Possible destinations

Destination
Description
Default Enterprise location
The publication is accessible from the folder in which it was created. For the default destination, you have these options:
  • Merge all PDF documents (Crystal reports only).
  • Package the publication as a ZIP file.

Note: If you distribute a publication to the default location or a shortcut to a recipient's Business Objects inbox, you must select a folder that is accessible to all recipients as the publication’s location.
Business Objects inbox
The publication is sent to the recipient's Business Objects inbox. For the Business Objects inbox destination, you have these choices:
  • Deliver objects to each user.
  • Have the target name automatically generated, to enter a specific name for it, or to choose from a list of placeholders.
  • Have the publication sent as a shortcut or as a copy.
  • Merge all PDF documents (Crystal reports only).
  • Package the publication as a ZIP file.
Email
The publication is sent to recipients via email. For email recipients, it is recommended that you complete the From field. If you do not complete the From field, BusinessObjects Enterprise uses the email address associated with the publisher's account. If the publisher's account has no email address, BusinessObjects Enterprise uses the Destination Job Server's settings.

Note: If there is no From value provided by the From field, the publisher's account, or the Destination Job Server, the publication will fail.
