I’ve heard that the official pronunciation is “BEER”.

No matter how it was pronounced in the past it is now known as BEER! (this is how SAP Business Objects employees seem to pronounce it)

A small BIAR (Business Intelligence ARchive) can also be referred to as a can, bottle or glass of beer.

A slightly larger BIAR can be referred to as as a 6-pack, 12-pack, or 24-pack of beer, depending on the number of files archived within it.

A large BIAR can be referred to as a barrel of beer.

A very large BIAR can be referred to as a beer truck.

The server where you generate your BIAR from is referred to as the brewery. If the BIAR is generated on a small PC, it is a micro-brewery.

I think too much about BIAR files!

I like that!

So what happens when you have too many BIARs in your system?

The system is drunk. Don’t rely on what it says.

It is ok if it is not driving. Otherwise, we might get Deriving Warehouse-data Incorrectly. Ha ha. :mrgreen:

If lucky, it’ll find a couch to crash on … and when it is up again, everyone will have a major hang over.

The story I heard is that the guys who were working on it late at night decided they were “beer” files!
