title	Step-by-step instructions

Define the request for this function, which includes logging in as the admin user and specifying the web service call to perform:

Code Block

language	java
theme	Confluence

AdministrationServiceRequest rsr = new AdministrationServiceRequest();
rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au");
rsr.setPassword("test");
rsr.setOrgId(new Integer(1));
