To install BusinessQuery, you must install also the middle tier, e.g., Oracle, with the BOMain key on the client. There is no such a thing as BusinessQuery user, using ZABO, i.e. eliminating the need to have the middle tier installed on that client. I believe this statement to be true. Please confirm.
Also, when you load BusinessQuery and you are prompted with the Login Box, you are not being presented with the option to select one of few BOMain key files. What is the BOMAIN key that is being used? How do we allow BusinessQuery user to work with few Security Domains?
I’ve not worked with BQ in quite a while, but it may be that they don’t support multiple domains. Webi doesn’t either, so that architecture has not made it through all of the products yet. Since BQ is what I would call a “second tier” product for BusinessObjects, it probably never got that capability.
Is it possible to get BusinessQuery working off a shared Master Install (network file share), with just the middleware (connectivity to repository and DB) configured on the local PC?
I ask because I notice that all the modules loaded by Excel for running BQ are off the server, so I think it should be possible to get things working if
[list]
[:fc3804471a]The BQAPI Excel add-in
[:fc3804471a]The two DSNs to the repository and the DB,
[:fc3804471a]The path to the BO executable in the PATH environment variable, and
[:fc3804471a]BO Registry entries pointing to the appropriate locations for the various DLLs used
[/list]
are present on the local PC.
It would be great if BQ could be made to work without a full-client install… I could arrange to distribute just the add-in and a registry patch.
