This is a sample created using the Semantic SDK for SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform 4.1 It demonstrates how to create a new connection from scratch and then publish it to Enterprise. The sample will create a file SDKTestRelationalConn.cnx in the folder C:\temp and then publish it to Enterprise.
Notes:
- It is not possible to modify a published connection directly. It must first be saved locally, at which point you can edit it, and then re-publish it.
- If you get the error "Could not find driver for MS SQL Server 2008\OLE DB Providers" or similar, it is because you are missing the java parameter:
-Dbusinessobjects.connectivity.directory="C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\dataAccess\connectionServer" - The necessary jar files are all referenced from the jar file sl_sdk.jar which is located in the folder C:\Program Files (X86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\SL SDK\java. The sl_sdk.jar file does not actually contain the SDK - it merely contains relative paths to all the necessary jar files.
