FYI This is from a knowledgeable BMC support tech that was answering questions that I sent him. Useful information to know about BMC Analytics:
Q. Can I use my BusinessObjects license to do web reporting on AR System forms? (Crystal Reports OEM for Remedy does not work on the web) A. BMC Analytics includes BusinessObjects Professional, which does NOT include Crystal Reports or Crystal Report Server. The customer needs to purchase an upgrade to BO Premium through SAP/Business Objects directly. It should be noted, that there is not automated conversion of Crystal reports into WebI reports or vice versa, so use of the BO Premium simply entitles the user to work with multiple BusinessObjects content types and other add-on applications. Q. What Business objects products am i licensed to use with the bmc analytics oem version of bo xi professional? A. BMC Analytics includes BusinessObjects Professional, which licenses the BO Infoview Portal with WebIntelligence as the single content type enabled and used by the BMC Analytics for BSM product. Use of the Desktop Intelligence, Infoview, and the Designer tool are enabled with the OEM license; however, BMC Analytics and all of its out-of-box reports are WebI-based content and therefore do not exploit or support the extended reporting capabilities available through Desktop Intelligence (client-based) UI. The Designer Tool enables power users/administractors to do customization and other universe management operations. The OEM BO Professional license does NOT include, entitle use of, or make use of the following Business Objects add-on products: Desktop Intelligence (content type), Crystal Reports, Crystal Report Server, BO Dashboards, BO Live Office, BO Voyager, or any other add-on products that are included in the BO Enterprise Premium solution suite. -Guillaume _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
