BusinessObjects Enterprise - Administering Users and Content with the CMC
The target audience for this course is system architects/administrators who are new to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise and will be responsible for maintaining SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise users, groups, and objects in their organization.
Transforming data into actionable information
- This 10 to14-hour E-Learning course explains how to perform the tasks in the central management console (CMC).
- These tasks involve supporting SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise users and groups so they can access corporate data through SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise's Web portal.
- This corporate data can take the form of Crystal Reports, SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence, or SAP Desktop Intelligence documents, OLAP intelligence reports, program objects, object packages, and popular third party objects such as Microsoft Word and Excel files, among others.
Please note: This course does not discuss maintaining SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise servers, which is taught in the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R1/R2: Administering Servers - Windows course.
