Possible to Call/Run WebReports Through WebServices?

Benjamin Shapiro

Hi all! Pardon me if this question is basic, but I can't seem to find the answer.

Is it possible to call or run a WebReport via WebServices? If so, is there a snippet available?

Many thanks!

Hi Ben,

You can make use of the runReport() function from the docman service. As input parameters, you simply provide the DataID of the report and an array of inputs for the report (if any exist).

There is a little code snippet posted at the link below from Hugh Ferguson:

Ben,

Is your WR executing a LR or what is the source.I can show you or you can search this for SOAP code that executes a LR.

Hi Ben,

I was a little surprised to find out that it doesn’t appear to be possible. I could’ve sworn the regular LiveReport call RunReport would do the trick, but I just tried out my test snippet and it fails complaining that it’s not a LiveReport node. When I peeked into the WR OSpace there’s no ServiceNode there so that would explain it.

Looks like your best bets are to programmatically call it either via request handler directly (i.e. http://yourserver.com/cs.exe?func=runreport&etc...), or probably easiest via CS REST API. Swagger docs for the 16.2 REST calls can be found here (you can use the breadcrumb trail to go back to prior versions if needed – getting basic output is available back to 10.5):

Hope that helps.
