Hello,
I have looked at the www.sap.com/LearnBI page, but from this I'm still unsure about what SAP BusinessObjects 4.1 applications are thick clients that need to be installed and those that can just be accessed via the web browser.
Can anyone out there list for me the browser based applications for SAP BusinessObjects 4.1, we are looking towards an upgrade from 3.1 to 4.1 and are in the early planning stages.
Thanks
Stuart
Hi Stuart,
Web Intelligence comes in three flavors,
1) HTML (Browser based)
2) Applet (Browser based)
3) Desktop (Rich client)
In my view, HTML is the best option for most of the consumers given that it is light and fast. Applet has more data source options and couple of features such as conditional formatting. Rich client (Desktop) provides offline capabilities and more data source options
Crystal reports
Both the versions of Crystal reports (Enterprise and Legacy) are desktop based applications. The viewer components haven't changed - Web, Java and ActiveX
Explorer - This is completely browser based application
Design Studio/Xcelsius - Desktop based applications
Lumira - Desktop based application
Analysis for OLAP - Browser based. Similar to BEx analyzer.
Analysis Office - Desktop, excel add-in
Regards
Mohan

Stuart,
If you have previous BusinessObjects experience then it should be very easy to follow, see some link below with details information. The tools still operate very similar.
Some key take away:
