Alternative to deprecated functionality of RE in BOE 4.1

[Former Member]

I haven't got access to the Web Service endpoint of a BOE 4.1 server due to port blocking (I suppose). However I can use Report Engine through Java SDK but some functionality returns NotImplementedException since version 4.0 .

e.g. DocumentInstance#getDictionary()

My goal is automate Webi reports documentation. I would extract some info as used universe objects, variables and block names from the report.

I am not optimistic about having access to the web service endpoint so I want to know if there is any other Java API or way of getting the information I need.

Thanks,

Jonás

Unfortunately, there is no other way to get what you're looking for.  By default, the RESTful Web Service runs on port 6405, so there should be only one port that needs to be opened to access it.
