I have a custom application where I want to call Rest API's to Bitnami Server and integrate the report.
How to integrate reports created in Bitnami Report server through API into our Custom application

Hi raikakesh,
you could, as you are in your thread https://forum.reportserver.net/viewtopic.php?id=955, create the correct url from your application and just call the URLs from your application.
Best regards,
Eduardo

Can you point me to the API reference or any Java Docs or PDF's you have.. ?

Hello raikakesh,
linked with your issue at "https://forum.reportserver.net/viewtopic.php?id=955", as already noticed, you can execute reports via URL.
How to do this, you got the correct link : "https://reportserver.net/en/guides/admi … a-the-URL/"
I have noticed that in all of your execution urls you never used httpauthexport?id=reportID .
This is an option to execute reports without being logged in.
Further you could find answers here "https://forum.reportserver.net/viewtopic.php?id=953"
There was the problem of executing a report with a date parameter via URL. Not exact the same issue like yours, but there you can find for example an url-pattern.
The final url-pattern :
http://localhost/reportserver/reportserver/httpauthexport?id=ReportID&user=username&apikey=yourApiKey&p_key1=2017-09-26&format=HTML&download=false
--> p_key1 is the date-parameter. You can leave it out or insert own parameter
--> You can also leave some options out or add new and experiment
Be aware, that you should update your parameters.cf in ReportServer if you want to set up a date parameter.
You can also find the explanation in the link, here is the shortcut :
"You have to change the configuration file: datasources/parameter.cf , set your urlpattern ( <urlpattern>yyyy-MM-dd</urlpattern> ) and then "config reload" with your terminal"
If you still have problems, dont hesitate to contact us.
In case a report cant be executed by the url, please provide also the reportfile so that we can adjust the problem.
Best regards,

HI Rodion,
Have few questions related to "yourApiKey"
and datasources/parameter.cf location in Bitnami Community edition.
How to generate yourAPIKey?
where is the fie on local : datasources/parameter.cf
The final url-pattern you mentioned : Does that need SSO configuration OR will that work easily on Bitnami Community edition?
http://localhost/reportserver/reportserver/httpauthexport?id=ReportID&user=username&apikey=yourApiKey&p_key1=2017-09-26&format=HTML&download=false

Hi rairakesh,
the apikey is just a user property with the name "apikey" and your desired value. Check here for this: https://reportserver.net/en/guides/admi … a-the-URL/
"Define the API Key and Define Appropriate Permissions
To define an API key for a user go to the user management view and select the user in question. Then select the tab Use Properties and add a new property called apikey. As value, you can use any string (preferably a random string that is on the longish side).
The user does not require a password, or any unusual permissions. The only permissions required are the execute permission on those reports that you plan to embed. Suppose, that we have specified the apikey 79PKXGScP8r8 on a fresh user exportuser which has no permissions except the permission to execute report 5000. Then, when everything goes right, then
http://SERVER:PORT/reportserverbasedir/reportserver/httpauthexport?id=5000&user=exportuser&apikey=79PKXGScP8r8&format=HTML&download=false
should execute the report with id 5000 and user exportuser."
You can find the datasources/parameter.cf file in the internal file system. Check https://reportserver.net/en/guides/admi … le-System/ for this.
Here you can find information on this file:
https://reportserver.net/en/guides/conf … rametercf/
You can change the urlpattern to: <urlpattern>yyyy-MM-dd</urlpattern> , open your terminal by CTRL+ALT+T (https://reportserver.net/en/guides/admin/chapters/Terminal/ ) and then write "config reload" to load the new configuration. Alternatively, you can restart reportserver, for example by restarting your tomcat.
The final url-pattern should work with community edition.

Eduardo

Finally was able to test few reports on my local
http://localhost:8580/reportserver/reportserver/httpauthexport?id=3348&user=user&apikey=apikeyfortesting&format=HTML&download=false
and
http://localhost:8580/reportserver/reportserver/httpauthexport?id=3703&user=user&apikey=apikeyfortesting&format=HTML&download=false
API Key can be modified at : API Key > Administration > User Root > Administration > Last name / firstname :
The id can be obtained by selecting The Report (after executing the report, you can see the id)
IMP : One issue I faced thought after trying using API key, tried to login again http://localhost/reportserver/ , I enter my user name and password that I did before accessing though API Key but : I get Login attempt failed.
What might have caused the login to fail where as all above mentioned Reports are accessible through API Key even when I am not logged in.
Login scenario does not work at all.
Thanks
Rakesh

Hi Eduardo
Could you help us with the login fails after successful retrieval of reports using API key as stated above.
Thanks

Hi Rakesh,
if I understand correctly, you can not log in after opening a report using API Keys ? This is very strange. Are you completely sure you are using the correct password ? And, if you restart tomcat, are you being able to log in?

HI Eduardo,
I did everything as you suggested earlier. None of them worked. Only option left is to uninstall and reinstall Bitnami Community Edition again.
Thanks

Hi Rakesh,
what did I suggest? what do you mean? I only asked if after restarting tomcat you are still not being able to log-in. Is this not the case?

Can I Schedule Job from My Custom Application?
Offline
Hi Satish,
you can write a groovy script that schedules a job. Then, you can call this script from within your application by calling the script by URL. More information here: https://reportserver.net/en/guides/scri … rs/Basics/ :3.2. Executing Scripts via URL
