Does anyone out there use Object Packages?

[bessebo]

I have never created an Object Package before and was wondering who out there uses these? Any examples of how they are used would be appreciated.

Yes, I use Object Packages and the APOS Report Package Booster to send multiple CSV, XLS or PDF attachments in a single e-mail from Business Objects XI (R2).

Simply put, an object package allows for a number of reports to be bundled and scheduled as one object, sharing parameter value settings and destinations.

That would probably be a cool thing especially if say, at month-end, you always send the same reports to a bunch of different sales reps. That way the whole package runs at the same time and sends out. I will have to look more into Object Packages.
