While working for Business Object Java SDK 4.0 , we went through couple of business scenario where we did customization on BI Launchpad and perform schedule webi reporting. There is well known API which helps to set up desired prompts and their value to schedule the same. We have upgraded the BI from BI 4.0 to BI 4.1 and the customization we performed for setting prompt broke. BI 4.1 doesn’t support set prompt API anymore.
There is recommendation to use RESTFul API from Business Objects support team but using RESTFul API is good with others functionality except to deal with setting prompts.
We found a different approach to set prompt value back to report engine to run report on new prompt field values.
The following method helps to set prompts:
We have single value prompt, Multi value prompt and optional prompt to deal with.
Please find the attached sample code.
