OBIEE Report XML Structure Part 1

Some time ago we did a project where we scripted the reports. The big problem is that the XML structure of the OBIEE reports isn’t very well documented. (At least we couldn’t find it, but if you have a good link please let me know!)

Base structure:

The most outer structure is are the {saw:reports} tags, together with the base structure you get something like:

The {saw:criteria} tag

The {saw:criteria} starts with the subjectArea subtag
The first inner tags are:

{saw:columns} Holding the columns information
{saw:filter} Holding the filter for the subject area
Next Time I will show the detailed columns and filter tags
