Inventory Report from Enterprise XI (Rel. 2) 1

[jedownsjr]

Does anyone know if there is any type of report inventory available as a new feature in Business Objects Enterprise XI (or XI Release 2)? We have heard of this but are not sure about it. It may be either part of the Enteprise XI software or it may be an add-on product from Business Objects - not sure.

What we are looking for is something that gives us an inventory list/report/datbase of the reports published in Enterprise XI, and hopefully also a list of the fields used within each report. I know the fields were only available before using the CR RDC, but from what we heard it may be available from Enterprise XI now.

The only method I'm aware of is the BOE SDK (.NET or Java). More specifically, you would need to use the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc component as it will give you more detail info than CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Desktop.Report will.

There are also some BOE server controls/components you can use in VS2005.
