Introducing the BusinessObjects BI Platform Adapter
Prerequisites
The BOBIP Adapter also provides event triggers that allow users to be notified via email (or other alerting mechanism)
when new content (report or Web Intelligence data) is available. Output can be attached, or for greater security, can
include a hyperlink to the BOBIP document on the server requiring that users log on before opening the document. The
BOBIP Adapter is event-based. It launches processes based on defined calendars and schedules and uses asynchronous
callbacks for monitoring, enabling users to see status changes in real time and to control those processes as they
execute. This capability reduces production processing time windows, because the BOBIP Adapter does not need to
wait for a polling interval to pass before reacting to the completion of a BOBIP task.
