    Auto Refresh Problem

    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

    Dilema when having to change universe for a given report... any help?

    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...

    Find Max date item in subgroup of data

    You have to have a sub query that returns the Max Date per DIRY_EVNT and DIRY_NAR rather than the Max Date overall. 1 - You should be able to put this in the complex join, or 2 - How about a view or derived table that you can use as a bridging table, e.g. View would be something like...

    How do I create a filter for today or future dates?

    You can create a report level variable and then apply a filter on the variable. e.g. =If([Month (YYYYMM)]>200410;1;0) I've done a simple IF to look at the month, if greater 200410 then this variable is 1 else 0. I then filtered the report looking for 1's.

    Aggregate Issue

    If ID column is the one you use to join the master table to the fact tables then there should not be a problem as it is conformant to both. It is probably worth converting the Col B NULL value to something like No Value, a meaningful number, etc so Drill Down will work, etc. When data is...

    Extra Index Key Required

    How about concatenating FROM and TO together, eg: FROM ||'----'|| TO 'London Heathrow' ||'----'|| 'Paris CDG' or 'Paris CDG' ||'----'|| 'London Heathrow' You can then look for: Destination Matches Pattern '%London Heathrow%' Any quicker?

    Bug or Feature of CE

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

    Business drivers to move to XI from CE10

    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?

    Moving Only Report Instance from One folder to another

    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...

    BOXI : BO Universe Importing

    I would assume the Import Wizard does not do anything special to the universe, otherwise BusinessObjects would have suggested that using the Import Wizard was the ONLY way to migrate in order to have a supported environment.

    BOExi + data integrator

    Isn't a JAR file similar to a ZIP file? So have you tried installing the contents of the JAR file because it seems the message is suggesting that you are executing a JAR file? Hope that helps.

    Repository objects - questions from newbie in repository

    If you store in CE Repository then you can schedule reports to get the latest versions of Repository Objects when run. So if you make a change to an object and a report has this option set then on the next run it will pick up the latest definition. Using VSS you would have to make manual...

    Create an element in parameter dropdown for all values

    BO gives you a default of 'All Object Name values' as a default option on a drill filter. Most users are usually ok with that option.

    Four different data attributes for a dimension

    Basically, the date key will then be joined to the four keys in the fact table, but in each case you will alias the Time Dimension (day level), and Time Dimension (month level). You would then have associated columns being returned from the aliased Time dimension tables, and in your SQL you...

    Decode Function

    You could remove the datebase SUM() in the object sumofactuals and use the Aggregation property of BO to do the summing. This would mean more rows returned by the database, but does allow you to get teh above to work.
