“Publishing” is the process of making documents
such as Crystal reports,
Web Intelligence documents,
and
Desktop Intelligence documents
publicly available for mass consumption. The contents of these documents can be
distributed automatically via email or FTP, saved to disk, or managed through
the
BusinessObjects Enterprise
platform for web viewing, archiving, and retrieval, and automated through the
use of scheduling. From within
InfoView or the CMC, you can
take documents and tailor them for different users or recipients; schedule a
publication to run at specified intervals; and send it to a number of
destinations, including recipients'
Business Objects inboxes and
email addresses.
Note: “Publishing” is distinct from the Publishing Wizard.
The Publishing Wizard is a Windows-based product that is designed to add
documents to the
Central Management Server
(CMS). For information about the Publishing Wizard, see the
SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise
Administrator's Guide.
