In BCA you should be able to provide default values for prompts. As for the dates you should change the reports to make them dynamic, i.e. sysdate, sysdate + 1, etc

You see a list box, but you there should be a text box above it for you to type in a FREE value. You cannot change SQL manually in WebI 6.5.

You can create two universes independently and have same object names (say in different classes) and Reporter will pick up the objects. If you have two objects within a universe with the same name but different classes then BO will display an error message. It would seem that when you switch...

Could it be one Page Server Process for Crystal XI and another for BusinessObjects Webi XI?

Don't use OLAP but I think you have to use the Oracle OLAP metadata bridge for BusinessObjects WebI to access Oracle OLAP cubes. Maybe Crystal XI has some other way of accessing Oracle OLAP?

A report instance is a pre-run report of a report definition. You do not run an instance again, so running it once or many times during Period 1 should give the same results, but then running it in Period 2 would give different results. Will the timestamps not indicate which period the report...
