SAP BI retrieving PDF from Web Service

SAP HANA SAP SAP Basis

In SAP BI, I am using BI 3.x API to generate reports. We are in process of migrating to 4.x and I thought it would be good if I use open doc URL instead of using API.

https://server:port/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?token=[LogonToken]&iDocID=[XXXX]&sIDType=CUID

These URL’s provide HTML page as response from BI 4.x Web Service. I want to retrieve PDF report as response from BI Web Service?

Try using REST SDK to retrieve document and convert it in to PDF. Follow below steps:

Logon: POST /biprws/logon/long
Get the doc's prompts (if any) GET /biprws/raylight/v1/documents/5690743/parameters
Pass the correct values for the prompts (if any) and refresh the document: PUT /biprws/raylight/v1/documents/5690743/parameters
Export as PDF GET /biprws/raylight/v1/documents/5690743

In end you need to pass Accept: application/pdf in HTTP header to get PDF version.
