Which version are you using?

If your version is BI 4.x, then you would need to use the Restful web service SDKs for the above tasks as scheduling of webi reports with prompts is deprecated in BI 4.x java sdks.

Guides are available at

Navigate to Analytics-->SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform

Select the BO product version and navigate to Development Information.

You would need to refer to 'SAP BusinessObjects RESTful Web Service SDK User Guide for Web Intelligence and the BI Semantic Layer' guides.
