on for Analysis Office - see http://www.apos.com/content/sap-businessobjects-analysis-for-office-scheduling - it looks like it may address what you want to achieve.
