White Paper: Business Objects Data Connectivity,
Query Performance, HIPAA Compliance - APOS IDAC

Download the White Paper

Business Objects data connectivity and query performance issues often have causes outside of your Business Objects deployment. Accountability for sensitive data, such as HIPAA, military, policing or financial records, likewise requires a broader view of data access within your organization.

As a Business Objects platform manager or administrator, how do you monitor and manage data connectivity proactively? How do know who is running which queries, where, and when? Can you cancel queries manually or automatically if they are interfering with you ability to deliver timely reports to your information consumers?

The APOS Intelligent Data Access Controller gives you these capabilities.

Data Connectivity - Query Performance Issues

Complex production reports can monopolize your resources and take a long time to run while blocking other equally important reports from running. Even a very good universe designer can't stop a user from choosing combinations that run very slowly and tax the system. In the best-designed and most highly optimized deployment, despite all your efforts to maintain optimal performance, there will be anomalies in your day-to-day operations.

HIPAA Compliance - Sensitive Data Auditing

If your organization handles sensitive data, such as HIPAA, military, policing or financial information, then that data will almost certainly find its way into your Business Objects queries. By law, you need to audit data access to sensitive data. You need to know who accessed what, and when they accessed it. In many cases, it is not enough to record this information: you have to monitor it proactively to comply with regulatory requirements.
