Questions about instances using the Web Services API for BO Enterprise 12.1

28 Views

Using the Web Services SDK I've been able to list all the reports in our BO database, and I've also been able to create new scheduled instances of a report. What I want to do that I've not found out how to do yet are:

1. Get the details of existing instances of a report. I can see the correct number of instances (the Children property on the BusinessObjects.DSWS.BIPlatform.Desktop.Webi, but I don't know what qery string I need to use to get the instances themselves.

2. Get the BeginTime, EndTime, LastRunTime and NextRunTime for an instance. I've accessed the LastSuccessfulInstance (again from the Webi instance) and got that directly by doing a CUID query using the LastSuccessfulInstanceCUID property. But none of the dates are populated on this object - the LastRunTimeSpecified, etc. flags are all null and the LastRunTime, etc. are all 01/01/0001 00:00:00. How can I get this information populated into the Webi instance?
