general discussion

Hi,

I want to integrate BO XI Professional Release 2 with lotus domino database for reporting purpose.

Is it possible to use Lotus Domino database as the database in BO?

As per BO XI R2 Supported platforms, it can connect to lotus domino with Crystal Reports, are you looking for WEbI/Deski connectivity?

check platform.txt, you might get some idea on that

Crystal comes with a Lotus Notes ODBC driver, has done for years. There was a time when Lotus bundled Crystal.

It gives you access to views and forms, although the performance was never very good due to Lotus architecture.

Using the same ODBC driver you`d probably be able to connect Webi up using a generic ODBC database connection.

Personally I would get the data out of Notes into a normal database for reporting on it.

From my own experience a few years back, I can only second that if your intention is to use WebIntelligence.
