How to access Webi report outside BI Launchpad?

Hello All,

Can anyone please help me in providing any documentation on how to setup serialized session to bypass login authentication for Webi Reports.

Users will be accessing the reports using Document link. Right now our Business Objects authentication has (windows AD- Vintela Single sign on setup). Users that are already in the system can able to view the reports without entering the User ID and password, However its asking for external users.

So I would like to setup serialized session and would like to pass an Enterprise account to open specific documents using document link. I tried searching step by step by guide online, but no luck, that would be really nice if someone can provide me the detailed step by step in setting up OpenDocument Serialized session.

Our Current Environment:
BI 4.1 SP6 (JSP)
Windows 2008 R2 Standard Edition.

Thank you,
Boez

An easier way to do this might be to use the RESTful Web Services SDK. You would log in to REST and get the token. Then you would query for the specific report you want to show and get the OpenDocument URL for it. Then you can use the logon token in the OpenDocument URL to show the report.

You can find some sample code here: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?original_fqdn=wiki.sdn.sap.com&pageId=314933510
