Summary

You are currently setting up your initial BO connection, but the connection fails when you press "Connect" in the Performer Suite.

Our BO setup guide, which we recommend, is only as good as your CMC is maintained by your BO administrator.
This means, that there are possibilities that your connection to your BO fails, even if your configuration in the Performer Suite matches the settings from your CMC.

Unexpected behavior

There can be various error messages.

Cause

The information in your CMC are only free text fields that must be correctly maintained by your BO administrator.

Quick-Win Solution

This solution assumes that the RESTful Web Service is also running on the web application server where your BOE application is running.
(which is the case with a default installation > 4.2 SP5).

To get a working URL, just take the URL used in your browser to open your BI Launchpad or CMC.
Then take only protocol, server, and port (if specified).

Truncate everything after that.
This results in e.g. https://10.118.169.25:8080

Then use this and add the paths accordingly:

/biprws
/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp
/dswsbobje
