BOBJ BI4.2 User List and Group Extraction (via SPA)

I tried to use but ended with error:

Request failed with status code 404

I am able to ping the hosts server

What value do you provide in cms.local field ?

we have provide the IP only.

Can you test this in a browser:

http://<IP>:6405/biprws/

Does it work ?

If it’s not working do you know if your WACS service is up and serving on port http 6405 ?

Thanks !

How long should it take? I get the users list quickly, but just spinning for the groups. I see the Everyone group shows up, but still waiting for the others.

Hello,

How many users do you have ? Maybe I need to optimize the queries for getting the groups.
Thanks !

Only around 1,700 users

:thinking: that’s a pretty small count. Can you check if you have some network issue during the execution via the browser console ? Generally press F12 and you have a Network tab. You can spot issue also in the Console tab.

Thanks for your help !

I thinks it’s a issue with VPN possible blocking access. Don’t worry about it, is there. Way to stop it from waiting for user groups and just get the user ID’s? I can’t copy user when it is still trying to get the groups.

Hi Julien,

Did you get a chance to update it? I need to extract more than 5000+ users in an excel sheet.

Thanks

Hi Julien,

We are unable to connect to the tools and we use 26405 port and below url works fine. How can i update the url in the code to get the tool working. Please advise. Thank you in advance.

http://:26405/biprws/logon/long

Hi Julien,
We tried both FQN and IP Address but its throwing “Network Error”. Please let me know your thoughts.

Welcome @under18 !

Can you let me know what do you see in your browser devtools on the Network panel? Do your REST api is living on your hostname:6405/biprws/ ? YOu can check if this URL is giving you some result in the browser too!

@nukalapr
I need to change it to allow any url. Give me a day or two, I add that on my todolist!

Hi Julien,
sorry for the late reply.
I see below detail when i tested /biprws/ in browser

Note: I too tested couple of URL’s via Chrome Postman extension. GET/POST brings data from our REST API.

But your URL doesn’t work at all :frowning:

Please let me know your thoughts.

p.s. we tried your link in both office and home. but result is ‘Network Error’

regards,
Kiruba

Hello @nukalapr

I have changed a bit the way to connect to the app:

You have to define the full REST url now. Can you try again?

Hello @under18 can you try again with the new version?

Thanks!

Thank you very much Julien, it works like charm and very much apricated for your help.

Hi Julien,
Sorry to bother you again. We tried the latest URL as you suggested. But i still receving Network Error. See below pic.

When I tried RestAPI via Chrome Postman, it asked me to generate Token to post Users or User Groups list.

Is your code get Token automatically? What we are doing wrong?
Sad that it doesn’t work for us :frowning:

Thanks.

The app is generating a token based on user/password provided yes.

Can you share with me in PM the url of your resturl and the url that is failing in Browser Console?

Thanks!
