Business Objects is in the process of being upgraded to a newer version (From version "XI" to "BI4"). The upgrade will be done application by application. Until the upgrade is fully completed this wiki will host information for both versions.
BO Introduction
Business objects are consolidated reports compiled by backend engines which are able to publish trends and results for user's quick analysis.
Getting a BO account
To request an account creation, modification of deletion on Business Objects, you need to fill the online form :
Two guides can help you :
- I need to request a BO access : * ow to complete the BO Online application form*
- IS is asking me to validate a BO application request : * ow to understand the BO application for validation*
You can find a list and description of the available applications below.
When completed, you will receive a copy of the request.
Note that the modifications are subject to approval by the Authorisation Contact. IS will request validation depending on the parameters and applications requested.
If you have any questions about the online form, or you want to modify a request you already sent, please contact directly the APPLICATIONS HELPDESK.
