14.2.3.1 getAPIVersion
The getAPIVersion() operation returns the version details of the Reports Server in
XML format. This operation takes no parameters.
Note: getAPIVersion is the only operation that returns the
entire SOAP response along with the result (in a string). The other
operations, e.g., runJob return the response as an XML block
embedded within the SOAP response.
To view the getAPIVersion response:
1. Click the getAPIVersion link. The Test page should display no parameters and
include only a Invoke button to submit the request.
2. Click Invoke. The SOAP response is displayed in a new window.
The following is a sample response of a getAPIVersion operation:

14.2.3.2 getServerInfo
The getServerInfo(String serverName, String authId)operation takes
two parameters and returns the Reports Server information in an XML format.
The valid parameters are :
■ serverName: A valid non-null server name. This operation returns an error if the
specified server is not running in the network.
■ authId: A string in the form of username/password, must be specified for a
secured server. This parameter is ignored for a non-secure server.
To view the getServerInfo response:
1. Click the getServerInfo link. The Test page should display the relevant
parameter fields and an Invoke button to submit the request.
2. Enter the Reports Server name (param0) and authid(param1).
3. Click Invoke. The SOAP response is displayed in a new window.
The following is a sample output of the getServerInfo operation:
