To authenticate a SAP Business Objects by LaunchBI element instance you must configure a SAP Business Objects product with LaunchBI. When you authenticate, use the LaunchBI Inventory Key (Client ID), Client Secret, and Callback URL as the OAuth API Key (oauth.api.key), OAuth API Secret (oauth.api.secret), and Callback URL (oauth.callback.url).
If you've already configured a SAP Business Objects product and just need to know how to find your Inventory Key (Client ID) and Client Secret, see Locate Credentials for Authentication. If you need to configure a product, see Configure a LaunchBI Product.
