Object Manager Premium

Administrator power tool - new levels of object control and management.

Object Manager - Administrator power tool

Now includes Promotion Server, a new additional set of features, available as Object Manager Premium.

• adds structure and control to the sometimes daunting task of Report Promotion.

• allows the process of Report Promotion to be compartmentalized by distributing the Client UI to appropriate departments

• each department can handle its own promotion packages

• Promotion Packages can be scheduled to run during change-window times without the need for an operator to be present

• creation and scheduling of Promotion Packages is controlled by BOE security

  • only users that belong to a special BOE user group are allowed to create and/or schedule Promotion Packages
  • users can only set folders/objects as Targets in the destination system if they have read access to them
  • users do not need edit rights on the target system (accept within the promotion server repository)

• Promotion Packages can use a BOE system or a Network File location as the source for the promotion objects

• objects in Promotion Packages can be configured to be promoted to multiple Targets in the destination system. Many objects properties can be configured, including Database Logon values, Default Parameter values, Report Format, Instance Limits, Custom Properties, Processing Extensions, and post-promotion Repository Refresh

• Promotion Packages can contain Web Intelligence reports, Desktop Intelligence reports, Crystal reports, and Office documents

• results of running a Promotion Package are recorded in a log file for verification

• all replaced report objects will be backed up, along with information about their object properties and recurring instances

• the promoted report that over-writes the existing object will inherit these settings and recurring instances (accept for new settings set in the package)

• the system administrator is able to revert packages in case of error

  • original target reports will be fully restored in this case, and all recurring schedules will be recreated
  • reversion of Promotion Packages can be scheduled
