NETMINING is proud to announce the availability of a new product: mySupervisor
mySupervisor from NETMINING NV is a powerful web-based product compatible with WebIntelligence and BusinessObjects.
mySupervisor is intended for support staff that has a need for supporting in an easily manner extranets and intranets users based upon WebIntelligence or Business Objects. By using their browsers support staff get instant access to detailed BusinessObjects user information and can maintain, create or delete users and groups.
As organizations deploy BusinessObjects and WebIntelligence products, they want the right resources to be easily accessed by the right users. mySupervisor provides clients with a complete and secure environment to manage their BusinessObjects and WebIntelligence users. mySupervisor’s web-tree feature is a 100% dynamic tool to manage easily all BusinessObjects and WebIntelligence users over the web.
mySupervisor interacts directly with the BusinessObjects Repository database.
The product is supported by NETMINING NV and is compatible with BusinessObjects v5 and WebIntelligence v2.5
mySupervisor interacts directly with the BusinessObjects Repository
database.
So - this invalidates Business Objects support agreements. Or have you approved the product with Business Objects?

I’ll let the list manager decide whether this classifies as ‘spamming the list’ Mind you, it’s at least more appropriate than saying ‘I’m available for work, please employ me’
There are several products on the market that incorporate Business Objects such as HP OpenView. The products are not supported by Business Objects but by the company who designed it. That’s why we provide support for it… please know that it is intended for support purposes only: creating users, deleting them… it does not replace the Supervisor!
The product has been welcomed by several people within Business Objects around the globe and to quote one of them: “If we would have known of this we would have won project X”.
I know but we acquired Netmining.com and we have a redesigned it and lost some data… Netmining.be is no longer valid…
what you are looking at is a mix. If you trouble with your BO products you can call BO support if you have problems with our tool, then you can contact us. Just the same as if you should have a problem with WebIntelligence on NT: if it is related to the product you contact BO otherwise you hope (read pray) for an answer from Microsoft.
What happens if we buy your software and it knackers our repository? Your company will say “It wasn’t our tool - it’s too good to do silly things like that” and BO will say “Since you’re using third party software to modify the repository we’re not supporting you”.
What if you have an database administrator who deletes the database (happened on numerous occasions)? Who do you blame then?
Our application uses a logging functionality so that you are able to trace what changes were made and correct if needed be. (I don’t think BO provides this)
Let’s objectively see what harm one could do with our application: - disable or enable a user/group
relink a user to another group etc…
disable or enable universe, document, repository rights
Nothing happens on the security level: row and object restrictions nor on the level of database connections.
Note that Business Objects provides a full description on how you can interact directly with the repository (under freeware of the CD-ROM). Many customers use this to create users automatically with SQL scripts etc…
