Can I launch designer using ZABO from my workstation.If so could you please let me know how can I do that?.Does the ZABO support shared connections?

Thankyou

No, Designer and Supervisor require to be launched in 2-tier mode (not ZABO aka 3-tier mode).

Unfortunately no. Only Reporter uses ZABO. Supervisor, Designer, Business Query all must use full-client (middleware on workstation) connections.

When you mean by full client connections ist “secured connections”.If have a universe with shared connection how can we make this universe available to other users to run report in ZABO.

If a universe have a shared connection it is not visible in available universe list in ZABO while creating the reports.

Thankyou

Is this related directly to your other thread here: shared connections

This is not related to my previous query.My question now is ZABO and shared connections.
My previous one was Full client and shared connections.

Let me recap my understanding of connections …

There are three types of connections:[list]Secured (Sec): stored in the repository
Personal (Per): stored on the workstation, and usable only by the BusObj user that created it
Shared (Shr): stored on the workstation, but usable by any BusObj user[/list]Next to consider is your method of connecting to the repository:[list]Full-client (FC) means you are using middleware that is on your workstation
ZABO means the middleware is on the ZABO server[/list]Now lets see how these two sets of distinctions work together (Y=Yes, N=No):

         ----Type---
  Method Sec Per Shr
    FC    Y   Y   Y
   ZABO   Y   N   N

Remember that Designer, Supervisor, and Business Query only use the full-client method of connecting. Reporter can use full-client or ZABO methods. Since the ZABO method cannot use personal or shared connections, it explains why ZABO users can’t use Free-Hand SQL.

Hope this helps.
