BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R1/R2: Adminstering Users and Content with the CMC - SA210R2 - 2 day(s)

Duration: 2 Days

Audience: The target audience for this course is System Architects/Administrators who are new to BusinessObjects Enterprise and will be responsible for maintaining BusinessObjects Enterprise users, groups, and objects in their organization.

Prerequisites: While not required for this course, experience with these products or technologies will be helpful:

•Windows conventions

•Familiarity with Windows NT/2000 and NT administration

•NT enterprise security concepts (global/local groups, and directory structure)

Synopsis: This 2-day instructor-led course explains how to perform the tasks in the Central Management Console (CMC). These tasks involve supporting BusinessObjects Enterprise users and groups so they can access corporate data through BusinessObjects Enterprise's web portal. This corporate data can take the form of Crystal Reports, Web Intelligence or Desktop Intelligence documents, OLAP Intelligence reports, program objects, object packages, and popular 3rd party objects such as Microsoft Word and Excel files, among others. Please note, this course does not discuss maintaining BusinessObjects Enterprise servers, which is taught in the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R1/R2: Administering Servers – Windows course.

The business benefit of this course is that it provides a foundation for System Architects/Administrators to effectively manage both users and content on the BusinessObjects Enterprise platform.

BusinessObjects XI R1 and BusinessObjects XI R2
Both BusinessObjects XI R1 and R2 users may attend this course. BusinessObjects XI R1 users will notice some sections throughout the course that do not apply to their deployments, as a result of new BusinessObjects XI R2 functionality. In particular:

•Desktop Intelligence documents as a new object type.

•The addition of Desktop Intelligence servers to the platform.

•New default applications appearing in the CMC.

•Publications as a new object type to support multi-pass report bursting for Desktop Intelligence documents.

•Profiles as a new method to secure and distribute Desktop Intelligence documents using Publications.
