Consider evaluating the following APOS BI Tools to assist with system management
and monitoring challenges:
Object Manager - bulk maintenance of
objects (reports, folders, users, groups, etc.) - instead of using the Central Management
Console one object at a time.
RealTime Monitor - powerful alert
monitoring and control of all Business Objects servers, with SNMP support, using
your own business rules.
KPI - creates extracted metadata about virtually
all aspects of Business Objects system operational activity. This metadata is then
available for extensive reporting analysis.
RunTime Manager - Enable/disable Business
Objects system components as needed to meet operational peaks and valleys.
