In the BI4.2 SP03 installation that I just set up, it included 8.1.015.

Also, if you’re using the ReportEngine SDK in 3.1, you’ll need to be aware that much of it has been deprecated in 4.x. Instead, you’ll need to use the RESTful Web Services Platform and Webi SDKs to get things like parameter information for a report.

Hi,

Thank you for your answers.

So I get into restful. But same question : which jdk version I must use to develop java program with restful?

And is it possible to deploy java program object on bi platform 4.2 SP3, that use restful service? I would like to do this way to schedule this java program object like any other object.

Regards.

REST is platform-independent. You just need to use a language that either supports REST natively, or in which you can write your own low-level HTTP routines.

Yes, you can certainly create a Java program object that uses REST.

Note that you really only need to use the REST API if your program does any report manipulation (formerly done with REBean). Otherwise, you can continue to use the Java SDK.
