System Management and Monitoring

bulk object maintenance – security, report/folder/user settings, user preferences, post migration maintenance

alerts - monitoring and notification based on business rule thresholds, realtime monitoring of system processes

auditing extensions -

• comprehensive metadata of XI activity and load levels

• extracted system structure metadata – security, users, universe structure, Deski/CR report structure

• security audit, compliance checking, change impact analysis, post migration audit

control availability time window on all XI components, enable/disable specific system components during specific time slots

Consider evaluating the following APOS BI Tools to assist with system management and monitoring challenges:

Object Manager - bulk maintenance of objects (reports, folders, users, groups, etc.) - instead of using the Central Management Console one object at a time.

RealTime Monitor - powerful alert monitoring and control of all Business Objects servers, with SNMP support, using your own business rules.

KPI - creates extracted metadata about virtually all aspects of Business Objects system operational activity. This metadata is then available for extensive reporting analysis.

RunTime Manager - Enable/disable Business Objects system components as needed to meet operational peaks and valleys.
