SAP BI Platform RESTful Web Service SDK Demos

Hi everyone!

I am posting a few demos that have been developed by interns on the product management team.  The RESTful WS API is available on BI Platform 4.0 SP5 and greater.

Please follow the youTube video links to take a look:

C# Demo using Web Intelligence RESTful Web Service SDK

Meta Reports Demo using Web Intelligence RESTful Web Services SDK. Charts were generated by the CVOM Visualization Charting Engine.

For more information about implementing the REST SDK, please visit my other blog posts.  You can find them at the following links:

      Hi Brian,

      Can you help if know if using Restful API I can hide objects and/or update the labels/descriptions of the object in the UNX created using the IDT in BO4.1.

      Also some sample code would help me begin using the API.

      Appreciate you help.

      Thank you

      Hi Brian,

      I watched your demos and it was awesome, but when i try to access the REST url "http://" + server + "/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/" + reportId + "/reports/1/export/" then it is giving error "404".

      I just want to export SAP BI report data in below different scenario.

      1. SAP BI report with only few rows of data: This is working fine with url "http://" + server + "/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/" + reportId";"

      2. Bug when i export report data which has huge records then it is not working only header is coming.

      3. How to set parameter before report execution.

      Hi brian park

      Can you please provide me some youtube links or other links on,

      How to use SDK, where to write the code and how to integrate the code to webi.

      actually I want to export the report consisting sections to multiple tabs in single excel sheet. (section on department; 5 departments ) each department data should save in 5 different tabs in single excel.

      you can answer where does SDK reside for SAP BO to alter the functionality of exporting to tabs in excel

      Thanks,

      Santhosh.
