Oracle AI and Analytics

We have migrated OBIEE dashboards to Oracle Analytics Cloud and need to automate exporting an entire Classic dashboard page as PDF.
Our requirement is to:
Pass Business Date and Credit Support ID dynamically.
Export the complete dashboard page, including multiple analyses and conditional sections.
Invoke the export from Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) and deliver the PDF to SFTP.
We need to export the existing Classic dashboard page, rather than an individual analysis, DV workbook, or a separate BI Publisher report.
Testing so far:
The dashboard URL (/ui/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&...&Action=Print) opens successfully in an authenticated browser session.
In Postman and SoapUI, the request returns HTTP 302 with a Location header pointing to Oracle Identity /oauth2/v1/authorize.
Basic Authentication was configured, and we verified that the Authorization header was sent, but the response remains HTTP 302.
We have successfully exported an individual analysis as CSV using SOAP, but have not achieved the complete dashboard page PDF export.
Could you please clarify:
Is exporting an entire Classic dashboard page as PDF with dynamic prompt values supported through a documented SOAP or REST API?
If supported, what endpoint, request structure, and authentication method should be used for unattended execution from OIC?
Is the Action=Print URL supported for programmatic PDF retrieval, or is it intended only for browser-based printing?
If direct API export is unavailable, is there a supported Agent or scheduling approach that accepts dynamic prompt values and exports the complete dashboard page?
I found a community discussion about a planned PDF/PNG export API for DV dashboards. Our requirement is specifically for Classic dashboards, so clarification on the applicable supported approach would be helpful.

Hi @User_52FAF - I can’t find documented SOAP or REST API in OAC for exporting a classic dash page to PDF. The 302 you're getting I would say is expected. The saw.dll URLs sit behind SSO and are really just for the browser, so Basic Auth won't get you past the OAuth redirect.

The export REST API you spotted is live now, but it's only for DV workbook canvases, not classic.
Some other options/workarounds:

1. Agent - it'll send the full page as a .pdf, but prompts have to come from variable-driven defaults rather than values passed in at runtime. It also only delivers to email, not SFTP.
2. BIP - build the page from your existing analyses, pass business date & credit support ID as parameters, call it from OIC through the Publisher REST API with OAuth, and drop it straight onto SFTP. That one seems most feasible in your case.

Hope that helps 🙂
