Environment

• 360Eyes
• SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1
• SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 4.0
• SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 4.1
• SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 4.2
  
• SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 4.3

Cause

360Eyes WEBI jobs on versions more recent than 2021.1 use the RESTful SDK stack by default.

Resolution

As a result, the following must be checked:

• Is the WACS (Web Application Container Service) running AND active on the BI4 system (mandatory for RESTful SDK)?
• Check the WACS HTTP port (in Services > WACS > Properties > HTTP Configuration). The default port is: 6405 (http://<BO_server>:6405/biprws)
• Was the RESFUL Web Service installed at BOE platform deployment time?
• Is the URL set in CMC > Applications > RESTFUL Web Services valid? Does it return any XML flow?

If all of the above look good and properly configured (regarding WACS and set URL), please contact the GB&SMITH support for more in-depth troubleshooting.
