Course Overview

This 5-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. In addition you will be taught how to configure and manage the servers in a BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment.

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 and who are responsible for setting up and maintaining a BusinessObjects Enterprise platform. Learners will benefit from more in depth exposure to the mechanics of a BusinessObjects Enterprise system and a careful review of the factors that can impact system performance. The course is structured to help System Architects/Administrators fine tune their deployment and get the most out of their system.

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, setting up and maintaining a BusinessObjects Enterprise platform and responsible for designing and deploying BusinessObjects Enterprise across their organization.
