    Code Block
    languagejava
    ReportServiceRequest rsr = new ReportServiceRequest();
    
    rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au");
    rsr.setPassword("test");
    rsr.setOrgId(new Integer(1));
    
    rsr.setReportRequest("FORMATTEDRESULTSET");
  • Specify the report to get its formatted result set:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    rsr.setReportId(60712);



  • You may even specify the report client Reference ID:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    rsr.setReportClientReferenceId("1");
  • Once the request is configured, carry out the call:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    ReportServiceResponse rs=rsc.remoteReportCall(rsr);
