Hi Gurus!

We have a situation that we need to change an object on our Universe but we need to check first who are the reports using this object. Where can we find this information?

Cheers!

Thanks Haider!

Unfortunately, the tool only runs on Deski and lower versions of BusinessObjects. :expressionless: Are there any other method on how we can do it?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks!
John

John,

For this you have to use the SDK, unless you can afford Information Steward.

On such an old 4x version, such as yours, you may struggle to find the required methods to support this.
Certainly easier, as you progress through the later versions.
