This topic provides recommendations for configuring SAP BusinessObjects:

  • Use correct aggregation level when you create reports. For example, in monthly reports, use daily objects, and in daily reports, use hourly objects.
  • Split larger reports into smaller by adding filters. For example, one report for 500 devices can be broken into 5 reports of 100 devices.
  • Schedule report refresh after 6:30 A.M., which gets latest data in the reports after successful completion of the summarization job.
  • Use JDBC connection to avoid Oracle client and version-related issues.

SAP BusinessObjects on Solaris

  • All Solaris operating system patches must be installed as per the SAP BusinessObjects documents.
  • Root user cannot perform SAP BusinessObjects installation. Create another user and use it for the installation. Ensure that the new user has all the permissions to access the directory you plan to install SAP BusinessObjects.
  • To establish database connection as well as export and import of universe, SAP BusinessObjects does not have a tool or utility for Solaris operating system. Use another Windows computer that has SAP BusinessObjects installed.

    Note

    SAP BusinessObjects installer does not have any GUI. It has a menu-based interface (text-based).
