Running extended reports

The SAP BusinessObjects BI launch pad generates performance and availability reports from BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring Extended Reporting. For a list of Web Intelligence reports that you can run with this component, see Extend-performance-reporting-and-analysis.

The following procedure discusses how to run the default reports in the SAP BusinessObjects BI launch pad. For information about how to create custom reports, see Creating-ad-hoc-reports-in-the-SAP-BusinessObjects-BI-launch-pad.
