is it possible to use Java API to get document details and formatting in 4.0 and 4.1 api

[Former Member]

Hi all,

     I am  trying to open document from report engine in BI 4.0 and BI 4.1 using Java API. its throwing communication exception as shown below

     com.businessobjects.rebean.wi.CommunicationException: Cannot initialize Report Engine server. (Error: RWI 00226)

Question :

    1.) We can use Java api for BI 4.0 and BI 4.1  or we must use Restful web service only??

     while using  Restful web services. i am able to login and get document details and properties but i am unable to use specification url ( {url}/raylight/v1/documents/" {document_id} "/reports/{report_id}/specification ). i am getting following error code while using this url

<error_code>RWS 00058</error_code>

Hi Lulu,

RESTful webservices are definitively the best choice.

Please could you try to activate the option "show error stack trace" in CMC to get more details?

Can you open the document properly in BILaunchPad?

Hi Lulu,

I haven't more knowledge about java API...

About "show error stack trace", you can see it through CMC > Servers > WACS (Web Application Container Server) > Properties. There is a checkbox there.

thanks anthony, i am looking for java API to opend report in BI 4.0 and 4.1

i found the issue while using "/specification" Accept header should be "text/xml"

Now its working fine.
