Hi,
I have published a WEBi block as web service that I am trying to consume as data source for universe in Infromation Design tool.
I am able to create a relation connection to published web service using Generic | Web Services (WSDL 1.1) | Web Services Connector.
In data foundation above connection does expose various "GetReportBlock_ ..." objects that I can add as table into my data foundation. Like,
None of these obejcts show structure as per structure of the WEBi table that was published as web service. Instead, it shows whole bunch of input variables, like,
Now, here I am not sure what value to provide to these variables, they all show up as mandatory. And if I add these as it is into businesslayer, create test quey on these objects, I get failed to refresh error.
My question is,
- Is it even possible to do what I am trying?
- Is this something to do with web services configuration / settings on my BI server?
Also, I am able to consume this web service in a new WEBi docuement (as a test) successfuly.
My server is BI 4.1 SP2 P2.
I have see some blog on the subject, wherein they show that IDT is able to consume a web service, but that is not coming from BI Platform and is external, http://scn.sap.com/community/semantic-layer/blog/2013/08/30/bi41-creating-a-universe-on-top-of-a-web-service
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you much !!
