Problem: How to invoke BI Publisher on click of a button using scripting in Siebel?
Solution:
Currently it is not possible to invoke Reports using BI Publisher though scripting.
When reports are generated from UI toolbar button, the XMLP Report Menu Service 's GetCombinedMenuItemList method which show the dropdown to select from. Once the report is selected then from the same BS, RunReportFromMenu method is called which is used to generate the Report or it will popup to select the type of output.
But when calling the same method through script it is asking for the Report Name. But there is no input arguments mentioned which takes the Report Name.
So it is not possible to generate Reports from scripting similar to Actuate Reports

From the script or the workflow as mentioned in " Siebel BI Publisher Reports Business Service (Doc ID 823360.1)", the output file generated is stored in BI Publisher Server file system folder.
