Calling the Pentaho BI API via Web Service

Pentaho BI supports external access through a Web service. The access method interacts with BI's Web service through post and receive response. For example, create a new dispatch task post to write as follows:

<jobScheduleRequest>
<jobName>JobName</jobName>
Geneva <simpleJobTrigger>
<uiPassParam>MINUTES</uiPassParam>, Geneva
<repeatInterval>1800</repeatInterval>
<repeatCount>-1</repeatCount>
<startTime>2014-08-14T11:46:00.000-04:00</startTime>
<endtime/>
</simpleJobTrigger>
<inputfile>/public/steel wheels/top Customers (report) .prpt</inputfile>
<outputFile>/public/output</outputFile>
<jobParameters>
<name>ParameterName</name>
<type>string</type>
<stringValue>false</stringValue>
</jobParameters>
</jobScheduleRequest>

Return to

Element: (Custom)
Media types:text/plain
