[RESOLVED]Configure BI Object in iSM
Hi,

I'm quite new to iSM. I'm trying to use a BI object so a webfocus report .fex can be call to run in iSM pflow.

In order to configure this BI object, I need to know the URL to the webfocus server. I've tried putting all the port numbers that I'm aware of, but none worked. Is there a config file that I can find out the port number to the reporting server?

Or maybe that in order to have BI object working, I need to turn something on in my webfocus reporting server? Similar to the setup as using the ETL object. I already have changed the .bat to .fex on edaexec.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I just tried it and you need just the host and port of the application server for the web focus web application. For me it was http://localhost:8080

I had to enable the web focus web services license for this to work. I don't know if this is by design, but I do not remember reading anywhere that web service had to be enabled for this feature to work.

I don't have the webfocus web services license. Hm..I didn't see anywhere in the iSM documentation that web service had to be enabled.

Thanks dhagen!
