I’d like to send out a special thank you to all of those who attended the Toronto BusinessObjects Customer Exchange yesterday.  The event wouldn’t have been a success without the support of all those who attended. I am hoping that everyone had a great learning experience!

For those who attended my presentation on dashboard essentials, you can download a copy of the presentation deck below

In this article I would like to state the importance of how useful it is to use a traffic monitoring tool such as Charles or Fiddler when debugging connection type errors.

In this example, we’ll go through a quick scenario on solving a crossdomain.xml related issue.

You will need to Install Charles on your machine and install the Charles addon for Firefox.

Below is a great article on planned SAP named changes for the Business Objects 4.0 release.

It looks like Xcelsius Enterprise will be changed to SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards.   In my opinion it’s still better than SAP Crystal Dashboard Design, as that name is Soooo long!

Bad thing is that the new change will add some more confusion.  Can’t we just keep the same name to make things easier?
Other than that, the only other major name change seems to be Voyager to Analysis.

It would be great if you can comment with your opinion of the constant name changes that keep happening.
