I am developing an Java application using Netbeans which will fetch reports from the BI server on OBIEE 10G and display it to the client using the Java application. Can anyone suggest me appropriate steps to do this and also how to begin with it.
First of all, you will fetch the report from Presentation Services and not from BI server. BI server is a database with only SELECT statement whereas Presentation Service uses this SELECT to create and format reports.
To integrate report from BI Presentation service within a other application, you can use:
the web services: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/bi.1111/e16364/methods.htm#i1008939
or the GO Url: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/bi.1111/e16364/apiwebintegrate.htm#CACCHBHC
The links goes to the same documentation (Integrator's Guide). This is written for 11g but it will also works in 10g.
