HelpSheet Generator for Business Objects (XI R2-R3 compatible)
Business Objects XI is an enterprise BI platform, providing plenty of services, hundreds of settings, complex reporting opportunities and many-many more. Of course the meta
data repository of such a complex tool will be a jungle for those not spending years with it. If you are using BO for more than just a few users, managing BO environments for complex databases, reporting from multiple datasources - you may already feel the need of analyzing BO's metadata like:
- What reports do we have?
- What data is used in the reports?
- What is "this" specific report about?
- How is the data accessed?
- What calculations are built on the data?
- What if I change this or that in the environment? Who and how will get impacted?
Starschema's HelpSheet Generator for Business Objects is not only a metadata manager tool, which can extract meta data into a more readable, understandable format, but can even write back the relevant data into the reports - either WebI or DeskI - by showing the information on automaticaly generated new report sheets. So the users of the reports will immediately know what their report do, what data it accesses, who created, who owns the report, and many other usefull information.
It contains:
- A Java client tool to extract metadata from CMS and to generate HelpSheet-s for WebI reports
- An excel interface to collect manual data for reports (you can add information not available in CMS, like BusinessOwner,Validity, etc)
- A repository schema to store extracted and manual report information.
