Dear experts,
I have been searching extensively for the answer to the following question, but I have not find the solution yet. I hope you can help me out.
We have recently installed BO 4.0 and I would like to use the "Publish as Web Service" option that should be available for Webi.
Following the following post: [http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=159415|http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=159415] I published my Web Intelligence report to the repository and then right click on the block I want to publish as a Web Service.
The option "Publish as Web Service" is not visible to me, I am not sure if it is disabled, but I can not find it where it is supposed to be.
I thought it could be an authorization issue and searched for SAP notes, and I found:
1454714 - How to Enable/Disable the BI Services option within Webi Rich Client
1631276 - How to enable Show BI Services and Publish Block features for a user or a group in Web Intelligence Rich Client.
I checked with the BO Administrator and I have full access, we even checked the options mentioned in the referred notes but even after applying the authorization explicitly, the "Publish as Web Service" option is still not visible.
All my attempts are from my Web Intelligence Rich Client and we are on SP 2 Patch 5.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Could you provide a guide step by step to enable the "Publish as Web Service" option?
I really need to use this option and not the QaaWS directly because the Webi I have built is based on a Bex Query, in BO 4.0 I do not have a Universe in between, so the only way to generate the Web Service is by publishing the Webi block.
I hope I have provided sufficient details. Should you have further questions, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance!
