Hello Experts,

May I request any step by step document, video URL for generating BI publisher report using REST API data source?

REST API data source and webservice based data source for BIP is same thing or 2 different stuffs in BIP?

Version: OAS 5.5

Thanks,

    If I'm not wrong the 2 sources are the 2 main common kinds of web services: one works based on a WSDL (the web service source), the REST one is for REST web services directly. Both speak XML (so if you have a JSON web service it will not really work I believe).

    Nothing that cross my mind. Did you check the various documentation "books" on the Oracle site? There are developer guides etc., one maybe cover the various sources a bit more in detail than just naming them.
