I am working on Business Objects-reporting side.
Database is Teradata.

I have two questions here:
1. We will be working only on Infoview on QA environment.
Do I need to add ODBC entries for the QA database server on
my machine to be able to create/refresh Infoview reports?

I will not be using Desk_I or Web_I rich client.

2. Once reports are developed,Admin team would migrate the
reports to Production and make these available to business
users.
The reports are Refresh on Open.

Would the business users need to have the ODBC entries of
Production database server in their machines to be able to
refresh these reports?

No need to have ODBC entries of Dev or Prod in every system
which is used to access reports. When any report is

Web Browser (infoview)>
