Using Item Signatures in Oracle BI Web Services

Each object has its own signature. Signatures are used in conjunction with writing objects. You need to use the appropriate signature when writing objects. The signatures used by the various methods are provided in the method descriptions given in this guide.

The following example code writes a generic object to set the signatures.

If (signature == "queryitem1")
{
   ws.writeReport(o,name,true,true,session);
}
else if (signature == "dashboarditem1")
{
   ws.writeDashboard(o,name,true,true,session);
}
else if (signature == "dashboardpageitem1")
{
   ws.writeDashboardPage(o,name,true,true,session);
}
else if (signature == "globalfilteritem1")
{
   ws.writeDashboardPrompt(o,name,true,true,session);
}
else if (signature == "filteritem1")
{
   ws.writeSavedFilter(o,name,true,true,session);
}
else if (signature == "COXmlDocument1")
{
   ws.writeObject(o,name,true,true,session);
}
else
{
   ws.writeObject(o,name,true,true,session);
}
