Hello,
Is there is a SDK for the Import Wizard in BOXI Release 2?
If the answer is yes, where can I find the documentation?
Thanks

Tricky question - there HAS to be an SDK as Steve Nagoski (BO) has described it on his blog (http://xir2lcm.blogspot.com/) but as for documentation… Not a clue to be honest…

Hi,

I looked at the post: Document a universe using Designer SDK. I downloaded and xls sheet and I am using it and it is very good.

I am looking for some more information where in I would like to bring import window rather open for selection of a universe in a local system. With showing import window, the user has flexibility of importing of his own choice. I looked at the SDK and I am unable to figure out the correct function for the same.

Could you please help me out in the same. I would like to enhance little bit more by adding this feature.

Thanks,
Shyam.

There is a .Import method, but the parameters are mandatory … meaning you have to specify a specific universe, it doesn’t have the option to display a dialog like the .Open method. I think it would be possible to write your own dialog box, but there is no built-in functionality.

There is no SDK for Import wizard in Business Objects XIR2, I was also looking out for this to automate some activities

The docs of Business Objects XI R 3.0 and 3.1 mention of the SDK for import wizard, though I have not used it yet

We are also planning to automate Import Wizard for the report deployment/migration from environment to environment.I searched for docs but could not find any where.
Please help me in finding the docs or any idea/logic of doing this will be greatly appreciated.

I’ve only come across one method that allows migration of content from one deployment to another. It is the update() method in the IInfoObjects class. I stayed away from it, however, because I think it also migrates security (it’s been a while since I tried).
