The @Variable function is used to call the value assigned 
to variables. 
The variables are of two types:
1) BusinessObjects system variables
2) Personal text file variables

In Static filter, record set is filtered based on a table 
field value.

In Dynamic filter, record set is filtered based on the 
value specified for a specific business object property.

cascading prompt means t is nested.means we can aaply the
prompt like this.region to country,country to state,state to
city.
step1;select objects and double click.then draw the region
to query panel then select operator and operand as select
new prompt.after type and drag the country to query panel
then select operator then operand as select new prompt. like
that we can create.then finally run query.then asks to enter
values 
for region after enter the values for country.

Cascading Prompts allows you to use values selected from 
one prompt to filter values in another prompt.

series of prompts which will narrow the enduser selection.
select an hierarchy and apply prompts.
Time hierarchy:year/quarter/month/week.
take dimension objects year/quarter/week and apply a prompt 
on month.follow the same steps.

report tracing is nothing but tracing the report for its
performence by using audit we can trace report like
how many users seen it.and users details ,its perpormence etc.

i donot know

the concept is tracing:-

mainly the tracing concept is coming in designer level. 

tracing means if u 2 tables, if u select one table column 
drag the cursor to the next table column. at that time 
cursor will turns into pencil symbol.

only one

Go to CMC and click on Objects
# search for the report name
# select the report properties and / File name : exp 
("cdze0466c24fac6c.wid") search for this on the cleint 
server machine where the repository is hosted an you can 
seet the size of the file there 

Thanks

Generally local filter would apply on a particular block.
(table, crosstab, )

A local filter is applicable only to a particular block i.e.
the block on which it is created like table or cross tab.

1) 
BO 5.1.2 had no Infoview.
BO 6.5.1 included Infoview, but no Crystal Report, CMC not 
present, instead Supervisor(thick client) was used for 
giving Users rights.
BO XI includes intgration with Crystal Reports, CMC (THin 
Client) for managing Users, security and Profiles
2)
Oracle 9i includes Bulk Inserts
Index Rename and Table Rename.

3) SQL is a 4 GL(Generation Language)
Pl/SQL is a 3 GL

5) Prompts are used for asking the user for Dynamic Inputs 
while refreshing the Report.

9) Yes we can create reports without creating Universe.

4) Broad cast agent is used schedule the reports through web
intellienges

8) ad-hoc reports means with in the orgainsation user can
create reports by directly interact with IT peoples. That is
time  depended reports not detailed reports

5)prompt is an enduser object,which allows the valus or 
entering the values to restrict the data displayed in 
document.
4)Broad cast agent is refresh data and schedule the data in 
report level.
6)master detail format means section,section means 
eliminate tha duplicates and display data in seperate block 
in the form of master detail relationship.
7)you can reduce the calculation and conditions in the 
report 
2) you can limit the cut copy phaste operations for user's
3) you can limit access no of report's at peek time you can 
improve performence at report level

in model:

1)you can remove loop's at that time you can improve 
performence at model level
2)use indexces you can improve performence

select file tab-then click on parameter-then we have an 
link tab-that will ask to link the which universe to
existing one.done on desiner
                         by shaik.emambasha

In Designer, 
1.Click on the File menu, say Parameters then one dilouge
box is displayed.
2. Click on the Links tab, and say Add Link then choose the
universe u want to link and say ok.
Then your universe is added to the existing one.

Click on File menu---> Parameter---> Links---->Add Link and 
then choose the universe  you want to link and give ok. 
Then the universe is added to the exisiting one

Maintainence of universe means adding new tables, 
refreshing the table structure after adding new tables,
create the joins between the new tables to existing tables,
identify loops if any, examine the integrity checks after 
any changes, determining the cardinality if any,resolving 
the loops, adding the new objects and classes , exporting , 
restricting access to users,etc..

all the operations after the initial production phase are 
maintainence

mean that we have to add some more tables to scheema design 
as per client requirements.and fine any prob if u add the 
tables.resolve and generate reports

I think we can not hide tables in webi.

We can hide a table in WebI when the table is empty.
From the properties tab,deselect 'Show when empty' check 
box.

There is no hide option available in webI but you can use 
the alerter trick to accomplish this.

To hide a column in webi just select the desired column and 
change its border color to the background color.

yes it is possible we can link the two universes by using
add link option which is available in parameters (option
seen in tool bar file menu)

universes can be joined.one universe is having one data
source.if you want to link one universe with a universe
having different data source it is not possible.
for linking two universes data sources must be same.
pls currect me if iam wrong.

wer con't join two universes,we can link two universes.
