Apache Tomcat or IIS. A question that is constantly discussed between the techies and the corporate purchasing people. IIS virtually free and runs on windows. Hmmm Windows. Good sell poor product when it comes down to stability, reliablity and security. But old Bill does a good job of...

subhshab's option could be automated with vba quite easily

subhshab's option could be automated with vba wuite easily

if worst comes to the worst you could do some vba behind the report to run the function on the dbase.

This a really long reply sorry folks JeffersonH I probably didn't make it all that clear from my messages but they were from experience from a much earlier version of the bespoke application that we use. We originally had a full client system not Zabo or WEBI that was driven by a web...

no the differences are more to do with the extra apostrophes that are being used. You have to make sure that your concatination is correct and that the object is defined as 'read as html' as well either in the universe or in the report (if FC report). You can put any html into an object or as...

Microstrategy is a more specialist tool that requires good knowledge from the users about how these things fit together. BO is designed as a user friendly end user tool that requires little or no knowledge of what's happening behind the reporting tool. You can get complete novices using it...

Just build the hyperlinks as objects in your universe! You could do them in the reports if they are FC reports but best and quicker in the end to do them in the universe. You could if you have enough control produce the hyperlinks in the Data itself, this is something that I have recently been...

Or get the person who runs the supervisor module to regularly clean out users inbox's.

Because WEBI is far to limited an application I would imagine. It was for us so we choose Full Client. We have a mix of application in the business anyway. The application that fits the task is one we use, we don't try and make something fit if there is the application there already. If V6...

Subhashab is right about the file permissions and has got the right idea to fix this. Although BOj says that 1.8 isn't supported it does work with the later versions of BOj. You need to set-up Business Objects on the server with a Shared setup because of the LSI file problem. Can't have two...

It very much depends on what product you intend on using. If the majority of your users are only going to be looking at the reports and you are on a WAN then some HTML based is going to be better. To be honest with the future developments that BOj are looking at doing you should probably think...

Funkmonsteruk, this is almost certainly the fact that Business Objects, although not showing the decimal places is still using them to calculate the total sum figure. It is a common 'feature'. Increase the number of decimal places showing in the Business Objects report and then copy and...

A Dash Board is just a customisable front end web page essentially. They generally have some company wide information on the front end, take company results or something like that and then the rest can generally be set by the end user. So they would have sales figures, wages, profit or targets...

Or rather than always going to the other very good site there are loads of posts on this one with the same information some repeated from the other site. The FAQ does tell you how to do it and that's here. Needs a bit of work to make it right for each circumstance but tells you everything you...
