BO Reporter (full client) sdk question

[oschmitt]

Hello everybody,

I am writing a tiny app using the Bo reporter (full client) sdk and I am having a hard time figuring out how to retrieve the appropriate handles/pointers to some bo sdk objects in a report.
My simple goal is to understand which data provider (and its columns) are displayed in the report, via intermediary DocumentVariables.
I already understand how to open the .rep file, list the available reports (and their structure), dataproviders (and their columns).
What seems to be missing is the link between the report (and its internal structures) to the data provider columns.
Have any of you tried to do this before?

My best guess at this point is that this link I am looking for is represented using the pivot information available in the full client gui in a "Pivot" tab.
But I couldn't see how to acces the pivot information in the sdk.
Is this feasible?

best regards,

Oliver

A bit more precisions on the question above,

From a 'Report' sdk object, it's fairly trivial to retrieve the 'SectionStructure' and 'ReportStructureItem' sdk objects.
What I don't understand is how to retrieve (possibly cast) the objects 'CellStructure' , 'BlockStructure' and 'Pivot' objects.

Does anybody with sufficient working knowledge of the sdk knows how to do this ?

At the end of the day, the question I am trying to answer is: which report is based on wich data provider and columns?

The reverse approach is also interesting: which dataprovider is source of data for which report of the current REP document?

Best regards,

Oliver
