New Features in BO XI R2

New Features in BO XI R2

It's been few months since Business Objects XIr2 has hit the market. Unfortunately I still haven't got a chance to play my hands on it. Today I was reading about some of the new features provided in XIr2 and I was happy to learn about two new features that were most wanted by almost all the users I have dealt with.

1) To be able to email the reports while scheduling using Broadcast Agent- In previous versions of Business Objects we needed to write some macros and do some tweaks at the server to achieve this. But in XIr2, this feature is built-in to the product.

2) To be able to schedule based on a business calendar- This is very common and very realistic from the user's point of view as the business calendar varies from each company and scheduling goes useless without this feature many-a-times.Business Objects is in the market for almost 10 years but they weren't able to put these features all this time. Thanks to Crystal reports who was bought by Business Objects and brought these nice features into Business Objects products too.
