Business Objects newbie question..!

[bobow]

Hi all, we're looking at business objects 5i reporting solution for our system. Wonder if some gurus can shed some light on the following...

1. We want to use BusinessObjects in Client/Server mode (Java client and Oracle 8 database as the server side). Can the output generated by BusinessObjects be plugged into the Java Swing client?

2. Does BusinessObject work on HP-Unix. The database is on HP Unix.

3. Multilingual functionalities. We need to create reports in eight different languages, all European character set. Will say the German version of BO support this?

4. What are the different formats does BusinessObject generate output in - XML, HTML, PDF, RTF etc...?

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated...!!!

Hello,

1. We want to use BusinessObjects in Client/Server mode (Java client and Oracle 8 database as the server side). Can the output generated by BusinessObjects be plugged into the Java Swing client?

You can install Business Objects on any Windows OS (95/98/NT or 2000) and still connect to your database on HP-Unix through Net8 and TCP/IP.
You can also install the clients on Unix (For sure on solaris 8, not sure on HP-Unix.)

3. Multilingual functionalities. We need to create reports in eight different languages, all European character set. Will say the German version of BO support this?
It should not be a problem.

4. What are the different formats does BusinessObject generate output in - XML, HTML, PDF, RTF etc...?
=> HMTL, PDF, RTF, TXT, CSV.
