Can we send REST messages to BIP/OAS without %2F separating folders?

Question

Hi,

We would like to send REST messages to OAS that do not contain the %2F characters in place of "/" characters for the report path.

This Works - after the v1/reports/ endpoint we must use %2F in place of / characters to define the Shared Folders subfolder path

https://xxx.ocs.oc-test.com/customer-test/bip/xmlpserver/services/rest/v1/reports/MyFolder%2FMy+Report.xdo/run

This Does Not Work - we would like to NOT use the %2F values so that we can configure our AWS API tool security

https://xxx.ocs.oc-test.com/customer-test/bip/xmlpserver/services/rest/v1/reports/MyFolder/My+Report.xdo/run

Our use case is we will have a few boundary systems that need to run BIP reports as APIs. We want to control what reports each service account has access to. Our boundary systems do not access the BIP endpoints directly, rather security is controlled within an API Gateway.  For example, user 1 will have access to reports in the "MyFolder", and user 2 will have access to reports in the "OtherFolder". Our API Gateway does not allow us to configure variables/rules containing the %2F characters. We can workaround our issue by leveraging custom code instead of configuration but prefer to avoid that and reconfigure BIP if possible.

Thanks,

Jeramie

Hi Gianni,

Thank you for your response.  I agree that Oracle is unlikely to change anything.  I was more wondering if there was a server setting to change this behavior.  I'm working on our SaaS and BIP side, not our Integration and API Gateway side.  I'll forward your recommendation and reasoning to them.

Thanks again,

Jeramie
