[. . . ] To publish reports with WebLogic or WebSphere, you must specify the Enterprise installation directory in the JVM command line. Use the value -Dbobj. enterprise. home=<BOE_installation>/bobje/ enterprise115 in your JVM command line, where <BOE_installation> is the Enterprise installation directory. · · · The contents of the Web Services provider WAR file must be extracted in order for BusinessObjects Enterprise to read the XSD files contained in the WAR file. Note that the WAR file is extracted by default to the Tomcat web application server. Web application servers that read the WAR file directly without extracting it, such as WebLogic, must manually extract the WAR file to a domain. 2 BusinessObjects Enterprise Platform Web Services SDK Release Notes BusinessObjects Enterprise Platform Web Services SDK Release Notes Supported environments 1 Supported environments · The BusinessObjects Enterprise Platform Web Services SDK was built and tested to work on Java Apache Axis 1. 1, . NET Framework 1. 1, and . NET Framework 2. 0. [. . . ] Always check for null values before you get or set an InfoObject property. You cannot copy or move InfoObjects from the SystemObjects or AppObjects table. CMS constraints will cause the methods BIPlatform. Copy and BIPlatform. Move to fail in this case. If you query for InfoObject properties defined outside of the InfoObject type's XSD schema, they will be contained in the CustomProperties property of the InfoObject's subclass. The CustomProperties collection contains five distinct types of properties: boolean, date, double, integer, and string. The InfoObject. SecurityInfo property does not return any inherited rights. Use the BIPlatform. CheckRights and BIPlatform. CheckLimits methods to check for both inherited and non-inherited rights on an InfoObject. As a best practice, use the BIPlatform. SetRights and BIPlatform. SetLimits methods to grant or deny rights on an InfoObject, instead of the InfoObject. SecurityInfo property. Because CMS folder names are translated for all languages, queries that use hard-coded paths fail on non-English Enterprise installations. For example, a query such as the following would fail to work on a Japanese CMS:path//InfoObjects/Root Folder/FolderA. Workaround: use CUID values for your query paths. For example, to write CMS language-independent code, use a query like this: cuid:// <root_folder_CUID>/FolderA. · · · · This release provides commonly used CUID and path constants for use in your query. The constants are in the com. businessobjects. dsws. biplatform. constants package for Java and in the BusinessObjects. DSWS. BIPlatform. Constants namespace for . NET. Naming conflicts happen when users with the same name are migrated from different systems to the same destination system. To avoid naming conflicts, set the CreateOptions. MatchingNameRename property to true. Doing this will rename a duplicate name to a similar name during migration. When working with the User and UserGroup classes, you must manually maintain the ProfileValues and PrincipalProfiles collections so that they contain the same ID values. · · 4 BusinessObjects Enterprise Platform Web Services SDK Release Notes BusinessObjects Enterprise Platform Web Services SDK Release Notes API additions 1 · To set the group ID of a BusinessCalendarDay object, you must manually maintain the Max property of the associated BusinessCalendarDays collection. When you first create a BusinessCalendarDays collection, set its Max property to 0. Each time you create a BusinessCalendarDay object for that collection, use (Max + 1) as its group ID value. Then, increment the Max property of the BusinessCalendarDays collection by 1. [. . . ] Note that in the context of the Web Services SDK, the CUID property should be used as the primary identifier. The InfoObject class has the Owner property. This read-only property is the SI_OWNER property of the InfoObject.
