BPC 10 NW REST API

[athavanraja]

In the MS version we were able to use OSoft/App/XcelsiusService/QueryResults.asmx/ service to retrieve data from BPC. Been searching in vain for similar approach in  the new NW based BPC 10. I was browsing through the SICF and found some interesting services like epm_bpc/REST. Is there a API documentation available for this?

Thanks & Regards

Hey Raja. Yes, all communication from the client to the NW server is done through a REST API in BPC NW 10.0. This is really an internal API and really not released for customer use.  But of course, there is nothing stopping you from actually calling these services.  All of the class handlers for the REST interface are under the UJX package. You will notice the embedded package UJXO.  This is the package which has all of the class handlers for the Read/Write engine.  Also, for external data retrieve, you can leverage the SAP BW OLE DB provider and read against BPC cubes directly.  You must set the BPC model for "Use as external data source" from the administration client.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
