BO-BI 4.x .NET Platform SDK with Microsoft Visual Studio - 2012

[former_member183781]

SAP Business Objects released a "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio - 2012" in January 2013.

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-35074

What is the timeline for SAP confiming the BO-BI 4.x .NET Platform SDK and Managed RAS SDK for use with Microsoft Visual Studio - 2012 ...?

Also, a little surprised that the "SAP BUSINESSOBJECTS BI 4.X - DEVELOPER SDK LIBRARY" does NOT contain SAP-generated sample applications like earlier SDK Libraries did.

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-27465

It is always good to have "out of the box" samples to compare to .NET applications that are having platform issues, or to provide to people as "Best Practices".

I may not be able shed light on support-ability of  VS2012 however when it comes to sample codes most of the APIs for RAS or BOE .NET SDK remains same (almost all).

I could figure out some of the samples for BI 4.0 here

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/706de3ab-8186-2b10-15aa-e4c5e73283f1

Some of the code related to RESTful can be found here.

Hope it helps!!!

Thanks for the feedback. Just surprised that as a vendor, SAP BusinessObjects does not UPDATE their samples as a part of their regular product launches for each version.

I find your suggestion good.

Can you please post it at Idea Place, SAP might think of adding or reviving the existing ones?

Update the thread with the link to Idea I can help you with my vote.

Here is one similar Idea posted by Dell:

Dear Mark,

We have a client intranet portal and we want put all the BO 4.0 webi reports in their portal and view the content over there and do some customization by providing the additional information like below

1. Information like the owner of report.

2. When the report was last accessed?

3. When the user last login to BO?

Is it possible to achieve using .NET SDK? Any additional software needs to installed?

Regards,

Srikanth

My understanding is that .NET SDK for WebI (Interactive Viewer) is available in the JAVA SDK for WebI...but the three questions you ask would be available to you via the PLATFORM SDKs in either Java or .NET

Dear Mark,

Is it feasible to use Java SDK inside .Net SDK for viewing WebI document?

Do we need to deploy both  .NET SDK and Java SDK?

Regards,

Srikanth

Srikanth,

if u want to display Webi Document using .NET, OpenDoc is the only the option u have available. U can very well use Enterprise SDK or opt for RESTful APIs.

Hope it helps.
